It is not the making of big things
that will make a person indepen-
dent and prosperous, but the say
ing of little things.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Isler, of Calhoun,
were in the village Saturday and
Sunday visiting friends and rela-
tives.
We have been feasting, for
several days, on green field peas,
our favorite dish, sent us by Mesrs.

The people of Georgia pay over
100000 annually to feed the

state.
Messrs. T. j. Hart, B. F. Smith
and Mr.. McMillen, of Randolph,
were in our village on Saturday
last. Come again gentlemen, we
are ever glad to see you and have
you with us.
The farmers are getting ready
to pull fodder; it is highly impor-
tant that the whole fodder crop be
saved, as it is a very valuable for
age and always commands a good
price.
Mr.. VIM. A. Hogue, after
years absence from the village,
has moved back again. Billie is
good clever fellow and we are glad
to welcome him, and his family,
back among us.
Our Methodist friends at this
place are going to hold d quarter
ly and centennial meeting, COM
mencing on Friday before the End
Sunday in August, and, there will
be a county Sunday school con-
evention held here on the 9Th Sun
day In August.
We would mildly suggest to
every man in Terrell county who
owns land, and can possibly do so,
to take stock in the Dawson and
Albany railroad, as we firmly be-
lieve it will be the means of build
ing up our county very material
ly.
One drink of whiskey week
for year will cost, at 10 cents
drink, S.. 20-enough to buy wife,
sister or mother a nice dress
and one drink a day during the
year, at the same price, viii cost
S36.5O-enough to pay the medical
account for the family, or pay the
tuition Of two children in school
for twelve months.
Mr.. B. f. King has about 3
acres planted in sweet potatoes,
which we believe to be the finest
in the county; Judging from the
way the vines look, he must have
potatoes nearly large enough to
eat. Mr.. King is one of the larg-
est potato growers in Southwest
Ga. He raises them to fatten his
hogs on, and says they are the
finest thing for that
purpose on record.
Our young friend, Mr.. Eustace
Biglow, paid US visit few days
ago he was thoughtful enough to
bring two very fine watermelons
and basket of very fine peaches
for which he has our thanks. Mr..
Biglow is farming on one of DIR.
r. G. Jones plantations and has,
we are told, one of the finest crops
in the county. We have known
Mr.. Biglow for a number of years,
and know him to be a thorough
going, Woodworking, wide-awake
young farmer.
Rev. J. NJ. Woodall, of Webster
county, filled his regular appoint
ment at Macedonia Primitive
Baptist church, FIVE miles east of
this place, on Saturday and Sun
day last. Mr.. Woodall has been
serving Macedonia church for 8
or 8 years, and has been very
faithful and prompt in meeting
his appointments; by the way, we
like Mr.. Woodall very much, for,
once upon a time, he gave us one
of the most beautiful, valuable,
and highly appreciated presents it
has ever been our good fortune to
have given US.
