REV. DEAN HAS DISAPPEARED
PROMINENT BAPTIST MINISTER
MISSING FOR SOME TINE.
Went To Convention in Oklahoma and
Never Came Back. Is Wen
Known in Dawson.

An EIberton dispatch says that
friends and relatives OF Rev. sam Z.
Dean, pastor of the First Baptist
church in that city, who has held
pastorates at Gainesville, Americas
and other Georgia cities, are anx-
iously seeking to find some 1nforma-
tion of the ministers whereabouts
His bride of fifteen months is pros
trated over his disappearance. His
friends fear he is i'll or the victim
of some accident. The last heard
of Mr.. Dean was when he was at
Kansas City, after attending the
Southern Baptist Convention at Ok
lahoma City, where he represented
the Elberton church.
Two letters were received from
him there. One was to his wife and
the other was addressed to the board
of deacons of the Elberton church.
The latter letter contained Mr..
Deans resignation, which he claim
ed he was compelled to tender, as
he was on the verge of nervous
breakdown. He said in this letter
that he thought he would go further
west and recuperate.
The letter received by Mrs. Dean
from her husband said that Mr.. Dean
was quite i'll, and that he had sent
his resignation to the deacons of
his church. He said in the letter
that he feared he would not be able
to work again for six or eight
months.
Instead of accepting the resigna-
ton the deacons of the church have
begun a systematic effort to locate
Mr.. Dean. They say that no action
will be taken until Mr.. Dean can be
located or every effort shall have
been exhausted.
Rev. Dean has visited Dawson and
preached at the Baptist church here
on several occasions, and is we'll
known to many of our people.

HE is POOLING THE HENS.
A Western Farmers Queer Scheme
Which Works Successfully.

A Western Farmers Queer Scheme
Which Works Successfully.
Owners of hens are frequently
greatly annoyed by the persistent de-
sire of their fowls to set, in season
and out, on eggs, stones or other OBJ
jects to hand, but a western man has
evolved a plan to circumvent the hen
in this respect
The cure consists of a cheap
watch, with a loud and clear tic
inclosed in a case that is white and
shaped like an egg. When one of
the hens belonging to this westerner
manifests a desire to set out of sea-
son he gently places the bogus egg
under her sheltering breast. The
egg" ticks cheerfully away, and
soon the hen begins to evince signs
of uneasiness and stirs the noisy egg
around with her bill, thinking, no
doubt, that it is already time for it
to hatch. She becomes more and
more uneasy as the noise continues,
and soon jumps off the nest to run
about a while to cool off. Soon, how
ever, she returns to the self-imposed
task. Matters get worse and worse +;
she wiggles about and cackles, ruff
fes her feathers and generally shows
distress. Finally, with wild
squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all, and the incubating fe-
yer is broken completely.
The westerner has found use for
half dozen of these noisy eggs
and he claims that they pay fo1
themselves again and again during
the year by holding hens to their
business of laying and preventing
them from wasting the golden
hours in useless incubating.
