Valdosta, Ca. June 23.-News was re-
eeived here this morning of another bur
glary at White Springs, Fla. 1t makes
nearly dozen mysterious burglaries that
have occurred along the line of the Geor-
gia Southern road during the last week
or two. Last night the depot Of the above
named place was entered and the safe
blown open with nitro-g lycerine. The safe
belonged to the express company, and con
tains considerable. number of express
money orders. reports, etc, but not over
So in money. No clew has been gotten 20
the burglar, but it is understood that the
ofhcials have suspicious that may lead TO
arrest. Suspicious looking parties have.
been taking in that section for quite a
while and every precaution has been taken
by the railroad agents and express men
to make their raids without profit Money
and valuable packages have been taken
from the safes and hid out as a protec-
ton from burglars, and the consequence
is that with a dozen depot and express
robberies lately, very little has been lost
to the companies.
The express office at Madilla was robbed
Friday night, but little was stolen. One
young white man from DouglassvilIe was
arrested for breaking in the Office at Ara
bl. Some Of the stolen articles We're found
on him and when pinned down he made a
full confession and showed the officers
where the other things were hid under
the pulpit in the church of the town.
The articles were all recoy-
cred and We're being held by the com
pany as evidence against Smith, when
the office was again robbed and the goods
stolen again.
The local authorities here are busy now
keeping the trains off of the street cross
ings. There hasbeen an ordinance regula-
ting trains in blocking crossings, but it
has been ignored and in some cases tram
pied upon by the train crews. Recently,
however, several conductors have had to
come before the mayor and pay a fine. The
heroic measures adopted by the city IA
theirs have had good effect.
Watermelons are being shipped now and
fair prices are being offered for them. The
crop is a splendid one through here and
about go cars Will be shipped out of this
county. The farmers are having the best
outlook known here in years. Corn and
cotton both are finer than they have been
seen at this time of the year in an age.
The seasons have been perfect so far and
nobody has any reason to complain.
1t is said, too, that Lowndes county will
raise 1900 hogs to sell this year. One
farmer has 500 big, fat porkers now and
has employed a special attendant for them
Cholera has been a great draw back to
hog raising in this section of late, but
very little of it has been reported this sea-
son. The following prescription for hog
cholera has been tried here and found very
successful There has been a demand for
it and it's publication may be Of interest
and benefit to the readers of the Morning
News. 1t is from DR.. T. J.. Dodge of Ham
ilton, ILL.,.
The prescription and directions are as
follows:
Arsenic, one-half pound cape aloes, one
half pound; blue vitriol, one-fourth of a
pound; black antimony, one ounce. Grind
and mix well the remedy before using.
The following are the directions for US
ing:
!. Sick hogs in all cases to be separated
from the well ones, and placed in dry pens
with only five large hogs or eight small
ones in each pen.
?. Feed nothing but dry food, but no
water. only the slop containing the remedy
until cured.
8. When hogs refuse to eat turn them
on their backs, and then with a long-han-
died spoon put the dry medicine down their
threats.
4. Dose for large hogs: One teaspoonfuI
three times a day for three days; then
miss one uay ana repeat amount until
cured. Shoats or pigs, one-half the
amount.
5. AS a preventative, one teaspoonfuI
once a week will keep your hogs in a
healthy condition to take OH fat. 1 can
place one well hog in a pen with 100 sick
ones, and with this remedy keep him
well.
6. Let no other stock but hogs have ac-
cess TO this remedy, as it is to them a
deadly poison.
DIR. Dodge adds that for many years he
sold his recipe for S., and treated of hogs
at the rate or 81 per head, paying the
owner 10 cents a pound for all that died
after the treatment began.
Rev. 2. II. Murray of the Baptist
church resigned his pastorate here this
morning to take effect at once. Mr. Muir
ray has served the people here for several
years and is universally popular with all
the people here.
