Bowling Announced-Other Items

When it was stated that officials
and passengers at the Berlin railroad
station saw snakes yesterday let 1t
be known that this story has moth
ing to do with the ~. Us" or the
cup that cheers. The snakes we're
real, live reptiles and three of them
were seen about the station, being
discovered by a woman passenger,
who, upon seeing them, straightway
went into a faint. Efforts 10 find the
reptiles were to have been made to-
day,
This woman passenger started 10
20 into the womau's lavatory. She
no more than opened the door when
she perceived the three snakes NOV
ing around the floor. With a scream
she slammed the. door shut and then
tainted in her husbands arms.
The station was agog. The woman,
upon reVivinG told her husband that
she had seen three big snakes in
the Womcn's rest room and Emilio
Martino. doughty baggage man. VOL
unteered to enter the room and wage
combat with the monsters. He did
so, succeeding in killing one, al
though the others made their cs-
cape. When he entered the room
there were but two snakes TO be
seen, the second making its escape.
There is no cellar under that part
OF the station and the reptiles are
no doubt making their home In the
warm earth under the building.
The division superintendent Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad was notified OF the occur
ence and today officials were await
ing The appearance of gang OF
workmen to remove the flooring in
an effort 10 find the other snake, or
snakes If there be more than one.
Just what variety they are. Mr.,
MARITIME could not say. He described
the one he killed as being OF yell
loWish brown color and the one
that escaped as being several feet
IN length.
This incident recalls to mind the
facl that several years ago, when the
Berlin fair uscd to be an snnua

close of the exhibition. Grated his
beauties in preparation for shipping

EARLY BROILER CHICKS
BRING FANCY PRICES

Early broilers and fryers always
bring a fancy price. From all indi-
cations the market for broilers and
fryers in Florida during the months
of February, March and April will
be exceptionally high. Some predict
that two to two and a quarter pound
fryers will bring from one dollar to
one dollar twenty cents each. In or
der to give the club boys and girls
Of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill county
the advantage of having some early
broilers and fryers ready for this
market we have agreed through our
County Agent, C. T. Owens and our
Home Economics Agent, Mrs. Bertha
B. Luke, to hatch free of charge as
many as fifteen eggs for any club
boy or girl. If you care to take adj
vantage of this free Matching get in
touch with Mr.. Owens or Mrs. Luke
right away. This offer will only last
Tor four weeks longer.
In view of the fact that we are
now crowded with orders for baby
chicks from Florida buyers we will
pay $3.50 per hundred for all pure
Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock
eggs for the next two or three weeks.
Take good car eof your chickens and
feed them well, bring US your eggs
and help us to fill these orders and
at tn esame time make a nice profit
on the money you have invested.

THOMAS PLEADS GUILTY
TO CONCEALINC ASSETS
Dublin Merchant Faces Prison Sem
tence-Two Others Are
Jointly Indicted.

Macon, Ca, October 21.-Prlson
sentences of not more than two years
or a fine of not more than $4,000,
either one or both, face R. Thmoas,
merchant of Dublin, Ga.
These are the penalties for con-
spiracy to conceal assets from the
federal trustee in bankruptcy, to
which Thomas pleaded guilty in Unit
ed States Court.
Sentence of Thomas was deferred.
He will be sentenced after the con-
clusion of the trials of W. A. DAM
pier, Dublin attorney, and Judge j.
C. Bidgood, of the Dublin City Court,
who were jointly indicted with him.
Dampkier's trial began Monday.
Bidgood is to be brought to trial
after hearing of the charges against
Danpier have ben concluded.
Thomas, according to the allega-
tions, concealed $4,000 assets from
the trustee in bankruptcy after he
had filed & voluntary petition in
bankruptcy in United States Court
here in April. He hid $4,000 worth
of tires and failed to report $4,000
cash deposit in three Macon banks,
according to the allegations.
The Dublin auto accessory mer-
chant filed the bankruptcy petition
to offset the involuntary petition
asked by his creditors a few days
before, the government contends.
His creditors took this step because
they became alarmed at an asserted
"bogus" $4,000 mortgage Thomas
filed in Laurens Superior Court at
Dublin, executed to a brother, &C.
cording to the accusations.
Dampier and Bidgood are accused
of "aiding and abetting" Thomas in
the alleged conspiracy. The were en-
gagged by Thomas as counsel at vari-
Gus items during the transaction.
