Bell will give you a call It is SO

Judge Harrison Rogers, of this
city, will be seventy years old next |
Sunday. He is still as active and
humorous as boy. Indeed, there
are few men of his age who pos
sess SO much vitality and energy. |
He can mount his fine, large iron
grey from the ground and ride off
In a sweeping gallopw with as much
agility and grace as young man
making love to his sweetheart for
the first time. The Judge is one
of our best citizens and we are
glad to see him enjoy health and
life with so much vivacity.
We love to see our young men
industrious and energetic. It is a |
sure sign that they will do to tie
too, girls. A boy that won't work
just because he can't work in the
shade or behind counter will
never accomplish much in the way
of business. If you can't get a
paying clerkship do like our
young friend, Monk Stewart, get
you a two-horse wagon and 60 to
hauling wood. Monk has got the
elements of a man in him and
some day he will make his mark
too.
We presume that the present
ticket for mayor and aldermen
will have no opposition, at least
we hear of none. The candidates
for aldermen are all good, strong
men and we shall have a solid t
of councilmen should the ticket
be elected; and we see no reason
now why it will not be. In
horse parlance, the indications are
that they will have walk over.p
AS for Mayor Cheatham, he has
blameless record. He has made
us good officer and will do SO
again.
Some men are just conceited
enough to imagine that the whole
world around is bowed down in
alteration at their shrine, when
the truth is they haven't got indi-
viduality of character enough to
attract the notice of respectable
criticism. Mind and matter are
two very different things, but
many a man has never discovered
it. The little souls of this world
are largely preponderant, and
some of them will read this and
wonder what it means.
A couple of yankees are pros
pecting in the vicinity Of Thomas
vile with view of establishing
hennery. Now if these northern
fellows can come down here, set
up an enterprise like this and
make money out of it why not
some Of our Terrell county friends
do the same thing? Gentlemen,
the fact is, anything you will go
at will beat cotton. A hennery
looks like little business, but
there is money in it nevertheless.
Our people must learn not to de-
spise little things, for it is this
class of industries that yields the
largest per cent of money.
Some of our hunters are troub-
led to know what goes with the
squirrels. Sometimes they find
any number of them and then
again, in day or two, perhaps,
they go back to the same place
and find them all gone. Squirrels
are migratory animals. They fire.
quently go in. large droves or
herds, and when they have eaten
up all the mass to be found in one
place they migrate in a body to
another, in seaeh of food. They
have frequently been known to
cross the Mississippi river in quest
of food.
Our highly esteemed neighbor,
the Cuthbert Enterprise, is having
trouble with some of its less for
tunate exchanges over the 500.
prize which it won at the Louis
Vile exposition. While it is not
proper that we should take any
part in the discussion, we do, un-
hesitatingly, say that we believe
the award was made fairly and
honestly. We know the editors
of the Enterprise and Mr.. Jenkins
too well to believe for a moment
that they would wink at anything
like a "job." The Enterprise is
one of our most valued exchanges
and we shall continue to esteem it
as such.
We have in our town one of the
most precocious little boys in some
respects that we have ever known.
He is only ten years old and reads
the newspapers with as much avid
ity and interest as grown up
person. The Atlanta Constitution
