below the surface. We l"arn. Part Of the cas-

moved short distance, and the drill again
started in search OF water. IT seems that bad
luck has attended this work ever since IL be-
gan, and now just little good luck would
come IN all right, aud we would soon have
water.

nicely. The work goes on day aud night, and

"EXperiepce Is dear school but a good
one Is an old saw and true, SO some people
have found out To the tune of Il considerable
sum in dollars and cents, besides the worry
and trouble involved. The case In point is
this: Some mouths ago number OF our c!ti.
as the Equitable Loan and Security Com
pany." This company, il seems, through It's
agent here, made promises to The certificate
holders (or bondholderS or whatever they
may be- called OF golden harvest, and that
at an early date This the company has
failed TO do,
10 make long story short, the weeks have
passed into months, The months have hid
themselves. and the golden harvest cometh
not. See! Now, those parties having the
above experience. have invoked the "strong
arm Of the law" in their behalf, aud through
Ing an effort TO at least get back their invest
meut.
Mondays Atlanta Journal stated that "a
receiver had been asked for by the South

and Security Company" What the result
