We understand that the guano
agents will be more rigid this year
as to whom they sell than ever
before. BY the lndiscriminate
credit system many of the agents
have sustained heavy losses.
Mrs. McNulty's lecture to her
Sunday school class on last Sun
day morning upon the subject of
''habit' was one of the finest we
ever heard. Mrs. McNulty is a
lady of rare intellect.
1t is no uncommon thing, now

Our Bronwood reporter comes
to the front this week full of newsy
paragraphs. He is a dNshing
writer, and will henceforth "doup"
Bronwood in good style. He un-

Newspapers and newspaper
men are probably more criticised
than all other classes of objects
combined, and, doubtless, it is

Georgia.
