nary.
TIE Putnam county farmers have
pledged themselves to plant only one
third of their arabic land in cotton, Civ

LUCIUs L. WILLIAMS, of the county Of
Telfair, will probably have $4,000 more

has been fined that amount for contempt

THE president is able to be in Wash

which indicates that he has not lost his
grip on the politics of the state. He de-
