A certain large-featured, flrm-jawed

with his wife.
After the hostess had seen to It that
her guests were all well enough fed
that they wouldn't have any kick COM

the hostess twittered on pleasantly.
Il wonder which of you are the best

The flrm-jawed man had been
watching these moves with patient
resignation.

In casually. at this juncture, "but !

"Wh-a-a-t! You don't play bridget"
exclaimed hostess and the rest of the
guests In unison-just as they might

Nope" repeated the firm-jawed
man. Il never learned the game"
ooh, well, but we can soon teach

The big black Mustang delivery
horse of Messrs. Ward & johnson,
which some months ago distinguish
ed himself for fieetness of foot by
outrunning an automobile from DaW-

utation as a sprinter.
Saturday night the horse started
on another wild run. He hung the
delivery wagon to a stump, kicked off
the harness and struck pace that
would put the fastest racer to shame.
The animal was tracked to Kincha-
foonee creek, where trace was lost,
and nothing has since been heard of
him.s
The owners do not know whether
he is browsing around the wilds OF
Kinchafoonee or has struck the ma
tional highway for a trip to New

HAD BOIL WEEV|L SCARE
A FIELD OF COTTON BARE OF
FRUIT CAUSED MUCH ALARM.
State Bug Man Notified and an Ex-

State Bug Man Notified and an Ex-
pert Came Hurrying Down and
Made Inspection Sunday.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Charley G.
Jones, one of the good farmers of the
Twelfth district, brought to the city
several large and flourishing looking
stalks of cotton that were more than
waist high and utterly devoid of
fruit.
Numberless places were found on
the stalks, which Mr.. Jones said were
an average in size and condition of
thirty-acre field, where young forms,
or squares, had died and fallen off,
and the boil weevil was naturally
suggested to the minds of Mr.. Jones
and others who saw the cotton.
A letter was mailed to the state
entomologist Friday night and Mr..
W. r. Reed, an expert in the entomo-
logical department, arrived in Daw-
son on the early Central train Sun
day morning to inspect the cotton.
He was driven to Mr.. Jones farm,
and after a thorough examination
stated that no evidence of the pres
ence of the boil weevil could be
found, and that the shedding of the
tender forms from the cotton stalks
was not due to any kind of an in
sect. While Mr.. Reed made no pos
tive statement as to what he attrib
uted the condition of the cotton he
said there were several things that
could have caused it, such as blowing
too deep or when the ground was too
wet, diseased seed or something in
the soil.
A number of gentlemen saw the
thirty-acre field of fruitless cotton on
Mr. Jones farm Sunday morning,
and all agreed that the prospects now
are that it will not make more than
three bales-or one bale to ten acres.
None of Mr.. Jones other cotton is
seriously affected, but Messrs. Samps
McGill and e. L. Anderson, whose
farms adjoin Mr.. Jones, have some
cotton that is in as bad condition and
promises to be an almost complete
failure.

The postoffice receipts at Dawson
for the fiscal year ending June Goth
