Nr. James Deegin, on Messrs.
Rogers and Calver's Woolbright
place, has plouehed his corn the
second time. We arc betting on
Jim.
Mrs. e. B. Bridgcs spent several
days last week, in our village, with
her daughter, Mrs. Durham.
For the benefit of those Interested
We will define the word "quartette,'
it simply means four
Mr.. John Kitchens is slowly re
covering from his recent attack of
acute rh, atism.
Nj. G. &. Bradley. Of Newman,
Ga, was in our town the other day,
visiting relatives.
We arc under many Obligations to
Mrs. Durham for mess of the finest
turnips we have seen this year.
Mr.. w. J. Sasser is still quite i'll,
though lis condition, at present, is
Letter than it was Il week ago.
Mr.. Pat Wards condition is pref
ty much the same as it has been for
several months past, only, perhaps,
he grows weaker
The Rev. Nj. Tharp filed his
regular appointment at The Baptist
church on Sunday and preached an
excellent sermon.
Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather the attendance at the Bap-
fist church on last Sunday was very
small.
We notice that Judge Query, rs
we'll rs knowing how to sell goods
and administer the law, understands
how to make good meal.
Oar friend, Mr.. j. i. Carter, has a
very fine field of corn, indeed; we
think, from the present outlook,
that Mr.. Carter: is bound to make
his intensive system of farming pay.
We pass through this world but
once. Anything therefore, that we
can DO, any kindness that we can
show, to our fellow beings, let us do
1t now; let us not defer Or neglect
it, for We shall not pass this way
a3ain.-[Smny South.
There is to be a meeting at the
Baptist church, at this place. on
next Sunday, Z7th inst, at 2 O'Clock,
P. m, for the purpose Of organizing
a Baptist Sunday school. All WHO
feel int rested are invited to be pres
tnt and take part In sad organiza-
ton.
We understand that there was a
singing choir organized i'll the village
OF last Friday night, for the benefit
of the churches. The choir is to
meet, as we learn, every Friday
night, FIR the purpose Of practicing,
We know but little about tie affair,
bat hope it may prove success. We
are passionately fond Of good music,
either vocal or instrumental.
Legislalively speaking, we think it
is the will of a great many of the
voters Of the county, and especially
Of the 2rd district, to return Capt.
H. f. Simmons to the next legisla-
ture. The Captains friends think,
owing to sickness i'll his family
which compelled him to come hons
several times during the session, he
did not have fair showing, and
they feel disposed to send him tc
the next General Assembly and give
him a chance to show his powers as
legislator.
Oar very clever frieGd and pro
feSsional brother, Dr. w. G. Ken
drick, If Dawson, knows exactly how
to entertain guests, when a cyclone
is momcnarily expected. We had q
personal demonstration Of the fact,
on last Saturday night, during the
bad weather. The Doctor tried to
put US to bed, but we would not be
put, until the '-clouds rolled by"
We came down stairs, moved to
have general meeting in the parlor,
where we met Nj James Miller and
family, who came over to the Doc
toys about IL O'Clock, p. m, as We
suppose, TO take advantage of the
Doctors cyclone pit Mrs. Ken
drick furnished some nice music, and.
considering the bad weather, we
spent an hour or two very pleasant
ly, after which we hooked our horse
10 the buggy, put for home and
reached tie delightful land Of Chick
