STILL SHIPPING BEEF CATTLE
Large Numbers of Georgia Beeves Are Sent
to the West.

LdiSe NulnDeFB Oh UeOFgla BeeNeS Are Sent
to the West.
The purchase of beef cattle in Sumter
and other sections of southwest Georgia
tor shipment west continues, and thou
sands Of the lean kline will thus be sent
to the plains to be fattened. An agent
is now in Americas with the view of
purchasing 5000 head of cattle if that
number can be secured.
Already several carloads have been
shipped from Americas, while a much
larger number have been purchased in
the sectic rs about Albany, Arlington
and other south Georgia points.
The demand from Nebraska and Ari-
iona as We'll as from the far west has
caused agents to come south and are now
getting all the contracts they can. The
freezes OF past years have cut off the
supply of cattle in the west and the little
scrub cows and calves of the wiregraSs
are taking on new values. 1t is said
that in the past four months over 90 900
head of cattle have been purchased in
southwest Georgia to be sent west.
This year the stock in the west is
growing up well, but it will take some
time to repair the damages in the west.
and Georgia cattle are being drawn upon
to fill the deficiency. A large amount
of money is being spent in Georgia
for cattle now. -Americus Recorder.

Mr.. Coleman and turned over to the
sheriff.

having come to this county with him
from Emanuel and had always born a

the Sagasta government came a note
in reply to the presidents offer, which
says:

law to the effect that any Spanish sailor

government is unable to act upon the sug-
gestion OF the United States and remove

as a thankless child; there's something

at Washington was surprised to learn
that the Spanish government had noti-

SAYS that our government has no in

the Spanish prisoners under parole, blu
