 The Advertiser has a new building with modern equipment but by some slip in the plans of the management. a pet was not provided. It was Editor T. J. Car lisle of The Weekly Enterprise of En- terprise of the Wiregrass who furnished the deficiency.
 His gophership, red as the leaves of au- tumn, arrived yesterday. cased in box | that apparently contained something good to eat. It was immediately bagged | by the denizens of the business office, who quickly brought Pete to light. | Its a new-fangled snuff-box.'

 The remark was ignored by the gopher
 The entrance of Pete into the city rooms. was greeted with cheers from tn, assembled reporters. who had heen read ing of turtle soup in railroad menu.

 A noIice officer entered the house soon .ster stmonton was stabbed and arrested z r-haney Simonton and her daughter.
 srhe two women were taken to police E hAsduuarters where they made state ,usnts. Chaney said her husband returned vesterday from Unioutown where ne hao near, living and asked her to sign deed conveying some property ne o"heu III Trniontowu. She refused and they quar- reled. Last night the dispute was renewed and linn. who had gone to bed, became angry and said he would finish the af' fair then and there.

 This story was corroborated by Cha ney,s daughter. who saw the fight.
 rrhe women were lodged in the county fail to await their preliminary hearing which will be had Monday before Mayor Mcleod.
 The story told by Chaney Simonton ant her daughter is doubted by many. It Il suspected that Big Jim found rival il his home when he returned home las night and that he was killed by this man 1t is said that Chaney has had stead. conpany for some time. The character o the wounds also encourages the belle that they could not have been inhicte by a woman but were inflicted by ma who used larger weapon than the on described by Chaney. There is, however no clue to the identity of this man. Biz Jim Simonton was among the bes

 It is said that the galley boy worked eight hours on this gem.
 The gopher was duly appreciative as he ate the poem as soon as it was pre- sented.
 The honors of the city room were too much for the modest mind of Pete and at an early hour this morning he wad- dled into the telegraph room where he is keeping the Associated Press operator company and is making great progress In telegraphy and flute playing.
