A New County Wanted.

From Mou1trie Observer.
The committee appointed to
map out the territory for the new
county to be composed of parts of
Berrien, Colquitt, Brooks and
Lowndcs, has definitely decided
on the proposed eastern boundary
line, following pretty closely the
run of New river through Berrien
from the southern boundary OF
Tiff to the northern line of the
Massee district, then running west
to the western line of said district
then south and east, following the
district line back to New river,
leaving the Massee district in Ber-
rien.
It is proposed to drop about
five tiers of lots into Towndes, tax
ing in the Hahira district, and to
take a very small portion of tie
northeast corner Of Brooks.
Beginning with the Warrior
district of Colquitt, near the Tiff
county line it is proposed to run
the western line of the new county
ncrth and south taking in coed
slice of the eastern part of Colquitt
bordering on litiTe river.
This is the general plan, as out
lined, and Of course, is susceptible
to several changes before an active
campaign is begun.

BY FRANCIS MARIAN.

The Browns lived on the banks OF the
Missouri River. The family consisted OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown and their son and
daughter. Jack and Marie. respectively.
One April day Mrs. Brown was called TO
see a sister who was very III in town
some 20 miles distant. AS Mr. Brown
had some business TO attend 20 In the
same town he decided 10 accompany her.
Thus Jack and Marie were left 10 keep
house and look after the farm In general.
There was nm old woman making her
home with them who helped with tho
light household tasks, but she was too
aged to superintend things In general
when the master and mistress were nb-
sent, so this duty fell upon Jack and
Marie Jointly.
Those who know anything about the
Missouri River will not be surprised
when I tell them that for some weeks
past this mighty and turbulent stream
had been changing its bed This was
nothing uncommon. but the fact that the
waters were slowly and surely coming
nearer and nearer to the Browns house
and barns gave the family reason for
uneasiness, for formerly the river had
made its move towards the opposite
banks. Indeed, when MIR. Brown had
built his big roomy farmhouse overlook
ing the river he felt secure In the locn-
ton, for the banks were high and the
river curved outward, encircling the prom.
ontory-like point on which the house
stood But the late rains ana melting
Of the SHOWS further north added to the
danger that now threatened. However,
Mr.. Brown, nor the farmers living along
the river did not feel immediate danger.
