LEY PASSED AWAY AFTER
LONG ILLNESS.

Chipley, Dec. 26.-Hon. Thos. Y
Watts, ex-United States deputy mar
shall, surrounded by his family and
friends, passed quietly away Sunday
morning at O'Clock. Mr. Watts had
been in failing health for several
months, and his death has been ex,
pected for some time.
While a mere boy, Mr.. Watts enlist

dissipation of ball or opera. Instead
of haphazard fishing by placing pots
in the open sea to be visited in storm

MURDER MOST
REMARKABLE
Special to The Journal.

Sydney, n. S. W.. Dec. 26.-News
has just reached here from New
Hebrides of the remarkable manner
in which the murdered Anglican mis-
sionary, the Rev. c. c. Golden met
his death.
Mr. Golden was stationed at Aoba
Island. The murderer had served
several years imprisonment in irons
in Queensland on charge of attempt
ed murder and resented his treatment
so much that he vowed that he would
murder the first white man that he
met on returning to his own country.
The outrage took place at the eX-
IRENE northern end Of Aoba where
Mr.. Golden had travelled to visit his
assassin.
The murderer engaged in converse
ton with the missionary but as Mr.,
Golden was leaving the hut stealthily
crept up behind him and pointing a
rifle close to his body the weapon was
discharged. The bullet shattered the
missionarys thigh and in a crippled
condition he made frantic attempt
to escape.
Following his victim the enraged
native made q desperate rush at Mr.
Golden finally killing him by means
of the tomahf wk.
a native attached to the mission ar
rived on the scene at that moment
and carried the body of the mission
airy to his own hut He then gave in
formation which led to the arrest OF
the murderer. -

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.

The American Buffalo.

The buffalo is the bulkiest living land
animal native to North America. a
full grown buffalo bull stands about
FIVE feet eight or ten inches at the
shoulder and weighs about 1,SO0
pounds. But specimens of over six
feet at the withers have been recorded,
and Mr.. Iornaday tells me that he
weighed a living bull at 2,190 pounds.
A full grown COW stands about four
feet eight at the shoulders and. accord
ing to Audubon, weighs about 1000
pounds, though Henry says seldom over
700 or 800 pounds. The lower weight
seems to be nearer the average run.
but I have seen cows that stood as
high and looked as heavy as ordinary
bulls. = Ernest Thompson Seton In

ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOM.
Porehes as Wedding Certificates ON
the Island of Jersey.

the Island of jersey.
Among JerSeymen proper-thas is TO
say. among the descendants of the orig
final inhabitants of the island and not
the English or French residents there
q very curious and interesting old mar
rage custom exists.
Upon the completion Of the ceremony
and, if in strict accordance with tradi-
ton, before the happy couple take up
residence in their new abode the stone
slab at the top of the porch containing
the front door is inscribed with the in.
itials of the bridegroom, those Of the
bride, the date of the ceremony and
two hearts intwined. the latter being
an emblem of their intermingled love
and the whole forming a most lasting
and public certificate of marriage.
Occasionally, however, a little diff
Guilty arises. The bride may meet with
an early death. and in the course of
time the widower may desire to re,
enter the holy state Of matrimony.
Having fulfilled his desire, it appears
rather puzzling to know what to dc
about the inscription.
In some cases, therefore, the initials
and date of the first wedding have
been erased and those of the subse
quent ceremony substituted, while in
others the initials Of the second wife
and the date have been added below
the first. second pair of intwined
hearts being thought unnecessary. The
letters are usually from six to nine
inches in height. SO that they may b.
easily read across the road.-Londor

IkSe Prcserver seats.

Some pleasure steamers on the Eng
lish coast employ very good idea In
connection with few of their deck
chairs. They are really air tight
boxes to which a back and sides have
been added. They stand back to back
in the middle Of the deck and are kept
together by means of piece Of wood
across the top. When this is removed
the seats can be opened on hinges. II
the vessel got wrecked the seats could
be opened and flung overheard. and
they would form 4 buoyant raft for
passengers to cling to.-London Mail.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In schnapps that Satisfies tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is flue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to Shopper pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

 When Lutz and Sicchi were driven into their cage at the conclusion of Miss Heliot's act there ensued an argu- ment that was conducted in spitfire on the part of the young mother and good natured growls from the two lions.
 Fritz Haupt. one of Miss Heliot's 5 attendants, was attracted by the com motion and called the lion tanner, who had just bowed to the applauding au- dience. She ran to the cage, and i'm mediately q swarm of players crowded round. They were all audibly wonder Ing what should be done when Miss Heliot exclaimed, Let me get in there.'
 When she entered the cage a bag was passed through the bars, and with the crowd looking on she slipped mother, kittens and bed of straw skillfully and tenderly into the bag and brought them out of the lions cage.
