GUYTON GLEANINGS.
Small Vote on an Election to An
thOrize Bonds.


Guyton, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE election yes
terday was quiet one. Only eleven votes
were polled, seven for, and four against
issuing bonds The cause of the indiTer-
ence is attributable to the fact, that after
the election was ordered by council. a
voucher was received from the Central
railroad for back taxes which is nearly
enough to pay the difference between the
old academy building and the Guyton
high school property. The result of the
vote does not affect the trade that was
agreed upon between the two pieces of
property. II is thought now that the mon
ey in hand will be paid 20 the owners Of
the Guyton high school property, and the
notice Will be closed up without any fur
ther trouble.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-It is stated here
to-day that the litigation under which the
assets of the Corbin Banking Company in
this state were placed in the hands of a
receiver at Macon some days ago is in a
fair way to be settled. An understanding
seems to have been reached and r. b.
FEEDER. Jr., representing the Corbn Bank
ing Company, says he has assurances that
the settlement will be consummated. This
is the result of a conference of attorneys
here last night, at which T. j. Fielder Of
New York, at whose instance the Georgia
receiVership was obtained was present
with other parties at interest. The suit
was one of great Importance both because
of the immensity of the property involved
said to include over 81 900 600 worth of Sc
curties In Georgia land, and on account
of the issues involved which affect the
validity of mortgages taken under this
system of loans. 1t is claimed that the
mortgages are invalid because of usury.

ten is the evolution of one first tried
in Lexington. Mass, subsequently in-

many improvements in operation in
Louisville. The merit of the new sys-
ten is that it facilitates communication
between subscribers. thereby realizing
to a degree the mission of the telephone.

NEVER PAYS RENT.
Evicted More Times Than He Has
Fingers and Toes.

George Zimmerman, a drayman OF
San Francisco, enjoys the unique dis.
tinction of having been evicted from
dwellings he has occupied more than
any mar the sheriff has yet had 70 deal
with.
During the last six years he has been
put out of at least two dozen houses
and it has come to such a pass that he
is OH the blacklist of several real es-
tate offices and cannot rent q dwelling
from them at any price.
Zimmerman seems to rather enjoy
being put out of the houses that he
precmpts, and smilingly refuses to
move or pay rent when the agent of the
house he happens to be in informs him
that lie must take either alternative.
According to the deputies of the sher.
IFS Office, who have evicted him SO
many times that they have almost lost
count Of the number, the drayman has
several methods of getting into houses
before his identity is discovered.
When his household effects have
been carried into the street by perspir
ing deputies, he has his wagons ready
and loads them in a few moments
Then he starts driving the stuff him
self until he locates a house which
strikes his fancy.
Usually the key is at some corne,
grocery and he sends one of the chill
dren in to get it on the plea that the
mother is waiting at the house to ex
anime it.
The wagons r waiting in some 10
cality around the corner and out o.
sight, and the key once in his posses
sion, it takes the drayman but a few
moments to unload his effects and Il
place them where only a legal pro
cess can get him out.
On a few occasions Zimmerman has
called for the key himself saying thai
his wife is pleased with the outward
appearance of the dwelling and want:
to see the interior.
The result is almost invariably the
same. Zimmerman gets possession
the rent is not forthcoming, and the
sheriff is called upon to perform hi.
periodical duty.
During Sheriff Laumeiste2's admin
istration Zimmerman was evictet
eighteen times and since Sheriff WHEEL
an took the reins the deputies lav,
handled the Zimmerman belongings s,
often that they know every individua
piece us well al they do their OWL.

II saw three snakes us white as snow
last week on the West Fork. l told my

wouldn't be believed by everybody, but
I can swear to the story. The snakes
were summing OF a rock lear the fork,
and I stopped to throw a rock at the
reptiles. They moved sluggishly, and
I got a good look Mt them. They were
about 3k feet long. and their heads
were fiattened like a spreading adder.

looking. I never saw anything like
them before. and l wish l could have
