A Georgia Alligator story.

An alligator story which beats the rec
ord comes from Early county. Some ne
groes were at work in a turpentine farm
near Damascus cleaning the trash and
straw away from the boxes preparatory
TO burning off the woods when they came
across an alligator who had crawled out
during a warm spell to put on his new
spring suit, but who was knocked back
into a state of dormacy by subsequent
cold snap The old fellow was lying there
stiff hard motionless and crusty, and
the negroes decided that they would
make an end of him by burning him up.
So they dipped turpentine out of the
boxes and covered him over entirely with
that inhamrnable substance and then
heaped pine straw on top of him and
then poured more turpentine on that.
When the fire began to blaze his alli-
gatorship suddenly awoke from dres ms
Of icebergs and boar frosts into what he
supposed was the land OF perennial sum
mer, where the bad gators go. Never
theless instinct was stronger than intel
lect, and Old Crusty decided that. even
though he were in he'll, he would split
for pond. He splitted. and through
the pine woods he went, leaving a long
streak of fire. His rapid flight 10 the
pond gave him the appearance of a
gorgeous meteor floating away, leaving
behind a tail of flame.
A minute later-the tail Of fire was a
mile long-the gator was rolling over and
under In the cooling waters Of cypress
pond. but the woods were burning up.
The festive darkies. who a minute be-
fore were waiting and watching I'm I'M
feigned glee to see the gator burn. were
now busy lighting fire. After a long
while they succeeded in putting IL out,
but ten crops Of boxes had been de-
stroyed.-Atlanta Constitution.

took rooms where two girls fought it out

Deer Hunters.

Nessrs. C. S. Marshall, A. r. Holdings
worth, Perry Hollar and Jim Foltz left on
Monday, two weeks ago, for hunt on
Lost River. They landed at the hospitable
residence OF Capt Abe. Miller, in the
Cap where they found royal welcome
as well as several very handsom and at
tractive Young ladies' This last circum-
staUce seemed to dazzle Curb's eyes and
affect his aim, consequently he shot but
one deer; but that was fine five pronged
buck, while Perry brought down large
doe and Jim Foltz shot nice forksd
buck, and came near having jIm-jams
oyer it, while it fell to Holly's luck to
shoot at old Mage" the dog, installing
him fer a deer. The crowd coming on
him few moments afterward he had no
time to make up a yarn therefore be
owned up to 1t like little man, and 1t
being the first chance he ever had 10 tell
the truth he has been feeling like hero
ever since. Perry seemed anxious to
always watch at the "Rock Bridge" and
the "Finger Board" much to the sur
prise of the rest OF the party until they
discovered the son-of. temperance smell on
his breath and then "what they knew
was plenty for all hands while it lasted"
Never was party of hunters better
entertained or more highly pleased, and
the buckwheat cakes, butter, venison and
other good things will lingeI in their
memories until they reach Capt. Miller's
house again next season. We return
thanks to our friend Curb for a delight
ful roast Of venison, and if tho splendid
shooting Of that handsome young War
densYille school mistress did charm him
so that he could have been "buncOed" out
of doz IN watches We will never tell.

The Kelly Cure.

Our readers have often heard much Of
the Keely cure an / many of them will be
glad 10 know that an institution of this
kind has been opened in Woodstock.
Parties who have been addicted to the
use of morphine will reioics to know that
there is cure for even this habit. The
confirmed use Of opium or morphes, saw
nothing but death before him, but science
has demonstrated the fact that there is a
way Of escape.
The drunkard upon whose scared and
blunted conscience, the claims of loving
wife and lovely children can have no in
fluence, can here find escape from his hell
upon earth. The effect of the treatment
needed not be discussed as nearly every
one has seen some one who has been
saved by these institutions. For partlc-
ulars read the advertisement of the
Monroeton Gold Cure, or call at the
Shenandoah House, in Woodstock, where
tull particulars can be obtained.
