The Ottoman troops, utterly sur

Batteries Are Silenced.
The batteries on the heights Of Bis
ami. the mainstay of the defense, had
been unable to st. d the peltiug OF

The Greeks pushed their forward
movement and occupied the Turkish
batteries on the Sakni and Elias hills,
capturing all the guns and 10 artil-

A w alton County
Story

I must say to its credit for size anu
population it is the most enlightened.
civilized. and cultivated county in the
state today.
In the latter part of 1891, weak,
enacIated man was helped from the
railroad train at Ponce de Leon, the
nearest railway station to his home.
He was completely broken down, and
a pitiful looking object, and was evt-
DENLY going home to die.
/ There stood the same cabin on the
edge of the swamp. 1t was late in the
fall and nature had painted the tree
tops brown, and red, and yellow. From
the hickory tree standing in the yard
and oVerhanging the house with its
big branches, would occasionally drop
a nut to the roof and go rafting down
over the dry boards to the ground be-
low, startling the sick man in the house
and causing him to move restlessly in
his sleep.
4 big log burned in the open fire
place of the single room of the cabin,
q white and black spotted cat dozed
cozily on a deer skin in front of the
fire, while the one window of the room
did not let in light enough to dissi-
pate the shadow that the growing oak
log threw upon the recently papered
wall. In one corner of the room stood
a rickety old pine bedstead, covered
with a straw mattress.
There was nothing about this place
to suggest the visitation of the modern
physician. No drugs or empty bot
ties suggestive of soothing lotions cal
culated to make the sick man die
easily and unconsciously. This man
was going to die face to face with
God, unstupified by the humanitarian
methods of this age.
Every now and then the sick man
moved restlessly, and feebly inquired:
rs he coming yet?"
Then that divinity Of womanhood,
whether she be the mother of a moon
sinner or the mother of prince, went
softly to the door and noiselessly lift
ing the latch looked out across the
little patch and down the winding
pathway to where it turned into the
swamp and disappeared. Directly q
large brindle dog, asleep on a little
porch in front of the house, ran out
across the patch and putting his fore
paws on the top rail of the low fence
looked away and barked.
He is coming now the wife
gently whispered, and the man feebly
raised his head and listened.
Turning to the minister as he en-
tered the house, the man remarked:
"Parson, since you was here last, and
told me about the goodness of God and
read from the book how Christ had
forgiven so many men like me. I feel
like 1 have got some show"
The shadows grew more feeble on
the wall, the dying man ceased to
speak. The moonshiner had reached
his end, and had gone to meet his
Ccd.

MANY SCHOOLS
WELL LOCATED
COUNTY HOLDS PRE-EMlNENT
POSITION IN MATTER OF MIND
CULTURE.

Besides its numerous, graded schools,
Walton county stands out pre- emf
nently relative to matters educational,
DeFuniak Springs, logically, being a
central point, from which the well
planned, well-organized system nat
urally radiates.
Palmer college, located here, IS
rapidly gaining fine reputation
throughout the south for the best and
most ideal opportunities afforded of
taking care or the boys and girls. Its
buildings are impressive of its growth
and its people are thoroughly wide
awake to the confidence which they
enjoy, and the responsibility which
rests with them.
The Walton County High school.
located at DeFuniak. the Freeport
High school, the Laurel. Hill High
school and the county Graded schools
are now the avenues open for general
public instruction, the West Florida
Normal Institute, of course, being a
branch made necessary by the desire of
a complete Walton county system.
Prof d. n. Trctman is county super
infendent Of schools. and to him great
credit belongs. He is a man inter
ested heart and soul in his work. and
Walton county cannot over-estimate
him.
The proposed Thomas Memorial In
dustriai school will be another step
toward the ultimate perfection OF Wal
ten county as an educational center.

THE MOONSF liner
BY Judge Chas III. Laney

Growing a bluff which rises de-
family above the high water mark of
the Choctawhatchee river, a coy lit
tie village sleeps quietly amid the
pines. Across the river to the west
ward about mile away can be seen
the white spire of a church lifting it's
cross of gold above the tree tops
These are the modern episodes of a
latter day civilization, and not of the
time of which / write.
In squads or singly the tattered ar
mics of Lee and Johnson came strug-
Cling home. Looking down the Choe-
tawhatchee from Halfmoon Bluff
(wheTe Caryville now is) for nearly
mile the river runs straight, and
then bends abruptly.
Around this bend one afternoon in
June, 1866, there came wheeling and
pulling up the river a little old war
time steam boat with a small paddle
wheel and big whistle. AS the boat
pulled up to the landing a young man
some thirty years Of age with his
arm in sling crossed the gang plank
and climbed the bluff on the west side
of the river He was one remnant
OF the army in gray standing solitary
and alone in new and undeveloped
country. He had gone to the army
from North Carolina ami when Lee
surrendered found himself cut off
from home by the intervention of Sher-
mans army. He naturally drifted
south and somehow either mysteriously
or providentially got into the Choctaw-
hatchee country.
Standing in a valley between two
hills, partly hidden from the public
road by towering pines which stood
like hefmeted monarchs Of the woods
aS 70 .-t,<~
cabin and a still. A piney woods
branch born somewhere on the water
shed OF the Cnoctawhatchee river
when the dew drops were first shaken
from the buttercups to form its source,
went gurgling along towards the sea.
The morning sunshine had just begun
to fall in spots Of gold upon the deep
green wire grass, when a woman
standing in the cabin door making a
trumpet of her hand called out loudly,
Revenues"
Immediately. gathering up his gun
and followed by his dog, the man on
duty at the still stole softly through
the swamp and was gone This was
several years after the stranger stepped
from the gang plank of the river
steam boat.
The forefathers of this man had made
whiskey in the mountains of North
Carolina from time imnemorial, and
he thought he had the right to follow
the same vocation in his new home in
Florida, SO he built a cabin and started
81 still just across the line in Walton
c. unity, between where the p, & A.
railroad now runs and Choctawhatchee
Bay, and commenced to convert the
sugar cane and skimmings of his neigh
bors into rum for sale.
Be it known that the making OF
