Hoods Pills cure sick headache. 25c,

Some ten or ffteen1years since a
big company in Georgia bought
from the State the Okefenokee
swamps, 100000 acres, at 26c an
acre, They were to be drained and
made fine farming lands, After
spending $4,000, the company be-
came insolvent, and it is probable
the lands will go back to the State
for taxes, as swamp lands, 1t may
be this way with the swamp lands
donated under the Smith railroad
law. One thing sure, if a railroad
acquires them taxes will be paid on
them.
