An Exciting Race

An exciting race between a Shet-
land pony and three dogs, which oc-
Cured at noon yesterday on Virginia
avenue, had only one witness besides
Joe Addison, owner and rider of the
pony. The race started at the south
end of Goldstein street, when only
two dogs were running against the
pony. These were Joe's bull dog
"Fizz" and Harry Dreggors' splendid
collie Tom" AS they went tearing
by DR.. McQueen's residence on the
corner of Taylor street, the doctors
pointer Doc" joined in the race.
They went like John Gilpin to the ice
factory, then turned and came flying
back to the starting point, the total
distance being half a mile. The pony
easily out-distanced the bull dog, but
the other two kept up with him. On
the Fart of the dogs, ii was clearly
a test of speed, and is was singular
that the dogs did not try to run
ahead of the pony. They lust
wanted to show that pony that
they could run as fast as he could.
Dogs are natural speed fiends. That's
why they like to ride in automobiles
and chase railroad trains.

AN INDUSTRY OF GREAT
PROMISE FOR FLORIDA
Concluded from lst page)

grapefruit cannery VIII be known as
'Sealdsweet' and will be labeled in
such way as to leave no doubt in
the mind of those who may see the
packages that it is Florida product
While one of the objects of the can
merry is to save to growers the losses
now due to drops, off sizes, off col
ors, etc, nothing but second fruit will
be used for canning purposes.
The canning of grapefruit hearts
was first tried in Porto Rico and the
product has been an unqualified sue
cess. The interest in the product is
growing and there are many inquir-
les from the trade of this country re-
garding the Florida article. There
are wonderful possibilities for the
future of this industry for if it will
take all the sound culIs and cheaper
grades of grapefruit off the northern
markets and will save for Florida
more millions of dollars than it can
ever hope to make through its opera

boom days that rival those OF west
ern oil town. Among these was Col.
Raphael ]. Moses, of Columbus, Ca,
who at one time was secretary of the
st. Joseph & lola railroad. After a
vain attempt to rent a house he was
compelled to have one built n
Charleston, n. c., and shipped TO st.
Joseph, carpenters wages were so
high the repairs on the house in the
course of only three or four years
cost several thousands of dollars. st.
Joseph was noted for its four fine
hotels and inns, some of these pos
sessing names such as Byron House,
Shakespeare House, Tontine, Mansion
House, and Railroad cottage.
The construction of steam railways
from the interior of southeast states
to the Atlantic Seaboard, making
communication for this territory to
the Atlantic Coast more rapid, re-
suited in the downfall OF st. Joseph.
In 1871 the properties of the st.
Joseph G. lola railroad were sold for
Indebtedness and the iron taken up
and sent to Monroe, Ga, to be used
in railroads there. In 1871 the pop
ulation of St Joseph had dwindled
considerably An epidemic of fever
broke out, and the city was aban-
doned. For number of years its
remained standing, some of
them being taken to AEalachicola on
barges. During the war between the
states the buildings were further de-
and during the period of
so years that has elapsed since st. !
Joseph thrived, practically every rel
ic of its existence has disappeared. |

Saint Joe History Corrected

Some OF the newspapers are pub
fishing the alleged history of the
dead town OF Saint Joseph, located
on bay near Apalachicola, in which
history it is stated that the death of
the town was caused by the building
of trans-GeOrgia railroads to the
ChattahoOchee and Apalachicola riv-
ers, which took away from the town
its chief, if not its sole support, viz:
the thousands of bales of cotton that
came down those rivers and carried
them to Savannah. This is not true.
Saint Joe was dead and practically
buried long before any railroad from
the Atlantic seaboard reached those
rivers. Two things killed the town:
the extra cost of transferring cotton
by rail from Apalachicola to Saint
Joe, and an epidemic of yellow fever
that decimated the people. Those
who survived the epidemic abandon
ed their homes and left the town for
good. This was some time in the
'40's. and the first railroad to cross
Georgia and reach the Chattahoo-
chee river was the present south
western branch of the Central of
Georgia, which reached the Chatta-
hoochee at Eufaula in 1860. The
building of these railroads came near
killing Apalachicola, but they had
nothing whatever TO do with the
death of Saint Joe.

but parallel TO the axis of the parent
branch. This will give a larger
wound but it will heal without a
stub. Paint the larger cuts with
some moIsture-proof covering so that
disease cannot enter and so that
evaporation from the wound during
the healing process will be prevented.
Pruning will go long way toward
preventing the various diseases. The
grower may not think that he has
time to do the work now, but when
the diseases appear he will wish he
had taken the time.

Thefts At Pipestone
Melted Few Dollars
Several Places In That City En-
tered During Past Few Days;
Small Change Taken.

Pipestone, April 15.-Robberies
that netted the perpetrators
few dollars have been pulled on
during the last few days in this city.
Two UPTOWN business concerns
were broken into Sunday night.
From Ralph Nason's pool hall two
expensive sets of billiard balls were
stolen, besides three or four dollars
in change, some cigars and a few
other articles.
Jerry Hines new clothing store,
next door to the Mason pool hall,
also was entered and four pairs of
shoes and four suits of clothing
taken. Monday evening, some
clothing and shoes were found in
the coal box on the Episcopal
church properly. There were two
pairs OF shoes, two pairs of pants
and coat which proved to be a
part of the loot taken from the
Hines store. With these articles
was an old coat, evidently discarded
by one of the robbers. No clue has
been found for tracing these store
breakers.
Tuesday night the public library
was broken into, through a base

te that a search was made through
the building, and it is thought the

Public Is to Decide
Comeback of Fatty
Views of Movie House Managers
In Mankato Are Expressed
Through Free Press

Whether moving picture films fea-
turing Fatty Arbuekle are to be
shown in Mankato, will be left to
the general public to decide. This
was the decision or the managers
of Mankato theatres, who were in
terviewed on the subject by the
Free Press today.
W. A. Sandon stated to The Free
Press that it is through the Para :
mount Motion Picture company that
his pictures have been shown, and
this is the company which Mr.. San
don has under contract for the re-
lease of their pictures. The direc-
tors of the company are now con-
sidering this question, as to whe-
Their they will release Arbuckle's pic
lures or not Mr.. Sandon states
that if they do and the people want
them, that the Sandon theater will
show the pictures.
Paul Hoerr, manager Of the Grand
and Lyric theatres, stated that at
present the companies whose pic
lures are being shown at the Grand
and Lyric theaters have not had Ar
buckles pictures, but if the time
should come for one of his releases
it will be left to the residents of the
city to decide. II there would be
any objection, the pictures would
not be shown, but if the public ask
ed for certain pictures which either
theater might procure, then they
would be shown.
