curious Scheme to Recover Money

Curious Scheme to Recover Money.
An effective scheme was worked by
Wilbur Labar to recover William ".
Lundy's roll Of money from the river
at Delaware, Del, a few days ago.
Lundy fell into the river and had no
time to look after the big roll Of bills
in his pocket while swimming to a
place Of safety. Consequently the
greenbacks foated off on the bosom
Of the Delaware and were soon lost
to view. searchs for them was dill
gently made, and was about to be
given up when young Labar proposed
a scheme he had seen worked in find
ing the body Of a man. He threw a
light pine chip IN the river at the
exact spot from which the money
started and watched it float in an
eddy a mile or so down the stream,
where IL stopped. and there, floating
on the current, was found the most Of
Mr.. Lundy's bills and checks.

LAND SHARKS.

spectators are at work all over
the most desirable parts of the
United States purchasing when
they can do SO at low rates, all
the good lands that they can Sc
cure. Even in some parts of
Georgia, though they are not as
active here as in some other parts
of the south, are they getting in
their work. In one county in
this state it is reported that there
are only twenty-five hundred acres
which remain unsold.
Farms in the northern and
western states are now selling their
lands at fancy prices and are i'm
migrating in vast numbers to the
fine lands of middle Canada which
they receive free from the Cana
dian government. In q few wears
they will be able to sell these
Canadian lands for the same good
figures which they obtained for
the American ones. 7
The sharks who watch these
movements are we'll informed.
Conditions in all the European
countries are becoming more and
more unss tisfactory to the labor
ing classes, heavy taxes and mili-
tarism being the most onerous,
and the consequence will be that
in all probability, this country will
soon see such all influx of foreign-
ers which as to numbers has never
before Leen known. The bulk of
them will too be of desirable
class with some money to buy
homes in this country. Hence
the foresight of the sharks.
The South has never, up to this
time been a favorite section with
home seeking foreigners, but we
believe that the tide is now about
to'change and out of sheer neces-
sity very large proposition of
them will because of the un-
crowded condition and cheap
lands of this section, be COM
PEELED to settle here. When this
time shall have arrived we shall
soon be as prosperous as is the
north,
The Georgia farmers who are
sacrificing their lands in order to
go west will we believe regret their
course in a few years.

SEWERS.

What has become of the propo-
sition to have sewers for our town?
A company some time ago was
granted a franchise to establish a
system for public use, but as yet
no steps have been taken to Install
it. As the legislature meets next
month would it not be good plan
to make application to it for an
amendment Of the city charter so
as to allow the town to own and
operate a water works plant and
a sewerage sytsem? The place is
getting too large to delay much
longer without serious danger to
health and comfort, the establish
ment of sanitary connections. A
walk in the vicinity of the open
sewers which we have numbers of
which are in the most public
places In our town will, by the
horrible odor which they emit,
convince anyone of the need of a
change.
If the company holding the
franchise, will in the near future,
establish sewers charging guar
antee reasonable fee for their SER
vices, we'll and good. But if
there is no immediate prospect of
their doing so the town should
not remain quiescent under pre-
sent conditions. In any event the
city charter should be amended so
as to allow the town to take the
initiative at any time if need be.
