parts this intelligence. Gen. Foster
writes that he is obliged to forego the
pleasure Of attending the shoot and
meeting the Savannah marksmen, and
those from other states because of
urgent military duties in his own state
which require his immediate attention.
Col. P. P. Carlton, inspector general
of Small Arms Florida State Troops,
will accompany the team. Col. Carl
ton was until lately sergeant in the
Fernandina Volunteers, and is one of
the best shots in the state Of Florida.
he was for some time a member of
the victorious Sea Grit team of the
District of Columbia. The team from
the Jacksonville Rifles which shot in
the interstate shoot last year was COM
posed of Corpl. Ross, Sergt Hull, Pri-
yate Donohue, Private Potter and
Lieut.. Yerkes. Members of Wilson's
battery may also attend the shoot.

Contrary to expectation, few teams
remained over from the state shoot.

other commands from the southwest

VINO will compete in the Individual
matches and in the sweepstakes and
buIPs-eye shooting.
The Yacht Club, the Hussars' Club
and the Tomochichi Club will be open

Ties at the range will not be such as
10 occupy their whole time, and while
matches other than the ones in which
they participate are being shot, they

their friends at the clubs. These insti-
tutlons proved pleasure-makers last
year during the interstate shoot, and
1t is probable that they will stand as
highly in favor this time.

TO GET RID OF FLIES
NEAR GARBAGE DUMP.

People who travel on the Isle of Hope
Railway have been wondering why
gang of convicts has been working
steadily for week, apparently widen
ing the railroads right-of-way through
the county's land near the turnout to
the garbage dumping ground. Trees
have been cut down for a hundred feet
on either side of the track, and the I'M
dergrowth has been cleared away
The purpose of the work Is sanitary:
the trees and underground are a nest
ing and terminating place for the
swarms of flies that the garbage dump
has colonized in the neighborhood, and
from which those pests fly into pass
ing cars. to the annoyance of passen-
gers The remedy seems to have re-
moved the nuisance, as but few flies
are now seen in the cars

forced at HustIing suburb.
The Calvin vagrancy law will be en-
forced at Thunderbolt and the large

will have to either go to work, move
on, or be punished for a misdemeanor.
The authorities at the busting little
suburb intend to get rid of the worth
less ana shlftless negroes that infest
some sections of the place, and the
Calvin law will be used to bring about
this result. There are a great many
unemployed negroes at Thunderbolt

sum. 1t is expected that a large
number of arrests for vagrancy will
be made this week at the suburb.

Hidden Money Aocideutly Pound.

The estate of William Webb of Al
media proves to be one hundred and
twenty dollars richer than supposed
owing to a singular discovery which
was made on Saturday last.
Webb, who died about two weeks
ago, was well known all along the
Pennsylvania canal. For many years
he was captain of steam canal boat
which regularly piled between Nanti-
coke and points South. His odd look
ing barge is we'll remembered here, as
it appeared laboriously making its way
through town.
During an administrator sale on
the premises of the deceased, Saturday,
a couple Of men in looking over some
articles in the cellar came across a
small store box, which they proceeded
TO examine. 1t contained lot of rags,
which on being removed revealed one
hundred dollars in gold and twenty
dollars in bills. The money was turn
ed over to the administrator, but no
one undertakes to explain why the
money was placed in the store box, as
Webb was good business man and as
such made regular use of the banks.
