I'm going to see my friend Mar
tin, he told the boys. Now, tend to
business and don't let any get away 3"
And the boys gave their word that not
one should escape.
During Whalen's absence in the city
he went out of the sheep business even
more abruptly than be went into it the
previous autumn. The instruction to the
boys was fulfilled to the letter. Not any
got away.
1t happened on a hot day in June
when, contrary to the usual custom, the
boys brought the flock to camp and the
shade of sheds at noontime. 1t never
rains in that arid region, but sometimes
pours. This was one of those times
Charged with ice and water, a great
black cloud came drifting down the
wind and emptied out its load upon the
camp and the hillside above it. The
canal, curying around its base, formed
an cave trough for the whole mountain
and poured several Thousand inches OF
water into Whalen's improvised sheer
sheds. The food very soon subsidized.
but when the cloud had passed and the
sun again shone forth there were nc
living sheep. Not many minutes are

Meanwhile the boys, greatly fright.

thought for the safety of the flock, were

the table top.
The shack had no window, and with
the door closed it was pretty dark III
there. When Whalen reached home two
hours later the floor was still wet and
the boys were yet roosting on table and
barrel, but outside, in the bright sun.

Brick comment ON the catastrophe
While Whalen was working the boys
double time at pulling the wool from
the dead sheep he had the happy
thought of stocking his ranch with
bees. Having money enough from the
proceeds of his wool sale to buy 100
stands, he promptly carried the thought
into effect
Again he sat down in the door of his
shack to double his money.
This is better than sheep, said he,
for they herds themselves And they
are like mules in one thing-you are
liable to get hurt if you fool with 'em. =
This wave of prosperity broke up as
soon rs fo.mer ones had done, for he
had imported "A bad case of foul brood,
and within year the hundred swarms
had petered out. When we went down
there last summer in the interest of a
new company which has taken up the
work of completing the canal Whalen
gathered the bones out of the old shed
in the cut and hauled them to the rail
road, where he sold them for fertilizer,
realizing enough to buy two more mules

How Cold Metals Sometime. Mlx.

Professor Roberts Austen diseov-
cries on the subject of the interdiffusi.
bility of metals is most interesting
reading The facts have been to some
extent known to savants before the
meeting of the Royal society," at which
more public attention was drawn, but
on that occasion the results were made
more clear 1t was then shown that
solid metals may be made to mix them
selves as if the atoms were living crea-
lures
Professor Roberts Austen has in fact,
discovered pieces of metal engaged in
the very act of mixing themselves up
one with the other OF course the inter
est Of this is that the interdiffusion of
which we speak has been found to take
place when the metals We're cold, and,
though this property in metals, to be
capable of attaching themselves one to
the other when cold, has been talked
about before, nothing so clearly proved
has hitherto been at the service of
metallurgists ard chemists as the facts
adduced by Professor Roberts Austen.
He shows that when clean surfaces Of
lead and gold are held together in the
absence of air at temperature of 40
degrees for four days they unite firmly
and can only be separated by force
equal to one third of the breaking
strain of the lead. The professor has
also proved that if plate of gold be
laid under one of lead about three
tenths of an inch thick IN three days
gold will have risen and diffused itself
to the top of the other metal in very
appreciable quantity -Colliery Guar

Dawson may get another railroad.
The Georgia Pine Belt Railway is
sure thing and Dawson must have it,
The cambridge Democrat says the
work of grading and cutting crosshes
for this road is progressing with unabat-
ed energy-the grading being ready for
the crossties a distance of nearly fifteen
miles, with crossties ready for about ten
miles. Eight carloads of rails have been
received, and rails are coming from
Pittsburg by every freight train from the
east. The first rail will be laid and the
first spike driven this week, after which
the work of track laying will be pushed
1t is the intention of the projectors of
the Georgia Pine railway to complete it
TO Arlington in time fer next falls bust
ness, and then extend it further in this
direction, seeking connection at Dawson
or some other to WI in this section.
Dawson has been spoken of as the ter
minus of the Georgia Piue more fire.
Quently than any other town, and as it
is directly in line with the new road, and
would afford connections with two
strong and competing railway systems,
there is no reason why 1t should not
come here.
The rOau will open up as fine a section
of country as there is in Georgia, and its
coming would mean much for Dawson.
Everything possible should be done to
bring it here.

BIG BLOW AT BRONWOOD,
SEVERAL BUILDINGS DAMAGED
BY THE WIND.
Fences Wrecked and Trees Blown
Down. An Old Negro Caught
in the TimberS of His
Cabin.

A terrific wind and rain storm Oc-
CURED in Bronwood and vicinity late
Friday afternoon, and considerable
damage resulted.
The storm came from the northeast
and the wind blew almost with the
strength and velocity of full grown
cyclone.
At BrOnwOOd the cabin of Isaac Full
Ter, negro ninety-seven years of age,
was wrecked by the storm and the old
man caught in the falling timbers.
His loud cries for help attracted the
attention of citizens, and he was soon
rescued with only slight bruises on one
of his legs.
The warehouse of Mr.. G. w. Gunnels
was slightly damaged, and fences and
trees went down before the wind and
were tossed about as if they were insig-
nifcant objects.
On Mr.. John Hollands farm, about
two miles from Brentwood, a porch to
his residence was damaged and a small
building unroofed.
Mr.. w. II. Miller's crib was blown
down and his oats scattered about
prOmiscOusly.
Severe Near SasSer.
The storm reached the height of it's
severity in the neighborhood of Sasser.
Professor J. d. McLendon was in
Dawson from there Monday, and re-
ported that the dwelling and an out
house on Mr.. w. j. Mays farm were
unrOOfed
The front porch of Mrs. Wellborn's
residence was lifted in mid air and
carried considerable distance.
Mr.. George Collier was at his lot
feeding his stock when the storm came
up, and was carried fifty feet by the
wind and thrown against a gate. He
was not seriously hurt.
The wind extended several miles and
havoc was played with fences and trees
IN ITS entire path, in some places the
public roads beng made impossible by
distractions that were blown in and
across them.
During the storm slight hail fell,
but there was not enough of it to dam
age the crops.
Mules Killed BY Lightning.
Over in Lee county, on the Ramsey
place, four mules were killed by light
ming Friday afternoon. They belonged
to tenants on the place.
