Found in His Cell More Than
Enough Gold to Pay His Fine.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Getting drunk has its drawbacks and
its lock-ups, but sometimes its lock-ups
are attended by glorious consequences.
A case in point is illustrated in the
Incarceration of John Soeffing. who lives
in the neighborhood of Ninth and But
tonwood streets. John imbibed not wise
ly, but too well. on Sunday, and in con-
sequence was in a condition unfit for
publication. He was zig-zagged. by the
help of a Samaritan bluecoat, to the sta
ton house at Tenth and Buttonwood
streets. and locked up in a coy cell
Johns mind was not sufficiently lucid
to enable him to ruminate on the dirt
on his trousers or the buzzing in his
head So he curled himself up into
ball on the hard bench and in vague,
headachy way thought that he would
hibernate and wake up about the first
of April. N'"
John Soeffing fell asleep. When he
awoke, some hours later, directly in front
of his line of vision, and gazing at him
from the floor, was the Goddess of Lib
erty. He thought it was a medallion of
this famous lady, but on a second look
he became convinced that the goddess
was attached to a five-dollar gold piece.
I'm drunk yet" whispered John to
himself, in a scared way: mot only
drunk. but I'm dreaming, too
So John Soothing closed his eyes for
full minute. Then he opened them wide.
There lay the gold piece just as he had
seen it before. Maybe l am awake
thought Soothing. land it's real money
His heart beat so fast at the tremen-
dous possibilities that were encompassed
within that disc of gold that John Soet-
fling lay still for five minutes. Then
steathily as a cat would steal upon an
unsuspecting sparrow, John tiptoed TO-
ward that fve-dollar gold piece, ana
grabbed 1t.
Deep down in his trousers pocket pc
sunk the golden Goddess of Liberty, ana
then. tiptoeing back to his bench, he tore
off about four more yards of sleep from
the garment of Morpheus.
The turnkey awakened him YESTERDAY
morning and the committing magistrate
fined him S. John paid his fine with Ms
friend. the goddess. He pocketed the two
dollar bill he received in change ana
whstled his way into the morning air

COLoUITT,s FINE LANDS.

Hon. o. B. Stevens. Commissioner Of
Agriculture, recently visited Colquitt
county and this is what he says about
It.:
II have just been looking over the
lands where the pine timber has been
cut off, and I declare that it is pleas
ure TO speculate upon its value from the
standpoint of a farmer. 1t is a rich.
loamy, gravelly soil with a good solid
clay foundation and is adapted to al
most anything. For long staple or short
staple cotton, corn, oats, rye or barley,
it is just fine. while it is the native ele-
nent of rice. Wheat will grow there,
but not as well as in other sections, but
there is hardly any other crop that will
not attain the highest state OF perfec-
ton in that glorious county. A farmer
could get rich raising nothing but pota-
toes, sugar cane and hogs down there. a"
