Riddle" alias James jones, one Of the
robbers who escaped at the river
bridge IN the morning Of Sunday, Nav

were told in the columns OF TIR CHIEr
at the time. Sheriff RuHchey since
bhat time has been alert and left no
stone unuurned that would lead 30 a
clue OF the whereabouts and the cap

o last week he received a letter from
I. A. Leasure, sheriff Of Custer county
stating that a man bearing IA good re-
sembAnce to the description aud pho

the first train out for that poiut. On
arriving ii was learned that the man
wanted was supposed to be in hiding
at the home Of u brOMher.in.la law up
among the sand tNls and canyons,
about twenty three miles from Broken

1t is something to be wondered at that
farmers do not devote more attention to
their gardens, says a horticultural ex-
change. 4 town man will carefully par
tition off the rear of a lot and so econo-
mize space as to make it produce a goodly
and attractive portion of the food which
comes upon his table. He viii plant and
tend it with the taste Of an epicure AS
paragus will have it's little corner; currant
and gooseberry bushes will fringe the
fence; cauhhower and egg plant will have
the end of lot, and rhu-
barb and other elements of pie construc-
ton find an appropriate place. The farmer
too often contents himself with a few
rows of beans and peas back of the house,
a cabbage patch and a bed of onions; the
time he gives to these is all he feels he
can spare from his growing crops.
Now life's possibilities in the way of lit
tie luXuries are none too great The far
mer's environment deprives him of many
of the pleasant diversions incident to city
life; it gives, as compensation, many pos
sibilities denied the jewellers in towns.
There are those among us who are not I'M
mindful of the pleasure of the table. A
well garnished board generously spread
with the seasons dainties adds wholesome
zest to the daily round of existence. 1t fos-
ters contentment; it is an anodyne to care.
It's fullest possibilities are within the far
mer's reach.
Why not, this season, give little less
thought to money making and a little more
to the pleasure of living, by the way? Why
not less concern about what is to be raised
for others and lite more about what is
10 be raised for ourselves? Recent condi-
tons have gone far toward forcing the
farmer to live directly upon the product of
his own exertions. That which he sells is
yielding prices so disappointing
that he may not unwisely con-
clude that it is best after al.
to plant for his table rather than the
market. There are unworked possibli-
ties in the farmers garden; there was
never a better time to develop them than
No.

Of sable hue. The coaches Of those from
the country houses were huge affairs, with

Apropos Of these coaches; It's told by ira
dition that the Sheftalls were the first to
bear arms emblazoned on the panels OF
their coach.
At these formal affairs were present all
the wit, youth and beauty Of Savannah.

this splendid vegetable can be grown very
successfully in middle Georgia. The
plants must be grown in cold frames in
January, set out in the open ground in
February, and then their growth pushed
by frequent shallow cultivation. The soil
should be made very rich with old com
post and bone dust The soil should be
deeply plowed and narrowed, but all the
cultivation should be shallow. Refining
the soil about the plants after hoelng is
really beneficial. Any one who can irri-
gate this crop and has suitable land to
grow it on can make it's culture very pro-
ftable, especially near the cities or large
