The high water mark in the
price of Camas prairie farm land
was reached here Monday when
Alois Holthaus closed deal for
the purchase of the Andrew
Popp farm of 160 acres southeast
of town, together with all stock
and machinery, for $4,000. The
price quoted by Mr., Popp was
$l7, 900 for the place without the
personal property or 500, 900 as it
stood and Mr.. Holthaus decided
to take it all. At this figure the
land brought the fine price of
S106.25 per acre, which is the
highest price that has, to our
knowledge, ever been paid for
farm land in this county. Every
foot of the land is tillable and
the place is one of the most de-
sirable on the west side. While
the price paid may seem high it
is only a forerunner of what may
be expected here in land prices
within the next few years, for
there is no reason why Camas
prairie land should remain below
the $3.50 mark while farms in the
middle west that will not produce
as much are selling for twice
that figure.
Mr.. Popp has not decided defin-
itely what he will do but is con-
templating a trip later in the
year to South America to look
over lands in Argentina.

The railroad officials have made
a hard fight against adverse
weather conditions this winter

wisdom to purchase a small ro-

away with heavy expense and
future tie-ups of the line.

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS

Excessive ambition leads all sorts
of women to exert themselves beyond
their strength. The girl striving for
honors in school, the busy housewife,
the shop-girl, the society climber or
leader, all overtax their natural
powers of endurance Then come
nervous troubles, tackaches, head
aches, frequently organic troubles,
which reduce them almost to despair
Women suffering thus mould first
recognize the necessity Of putting on
the brakes and slowing down. Be
sides this, to remedy the mischief
already done to their health, the best
reliance is upon that famous and
standard medicine for women's all
ments, Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.-adv.

ONE KILLED IN
NEGRO SHOOTING
NEAR MILTON
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

- A~OA<AA@ ~ 4 he JOGhNALs
Milton, July ga shooting occur
ed at Elliott's still on the Coldwater,
a few miles out from Milton, Sunday
afternoon, that resulted in the death
OF one negro and the escape of an
other. The difficulty was between
Richard Cain and Will Walker.
From the information at hand it
seems that the trouble arose over
Walkers wife, who had been separat-
ed from her husband for seveS&l
months and had left the camp at the
still. She returned last week and
Walker accused Cain of writing to her
and inducing her to come back. Cain
denied this and started to walk off
when Walker followed him with a
drawn pistol and challenged him to
join hands and shoot the difference
out.
Cain is reported to have said that
ne did not want any trouble and con-
tinued to walk off Walker, however,
followed him, and after overtaking
him is said to have tried to grab the
gun that Cain had away from him.
One shot was fired into Walkers left
hand, going through from front to
back. Another shot took effect in
his breast, ranging downward; this
shot resulted in his death. Both men
fired at the same time, Walkers shot
shot going wild.
Cain made his escape into the
swamp, but will doubtless be captur-
ed in few days and given a prelimi-
nary heAring. The sheriff held an ex-
animation of some of the negroes
who were present, but the testimony
of all of them seems to indicate that
Cain was forced to shoot in self de-
tense.

found in the houses and many ar
rests were effected. After the occu-
pants of a negro house were locked
up the deputies again visited the scene
and found the house lighted up as if
a festival was going on. Entering,
they discovered a negro Gully" calm
ly resting himself, and possibly await
ing the return of his female meal
ticket" as one deputy put it. He was
promptly arrested and will answer a
charge of vagrancy this morning, or
as soon as his name can be reached.
This negro attempted to prove that
he had money "and sho am no va
grant," This did not deter the Off
GERS from taking him to the county
Jail, however.
$50 Were Arrested.
A total of $50 women were arrest
ed, this including both white and
black. Probably eighty made bond
for their appearance at 10 o'clock this
morning in the court of record.

Infantry soon is to be ordered home are
flying fast and furious in camp today.
The recalling of orders for the regiment
to hike to Leon Springs to engage in
rifle practice and maneuvers has
strengthened the theory that it's stay at
this place is not to last much longer.
The recalling of the orders has
brought joy to the camp regardless of
their. import. Few Of the men or OFF,

made one trip there and feeling exists
that little will be accomplished II a
second trip is made.
The regiment was camped at the
springs from December 4 to December
21 and while there every one completed
the prescribed course on the ranges.
While the regiment was there bitter
cold weather prevailed most of the time
and the men suffered greatly. They
were deprived OF many of the COM
forts which they have in their perma-
nent camp here. The food fell below
the usual standard. the company cooks
being forced to cook over open fires.

LAUDS PRESIDENTS NOTE.

PARIS, January 20.-By vote of 437
to 81 the chamber of deputies support
ed the government in it's refusal to re-
ply to an Interpolation presented by
Adrien Pressemane and thirty-four
other extreme socialist deputies as to
why the government replied to Presi-
dent Wilson'S note.
Premier BRAND took the opportunity
to speak in the most cordial terms of
President Wilson's motives and of the
attitude of Americans. The premier
said:
when the French government, at
the same time the allied govern
ments, received Germany's peace note,
which was without precise terms or
substance. it made known it's opinion
and. in agreement with it's allies re-
piled as the note deserved to be re-
piled to.
Almost at the same time the allied
governments received a note emanating
from the United States. inspired by the
noblest and highest sentiments Die
tated by generous feelings. it came
from one of the great nations which,
since the beginning of the war. has
given us proofs of sympathy. and caused
us to make a suitable reply
