COTTON STALK EIGHT FEET HIGH.
A Jones County Farmer Produces Her
culean Cotton.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A stalk of cotton over eight feet
high. This product of Jones county
farm was exhibited Yesterday on the
streets of Macon. The cotton is owned
by Mr.. j. w. Bradley, who cultivate
it.
Mr.. Bradley stated that he had go
acres of cotton over eight feet high,
and that he will get bale from each
acre. The rows are six feet wide and
a three foot drill was used. He has
raised Is l-2 bales TO the mule. In ad-
dition to this Mr.. Bradley has any
quantity of fine corn, hay, hogs, and
other products. There are 400 acres
under cultivation.
Mr.. Bradley fertilizes his land with
home made fertilizers, and sees to 1t
that the fields are properly cul-
tivated. He is proud of the record he
has made this year, and is of the Opin-
ion that few farmers can make SO good
a showing.
The mammoth stalk attracted much
attention Yesterday, when exhibited
by the owner. This is probably the
tallest stalk of cotton ever seen in this
city. 1t had number of bolls, large
and full. Mr.. Bradley stated
that man could hide anywhere in the
entire field of sixty acres, while
mounted on mules back. The stalk
lowered away above the tallest mans
head, while the base of 1t rested on
the ground. # resembled a young
sapling.

GIVE US AN OPERA HOUSE.

fully magnifcent-public school build

WHY LAW is CHEAPENED.

The supreme court of Missouri has
thrown out a murder case because
the indictment charged the defendant
with shooting his victim with a pistol,
when, as a matter of fact, says the su-
preme court, the victim was not shot
with, a pistol, but with bullet from the
aforesaid pistol.
Now, truly, there's pretty develop
ment for your consideration. How
superlatively, inexpresslbly, unspeak-
ably, indisputably, wOndrouslv, me-
teorically, aurora borealistically brill
liant is this discovery on the part of
the august legal iuminaries composing
the supreme legal tribunal of the state
of Missouri How the hearts OF oil
true and loyal Missourians must pal
pitate with profoundest pride which
rises up in their Threats and choke
them with its uncomfortable intensity
that their commonwealth may claim "a
Its own these mortals, beside whom in
comparison Webster, and Calhoun,
and Clay and Choate would drop with
dull, resounding thud into the impene
trAble darkness of iLsigni6cance; nor
would Sherlock Holmes in his most
wonderful moments of ineXplicable
genius compare with them in point OF
almost super human perspicuity.
The case of murderer, his hands
dyed red with the blood OF fellow
being, thrown unceremoniously from
the court dockets because, fOrsooth,
the bullet, not the revolver from which
it. sped on its mission of destruction
did the fatal work.
Such as this is what causes law tC
lose it's intended and rIghtful majesty
and supremacy. and become cheap as
dirt in the eyes of man.
Miss DEATH was recently operated
upon in Philadelphia for appendicitis
by DR.. Dye, her day nurse being Miss
Payne and her night nurse Miss Grone.
Strange to say she survived and re-
turned sound and whole to the house

The News is unacquainted with the
young lady, it undertakes to say that
it. is glad Miss Death did not
have to Dye, and regrets that she was
even compelled to Grone with Payne.
FROM motives ofrevenge, t'rick is TO
