Jacksonville. Fla, Aug. 3.-George T.
Bell, night Waterman, and formerly a
member of the police force. shot himself
in the head with a pistol this morning
about GAS O'Clock at the residence of Sam
uel w. Fox. Bell boarded at Fox's house
and usually returned shortly after 6
o'clock in the morning. He had been
drinking for several days and this morn
ing when he entered the house Mrs. Fox
said to him:
"Oh, Mr.. Bell, you have been drinking
again.
YES" said Bell. I'm drunk again.
He then walked into the sitting room
and seating himself on a lounge, pulled
out a pistol and fourished it around.
Bell then called to Mrs. Fox saying:.
Come here and sit by me. 1 want TO talk
to you"
Mrs. Fox said: mo, have work to
do. Besides that, you are too drunk to
talk TO now. Go to sleep and when you
wake up 1 will talk to you.'
"All right" said Bell and placed the
pistol to his head and pulled the trigger.
Bell died tonight at 10 o'clock. He
came from Augusta, Ca, several years

A gentleman by the name of f. NJ. CAT

stated that he pulled watermelon from

Association at Hayneville which tipped
the beam at seventy-three pounds. II is
said to have been cut and set before
twenty-eight delegates and visitors to the
association and after their appetites had
been fully gratified the report is that
there was enough left for a half dozen
more melon munchers. AS Mr.. Caffey's

Of the melon in the local newspaper, there
is every reason TO believe that he is a
myth. and the story an ananiasism. OF

LowNDEs couNTY's GOOD SHOWING
The Curious Dream of n Man From
HaZeIhuFst.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 3.-The tax receiver
of this county, the Rev. +. r. c. Ellis, has
finished up his books and has sent them
on to the controller general. The returns
this year show that, while the real estate
values of the county are 100000 more than
they were last year. there is a decrease
in the total tax valuation of about $780,,
coo. The decrease is very easily account
ed for and indicates a still better condi-
ton among the people than is implied in
the gain in real estate values. There was
falling off here of 10000 in merchan-
disc. $41 coo in banks and about $4,000 in
stock, tool, etc The falling off in the
banks is due to the fact that one of the
banks here reduced its capital stock $2O,-
900 during the year and another invested
pretty largely in government bonds, which
are not taxable. The falling off In mer-
chandise emphasizes what has been writ
ten the Morning News from here and that
Is that the farmers are buying less than
ever known before on credit. Merchants
have carried light stocks on this &C
count. The decrease in stock valuation is
due to the exceedingly low price Of horses,
etc. and to the cattle which were frozen
out In the severe weather of the winter.
A man name Curry came here yester
day from Hazelhurst, and stopped at the
Clarke house. During the night he got to
dreaming about pretty creeks, lakes, ETC.,
and in his dream he thought he saw a
partner of his down under a bridge in
bathing. He dismounted from his buggy
and was in the act of taking a drop
plunge" in the water below when he
awoke Instead of finding himself on a
bridge, he was swinging by three fingers
from the sill of a second story window
thirty feet above the ground. He tried to
draw himself back in the window, but
was unable to do so. He was compelled
to drop to the ground. 1t is a miracle
that he was not injured by the long fall
