Train Robbery Near Texarkana.

The Pacific Express car attached
to a Cotton Belt train, was robbed
near Texarkana, and Express Mes
senger w. A. Grissip was thrown from
the car after being beaten into insen-
sibiilty and probably fatally injured.
All the money in the safe was taken,
but the amount cannot be ascertained,
as the robbers took the waybills and
other records. This is the same train
that was partially derailed few days
before within two miles Of the place
where the robbery occurred, the
wreck being caused by a broken lock
of a switch, thought to be the work
of a malicious person.

Mr.. Editor Just at this time.
the farmers through Georgia are
busy, very busy, planting and
preparing to plant their crops.
We cannot say that the cotton
acreage has been materially in
creased, although the tremen-
dously heavy sales of fertilizers
point to that conclusion. We
find that farmers are fertilizing
more heavily than ever before ;
that is, they are using greater
number of pounds per acre, some
using as much as four and five
tons and some even more than
that to the plow. Besides, lab
or is too scarce for them to take
chances on getting an unusually
large crop cultivated and we d
not think the increase in acreage
is at all proportionate with the
increase in the sales of fertilizers.
All Georgia is sympathizing
greatly with the people of San
Francisco in their trouble; in
having in their midst, perhaps
the greatest calamity that has
ever befallen an American CITY
