DISAPPOINTED WITH HIS CLAIM.

F. E. Nelson returned yesterday
noon from Montana, where he went to
file on his claim. He discovered that
after the government had made cer-
tain reservations from the good land,
that all those who had drawn num-
bers over 100 had spent their money
for nothing With a party OF ten
others he looked over what was left
after the first 100 men had selected
their farmsteads and the entire party
decided that they wanted none of it
in theirs. Hundreds of people who
flock to Montana for the land draw
ings, as well as those who flock to
South Dakota, are few hundred dol
lars shy in cash, but richer by far
in experience, as a result of their
Crookston Times.

WILL RAISE MORE
| STRAWBERRIES

H. C. Grim, one of the progressive
farmers of the town of Alma, has
been doing a little progressive farm
ing of his own. For the past three
years Mr.. Grim has been raising
strawberries and each year he has
increased the size of his bed until
last summer he had half acre patch,
from which he sold berries to the
amount of s1OO. He is so well salts
fed with his experiment and the
profitable returns that he will plant
six acres of vines this spring. In
view of the fact that much damage
has been done by the late heavy frost
in many of the fruit producing states,
Mr.. Grim expects to find ready sale
for his berries at good prices.-Argyle

BONNETS OFF TO THE
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN.
The American Farmer Is Now Selling
His Products at Unheard
of Prices.

IF the farmer is not enjoying a
hearty laugh right now it must be
because the long period of denial has
dulled his sense of humor. says the
Worlds Events. For something like
a generation the funny papers have
lampooned him and poked fun at his
language and dress. The vaudevil-
lians have done their worst; conf
dence men have sold him the Mason
ic Temple and Central Park, while
the whole nation snickered at his
discontinue But his time has come
to laugh and certainly he has earned
it. His produce is selling at prices
unheard of. His hens make the
golden-egged goose appear like a
mere pretender. The city folks who
once sneered at his manner of life
are selling all that they have and
moving West to start life again on
a few acres of high-priced land. And
the confidence men who are waiting
at those western stations will dc
things to the city folks that will ever
up for all the gold bricks that were
ever sold into the country. Our bon
net is off to the country gentleman
Of America. We hope his laughing
time may be extended until he shall
have squared with the world for al
the fun it has had at his expense.

George Kibbe Turner in describing

The city doctors at the police station

criminals who are friends or parasites
of these vicious women have left the

travelling between larger places like
Chicago and Kansas City, found the
red light district of the smaller city
a convenient hiding place, no longer
comes into Des Moines. There have
been practically no burglaries ol

This is not all due to the closing o.
the red light district, but, estimating
i the indirect effect upon the police
force as well as the direct influence
q very great share is traceable to it.

From papers found on the person of

DANGER OF THE HOUSE
FLY is EMPHASIZED

Emphasizing the danger of the
house fly, F. L. Washburn, state ento-
mologist, has issued circular sug-
gesting remedies as follows:
Screens on windows and doors,
sticky fly paper (preferable to pois-
oned fly paper), and doing away with
manure heaps, the covering of slops
and of filth, not leaving them to
pollute the neghborhood of the house.
Swil barrels should have tight covers.
Intestinal discharges from a patient
suffering from typhoid or any other
fever, or any infectious disease
should be sterilized before being
emptied into sewer or cesspool. Sta
bles should be, where possible, locat
ed at distance from the house.
another remedy is that OF fumi
cation. Pyrethrum placed in par
on hot stove and allowed to smolder
but not break into fame, will stupefy
if the room is tightly closed, all th'
| flies therein, which should be care
fully swept afterward and burned
otherwise some will revive. Pyre
thrum or Persian insect powder lose
its strength upon being kept, and i
buying one should be particular t
get fresh powder, or what has bee
kept in tightly sealed reoeptacies."

ENOCH GILES is 0. X.

Dear Sir:-AS a reader of your
literature for some time, [ must ad-
nit that it is the most instructive
that | have ever read, and as | have
in my possession a letter from Con-
gresham Chas. G. Edwards in which
he says he has voted against Cannon
every time vote has been taken, also
against the tariff bill Then I turn
to page nine of The JEFF, issue May
26, and I find that he is branded de-
serter, and though he has sent out
nice letters, that one word, deserter,
seals his doom with me. Now, will
you please give me your opinion Of
Mr.. Giles? We wish, down here in
old Screven, that we could fill all
public Offices and pulpits with Tom
WatsOns. Any way, you are doing
the greatest work that has ever been
done by man for the common people,
and may God give you life and health
to keep up this good work until we
no longer have deserters, but true
men who will stand as you do, for
home and honesty and falter not.
With best wishes, beg to remain
Respectfully,

Mr.. Giles refers to Hon. B. D.
Evans, of the Georgia Supreme
Court; also to Judge J. K. Hines;
also to the presiding Judge of his
circuit, Hon. H. G. Lewis. That
ought to be sufficient.
Judge Twiggs wrote me a private

HOW ABOUT THIS, MESSRS.
CHAMBERLAIN, JOHNSON.
DuBOSE COMPANY?

Dear Sir:-I wish you would
touch up" the new movement
among merchants to pay their clerks
on the commission basis. Last week
Chamberlain, Johnson, DuBose
Company announced that no more
salaries would be paid-a certain
per cent. on sales would be all their
employees need expect in the future;
Which meant a cut of at least one
half in their already meager sala-
ries. Twenty-seven of them walked
out,-the majority Of these facing
starvation.
Two weeks since, this firn for
babe it's clerks entering or leaving
by the front door. Instead, a door
on the Hunter street side of the
store was cut for their use.
People should boycott a firm
guilty of such acts.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-I will write
you few lines, as l don't see any
thing in your Jeffs from this part of

I think you are doing lots of good
with your jeff in the wiregrass coun-
try.
I want to ask you few questions
about the Holiness denomination.
We have a good old brother with us
that says he is living above sin. He
says it is impossible for him to sin;
that he is sanctifed.
I want you to tell me, through
your jeff, what you think about this
mans faith in Christ. Do you be-
lieve anybody can live without sin?
I think the people should help the
poor and needy at home before they
send their hard-earned money to
China. There are lots of people in
easy reach of us that would be glad
to get the money that is sent to
China. Yours truly,

that it is impossible for them to sin.

Comment.
In a misunderstanding of law
practice, I prosecuted less than half
a-dozen times Each Of those cases
was fagrant-involving malice, de-
liberation and preparation to COM
nit crime.
CD One of the cases was that of
a negro man, who poisoned another
negro.
CD Against seducers of white
girls, was ready to act, at any time.
One of these, whom [ helped to pun
ish to some extent, is a prominent
and wealthy banker of this State. He
hates me for taking sides with the
woman whom he ruined; and has
inspired some of the abuse which is
heaped upon me, in certain quarters.
CD Prosecuted to conviction and
execution a negro who, in Jefferson
County, had quarrel with white
man, and who, after the quarrel,
walked half-a-mile to get gun,
which he brought back with him to
the scene of the quarrel, and used in
numbering the white man.

convicted, a brute who tried to kill
his wife and who. when the terrified
woman took refuge in a neighbours
house, shot into it, with Winchester
rifle, and killed the good-hearted
owner. This gentleman had let the
fugitive wife come into his home out
of pity for her. His own wife and
children were in the house with him
at the time.
