ness bein done, as is shown by the fol
lowing account :

. month, $33,605.09.
..Seventy-four homestead entries, cov-rf-eHn-
11,279 07 acres. -Thirty
hnaj homesLeads.
' Six final timber cultures.
Five original desert land entries.
One hundred and sixty cash entries,
25,558.81 acres.
TTLmony and other feeB collected,

Twenty-four contested cases served
during the month.

pended, $5,285.11. ' -

"On the Suwanee River," which
comes to the Vogt opera bouse on next
Monday (January 16th), tells a Btory dif
ferent from the usual ran of melodrama.
The blind girl, Dora; the witless Frank,
and Caleb Croc, the miser, are three
characters rarely introioced in a play.
Willard Newell is the villain of the vil
lainous, grasping, sneaking miser of the
very life. It is pronounced a fine char
acter study, repulsive but true in every
word and movement. Stella Mayhew as
Aunt Lindy, is a living picture in walk,
talk and gesture of the old black mam
my, familiar in tbe South, while the
other members of the company are
-equally adept in their parts. The scenic
equipments are taken from the pictur
esque shores of the old Suwanee, and
the various scenes, of which there is an
-entire carload, are assured to be true to
- the very life of tbe country around this
famouB stream.

La Urlppe Sucoes folly Treated.
"I have just recovered from the eec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first bnt for the use of this remedy as 1
had to go to bed in about six boars after
being 'struck' with it, while in the first
case 1 was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "
