moter of million-dollar corporations, is
wanted by the police. Since his recent
awakening from a protracted trance he
has disappeared from View. A horse and
buggy belonging to Andrew Mcmillan of
CorneIa has also disappeared. 1t is
thought that in his sleep Telfar mistook
the animal for a nightmare and drove il
far away into dreamland. AT latest ac-
counts he had not walked up again.

Davis and was shot, died Monday No III
quest was held. as number of witnesses,
both white and black, saw the negro as
he attacked Mr.. Davis. ana all knew the
killing was in self-defense. The negro
had fighting, overbearing reputation
among his race, and all deem him a good
nuisance gone to his proper reward. Mr..
Davis is doing nicely, except he has to do
his sleeping all on one side on account of
the ugly wound in his head.

candidacy for appointment to the Bruins
wick City Court judgship TO succeed Judge
sam {. Atkinson. the present encumbent
whose term will expire Jan. / next 1t is
not known just yet who win oppose Judge

will probably enter the race later on. The

1t is very probable that the Georgia
Fruit Growers Association when il meets
In Macon on the first Wednesday of next
month viii decide without any doubt 10
merge into the state Horticultural Asso-
cialion. In fact, a movement is on foot
now TO that effect, and the transfer of the
work Of the Fruit Growers Association
viii be very quickly done. 1t simply means
that the Georgia Fruit Growers AssocIa-
ton will pass out of existence This,
however, does not meet with the views of
a number Of the growers, and a movement
is on foot 10 start a Fruit Growers Elk
change on a large scale. II is probable
that work on this will commence at once
and that organization will as far as pos
sible, be pushed throughout the state in
order that there may be perfect organi-
cation in time for next years CROP
Columbus Enquirer Sun: There is a
movement on foot. which. If successful.

visiting Columbus in the next week or so.
As is well known, this regiment is now at
Savannah. The regiment will be muster
ed out within the next few days. and the
men will leave at once for their homes I'm
Inherent parts of the country. An effort
IS being made to get many OF the men To
return 70 their homes via Columbus. II
was learned Yesterday that the railroads
entering the city would, in all probable
ity. sell tickets to the boys which would
allow them a stop-over of several DAYS
IN this city. Inasmuch as Columbus Is
directly on the route home, il is not i'm
probable that large number Of the mem
bers Of the regiment will come to This citv
ana spend about week here
