win be addressed by Hon. Jeffer
son Davis, There are only twt
survivors in Terrell eUunty aha
we know of-Dr. G. W. Farral
and Capt. O. G. Cleveland.
All the farmers have about fin.
ishsd planting corn and are now
turning their attention 10 cotton
planting. A large number Of
them, we understand, have as
much as one hundred acres Of cot.
ton already planted. Most Of the
corn is up and will soon be ready
for the first blowing.
We know that Lee Rainey is in
love because of a. poetical para
graph that he recently built-up
about jonquils and daffodlls. A
fellow has to be in love to do work
Of that characters-Albany News
and Advertiser. "Qrectw You're
a good guesser. We VIII state,
however, that our hope is forlorn.
We learn that Mr.. A. ". Breed
love is ploughing up his entire
corn crop and replanting it. The
cold, wet ground prevented il
from terminating and the grain
rotted in the ground, Since writ
ing the above we learn that others
are doing the same thing.
Our Albany and Americus
friends have seemed to be dispos-
ed to brag over the trade of ad-
joining counties. What in the
world is the matter? Our Albany
and Americus brethren should
skin one eye and drop shoulder
at this paragraph.
The contract was let last week
to dig the large cistern by the ar
tesian we'll. Work was began
Monday morning last, and it will
now soon be completed. Tn els
tern will be twenty feet wide and
fifteen feet deep. Forty-two dol
lars is the price to be paid for the
work.
An interesting meeting has
been going on at the Methodist
church during this week. Not
it'll tand ng the weather the at
has been good and the
C c>ngregations have been attentive.
A revival is greatly needed in lhis
community now, and it is hoped
his meeting will result in great
good.
We love to worry some people
these would d-be-smart people
who are always bothering other
peoples affairs and domost every
thing for spite. SYe are amusea
at the facial expressions of some
who have bitten off more than
they can chew. We enjoy the
fun, and we, believing in letting
the CALLED jade VINCE" love t.
SEQ her vince.
Last Friday Capt. j. A. Laing
received a telegram from Gov.
Mcdaniel asking if detachment
Of the Dawson Guards could join
in the escort of hls excellency to
the Exposition at New Orleans.
Our soldier boys lad to forego
the pleasure because OF tie nen
arrival of Their uniforms. They
are contemplating taking a trip
to the Exposition, enyl ow, after
the arrival Of the uniforms, which
are expected daily,
One OF our farmer friends Rp-
proachel US with dreadful secret
The other day. 1t was a secret
that was worth something, md
we promised not to tell, but oul
mother was a woman, and we
take after her in one respect, we
never keep a secret; 50 here goes:
"The way to keep moles from eat
ING seed corn is 10 stihe them to
death with snuff. Ii they don't
take it readily tickle them till they
laugh, and then apply it to their
nose with tho fore-fnger and
thumb"
