EATEN BY AN ALLIGATOR.
Was Probably the Horrible Fate OF an
Island Grove Girl

The Macon tGa) Telegraph Of July
22nd contained the following account
Of the finding of a gold watch in the
stomach Of a Florida alligator. which
is supposed to have been owned by an
Aiachua county girl. The article says:
Forsyth. Monroe county, was thrown
into unusual excitement Thursday
morning when the news was circulated
that a valuable gold watch had been
found on the inside Of an alligator
that died early that morning in a large
pond near the city. The gator was
brought TO this city about two years
ago by J. II. Jackson. Jr., from Island
Grove, Alachua county, Fla, and was
put in the pond near here. Mr.. Jack
son believes that the finding OF the
watch in the inside Of the reptile clears
up the mystery of the disappearance OF
"a young girl about Il years of age
from the home Of her parents at Island
he came to Forsyth. She was mfssing
from her home one night and could be
located nowhere. When last seen the
girl was standing on the bank Of the
lake where he captured the alligator
already referred to, and that al the
time she was wearing a gold watch
with her initials engraved on the back
of the case. The same initials are on
the back of the watch discovered on
the inside Of the dead gator THURSDAY
morning"

CERTAINLY

We are just as certain that the
northern end of our city is to move
forward as she has done as that We
are writing of this part. There are
some standing in our way just now
but they will not long stand in the
way.
We have been Informed by a relia-
BILE man that the ice factory is to go
up, no difference what the croakers
say to the contrary. We have it re-
peated that a certain man is only a
promoter We can not and do not
believe it.
We hear a great many opinions, but
we know that there is something just
ahead.
If our ability was as good as our
foresight now is We could soon be in
the swim, too. But we have to stay in
our place.
The swim is coming fast. We can
see it. Can you not see it coming, too?
Ye who have money? Think for your
self. Do not take to others too much.
Learn to master the situation.
We are writing our conviction on
this subject. We are convinced be-
cause we are living where the monied
men have their eyes, and are ready to
make it good for what it is worth.
Yes, certainly the time is not far
distant when this part of the city will
be the manufacturing part. consequent
ly it will be the money producer. 1t is
our duty to call your attention to this
fact, all We who have money to use for
the benefit of others
Men have their eyes upon this end
and are slowly, too slow. vending their
way here. We need a cold storage, a
cannery, a tannery and many others.
But they will come. Certainly.
Well WiSher.

received great benefit from it."
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the WORKOUT ner-
vous system and relieves the effects OF
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege-
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time

themselves in many different ways.

vessels have a top speed of about
twenty-one knots and they cannot be
operated in water that is less than
thirtysix feet deep The British ad-
Tniralty, it is reported, has designed an

equivalent of about forty-four land

DECRAFF MUSTB[ DREARY
Awful Goodness of Town in Ohio.
Nobody Arrested in Over Two
Years

Degraff. Ohio. July 25.-Indiana may
have the center of population but Ohio
possesses the center of virtue. 1t is
none other than this village of Degraff
in the center of the strictly dry re-
sion, which boasts 1900 inhabitants
and the fact that there has not been an
arrest within its borders in the last
two years
The peace and good order have been
contagious and the stranger within the
gates has also conducted himself de-
corously.
Owing to the unparalleled goodness
of the inhabitants the jobs of the may
or and the marshall are in jeopardy.
The citizens of Degraff are not only
virtuous but they are saving and see
no reason why they should pay a
marshal and a mayor who have not
sat in judgment of a criminal in two
years.
The mayor and the marshal have
made common cause and declare that
it is their show of authority which
keeps the citizens in the paths of rec
titude.
The picture of a carnival Of crime
drawn by the two officials is having its
effect and they may be retained in Of
fee.
