"iSieI' he Is thoroughly well
posted, with the nerve to back it,
The farmers are genally through
planting both corn and cotton and
are now getting things in readi-
ness mes tor a general slaughter of
General Green's forces.
Capt. Dillon has made a bet
that cotton will reach 105 cents

money.
We are glad to see Mr.. s. P.

Never in the history of South
West Ga. has there been so much
enthusiasm upon the subject of
building railroads. But it takes
money to build railroads and
lots Of it.
Occasionally we see upon our
streets a team of poor, lean, lank
looking mules. What reflection
1t IS upon the farmer who lives in
this country to have poor mules!

crly Miss Emma Laing, daughter
of Squire Laing, of this city.
During these dull days, incident
to spring, the boys about town are
put to it to find amusements suf-
iiciently diversified to while away
the leaden hours. The marble sea-
son is now on but it fails to
draw" as in other years.
Judge Rogers, of this city, has
received information that his only

DR.. Paschal and Lawson Melton
have the prettiest two-acre cabbage
patch ever seen in this country.
On two acres, they used 81 tons of
guano, cotton seed meal and kahn
it. This is what we call intensive

In sympathy with the much

as to give the boys a chance to re-
cuperate. What say the bosses?

considerable confusion to the

ers.
Frank Winderweedle is the
cleverest man in Georgia. He in
vited US out to his mill on last
Tuesday evening, showed us over
his crop and garden and then dis
missed us with a big string of fine

again on the finest garden.

clined to yield obedience any long
er to the overseer's summons to
work the public roads. Ward

citizens propose to enjoy the dig
nifty of the situation and pay a
street tax.
The thing for our farmers to do,
is to get the old stumps up out OF
their fields and prepare for the
introduction Of labor-saving ma
chimes. The money saved by run
ming cultivator will take the
stumps out of ffty-acre field.
Just think Of one man doing the
work of four men.
The threatening aspect of the
weather, on last Tuesday morning
just before day, drove several OF
our good friends to seek shelter in
their storm pits. Why laugh at a
man because he values his life
enough to end2avor to protect it?
Self-pl eservation is the first law
Of nature.
Out of 1900 votes recently cast

ceiver, Wessolowsky, who was a
