DEFYING DEATH. 0 What is probably the most perilous, hazardous and sensational performance ever conceived is called "Death Ride," and is executed daily by the Great Reynard outside the show tents of the Sparks World Famous Shows, which are billed to exhibit here Thursday November 11th. The paraphrenalia for this sensational act is so cumbersome and the ^pace required for its erection is so great that it is necessarily as a free outside attraction, and takes place just after the street parade. The Great Reynard, in what is billed as the "Last Word in Human Hazard," rides down a hudred foot ladder incline while blindfolded, jnounted insecurely a top of a unicycle. The hazardous part of this marvelous performance lies in the fact that the Great Reynard -4&S blindfolded and can not see to main tain the perfect balance that is required in order to successfully accomplish this wonderful performance. Should he in the least lose his sense of direction or his balance he would fall from the ladder to the earth far below This act is conceded to be the great?est thriller ever presented and the jppvblic are invited to witness it free f just after the street parade.

P. , FACTSOFINTEREST ABOUT GEORGIA TOWN ] Mr. W. J. Hendricks Writes in 1 Interesting Way of His Trip. ? ? Editor Herald?As I have been visiting in Southeast Georgia I would i like to write a few sketches on the little place 1 visited for your paper. ' The little town I visited was Pineora, twenty-seven miles from Savannah on the Central of Georgia and the Midland Railroads. I consider it one 1 of the biggest little towns in the State of Georgia. ] It is only a few years old but is making the wheel of Progress roll. It hhs several stores, one Bank, one ! large tobacco warehouse. It is the largest tobacco market in the State. ' It also has one large saw mill and plaining mill and several other industrecs, that it takes to make a nustling little town. Pineora has two of the largest farmR ill SSniifftnnvtvin r*r>n nwn. ed by the National Land Co., and the other by the Pineora Development Co. Those business concerns are making large strides in farming. Of all the beautiful rich farm lands I ever saw I think those are the best. The land is of a light soil and well drained. It is very easy to raise from one to two bales of cotton per care, also 50 to 100 bushels of corn per acre and a thousand pounds of tobacco with a medium amount of fertilizer. Tobaeco growing was started 3 years ago at Pineora and is becoming one of the leading products of that section, along with cotton and corn, also a lot of trucking and cattle and hog raising, some of the largest poultry farms in the State. Some of those poultry farms are 30 to 50 acres in size and nroilllcos rrmitl fnv morn 4lmn 1 ^ Mill tv/i 1I1VL V/ til C4 I I J VW chickens every year. Pineora also has the large city of Savannah to do all its merketing with and it pays the highest market prices for country produce, with exceptionally good railroad service. There is no railroad in the State that furnishes better service than the Central of Georgia, which leads to all the leading cities of Georgia and Alabama. Also the midland railway is near in completion. Those roads cross in Pineora. Pineora is a very healthy location with large Parks of Magnolias, Pines and Live Oaks. I think any one could live happily in this little town with the accomodations it furnishes. There are lots of South Carolina people in that section who seem to be well pleased with the place. Something else I forgot to mention along with the rest of the chief products around Pineora is some large Pecan orchards which brings forth lots of delicious nuts about readv for harvest now. Any one that would like to purchase a home or farm at Pineora can write W. P. Smith, Pineora, Ga., for infor-. mation. Well for fear this strikes the waste basket I will ring off. W. J.
