bigger game than was first anticipated.
for the reason that most Of the money
found in their possession was counter
felt silver dollars. This is a new phase Of
the free silver craze that was not looked
for in this section. The general impression
is that there is a band Of these criminals
infesting all of this section of the state,
for about the same time that the safe
burglary occurred at Alapaha another oc-
Cured at Ashburn on the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad twenty miles
north Of Triton. and the news comes this
morning that there was another safe bur-
glary at WillacoOchee on the Brunswick

both robbing and counterfeiting, and II
behooves the good people of all this sec

Triton shipped "a solid cars OF peaches
this season thus far, notwithstanding
there was only half a crop Many hum
dreds OF packages were shipped by ex-
press, besides, In lots OF from 10 to 100
packages. The fact is that there will be
more truit shipped from the Triton dis
trict this season with half a crop than
last season with fun one owing to the
fact that the trees are more mature, and
new orchards came into bearing Very
satisfactory prices have been realized.
