DOG PRISONER IN JAIL
Held As Important Witness In Cobb
County Case

Atlanta JOurnal)
A mongrel dog is incarcerated in
the Cobb county Jail. The dog has
been guilty of no crime, but he can
not be released until his liberty is
granted by an order from the court
While the dog is guiltless in the
eyes of the law, perhaps on him may
rest the fate of a human life This
dirty white dog, marked with large
liver-colored spots, is being held as
witness and it is thought that he
will furnish some of the most i'm
portant testimony in the trial of Will
lard Webb, the negro who is now
confined in the Fulton county Jail fol
the attack on Mrs. Exa Brown al
Vining station, July 20
Under the Georgia law no recourse
to habeas corpus proceedings will
avail should anyone attempt to gel
the dog from custody. He is wit
ness and must remain in Jail until
wanted at the trial should there be
any danger of his running away. An6
there is grave danger of that, al
though he does not feel the disgrace
of being a jairl bird.
This dog, on whom may rest the
life or death of the negro man, be-
longs to Grace Davis, it is said q
negro woman who lives in Marietta
Grace works for Mr. Barber, OF that
town, and for months the dog has
followed her to and from work like
a shadow. On the day of the out
rage at Vining the dog did not APP
pear. Grace Davis is the friend OF
Willard Webb, the negro who is in
the Fulton county Jail charged with
the attack. These facts were placed
together and were seen to be signi-
ficant. Sheriff Mckinney last Sat
urday, after he had ascertained that
this dog had been seen following
Webb, took the dog to the home OF
Mrs. Brown and tied him to a stake
Mrs. Brown was not told of this, but
was sent by the place where the dog
was tied. AS soon as she saw the
dog she became intensely alarmed
and ran to the house, crying. Moth
er, there is that Negroes dog; maybe
he has broken Jail and has come tc
kill us ALL"
Afterward she positively identified
| the dog as the one whom was follow
ing her negro assailant on the morn.

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infiam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, il
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fatulency,
indigestion, and nervous proStration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free of
charge.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.

Fast succeeding dispatches an
nounced that Col. Roosevelt had shot
giraffes, rhinoceroses, buffalo, and
numerous robi, May q, told that in
the month Col. Roosevelt secured
eighty-six specimens" of game of
twenty-five varieties and that the
stuffed skins of eighty would be eX-
hibited in the National Museum in
Washington By that time the other
naturalists of the expedition had
collected about 1900 specimens of
mammals, birds and reptiles.
Two months have passed, and every
cablegram has told of the fine sport
Col. Roosevelt has been having. Even
monkeys contributed to it. A recent
cablegram reported that he wanted
hippos, and the despatch above indi-
Gates that he got them. Another re-
cent despatch says Col Roosevelt was
satisfied with game and was writing
and resting.

NEBRASKA PROSPERITY.
Balance of S9O,OOO,OOO From the Cam
collation. of Farm Mortgages.

Omaha Dispatch to New York Press.)
The people of Nebraska did not
mind the recent panic, for during the
year 1908 there were 1890 farm
mortgages paid off and cancelled, rep
resenting a value of $126,357 ,791, and
6,66S new farm mortgages were re-
corded, representing a value of $685.,
432,657, leaving a tidy balance of
about $9O,000,000 to the credit of pros
perity In 1907 there we're 17,451
mortgages recorded, representing a
value of about $34, 903,84S, and 1852,
representing a value of $26,88S,000,
cancelled
During the year 1908 the assessed
value of improved farm property in
the State was $145,O32, 900, an increase
from $129,366,225 in 1907, which was
very good for a panic year. During
the same time. the assessed value of
unimproved farm property increased
from $16,651 1859 in 1907 to $19,963,-
321.
The population of Nebraska is now
about 100000 and the assessed
wealth is $345, ,518, an average of
nearly 1857 per capita, men, women
and children. The area of the State
is about 50,0OO,OOO acres, of which 35,-
100000 can be cultivated but only
2,178,773 are now under the pillow.
During the past year Nebraska has
advanced from the fourth to the third
place in the list of corn producers,
having passed Missouri by 100000
bushels, and has advanced to the
fourth place among the wheat produc-
ing states.

1t is very difficult to tell accurately
how many beasts, birds and reptiles
have fallen before the rifles of Col
Roosevelt, his son Kermit and theil
party. They landed at Mombasa
British East Africa, April 20. and Col
Roosevelt got to shooting as soon as
he could
On April % he bagged his first
game, two wild beasts, and a gazelIe
Next day he had a fair days sport
and in twenty-four hours made eight
cen kills, mostly of small deer. On
April 80 he killed three lions. each
at the first shot, and Kermit killed
fourth, the biggest of all. Very
soon the -admiring natives named him
"Bwana Tumboo,' the Portly Master
and he kept on shooting. Thus on
May u. he killed a leopard and took
alive her two cubs.

Never again in the history OF Ar

We are not talking through our hat,

we insist on our above remark, as
sober truth. Did you ever see Sunny
Arkansas her prairies or the beauti-
full wooded land now offered so cheap.
If not, you have missed it badly. We
have in the past 3 years sold many
Ottumwa people Arkansas land and
they all made money on their invest
ments and land today in Arkansas Is
very, very cheap, and what's more, it
will produce just as much as Iowa
land, Illinois land. or any other old
land. We have farms in Arkansas for
sale at $40. $40, $40 and s35 per acre
which you would be "tickled to death"
up here to- buy at $50 to 500 per acre
and we can sell these to you down
there on easy terms too. Go down
with us next month on the 1st or 3rd
Tuesday. Your fare will not be mucn
and your time will be we'll spent.
Write us or call on us. We are always
glad to talk Arkansas and we are al
ways glad to see the men the second
time to whom we have sold Arkansas
land.
