P0ST0FfICE & RAILROAD
New Schedule on n. q P. and Re.
distric ting Of Carrier Service.

The adoption OF a new train schedule

livery and collection of mail.

train will leave for MaricoDa at 7:30

arrive here in the morning at G:l5, q
little earlier than under the present
schedule. The mail far the south will
beginning Fsiday right, close AT $50
in the evening, though the carriers
who collect it Will have to report back
at the postof1ice at GO SO letters
that hour unless patrons want TO
bring them to the postoffice This
collections coming so late in the eve
nirg the s o'clock collection that is
made now will be discontinued and the

Fe depot which is emptied by the rail-
way postal clerk Just before he leaves

will be two deliveries of mail in the
forenoon ard one ir the afternoon.
The first forenoon delivery will be
mainly the mail from the nc:th and the
second the mail from the south.
In the suburbs the delivery will be
practically as it is now, one morning

AN OLD MAN MISSING
"Tin" Johnson for Whom a Two
Days Search Has Been Made.

There is 4 good deal of anxiety con-
cerning the Whereabouts Cf Tin
johnson. one Of the oldest residents of
the county. He is called Tin" john
son for the reason that some years
ago he discovered in the Cave Creek
country deposit which he believed to
be tin and many ether people believed
that tin had at last been found in
commercial quantities in the United
States. 1t turned out. however. to be
something else. Cntil recently John
son has not been in this part of the
country but has been travelling i'll
many parts of the world.
Not long ago he applied to the board
of supervisors fer permission. to enter
the county hospital. Though they all
knew him they knew nothing of his
financial condition and the permit was
issued He had not been there very
long until one day when the institution
was visited by the board Johnson told
Chairman Norris that he had ranch
of 100 acres in the Buckeye country and
he commissioned him to find a buyer
for it. He also said that his son was
running a store at Buckeye. Mr. Nor
a ranch at Buckeye. That disqualified
him for a residence at the poor farm
and Mn. Norris sent word to his son
that he could not remain there unless
the county was raid for hs board and
lodging. The son came in great sur
prise. That was the first that he knew
that his father was in the hospital
He said he CID not want him to be
there; that he was able to take care
of him himself and would be glad to
Go so.
The old man left the hospital a day
or two ago and went to bee ranch
which is on the county hospital
grounds. On Sunday night he left the
ranch and went in the direction of the
river. The hospital authorities hearing
on Morday that he had gone away
alone began a search for him but could
learn Eothing of him.
a report OF his absence was sent to
the office Of the sheriff yesterday and
Deputy Widmer who had been out
hunting witnesses the day before said
that he had seen an old man lying
asleep along a ditch two miles south
east of town on Monday afternoon
Since his attention had been directed
TO Johnson he believed that he was the
man for he knew him very well.

HIS BRAIN BRANDED
4 HallcCinatiOn Of a nan Sent To the
Asylum Yesterday.

Joseph r. LCokett was examined in
probate court yesterday en- a charge
of insanity and WAS committed TO the
asylum. He is one 9. the Lcckett
brothers. big sheep owners i'll the
Northern part of the territory who ior
several years have been wintering
their sheep in the valley. ]. r. Lockett
has been mentally unbalanced fer some
time ard had been an inn5ate of the
asylum but was discharged.
His ailment returned not long ago
and one of the brothers took him to
Yellowstone park and through the
east with the hope that the effect
of moving about would be sanitary.
He returned in rather worse condition
than when he started. His insanity is
manifest in various ways. One of the
signs OF it is a tendency to reduce
everything in sight to kindling wood.
He has a hallucination that people are
trying to rob him. He has another
Illusion and that is that his brain is
branded with the letters u. r. He
also believes that any article upon
which these letters appear belongs TO
him. When his brother was bringing
him back to this country he passed
insane brother saw a man carrying
suit case on which the initials prob
ably of the owner had been stamped.
He thought the letters We're j. r.
and rushing upon the stranger he took
the case away from him.
I.ockett is an old soldier and took
part in the battle cf Shion Of Which he
talks a great deal. He wears 4 grand
broke out in admiration of 4 flag which
was hanging in the probate court yes
terGay morning and Tor a time he for
got his illusions.
His profanity is of such character
thai he kept the court room filled with
Il sort of Il blue haze. Before he be-
came insane he was Il man Of religious
tendencies and was revcr known to
swear. But that Is something the pro-
bate court is used to. Whenever o
patient is given to insarity it is Il
pretty sure thing that he did not swear
when ne was sane.
1t was one thing to commit Lockett
to the asylum and another to get him
there peaceably. 1t was necessary to
deceive him in order to avoid a scene.
In the course OF the examination he
talked OF his pension. so month
which he has been drawing since the
first pensions began to be paid. He
wanted it decreased to $50 Il month.
When the examination was ended he
was tcld that il he would get into a
cab with certain ether gentlemen who
were pointed out to him they would
take him to a place where his pension
would be raised. He left the court
room not only Willingly but eagerly.

enjoyment Of the sweet peace that is
upon US.
But more important thing than
wars or rumors Of war confront the
people Of the South today. Our own
native born o,'e, both white and
black and both male aud female, seem
to have craze to avoid rural pursuits.
The demand for labor on public works
and the high wages paid is having the
effect OF causing our farm labor to
lose it's head. If our native-born
people will leave the farms, then VIC
must invite people from distance.
Too much land is being turned out to
sedge and briars. To stop this We
must have people at distance who
have felt the sting Of copgestcd cen
ters and learned tho wisdom Of stick
ing to agriculture, know and be i'm
pressed with the opportunity that is
hero in Georgia. We have the best
country in the world if people only
knew it. Those who shiver in the
cold billiards of the North ought to
know that they could miss ali this
freezing by coming South, and those
who sink from the intense heat Of the
Northern summer ought to know that
we have no such heat in Georgia.
never knew sunstrokein the confines
OF Georgia territory. 1t is distress
ingly cold at tho North in winter and
distressingly and dangerously hot in
summer. We have no such menace
here, and l want strangers to under
stand it. Not such as would como to
our towns and in where it is already
an overcrowd, but farmers, field hands,
people with sense, to know that farm
ing offers the greatest opportunity that
is before us today, and the sweetest
peace and respectability.
When you come South on prospec.
tive tours-we address this to strang-
ers at distancc-don't stop in end
around the towns. Go out into the
country among tho country folks
themselves. Happen here sometimes
when our associations are meeting at
the icountry Churches, and Sunday.
Schools are joyfulin the groves around
the springs, or camp meetings are in
blast, and then you may see the peo.
pie just as they are. Some strangers
have an idea that this is a land for
chilis and fever and other malarial
drawbacks, come and look upon the
blooming health chat you will find
pictured in the faces Of the assembled
Grow Dc aud ell such thought will pass
forever. Some, only few think, are
foolish enough to have q sort Of no.
tion that Georgia is sort Of kuklux
land when Il comes to dealing with
strangers from o distance. If you
will come you will soon dismiss any
such notion as that and decide that,
taking everything together, tho South
is tho most favored land on earth and
offers the greatest opportunity for
those sao will come to work the fields
don rome if you mean to crowd
the towns. unless yon will crowd cut
our own native born and crowd sense
enough into their heads to know that
they ought to stick to the farm, boys,
stick to4thofarm. This is my advice.
