PRESERVED IN A GLASS CASE.
Tie Fish Which Caused the Arrest of
Ex-President Cleveland.

Last fall ex-President Cleveland and
DR.. Bryant went fishing at Monterey,
a SMALL town in Massachusetts. When
they rowed ashore a game warden
found an understood bass in the boat
and Immediately placed boCh OF the
gentlemen under arrest for violating
the game law of the state. MIR. CleYe-
land claimed that he had caught the
fish, and was therefore responsible.
DR.. Bryant was equally positive that
he was the law breaker, and insisted
upon paying the fine. The matter was
finally compromised by permitting
third party, farmer who had been
with the distinguished fishmermen, TO
settle with the law. The farmer be-
ing we'll compensated, did no abject TO
the arrange ment. The fish thus
brought into notoriety has been pre-
served and mounted, and now rests in
a glass case in the Office of the fish and
game commission in the Massachusetts
state house, where it bids fair to be-
come a rival to the sacred Goldfish that
adorns the Massachusetts house of
representatives.

TO PLANT CANTALOUPES.
Large Carolina Planters Locate

A Brunswick special to the Savan-

Messrs. Cave and Co., the largest
planters in the state of South Carolina.

eral days ago closed deal through
Brobston. Tending & Co. for the lease
OF the Dover Hall property, the ia
nous o.d-time plantation now owned by
G.. w. Wright, and will at once ship
a carload of mules here, large quaint
ties of supplies and about so families
to go extensively into the watermelon
and cantaloupe raising business. They
will have three hundred acres under
cultivation before the present week
ends, and will add to that as rapidly as
their many hands can get into shape.
This news, coming on top of the an.
nouncement two days ago, that the
German peasant colonists from the
Russian townships were beginning to
arrive and were building their homes
and laying off their lands for truck
farming cultivation, gives the farm
ing industry of Glynn county a tre-
mendous impetus all at once.

A negro hand was pretty badly bruis-

Both engines are pretty badly de-
molished. and car loaded with knit
goods and car loaded with coal were
wrecked. The tenders of both en-
gines were completely wrecked, and
the cab of one of the trains badly
smashed up.
From the best information to be
gathered it seems that the delay in re
porting the southbound train. on the
part of operator Morris of Echeconnee,
caused the wreck. Mr.. Morris clear
ed the south bound train and failed to
report the matter to the operator at
Byron Immediately. When he did re-
port it was after the rthbound train
had left Byron.

AGED HUSBAND DINED

FROM HER ANY TIME.
Found Frozen in Cemetery Where Loved
One Is Buried. Romance That
Began 20 Years Ago.

Seventy years ago Edith Simpson
and Joshua Lamacreaux were children
together attending the I4amaoreaux
school house at Ceases Mills, Penn.

boast that the couple bad never been
separated from each other more than
four hours at the time. They had no
children and worked the farm togeth-
er. When the husband went to town
to sell his produce his helpmate was
always with him. A year ago the
aged wife died, and since then the
husband has been disconsolate. He
refused to be consoled and the work
on the farm ceased.
Daily the grief-stricken husband Wis
tied the cemetery and prayed over his
wife's grave. His thoughts were all
there. He carried his meals with him,
and as he prayed dined. Some of the
people who owned plots in the ceme-
terry asked the authorities to stop Mr..
Lamaoreaux from this practice, but he
was not interefered with. He stated
that as the graveyard has been named
after his father he should at least be
given the privilege of dining there.
He said that If he cannot have his
wife by his side at meal time he can
at least, join her spiritually at the
grave But now it is feared that the
end is near. Early one morning last
week the man was found in half freq
en- condition on his wife's grave. He
was removed to Il nearby farmhouse.
Owing to his great age and the manner
in which he exposed himself IN all
kinds of weather it is thought he cam

A REMARKABLE MAN.
Never Tasted Tobacco, Smoked
Cigar or Ate Chicken Meat.


Perhaps not more remarkable man
lives in the United States than Mr..
j. C. kirkland at bonneville, in Clinch
county, says the correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News;of that place,
He was born on little farm in APP
ping county, in this state, rs years
ago. He went through two wars, and
did noble WORK as a private in both.
The first was with the Seminole In
dians in 1888, for which he is now
drawing pension from the govern
ment. The other was the war be-
tween the states.
Clinch county was organized in 1850,
and he was the first clerk of the supe-
rior court.
Some of his most remarkable habits
are: he has never smoked a cigar or
pipe, or taken chew of tobacco in his
life: never has taken mouthful oil
chicken, and but little, il any, of any
other fowl; never had occasion to take
single dose of any kind of medicine
never used glasses and can read any
print, and today is hale and hearty,
full of life and cheerful "reminiscences.

SEABOARD TO EUFAULA.

Connection.

Americas may soon be put in closer
touch with Eufaula and southeast Ala
bama by shortline connecting that
city with the Seaboard Air Line at or
near Lumpkin. 1t is reported here
that the citizens of Epfaula are very
much in earnest about building this
connecting link, which will be only
twenty-seven miles IN length and, ira
versing a perfectly level country,
could be constructed at minimum cost
The link would probably touch the
mainline near the river bridge, thus
obviating building across the Chatta-
hoochee. Eufaula has her eyes still
fixed upon the Brunswick and Biz
mingham railway, and subscription
of $4,000 is all ready for the road
should it go in that direction. -Amerl'
