After freeing himself he started straight toward some children who were playing in the yard. Mr. Strickland realized the danger and on calling, the dog ap proached seeming perfectly friend ly. As soon as he laid his hand upon the dog, he saw that he was mad and immediately a struggle ensued in which the dog was killed but not until he had inflict ed a painful wound on Mr. Strick land’s hand. Dr. T. R. Kelley, the family physician was absent at the time but as soon as he re- turnsd he decided to send the un lucky man on to New York for treatment.

The frends of the unfortunate gentleman who was bitten by a mad dog are making up a purse to seud him to the Pasteur Institute, New York City.

(ieonria Farmer* are luventlgat- iiiKthe Husiiiess Which ha* I teen Shown to Yield Splendid Profit*. The raising of sheep is likely to become a prominent industry of the south. More and m‘ire every year the farmers are taking to this very productive source of income, and in many sections of south Georgia there are farmers now in possess ion of large Hocks of sheep. The Chronicle is informed that there are several farmers in the vicinity of Augusta who contem plate embarking in this business. In Columbia county a club of farmers recently wrote to stock dealers in North Carolina asking for prices on a high breed of sheep. Investigation has revealed the fact that a hundred dollars in vested in sheep will, in the course ot five years, net the investor $(>00 a year clear of all expense. It costs but little to prepare pasture for this purpose, and those with hilly laud may easily adapt themselves to the pursuit* It is said that the Columbia county farmers will soon order the necessary stock for their ven ture, and in doing so they feel sored that they are road to fc rtune. The entire wool products ol Georgia do not equal a tenth of that of North Carolina, although that state is uo 1 etter adapted in climate to this industry than Georgia. In order to investigate this sub ject more closely farmers should address the experimental station at Experiment, Ga. The officers there have given the industry an exhaustive study, and are able to show the merits of this pursuit iu the truest colors.—Augusta Chron icle. TWO STATE GATHERINGS. 3.

Jacksonville, Fla., November 25.—Th5 National Tobacco Grow ers’ Convention that will be held in Ocala, Fla., on January 12 gives promise of being one of the most important gatherings ever held in Florida. Secretary D. S. Williams, of tin Ocala board of trade, received a letter on Satur day from the Governor of Indiana, stating that he had appointed 11 delegates from that State, all of whom have signified their deter mination to attend. The Govern or of every State iu the Union will appoint, if he has not already done so, similar delegates, and representatives from every tobac co growing State iu the Union will be present. Mr. W’illiams re ceives letters daily from tobacco men from all parts of the country who will attend whether they are delegates or not. The Convention is being thoroughly advertised in all the tobacco journals aud is arousing a far greater interest than was anticipated by the most sanguine. It now looks as if there would be at least 500 delegates and visitors present from outside the State. Iti addition to this every county iu Florida will send dele gates. The Ocala board of trade is making preparations to entertain the visitors. One result of the Couveution will be to place promi nently before the growe.s of the country the adaptability of Flori da for tobacco of all kinds. The CaotlcH Kcturu. New York, Nov. 26.—Walter M.
