HE GOT THE TICKET.
A Simple Little Errand That Made a
Let Of Commotion.

A Simple Little Errand That Made a
Let Of Commotion.
One of the most amusing accidents
imaginable happened to an old gentle
man in one Of our large eastern cities.
He was asked to buy a ticket to fire
mans ball and good naturedly com
piled. The next question was what TO
do with it. He had two servants,
either of whom would be glad to use
it, but he did not wish to show favor
itism.
Then it occurred to him that he might
buy another ticket and give both his
servants a pleasure. Not knowing
where the tickets were sold. he in
quired of a policeman, and the officer
suggested that he so to the engine
house. So the old gentleman went to
the engine house that evening, but
there was no one in sight. He had nev-
er been in such a place before and
stood for moment or so uncertain
how to make his presence known.
Presently he saw an electric button
on the side of the room, and he put his
thumb on it,
The effect was electrical in every sense
of the word. Through the ceiling,
down the stairs and from every other
direction firemen came running and
falling. the horses rushed out of their
stalls, and, in short, all the machinery
Of modern engine house was instant
ly in notion
Amid all this uproar stood the limo
cent old gentleman, who did not sus
pect that he had touched the fire alarm
until the men clamored around him fol
information as to the locality of the
fire.
Then be said mildly, 81 should like tt
buy another ticket for the ball. if yoJ
please"
The situation was so ludicrous thu
there was a general shout of laughter
and the old gentleman bought hi
ticket, and the engine house resumeU
its former state of Exchange.

A SURPRISED SWoRDSMAN.
Judge Goffe's Play With a Dragging
Fencing Master.

A fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected a stage on which he
strutted up and down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage in sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
cCme insufferable Judge William Goffe
and Edward Whaliey, the famous Eng
lish political refugees, disguised them.
Eelves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. Goffe held
In one hand a cheese wrapped in
napkin, which he used for a shield.
md carried a mop which he had soak
ed in muddy water as he passed a pud-
lle.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his grOltnd.
Then the gladiator made a pass at him
with his sword to drive him off. The
judge received the sword in his cheese
and held it there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the judge
pOking the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed up huge broadswOrd. ThereupOn
the judge said:
''Stop. sir! Hitherto. you see. have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to dO'yOu harm, but if you come at
me now with the brOadswOrd know
that l will certainly take your lifer'
The master was impressed by the
firmness with which the judge spoke,
for he dropped the point of his weapon
and exclaimed: "WhO can you be? You
must be either COTE, Whalley or the
deviii. for there was no other man in
England that could beat me"'-Boston

Even while the railroads are show
ing such fearful losses in earnings,
there is discernible a strong note of
returning confidence in business. This
was one of the factors in the steady
advance of the stock market in the
latter part of July, resulting in the
highest price seen since the panic
of last October for many important
securities. The great steel industry
is reported in better shape, with the
United States Steel Corporation ope-
rating at from 55 to 60 per cent. of
its capacity, and prices of cotton
goods have regained some of their
loss. But concrete evidence, in the
way of higher prices for commodities,
of returning prosperity is less in evil
dence than general hopeful feeling
that the country is in the process of
righting itself from the bad upset of
last fall, and that steadier weather is
Immediately ahead. To this feeling
the very satisfactory crop conditions
have largely contributed. Cotton has
had excellent weather through July,
and will be in good shape to with
stand any untoward weather that may
come in August and September.
The large acreage of corn is in very
fair condition. The Kansas wheat
crop is being threshed, and the
spring wheat of the Dakotas was
rescued in the middle of July by
copious rains from the drought thai
was threatening it. To the NORTH
the new wheat lands of Canada
promise to give an excellent accoun
of themselves in the harvest of 1908

The Delaware militia made a good
impression at Rehoboth during their
recent encampment. Probably much
of this was due to the fact that
Governor Lea was present throughout
the encampment and took a decided
interest in the boys. Governor Lea
has made a very popular Governor
and his clean administration of
affairs has made a number wish that
ne might be elected for another term.
There is a movement to renominate
him at the coming state Republican
Convention but whether this is
accomplished or not, Governor Lea
will go down in history as one of the
best and most popular Governors the
state has ever had.

Reports come to our office of the
disgraceful and inhumane method of
shooting dogs on our streets under
the perpetual dog ordinance pro-
mulgated by our Town Council. On
lower Main Street a case is told of
a little girl who was almost prostra-
ted with nervousness after dog had
been shot in front of her by the town
officer. This is one of the number
of nerveracking and nauseating cases
that are brought to notice. How
much better it would be if our Town
Council would adopt the inmpoundine
or some other more humane system
of exterminating dogs running al
large without a muzzle. All gooC
people want to see every Safeguard
placed around the public with regart

present law as promulgated is crue
and disgraceful and the sooner it i
stopped the better.

was held in high esteem among neigh
bors and friends.
For sixteen years he was county
commissioner of Schley and perform
ed other public trusts as well.
His wife, who was Miss Mary Ste
Wart, of Schley, died a few years
since while the family resided in

COUNTERFEIT $40
BILLS AFLOAT
Local Bankers Have Not
Found Any of Them.

Counterfeit ten dollar bills are in
circulation in Georgia So far none
of them Rave been discovered by To-
cal banks, though Macon banks have
found a few offered for deposit.
The bills which have been counter
feited are known as Buffalo" bills,
because they have a big buffalo on
them. In some instances the worth
less bills were frayed as if in long
use, SO tt at it is not known whether
they are being circulated by crooks,
or have been placed in circulation in
Northern cities and are just reaching
this section.
A warning against these spurious
bills have been sent out by the
Government to the banks. The fol-
lowing is the official description of
the counterfeit:
Series 1901-A-274. J. w. Lyons,

ed upward cast. Shading back of por-
trait has no cross lines. Period be-
tween Washington and D. c. instead

These bills have a big buffalo and a

galaxy of minstrel singers who ap-
pear in court dress of embroidered
blue silk, white silken waistcoats with
fobs, tight fitting knee. breeches with
frills and buckles, white silk hose,
and low cut jewel buckled shoes. The
effect of this splendid apparel is
heightened by long curIed white wigs
of the Louis Seize period, and patches
on cheek and chin which the seven
teenth century dandy SO dudishly af-
fected. TIE white face singers wear
this garb exclusively, the "black face"
comedians appearing in coats, trous

SEASON OF HUNTING IS
COMING TO A CLOSE
Hunters Are Fast Depicting
the Birds.

Amerfcus gunners are aware of the
fact that the season of quail shooting
is rapidly drawing to a close, and will
make the best of the three weeks re-
naming. Thousands of partridges
and doves have been killed during the
season in south Georgia, and the
wholesale slaughter of doves in bait
ed fields continues, several shoots
being arranged for this week on farms
near Americus. At the present rate
Of determination partridges and doves
will soon be killed off entirely A few
years ago these birds were plentiful
in the territory around Americus, but
thousands have been killed every year
and they are now so scarce that the
fear is generally expressed by the
sportsmen that unless steps are taken
to put curb on the zeal of hunters a
practical extinction of the favorite
game birds of Georgia will soon re-
suit so far as this section is concern
