BY S. X. SMITH.

Geo. P. Simpson and Gill VIII
lis have returned from business,
trip to Macon.
E. K. Smith will soon have {
home that will bring out 1st street
with some prominence.
We regret to learn that the late
cold snap destroyed the crop oi
oranges of Maj. Nelson, on the
st. Johns.
Messrs. S. K. Smith & Go. will
open "across the way" at the
Central Warehouse" stock of
general merchandise this week.
John Haynes, the efficient dep
uty sheriff of Lee, was over few
days ago with the proper papers
and authority in search of some
violator of the law.
1t has been suggested that we
organize q reading club. Why
not some of us take hold Of the
matter and begin, this is the only
way to success in all affairs
Rev. Jas. Mcpherson, Of Texas,
occupied the pulpit at the Metho-
dist church, on Sunday night, and
while his congregation was small
twas an appreciative and atten-
tive one.
Misses McKeller and Hand
have gone, and some of our boys
are driving two IN hand and en-
quiring the nearest route to Chick
asawhatchee. Look to your lau-
rels boys OF the village or you
will lose your fairest flowers.
We were pleased to meet Mr..
c. 3. CLARK, supervisor of the @.
r. r., and from brief conversa-
ton with him we find that at no
distant day Bronwood will have
depot commensurate with its
growth and prosperity.
One of our most prominent
young men was missed on Sunday
evening last after the "west bound
train" had left US, and conjecture
run high as to his destination.
Our worthy marshal says Wards
ducks" went west and he was will
ling to bet his quarter that some
body else had found it out and
would stop at Wards Station to
see the "duckies."
Dawson was we'll represented
on our streets Saturday last by
two of Terrells most prominent
citizens, Col. L. G. Hoyl and n.
". Dozier. Billie Fed Simpson,
Ben Allen, John Kennedy and
Bill Woods, OF Chickasawhatchee,
were with US, also, and, made
pleasant the hours spent with
friends VINO are ever ready to vel
come such spirits.
We regret that other duties
have called from among us Misses
Lizzie Ragan and Allie Hammond.
The former to Sumterville, where
she goes to take charge of school.
The latter to Acworth in response
to a call from relatives. Our lit
tie circle will miss you, yet, per-
haps, your field Of duty will open
amid people who can appreciate
your true worth and extend to
you that greeting that makes every
memory bow to its open splendor.
We are still improving our little
city, and with pride note the i'm
provements as they go up. Few
places can boast of prettier houses
than we have on Geise street, and
still they are building. Rev. j.
M. Potter's residence. when fin
ished, will add much to this end
OF town. We noticed yesterday
that our friend, Sam Thompson,
has laid his lumber down prepara-
tory to building on one of the most.
desirable lots in the place.
In passing up the streets, a few
days ago, we came across a party
tossing "heads or tails" and in
stead of coin as is usual they
were using the top Of an old oys-
ter can. We very naturally asked
why they did not use a piece of
money as it would look more like
business. Our City Marshall
quickly replied that there was on
ly one quarter in the party, and he
owned that, but was not going to
risk it where any of the councilmen
could see it, for fear at their next
meeting they world discuss econo-
my again and reduce his salary.
