gentry of the neighborhood were all
O'Briens or O'TooleS and they wouldn't
look at one another for a litter of pigs
and the old SOW thrown in. \ great
grief it was to the good old man, as he
often told me.
Three OF my sisters came to drive me

they all talked at once about the Fa-
theirs legacy, and how he was spreading
it over the parish like butter on bread.
ilc had built seventeen cottages and
forty lighthouses, and drained the marsh,
and given a suit of clothes to every poor
person in the village, and put a clock
in the church. He wanted to set up an
institute with tea gardens and museum
for the gentry. 1t was himself that had
the grand notions but the OBriens and
the OTooles wouldn't agree to use the
same building unless they had it weeks
in turn. And what's the good OF an
institute where you meet no men but
your own" my sisters asked.

passed a sweet, pretty maid walking by
the side of the road. I'd have taken her
for an angel if she hadn't been wanting
wings. Big blue eyes she had like 4

red mouth like rose, and just touched

The price Of a special train varies a
little according 20 circumstances The
usual figure is $2.5o per mile. At that
rate two ordinary cars-day coaches

number that will adequately balance the
train when it is flying at high speed. The

cook is generally carried in addition
to the porter, and the car is stocked with
sufficient provisions to last until the end

1t is astonishing how quickly one of
these special trains may be made ready
at any of the large terminals or impor-

in less than thirty minutes. Under or

is so limited and comes with 50 little

we're INJURED
ACCIDENT WAS SERIOUS one
10 People We're Thrown
From Car

Nineteen peasure-seekers, princi-
pally ladies' and children, who went
out from Americas Sunday afternoon
for trip over the Andersonyille road,
We're thrown promiscuously into a
ditch when their car, large freight
truck, was struck from the rear by
lighter machine and turned almost
entirely over.
The impact was so great that the
heavy truck was stood upon its for
ward end, while the passengers ano
chairs were thrown out by the way
side, one young lady having been
thrown over fence into the adj
joining field.
Both cars were coming towards
Americas when the accident occurred
at point nine miles from town.
Among the more painfully injured
were Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Mathis, Miss
Mathews, Mrs. Charles Smith, Mrs. J.
NJ. Ivey. Mr.. Iyey, who was also in
the party aboard the truck, escaped
injury None of the passengers were
seriously hurt, though nearly all re-
ceived painful bruises necessitating
the calling in of physicians.
The truck carrying the pleasure
party, and driven by MIR, James Owens
was returning from Andersonville. AT
rather narrow point a car driven by
Mr.. Jordan and occupied by three 9th
err men, attempted to pass. The rear
wheel of the light car struck a front
wheel of the heavy truck, causing IL
to turn almost entirely over.
The party aboard the light car came
to the rescue and assisted in bringing
the injured members of the truck par
ty to the city. The accident created
considerable excitement at the time,
and it was fortunate that the resulting
casualties were not more serious

MOST PROFITABLE DAIRY FEEDS
J. w. Hart, Professor of Dairy
Husbandry.

Inquiry-What is the most economi-

in Georgia?
Feeding tests conducted at the
Georgia State Colltge of Agriculture
for period of ninety three days, av-
erage weight of COWS 800 pounds,
showed that COWS fed at the rate of
six pounds of -cotton seed meal. thirty
three pounds of corn silage and two
and one half pounds of corn slower,
produced milk at an average cost of
six cents per gallon, leaving a wider
margin of profits than other food
tests. One group of cattle fed five
pounds of cotton seed meal, thirty-one
pounds of corn silage, five pounds of
dried beet pulp, two and quarter
pounls corn slower, resulted in pro
ducing about pound more of milk
per day than the first mentioned, but
the cost per gallon was nearly nine
cents per gallon as against produc'
ing cost of six cents in the first in

less profitable than the first mention
