Half Million Pounds So Far
This Season.

A. E.aart the enterprising and
hustling manager Of the firm of
Hart & Co., informs the Advance
that 80 far this season they have
bought over 500, ZOO pounds of wool,
paying an average of 22Hc per
pound for the same. They have
bought nearly 100000 pounds from
the farmers of Mobiles Co., for which
they have paid about $4,000.
About two weeks ago the market
took q heavy drop, but it has re-
covered somewhat and they are now
paying 22Hc. The farmers of this
county.ha had a big advantage
in having a good market right at
home, and their early selling saved
them thousands of dollars. Mr..
Hart expects to leave in a short
time for the west to buy big lots OF
Western wool.

Bumper Crop Assured.

The crop sharps of railroads> as
we'll as the government experts as
sure us that the crop of 1906 is prac-
tically safe from all damage and
that it will be a bumper one. Hay
is about all cut. The oats and bar
Icy harvest is well under way, and in
another three weeks the cutting of
wheat will begin in many places.
This leaves only corn for any con-
siderably time at tte mercy Of the
elements. The season has been
backward tpr this crop, but during
the past t1d weeks it has madewon-
derful progress, and with normal
weather from now on q good crop
will be harvested. The assurance
of a good crop this year has given
the farmers and business men new
courage, and everything will be
booming by the time threshing il
we'll under way.

Sea Serpent in Okabena Lake.

A number Of young men who had
been out fishing last Sunday report
ed seeing sea serpent in Okabena
lake. They were returning at dusk
when they observed something dis
turbing the water near the middle
of the lake. They at first supposed
it to be a large fish disportlng it.
self, but closer observation proved
it to be something out Of the ordi-
nary. They approached the mon
ster as close as they dared when
they found it to be large water
snake about 8 feet long. AS the fish
ermen approached the creature
lifted it's head out of the water
about 1s inches, gave them one look
then headed for the west end of the
lake and swan rapidly away, pres
entity sinking below the surface.
The young men were badly fright
ened and as soon as they recover
ed from their daze they pulled for
town with all their might. It was
some time after they reached shore
before they we're composd enough
to talk of their adventure. One OF
the party described the animal as
of snake-like appearance, about 8
feet long. 1t had very large head
for the size of the neck, a good deal
like that of catfish in that it had
horns and danglers. The mouth
was long and very large and was
fortified with a pair of long white
fangs. The body was greenish
black on the back, shading to
whitish blue on the under aide.

Jackson County Seat Fight

In the county seat fight which has
disturbed jackson county for some
months, jackson, the county scat,
has scored several points over its
rival, Lakefeld. Driven to desper-
alton residents Of the latter city
preferred charges against tho chair
man of the board, 81. G. Anderson,
and sought his removal. Gov.John-
son suspended him temporarily, but
the order of suspension was revoked
az soon he heard the other side of
the case. and Laketield finding it's
scheme blocked, dropped the pro-
ceedings against the official. The
Lakedeld boomers admit it simply
a dodge to get Anderson off the
board for a while, pending the
hearing on the new removal Pc
tition, which comes up next Mon
day. The county commissioners
have let the contract for the foun-
dation for a new court house at
Jackson, involving the expenditure
OF about SIC, 900.
The second removal petitionwhile
not 80 lengthy, is said to contain
more illegal signatures than the
first, which was rejected on, that
score. Jackson has put up a plucky
fight, and at present seems to be
master Of the situation. Much of the
credit for the victories gained be-
long to Attorney T. ]. Knox.
