BY j. H. HAMMOND, NJ. D.

Ben Allen is the funny man Of
the village.
d. A. McGahee is said to be the
belle of the village for lSS4-LeaE
Year you know.
Mr.. Tom Durham and Mr.. J. c.
Walters, of Gillionville, were in
the village on Sunday.
The oats sown since Christmas
have come up and are doing well,
contrary to the expectations of a
good many farmers.
We still have an occasional case
of pneumonia, though the health
of the county is much better than
it was few weeks ago.
We think the signs are good for
the commencement-at no dis
tant day-of a regular matrimoni-
al crusade in Observation-Disclosures.
A band of lace selling, horse
swapping gypsies paid our town
a flying visit on Tuesday last
They seemed to be very anxious to
trade.
The Methodist Sunday school
was reorganized on Sunday MORN
ing at 8 o'clock with Mr.. d. P.
McLain Superintendent and c..
r. Crowell Secretary.
Mr.. Ed H. Simpson, of Brentwood,
was in the village on Sunday. Ed
is getting to be bad about coming
to Chickasawhatchee, but then
you know how it is yourself.
Miss Minnie Bridges is in the
village visiting her sister, Mrs.
Durham. We think some of the
young gentlemen are glad Mrs.
Durham lives here.
If there is one thing that is
more disgusting, to us, than anoth-
er, it is to think that a white wo-
man can become so debased as to
marry negro.
The young ladies inform us that
they are going to have Valentine
party, at Mr.. Dan Harden's, on
the night of the l4th inst. Hope
they will have a nice time.
We can't keep from smiling
when we mediate upon the great
amount of trouble the Hon. Kit
Warren has had in trying to pro-
cure a wife. We sympathize with
the gentleman from Lee.
Mr.. Andrew Walls has planted
some corn. Mr.. Walls is a pro-
gressiye young farmer, and is
bound to succeed. We think he
is about the first man to plant, i'll
this section, every year.
We received this week, the En-
terprise, bright, newsy little
sheet, published at Smithville,
Ga, and edited by our old. time
friend, Mr.. j. F. johnson. Sue
cess to you, Joe.
Mr.. Boone, formerly Of Web
ster county, passed through our
village on last Tuesday morning.
In conversation with Mr.. Boone,
he informed US that he wanted to
go where things are better and
money more plentiful; hence he
goes to Florida.
Improvements continue to 90 on
in the village. Mr.. w. J. Cox is
now hauling lumber preparatory
to building new residence here for
himself and family. All Chicka-
sawhatchee needs to make her a
real live and progressive town is a
railroad.
Prof. Wilkerson's :chool is
steadily inceasing in number and
interest; it now numbers about 80
pupils, with a good prospect for
more. Send along friends and let
us have a good school. There is
nothing that is of more benefit
to a community than a good, first
class school.
Mr.. John King informed us a
few days ago, that he still had
potatoes for sale, and that he
readily got one dollar per bushel
in Albany. There certainly
is more money IN potatoes at 81
per bushel than there is in cotton
at s or 8 cents per pound. Mr..
King is realizing handsome in
come from his potatoes, now, at
time when money is very scarce,
and not easy to come at.
MORAL: Raise potatoes.
The Messrs. Anthony, formerly
of North Georgia, have bought
the Abbott place 3 miles below the
village and have moved to our
county to live. They are prepar-
ing, in connection with their farm,
to go into the "bee culture" 1t is
really interesting to hear MIR. w.
A. Anthony. talk about bees and
their management. This is new
departure in our section, and we
truly hope the gentlemen may
succeed, beyond their most san
| guine expectations. We will say
