The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon,
again with tens of thousands the hard
est kind of work has bsgun, the renewal
of which is a mental and physical strain
to all except the most rugged. The lit
tie girl that a few days ago had roses
in her cheeks. and the little boy whose
lips were then so red you would havein-
sisted that they had been kissed by
strawberries, have already lost some
thing of the appearance of health. Now
is time when many children should be
given tonic, which may avert much
serious trouble, and we know of no
other so highly to be recommended as
Hood s Sarsaparilla, which strengthens
the nerves, perfects digestion and as
similation, and aids mental development
by building mp the whole system

which has served on such occasions

and so this priceless old price of
furniture was hauled to the up

its historical associations, the chair
was smeared with stain and warm

priceless work of art, beside its
value in its original form as a his

profane hand of the upholsterer has
shocked The true lovers of antique
relics OF history and art.

The success Of rice culture in this
section is no longer prnblematical
The Weld of fifteen barrels per acre
on the sixty-ive-acre tract planted
as an experiment by w. NJ. Rat
cliffe for the Brownsville Land and
Irrigation company, on their land
seven miles from Brownsville,
proves beyond doubt that land and
climate here are all that could be
desired That the experiment was
satisfactory to the company IS
proven by the fact that they are
preparing to plant four thousand
acres In rice the coming season.
They are also spending large SIMS
for machinery, having about n
hundred tons of machinery now ell
route here, which involved heavy
investment, besides which thew are
having a fve-mile irrigation canal
cut from the river to their land
Another experiment with rice was
made in small way, at the Brulay
sugar plantation, where four acres
was planted aud made HI excellent
yield, and is now growing nicely
again from the same roots, without
replanting. Another feature in
favor Of this region as rice coun-
try is the length of the warm sea
son. A crop of rice may be planted
and harvested within less than
three months, so that two crops
can easily be made here.
AS TO the yield, it may be safely
calculated that on 1000 acres, which
the said company viii plant. nj
least 1000 tons of rice will be made
This enormous output of rice, be
sides other products that are ex-
pected 10 come into the market
from the lands along the irrigation
canal, is going to put a different
aspect on the local freight Situa-
ton. Some have urged that it is
useless TO raise large crops here as
we have not the transportation 10
market them. 1t need scarcely be
bointed out that this company
would not go into project to pro-
duce 1000 tons of rice which would
be dead weight on their hands
without access To the markets, un-
less they were assured of means Of
transporting it, And, in this con-
nection, it is whispered that the
Morgan line contemplates renew
al of its service to this port. 1t is
also rumored that definite plans
exist for the early. construction of
a railroad to Brownsville, of which
the capitalists interested have cog
rizance. Of one thing We may be
assured, however, and that is that
next year will see at least four
thousand tons of rice shipped to
market from Brownsville.
One other feature in favor of
this section for rice growing is the
cheapness of lands here as compar-
ed with other sections, there being
an abundance of virgin lands ia |
vorably located for irrigation.
which can be bought at So to So
per acre There is every induce
ment for rice growers TO locate
here, and the coming year will
probably see more than one large
rice plantation in operation on the
lower Rio Grande.

a case there and as he could not be at both Augusta and Cotton Plant the same day, he appointed lawyer in his place and went to Augusta. At 2 o'clock, R. P. Stamps court was opened by Deputy sheriff, Will Melton and the case called. The defendant plead not guilty and as no jury was demanded, the case was heard by the court. The state made out a clear case and the court set the fine at $100.O0 and cost. The defendant was taken back to jail and given until Mon day at noon to settle this matter or go to the county farm and work it out. This defendant is said to have had two wheeled cart filled with pint bottles of booze and bottle or two of some kind of medicine. This he would peddle throughout the country. He is said to have been at this business for some three months.
 The news comes over our pri- vate telephone from the Revels neighborhood of dance. Well. to start at the beginning, our friend W. H. Flynn is getting out timber at Fakes. Last week sometime, he decided to ride back to McCrory on a bolt wagon. Of course, he knew, at least so we are informed, that the wagons would not return to McCaory un- til the next day. You can imag- inc how blank our friend looked: no opportunity to go home. We'll, he decided to remain over night and incidentally go with the boys to the dance aforemen- toned. Supper time soon drew and as MT. Flynn dearly loves greens, ne helped himself like a young boy in an orchard or a girl at an ice-cream supper when she has plenty of "fellers. After supper, MT. Flynn, Bob McDan- iel and aur smooth faced friend Take Notice Allen: all took strole to the dance. We do not know whether they danced or not but if they had an opportunity, we are satisfied they did. Some one told US, they danced till there was no use. One thing we do know and that is, MT. Flynn feasted so heartilyon his favor ite dish, greens, that he could

 MT. Boyd Angus goes next Saturday to Judsonia to enter school. Boyd is afraid of the small -pox here. If he would ask our" devil" he would find out that McCrory has no more small pox: it is a thing of the past. We believe Boyd has a girl lobat- ed somewhere near Judsonia and for that reason, he deems it expedient to change climate. We hope he will be benefited by the change.
 On last Friday case was tried before Esq. w. w. Best with Dr. w. T. Mccain, plaintiff and l.. O. Cook estate, defendant. The plaintiff was represented by Mayor H. T. Raney and Atty. B. c. Kramer and the defendant by Atty. H. M. Woods. The court was opened by Deputy sheriff W. c. Boyd and the plaintiff de- clared ready for trial. The at torney for the defense moved to dismiss the case which the court over-ruled. The defendants then withdrew from court and a judgement was rendered against the Cook estate upon default. IhereupOn court adjourned.
