Blackshear Times: We favor Col. j.
H. Estill for Governor because he is
South Georgia man, and we think
that he is fully capable of filling the
office with entire satisfaction to his
constituents and with credit to him
self; not that the other two candidates
are any less gentlemen of character
and ability but we do claim that south
Georgia is worthy OF recognition, and
Col Estill being the only man in the
race from South Georgia for this high
office we, as South Georgians, ought to
rally to his support. North Georgia, as
a rule, unites on her man and why
should South Georgia divide on her
man?

WAITING FOR RECIPROCITY.

While awaiting the outcome of the
proposed Cuban tariff legislation the
cigar manufacturers of Tampa have
shut down on their rush work. Since
Saturday afternoon quite a number of
men have been laid off at the various
factories. When the matter was in
vestigated the statement was made by
persons interested that the stock was
short, and it thus became necessary to
slow down a little. 1t then developed
that the manufacturers have been i'm
porting as little tobacco as possible,
within the last few weeks, owing to
the unsettled condition of the Cuban
tariff laws. The position is taken that
If there is going to be a reduction in
the tariff the factories might just as
we'll slow down little, wait and take
advantage of any. reduction that might
be made. All have large orders on
hand, but, owing to the fact that there
is a probability of making something
by waiting for the reduction, it was
deemed advisable to hold up for few
weeks

Gratis are sad over losing the services
of Hon. Fleming duBignon as chair

JUDGE BLECKLEY LOSES HOME.

The home of Judge Logan E. Bleck-
ley, at Gainesville, was completely de-
stroyed by fire Wednesday afternoon.
The fire was started by sparks which
blew out from one of the chimneys of
the house. Only a very few household
goods were saved. The loss is placed
at between $1,000 and $4,000, with no
insurance. Judge Bleckley's home was
one of the Oldest in Gainesville. One
of the most serious losses by fire was
his valuable library. The house at one
time was the property of the late Gen.
Robert Toombs, and served for a while
as his home. This is the second time
Judge Bleckley has sustained loss by
fire, as his summer home, on Screamer
mountain, in Rabun county, was
burned about eighteen months ago.

There is a scarcity of seamen in every
New England seaport now, as the open

away many sailors who were available
for coastwise trips through the winter.
Lumber coasters particularly have hard

the custom nowadays.

siberian Butter.

Siberia has long been sending but
ter to England, but the opening of the
Trans-Siberian railway has made it a
far more formidable competitor than
1T formerly was. Last year the i'm
ports of Siberian butter were valued
at e1,4oo,0oo, and this year it is esti-
mated that they will reach the value of
s2,5oo,ooo. The supply of butter which
Siberia can furnish is said to be prac-
ticslly unlimited, and it is possible
that the opening up of Siberia may
affect the dairy industry of these
countries as disastrously as the open.
ing up of America affected the wheat
growing industry. 1t is also expected
that Siberia will shortly food the Eng.
lish market with poultry, game and
meat. Cheerful news for the already
depressed agriculturistsi - London

SEEN IN THE STORES.

Mauve and pink furniture is one of
the latest artistic fancies-mauve
wood, pink, satin, brocade and cur
tains shot with both colors and figured
with flowers.
Pretty nut bowls of wood, decorated
with burnt woodwork and resting on
three short supports, are not only de-
sirable but seem particularly adapted
to the use intended.
One of the prettiest plants for home
decoration shown by the florists is a
begonia with delicate pale pink blooms
that intermingle with the dark-green
leaves in way that delights theeye.
The newest side comb is the horse
shoe comb and comes in light and dark
tortoise she'll. Then there are combs
with rope-coiled tops and jeweled
evening combs that cost small for
tune.
Superstitions concerning the opal
have evidently died a natural death, If
one may judge from the many that
are shown. The demand for this lovely
stone is steady, and though the Hun
garian opals are the finest, many of
lesser value are used as settings for
brooches, rings, hatpins and stickpins
and are much sought.
1t is particularly noticeable in the
china shops that the old-fashioned
white china with gilt is becoming pop
ular. These sets are almost duplicates
of the old-fashioned "tea sets" of our
grandmothers' early days, and come in
the old-fashioned shapes, made of fine
clear ware. or course this ware Is
costly, and therefore the woman who
has retained as family heirloom her
grandmother's set is fortunate.

IN THE OLD WORLD.

The average size of farm in North
Italy is but Is acres; while in starving
Southern Italy farms vary from 10 to
$50 acres.
Italy's congress is composed of two
bodies, but in the lower house there
are sos members, chosen by the peo-
pie, while the senate does not consist
of a fixed number, varying from 200 to
500. The Italian senators are chosen
by the king and hold Office for life.
There is no pay for any of the nation al
legislators and all they get in recog-
milton of their Office is free transporta-
ton on the railroads.
Germany is the home OF toy manu-
featuring, and recent statistics show
that 41,ooo persons derive their living
from that employment. Sonneberg
produces half the toys made in Ger

through Waterhausen, Friedricksroda,
Ohrdruf, Hrnenan, Hilderghausen,

towns from the Black Forest to the
Palatinate and the Sudetic mountains

of heavy rains becomes considerable
of a morass.
To the inhabitants of the transhol-
low region the stepping stones across
have always been a source of trouble.
They were so necessary that their re-
moval has never been seriously con-
sidered, for without them any man
who attempted to walk through the
hollow in the mud would probably
stick fast till help came. Even with
them there enough of the inhabitants
fall off in the mud and have only the
stones to cling to for safety.
Charlie Armgard is town marshall of
Cape Girardeau. He has many a bit
of trouoIe with the settlers beyond
the stepping stones, and has often de-
bated with himself whether or not to
"run in" some of them who seemed to
have had drink too much. One night
he was escorting home one who pre-
tended he was sober. They reached
the stepping stones all right, but there
the assistee's troubles began. He
could go a couple of steps and then he
would miss, sway off and pitch into
the mire. Marshal Armgard's pa
thence was soon exhausted. After the
fourth or fifth attempt he hailed his
prisoner away to Jail.
That was how he got the idea. Now
when he has questionable prisoner
from beyond Coon Hollow he takes
him forthwith to the stepping stones,
stands him on the first block, and sits
down on the bank to watch him 60
home. II the suspect goes steadily
| across the line he is albright and can
stay on the other side. If he wavers
little and still keeps on the stones, he
is still all right. Buff he staggers and
plunges off, if he misjudges the dis
lance between his foot and the stones
and falls or trips-woe 70 him

Unique wedding In Kansas.

A business-like wedding was cele-
brated at Fort Scott, Kan, the other
day. The parties were aged, respec-
lively, II and Ga. Both are possessed
of valuable property, and the bride
is the owner of several farms. Before
the ceremony an agreement was
signed to the effect that each should
have control of the property belonging
to each. However, the good woman
got a little the better of the dicker-
ing. By the terms of the agreement
she is to have life interest in his
estate after death, but he is not given
the same right with respect to hers

PERSONAL MENTION.

James n. Lam, of Middletowr, N.

20 years of age and has been married
10 times. His first marriage occurred
at Milford, Pa, in 1880.

Gen. Shattuc, of Ohio, chairman of
the committee on immigration and la
Dor of the house of representatives,
has long been proud of his taste in fan
cy waisteoats, solitaire diamonds and
haring cravats, all of which adorn his
expansive front.
1t was particularly noticed at the re-
cent New England dinner in Philadel-
phis that the speech of Chinese Minis

Among the orators of the evening were
Justice Brewer. Mr.. Hamlin, Mr.. Hill

water I'm the Pool OF s,,oa,n.

For over ten years the Pool of
Sloan has been only name. Visitors
20 Palestine who have seen this his
toric spot of late years have found
that its healing waters have vanished.
Just recently the waters of Sloan
have been made to flow once again,
and there has been great rejoicing in
the Holy Land. 1t appears that Jeru-
salem has been especially short of wa
ter of late, and it occurred to some of
the inhabitants of Sloan to try to
find out whether the spring which
used to supply the pool was really
dry. Tons of accumulated rubbish
were cleared away, and after about q
months work the spring was found.
The excavators discovered behind
some fallen rocks an old aqueduct
running into the valley of the Chad
ron, and into this aqueduct the beauti-
ful, cool, clear water had run and been
wasting for years.-London Mail.

the guard rails on top of the box. Poor
Fritz closed his eyes and braced him
self for the shock, which he well knew
would soon come. The road was
straight ahead for two miles. In the
middle of the mountain farmers team
pulled to one side just in time to es-
cape disaster and to see the strange
outfit shoot by with the speed of the
Black Diamond express.
Near the foot of the mountain is a
sharp bend in the road. There the
sleigh left the track, shot directly
across the road, and collided with a
huge pile of railroad ties.
Some hours later a sleighing party
on its way home from a country dance
encountered the wreck. The bear was
jammed in between the sleigh and the
