Gainesville, Ga, Aug. 25.-The question
of blind tigers in Gainesville is being dis
cussed through the public prints 1t is a
fact that they infest the city, and there
seems to be no way to securing the law
breakers and to meet out justice.
The Currypee gold mine, out from
Gainesville six miles, is now claimed to be
one OF the best paying mines in North
Georgia. Work is being done day and
night and much ore is being taken out. A
newer process for separating the fine gold
from the ore is used, and it seems to pay
better.
Gainesville has been well filled with sum-
mer resorters, but they are beginning to
leave now.

Military Maneuvers Of the Animals II
South Africa.
Man Is not the only animal who car
ries ON his warfare by means Of o..
ganized bands and calls in the forces OF
nature to assist him. The German
naturalist and traveller, Brehm, wit
messed in central Africa fights that
were conducted in as orderly a man
ner as if the warriors had been really
men, instead Of only somewhat like
them in form, says Youths Companion.
The actors in the play were balloons
and their enemies were in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons
were ready to fight with any creature
that attacked them, man only except
ed; and he owed his exemption SOLE
ly to the fact that the balloons could
