He could see the look of displeas-

troops, who we're making themselves
as comfortable as possible in the
grounds.
When Squire Granger came for
ward with assured cordiality, to greet
the Officer In whose care his precious
estate was to be intrusted. he receiv-
ed shock at discovering his iden-
tity.
What! You here?" he demanded,
frowning, and casting quick glance
after his daughter who had Just pass
ed into the house.
John. knowing he had the best Of 1t.
kept his temper well in hand. and
managed to explain the matter satis-
factorily, saying little Of the recent
adventure.
The house was on knoll, and from

hon Of Atlanta could be had.
What they saw was sight to
arouse the enthusiasm Of one, and
appall the other. Federal troops
were marching into the Gate City in
solid files. Music thrilled the air. the
strange harmony Of piercing hfes and
rolling drums.

lodges overlooking the village. How
many OF these Mr.. Dresser has slain
he does not know himself. but they

Dresser rattlesnake hunting Is an en-

more of II than the ordinary farmer
does of going out to hunt woodchucks.
At this season OF the year the
snakes usually seek the rocks to com

Rattlesnake mountain at Farley is
remarkably adapted to the comfort OF
its serpentine Inhabitants, having
countless riffs and crevices in the
rock. extending far into the interior.
These lodges have southern expos

warmth and shelter that they are look
ing for. So well fortified are the rep
tiles. and so plentiful In number. that
they have maintained their strong
hold In spite of efforts to eradicate
them. For years the town has paid n
bounty of one dollar apiece for dead
rattlers. This course was adopted
after they had become so numerous
that their appearance in the village
streets was a common occurrence.

EVERYTHING TO WEAR"
SCHOOLS ALL
OPEN MONDAY

Notwithstanding the conditions ex-
listing, the public schools of the city
will open Monday morning, and Su,
perintendent Cook is in hopes that
there will be good attendance. The
fact that the schools are to open is
encouraging and shows that every
thing is settling down to normal con,
ditionS.
Yesterday afternoon the superinten
dent was busy in his Office with teach
ers, who are to open schools Monday
Many were given certificates and in
structions, and everything was in
readiness last night for the com,
mencement of the school year.
There are sixteen public schools in
the city, eight white and eight col
cred. Some Of the buildings have
been damaged 10 some extent three
OF them being unroofed, and some OF
the rooms at No. 1 are so damaged
that it will be impossible to use them
for a few days.
Notwithstanding this, however, the
schools will be opened, and while the
attendance will possibly not be as
large as it would under other circum
stances, it is expected that there will
be a good attendance.

WIND EXCEEDED
100 M|LESPER
HOUR
Highest Point Was Reached
alta 3:14 a. m, Sep
ternber q.

According to official records at the
United States weather bureau, the wind,
during last weeks hurricane, reached a
velocity of 100 miles per hour, this veloci-
ty being recorded for one minute at 3:14
a. m. on September 81 There is abso-
lutely no question but that many gusts
exceeded this figure, but were not re-
corded by the thermometer on top of the
custom house, the only possible way of
recording such blasts being by means of
a wind pressure gauge, such as is used
at the headquarters of the bureau in
Washington.
In this connection a comparison of the
extreme velocities during storms of the
recent past will prove of interest. Fol-
lowing is a list of the principal storms of
the past six years and the extreme veloc-
ity of wind attained in each:
August 10. 1900, 40 miles from Sc.
August 10, 1901, 20 miles from S. w.
February q, 1902, 50 miles from S. ".
September %, 1906, 100 miles from S. E.
In recording one mile of wind the cups
of the standard thermometer make SOC
revolutions. In recording gale blowing
100 miles per hour, If it continued for g
full hour $4,000 revolutions within that
time would be necessary.

She struggled against the mountain.

the hawser finally snapped and the
barge went adrift.
The tug has since that time been

dress her hair in a becoming fashion
without regard to the latest mode,
which will certainly change and make
the picture look old fashioned, while a

HERE AND THERE

Missouri made a fine showing witt
cotton growing last season, and there
seems to be a disposition to extend Its
area northward. Insect depredators
we're not wanting, but 1t is claimed
there were no such losses as where the
boil weevil reigns.
My experience with cotton is to keep
1t clean, let nothing grow in the field
but cotton; then you can count on a
crop, remarks a Georgia planter. ..
Cotton warehouses are coming. Their
coming will be greatly fastened by
planting cotton acres to corn, to fruits,
alfalfa and vegetables, says Farm and
Ranch BY the side of the cotton ware
house will spring up the cannery, the
creamery. the local meat packery aud
the cotton mill.
When a field is very weedy the best
method Of planting corn so that cult
walton will keep weeds down, accord
ing to the Kentucky experiment sta
ton, is to plant in checks and plow
both ways.
Honey Is always ready seller, and
the price per pound averages anywhere
from - TO 20 cents, depending upon
the locality and quality.
Light sandy land Is usually the very
soil that requires potash for cotton"

Of its solidity Of form and It's strong

tends to the acquisition by the progeny

Of the breed, so that a half bred is very

1t is most commonly used by the

lambs and market sheep.
This breed used to have a dark face,
but of late this popularity has been
lost to a considerable degree. The il
lustration shows a model Shropshire
of the modern type, in which only the
dark face has been lost, but the dark
legs remain to some extent.
