Terrible Deficiency of Wheat Abroad. |.
America to supply the World.

Late advices from Washington based on
reports of Government experts, report that
the shortage in the world wheat crop will
reach the starvation figure of 112 900 COO
bushels. America is relied upon to supply
the deficiency out of our grand product
of 460,o0000o. This deficiency can, with
some aid of the rye and corn crop, be
made up, but who could supply to the sick
and debilitated a deficiency of Hostetter's 5
Stomach Bitters. There is happily always
supply of that promptly helpful medicine
adequate to the relief of the dyspeptic the

and the principals stood in pits dug
for the purpose. Bynum fired on the
instant, possibly, a second before the
word, and his bullet grazed Perry $
chest on a line with the heart. Perry 5
bullet pierced Bynum's abdomen and
clipped off the tip Of the little finger
of his left hand, placed at his side.
Bynum sank to the ground, and his
surgeon and friends stopped on their
knees around him. Perry's surgeon
was at his side before the echoes of
the shots had died out across the water.
The reddish padding of Perry's coat,
exposed to view by Bynums bullet,
looked like blood. The surgeon tore it
open with nervous fingers. Then his
voice rang out exultantly:
Upon my word, sir, you're not hurt"
Then he turned to see what he could
do for Bynum. Perry strode down the
island with long, quick steps. Pres
emily he came back and said quietly:
Il want to speak to Bynum.'
The group around the wounded man
fell back as Perry advanced and said:
L hope, sir, you are not mortally
hurt"
Bynum looked up and replied:
Il would hate to die of so trihing a
wound; I hope to live to renew the
fight
Bynum was game until his last
breath. Perry lifted his hat, gave him
a compassionate look, and hurried off
to the home Of his parents, fifteen miles
up the river and two miles from South
Union, in Oconee, to break TO them the
news that he had fought. They must
have had an inkling of the meeting,
however or he would not have trav-
eled at such a great speed to tell them
of his safety.
Poor Bynum!" says Professor Dick
son in concluding his story. He set
out from his quarters that morning full
of life and hope and was brought back
within an hour dying man. That was
a portentous hour to him, an hour of
awful sacrifice, in which he staked all
the issues of life and eternity on the
hazard of the quickest and surest shot,

IN SEVEN YEARS.
Only One Marriage in That Time
at Fort Gaines.

The courtship of Miss Pearl Brown
by Joseph Culpepper was a delight,
tempered with anxiety, TO the entire
population of Fort Gaines, Ga The
announcement of the engagement was
public joy The wedding, which took
place last Tuesday, was the occasion
of a celebration which will never be
forgotten in Fort Gaines. AT this
moment Mr.. and Mrs. Culpepper are
quite the most popular citizens of the
town, and their example is held up to
the other young people by press and
pulpit as one which is not only worthy
of emulation, but one which the public
good demands should be followed.
Fort Gaines is a typical old South
Georgia town of $500 people. 1t stands
on the high bluff of the Chattahoochee
River, and for more than half a cen
tury has looked down in sleepy con-
tent upon the rushing, muddy stream.
In late years, however, its glory has
been somewhat dimmed, its trade les
sened and the population steadily de-
creased. Moral reform swept over the
town. There were no more cock fights
in the town hall and prohibition closed
the loors of the gin shops.
Most calamitous of all calamities, the
young people refused to get together" :"
as it is locally expressed. There was
no marrying nor giving in marriage.
The last wedding became a tradition.
With the notable exception of last week
there is not a bride in Fort Gaines
Of less than seven years standing.
This remarkable state of affairs was
not allowed to become a fact without
some protest on the part of those who
are always supposed to have the well
fare of a town most at heart Older
heads discussed it over their stick
whiting, parents advised, the preach
ers delivered weekly eXhortations from
the three pulpits, and the weekly pa
per contained many a ringing protest.
Young people, get married. was
ever the leader when nothing of
State or national interest absorbed the
editors mind But all to no avail The
young people did not get together" :"
They remained apart. SOciables and
church suppers We're devised in vain
by scheming mothers, until presently
the public mind grew warped and call
lous. The fate of ancient Greece and
the Roman Empire stared Fort Gaines
the ~ainmaker made mournful calcula-
tions Of the time when Fort Gaines
would be nothing more than a land
MARIA spot deserted and despised.
Miss Brown and Mr.. Culpepper be-
came engaged. Then there was joy un-
confined in every household. On last
Tuesday morning there was wedding
the first in seven years! The happi-
ness was not confined to the bride and
bridegroom. There were cOngratula-
tions on all sides and handshaking on
every corner People gathered about
in knots to discuss the happy event and
then adjourned en- masse to the resi-
denoe Of the brides parents. There

The existence of that rat upon the top
of the rock seems to have troubled
some people; to me it is easily explain
ed by the existence of birds nests and
eggs In abundance upon the rocks.
My investigation has been criticised
as being too cursory to admit of it's
being thorough, and that l was driven
off by a thunderstorm; but my critics
seem to forget that my apparatus was
still in place and in good order the
next day and nothing would have been
easier than to have gone up there
again, If it were thought either neces
sary or profitable. In view of the main
problem involved. e., had it been in
habited-I did not think it necessary
to go back again, as the surface of
the rock convinced me ON this point.
l picked up some fragments which
resembled ancient pottery, but could
not persuade myself that they were.
1 took them to Mr.. Pearce, and he
agreed with me that they were not pot
terry.
The shell bracelet might also be taken
as a proof of a comparatively recent
visit, for it certainly could not have
withstood the attacks of the climate
for any great period of time.
l also found several pieces of pottery
at the base of the mesa, not only near
the amphitheater where Mr.. Hodge ev-
identity made his climb, but also at
other points around the base; but these
only indicated the possible visit either
to the top or the base of some of the
natives. AS such relics have been re-
peatedly found in this position before
I did not think it important enough to
mention.

state that personal abuse does not en-

AS long as the main question is kept
in view-i. e., was the mesa ever in
answering it in the negative for l have
not yet seen any proof which would
establish anything more than the evil
