From the evidence given to the public of this horrible, inhuman affair, no other ver dict could have been reached. Old man Rawlings, the father of the boys, should be given a dose of the same medicine. He was, no doubt, the in stigator of the awful crime; and it was cowardly in him to try to shitt the responsibility upon his boys by putting them up to the shooting and then going to Valdosta to spend the night so as to be able to prove an alibi. * • * Have you noticed carefully the large amount of interesting news mat ter which has been filling the columns of The Ledger recently, or do you glance hastily over the locals, editor-' m town yesterday, ials, or advertisements, as your humor Miss Kate Magness, of Grassy Pond or interest at the moment suggests, I was in the city yesterday, and then throw the paper aside?

This being so, then Uneedtt Biscuit must at once take first place as the food of the world—a soda cracker, but such a soda cracker! Made by exact science in sunny bakeries so light, bright and clean, that they are a revelation. The flour is tested; the purity of the water is absolutely assured; the very air is filtered,—why even the temperature and moisture of the atmosphere is accurately regulated. The sponge is kneaded by polished paddles, not by hand. Indeed, Uneeda Biscuit are only touched once, and then by a pretty girl, from the time the flour leaves the bag until the beautiful package is placed on your table. You ask why all this work, all this care in the making of a soda cracker? Because the soda cracker is the best of all food and Uneeda Biscuit is the most wonderful of all soda crackers. And with all of it the price is only 5^ a package.

When times are flush and jobs are plentiful, these manage to “pick up” a living by working a day, now and then, or by getting little temporary jobs about towns and “picking up” ex tra quarters which the owners dis- penst with a free hand.

We are sincerely glad that The Times lias made no mistake in the name of the newspaper; and we are sincerely sorry that no mistake was made as to the city.

He is a man who helps pay for the streets on which you! walk: for the school in which your children, or perhaps you, were edu cated; he helps *o keen up the church iu which you worship; he is a man who builds a home which etriiances the value of your own property; ev ery subscription paper that is pass -d has his name upon it; he is the only one who cannot afford to swindle you. self interest, if nothing else, would prevent tills; he bears his share of the burden of good government and stays with you in sunshine and dark ness. Paste these facts in your hat, comes the temptation to theft and rob- ! and then stop and consider whenever you are tempted to send away for any thing kept In your own town. bery. With the “grafters” who steal on a larger scale the presumption Is their temptation comes from having the use of too much money belonging to other people, and a desire for spec ulation or “fast living.” And so the stealing goes on by both high and low. No man should keep any considerable amount of money about bis house oi person. The banks are the places to keep nion-'y, and even merchants who keep iron safes should deposit the bulk of their money in the bank every night.
