JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June %
Robert Shackelford, forty-seVen,
chief field officer under former Sher'
if Robert E. Merritt, and one of
Governor Hardee's chief investi-
gators, was shot and killed here
Sunday afternoon at his home in,
Lakeside Park. Mrs. Daisy Naught,

police to have admitted shooting
Shackelford, claiming self-defense.
The woman is said to have stated
that she shot ~Shackelford when he
reached for a pistol to shoot her.
They had quarreled previously, it
was said.
Shac<elford is credited with hav-
ing large part in breaking UP the
activities of confidence men in Flori'
da. In 1922 he was detailed to in
vestigate the activities of confidence
men who had reaped large harvest
in the state. AS the result of his &C
tivities about fifty men were arrest
ed and some convictions obtained.
Shackelford and Mrs. Vaught met
about eight years ago, friends, after
her husband is declared to have de-
serted her. Mrs. Shackelford, who
resides in Lake City, said she did
not know Mrs. Naught.

Tobacco Growers
Of Berrien County
Expect Good Returns

MOULTRIE, Ga. June 26.-Ber-
rien county tobacco growers are
curing their crop. which. according
to estimates, will be in excess of two
and a half million pounds. Twenty
five hundred acres were given to the
crop this season, and although it
has been damaged to some extent by
too much rain, the growers feel that
they will make substantial profit If
the market should open at the
figures expected.
The selling season will not begin
until August l. Nashville, the
county seat of Berrien, claims to be
one Of the biggest tobacco markets
IN the state and expects to handle
more tobacco this season than any
other point in Georgia. Cook county
farmers have about 400 acres in to,
Dbacco, and Lanier also has a large
acreage, and it is expected that the
crop of those two counties also will!
be sold at Nashville. There are two
Immense tobacco warehouses in the
Berrien> county capital and some of
the largest buyers of tobacco in the
country will have representatives in
Nashville during the selling season.
Berrien has been growing tobacco
for several years. and while there
are some large tobacco farms in the
county, most of the $500 acres given
TO the crop this season was planted
In tracts of three to ten acres. Ac-
cording to demonstrators Berrlen's
crop this season is showing up bet.
ter in quality and color than it has
any previous season. 1t is also in.

Mrs. Grouse stopped in the midst of

standing very straight cooked her

Peter had heard nothing, but when

He heard it then. Some one was
coming along the Lone Little Path,

could it be?
Wool" it seemed to Peter that
his heart skipped beat at that
sound. Then Peter heard the rus
Ting of dry leaves as. small feet
scampered about. He knew then
who was coming. 1t was the Bear
family! 1t was Mother Bear and her
cubs. Peter looked around hurriedly
for a hiding place that would be
really safe. He didn't think of Mrs.
Grouse or of her babies. His whole
thought was for himself.
Just a short distance to one side
was a hole in the ground under
big stump. Peter knew all about it.
He had found safety in there be-
fore. 1T is lucky for me that that
hole is so handy" thought Peter as
he turned toward it. Just as he
started for it, lipperty-lipperty-lip,
he heard Mrs. Grouse tell the babies
to hide, and looking back he was
just in time to see them scampering
in all directions. Even while he
looked they disappeared.
1t didn't take Peter but moment
or two to reach that hole under
the big stump. Just outside it he
stopped, and sat up to see what
would happen. Mrs. Grouse was
right where he had left her in the
middle of the Lone Little Path. Not
one of the babies was to be seen.
