FlTZGERALD'S LAW BREAKERS.

There are enough good people
in Fitzgerald to land every tough
and outlaw in the pen once they
become aroused, and it looks as
Fif they are about to become
aroused.-Fitzgerald Enterprise
There is 60 doubt in our mind
that there is some people in our
sister city just as good and honor
able as this country affords, but
the past records seem to show
that the better class of people,
have to great extent, been I'M
able to control the outlaws as
mentioned above.
Most every person who visits
Fitzgerald often knows that there
is gambling going on every night,
even Sunday night, in regular
gam bling dens, run and operated
for that sole purpose, and can
walk up the streets and point out
to you men who, it is publicly
known, are making their living,
and some of them supporting
their families in these hells.
The fact that ubstantiates our
statement that the 1awless have,
to an extent, been in control, is
that several times, to our own
knowledge men have been brought
before the grand jury in an effort
to indict them, but failed to get
a true bill, and it being publicly
known that some of them were
regular gamblers. They could
not find a sufficient number OF
people to swear against them.

a reliable source that a county

Yes, we say too, that there is
sufficentgood peoplein Fitzgerald
to put them all in "pinch" once
they become aroused, and give
the court and officers their sup.

aroused what will be the results

Like many other things in this
particular case public sentiment
is essential to success and we are
using our best efforts to shape
that sentim emit. It has been
difficult to get evidence. Arrest

charge to make) grand iuries
have bean fixed.
We would not be understood
to mean that majority of grand
jurors that have served this county
would refuse to find an indite-
ment on sufficient evidence but
one or two shrewd men on a jury
can to great extent control the
inflow of damaging proof and
otherwise influence jury in the
matter of indictment but, public
sentiment easily overcomes all
these obstacles and that is what
we are fighting for.

Box for Carrying Eggs.


Most poultrymen are familiar with

quantity of eggs to handle use these
carriers; the farmer, however, Is III

and often many of them become bro

illustration shows one Of the boxes
which may be made from cheap Mate
rial and which will answer as WEI. as
the boxes sold for the purpose. Any
grocer who handles quantities Of
shipped eggs will give n customer
some of the cardboard filler such as
are up in the crates; then buy some
cracker boxes and fashion neat box
like the one shown, cutting the paste
board filters with sharp knife so
that they will fit the wooden box.
Boxes made to hold one dozen eggs
and others to hold two dozen will be
large enough. These boxes ought to
have covers with hasp coming down
over staple so that the box may be
locked if need be. These boxes will
cost but little If made at home as sug-
gested, and if one has strictly fresh
eggs of good size as we'll as uniform in

No Breed of Black Sheen.

\ black sheep belongs to no particg.
lar breed, though at times lie appea4
III the fiocks of nearly all the pure
breeds. In England he is more COM
monty seen in the Suffolk tlocks, and
it is noteworthy fact that the suffolk
breeders have all they can do to keep
the blackish and gray-b!ack tendency
from asserting itself both in the skin
and fleece. Black sheep frequently
appear in pure-bred Leicester flocks,
and to some extent in Lincoln and
Devon I.ongwools, and the tendency
is noted in the black spots on the skin;
more frequently seen on the cars of
even the best-bred sheep of these long
wool families, thus terrifying the be-
lief expressed by DR.. Henry Stewart
that the tendency to black in the Lei
cester owes its origin to the black
ram known to have been used by
Blackwell in the perfection of the
breed $50 years ago. And it is not un-
reasonable to suppose that the black
sheep which now and then appear in
the Down and long-wool breeds, near
~ all of which have been more or less
improved through the use of Blackwell
blood, are traceable to that great

Wood Ashes for House plouts.

1t is not generally known that wood
ashes. mixed with compost, are very
beneficial for most pot plants. Palms
are wonderfully benefited. and so ,.,e
crotons, dracaenas. mnrantas. in fact,
all foliage plants. In many instances
when the plant has nearly exhausted
the soil. If the top be scraped off to
little depth, and sprinAling of wood
ashes and fresh soil be added, the.
plant will be all right until time to re-
pot. To many Il lover of flowers this
hint, to add little wood ashes to COM
post, will bring many frightened
flower and much improved foliage.
The mixture should be worked into
the earth Immediately or some of the
ammonia In the manure will escape
into the ir and be wasted.

Oyert1onc Gardening.

One Of the misfortunes of garden
lovers is that they frequently plan to
do more work than can be carried cn
successfully. Almost every one who
builds Il house thinks he woald like
TO have nice garden. and the nice
garden is consequently arranged. But
when 1t is found, as 1t too often is
found, that it requires an expensive
wages bill to keep the place In good
order, what was expected to be a
pleasure becomes an annoyance and
bore. A small place, well cared for;
and everything kept up nice and or
derby gives far more satisfaction
than an overgrown place that is a drag
OH the means of Its owner. In all our
operations we are too apt to think we
can do more than we really can. In
gardening matters it is especially 80.

The diseases which have been found
most troublesome and stubborn are
those occasioned by parasites. OF
these there are several different spe-
els.
Scab is caused by parasite, but it
is external rather than the most dan
eerous, which are internal. The latter
are: Stomach worms. lung worms,
intestinal worms, tape worYs and
.nodular worms. 49, a
For tape Worm oil Of male. ferr
seems to be the favorite remedy, a
teaspoonful being n dose. Two tea
spoonfuls of powdered areca nut is
also a good remedy. One teaspoonful
of turpentine given in milk is said to
be effectua. Most of these should be
given after fasting and followed with
n laxative.
The ,lntest remedy for stomach
worms and nodular worms is what is
known as the iron remedy. Give in
grain sulphate of iron (copperas,
sometimes called green vitriol and
must not be COMPOUNDED with blue Wit
riop, dose being ten ounces of the
drug to thirty-tlve lambs. Give daily
two weeks, then stop one week and
give again. Mix in water and apply
the water to the grain.
Gasoline is also considered good
remedy for stomach worms. Some
danger accompanies this remedy. MS
lambs often die after having been
given doses OF gasoline. A.dose con
sists of one tablespoonful in four
ounces of milk.
A solution of 1 per cent coal tar is
nlso II good worm remedy given in
doses of two to four ounces.

DAVID s. M'DoUGAL try to foreigners.
She simply would not permit any for
eign vessel to enter one of her ports.
In 1881 an American vessel picked
up a lot Of shipwrecked Japs, and IL
wis concluded that there was splen-
did opening for n friendly basis be-
tween that country and this. The
American vessel carried the ship
wrecked sailors to Japan, but we got
no thanks for the Kindness. On the
contrary, the Yankee ship was repell-
ell with violence. Finally, however,
through diplomacy couple of ports
were opened to lis and then other ma
tions secured like privileges. The
Japs, however, We're far from friendly
and were prone to look on all for.
eigntrs with suspicion. In 1868 the
American merchantmen Pembroke I'M
tlertook TO pass through the strait Of
Shimononoseki OH her way to one Of
the free ports. The powerful batteries
of the forts fired on her and she was
compelled to put to sea.
Naturally the United States was an
gered. Cruising about the waters of
the Orient in search of the Confederate
vessel Alabama was the United States
ship Wyoming under the command OF
Commander David Stockton AIcDou-
gal. who was afterward rear ad-
miral. McDougal was instructed to
teach the Japs lesson. Disgusting
his war vessel as merchantmen and
with the United States flag flying, he
entered the strait, ran past the forts
under fire, and attacked two square
rugged vessels and steamer which
We're lying close to the town. He
carried only six guns rs against forty
eight OH the Japanese ships and in
the forts, but he said: Eve will either
blow those ships out of the water or
sink ourselves"
There was hot fight but soon the
three japanese ships were at the bot
tom Of the sea. Then he opened fire
on the forts until they were silenced,
after which the Yankee commander
put to sea. He had destroyed three
vessels, damaged the forts and killed
Sot men, while his own loss was four
men killed and seven wounded. The
Wyoming had been hit ten times, but
was not seriously damaged.
But Uncle sam was not satisfied
with this lesson. The laps We're call.
ed on to pay an indemnity and the
following year paid $4,000. This
fund remained on deposit, invested in
United States securities. until in 1889
1t amounted to $1,77O,364. In that
year the survivors of the Wyoming
were paid handsome sums and the
balance-$7S5, 0O0-was returned to
Japan.
