Mr.. Davis, our sheriff, happen
ed to a bad accident last weei
He went to Mr.. Wilson's mill to
arrest a colored man. He found
his man and told him he was a
prisoner. The colored man asked
Mr.. Davis if it was any harm to
get away. Mr.. Davis told him if
he could get away it was all right.
Mr.. Davis made a grab at him
and caught him to handcuff him.
The colorAd man said to Mr.. Da-
Wis. 81 am not going to hurt you,
but [ am going to get away"
They had a lively tussle and Mr..
D. fell and knocked his knee-cap
and a bone in his ankle out of
place. He is badly hurt.
The dog scare is about over.
In the past two weeks there have
been some valuable dogs killed.
Mr.. lowers lost two fox dogs
for which he had often refused
500 each. When he learned his
dogs were dead his words were
variegated.
The farmers are all in a stew
about their cotton. Some are
planting over, some are replant-
ing, some are chopping out what
they have up, and say it is as
much as they want, for they can't
get but 7 and s cents for it. The
cotton stand is bad. Corn is good
and looking we'll.

The members of the Georgia
Press Association received less at
tention in Atlanta than any city
they visited. This is probably ac-
counted for through the fact that
the "Clans of the Valley" who
compose the greater portion of the
inhabitants Of that great city,were
TOO busy trying to discover Tho
Gordon boomlet to pay much at-
tentlon to the memhors Of tho

THE prohibition election in Ma
con county last Wednesday re-
suited in victory for the whis-
key men, notwithstanding that
Marshalville gave 2O6 votes for
prohibition and 8 against it. A
reaction seems to be taking place
on this question, and it is thought
by many that in ten years there
will be but few counties in which
whiskey is not sold.

Meeting of the Press Association.

Meeting of the Press Association.
The members of the Georgia
Press Association held their ar
nual meeting in the parlors of the
Brown House at Macon Thursday,
the 10Th of April. The Conven-
ton was called to order at 10 4. NJ,
and continued in session until l
P. NJ, during which time the bust
ness OF the association was trans
acted. At 3 o'clock that after
noon the citizens of the city placed
a line OF phetons at the command
OF the members and ride was
taken over the city, all the points
of interest being visited. The
most pleasing feature of this ride
was a visit to Wesleyan Female
College, where we were warmly
received by President Bass.
An imprompt1 programme-a
musical and literary oyation-had
been arranged for the entertain
ment of the visitors, and was
well received and highly enjoy
ed. 1t did credit both to the
pretty girls and their tutors. A
Southwest Georgia editor appro-
priately says: "This seat of learn
ing may be termed a fountain
from which a living stream of
worth and beauty flows and wa
ters the homes of Georgia into
producing the sweetest fruits and
flowers of her civilization"
At nine p. m. we partook of a
magnificent banquet given by the
citizens of Macon in the dining
hall of the Brown House. The
menu could not be surpassed, and
the ready flow of the sparkling
champagne was only equalled by
the wit and eloquence of the edi-
tors and citizens of Macon, who
responded to the toasts proposed.
Loved well before by all Geor-
gians, the unexcelled hospitality
displayed on this occasion has, in
greater degree, endeared the
central city and its people to the
Georgia press.
Friday morning the association
went in a body to Atlanta to see
Hon. Jefferson Davis and witness
the unveiling of the Hill statute
and thence to Savannah to attend
the Centennial and tackle the ia.
nous artillery punch.
The next meeting of the associ.
alton will be held at Valdosta,
from which point the editors will
probably go on an excursion tc

himself, causing his death in q

thing, and despises perchance the
poor devil who cannot settle to
save himself from perdition. 1t
is grand thing to pay as you

kind are commercial failures, it is
not so easy for everybody to get
and keep square with the money

ure who tries his best and fails!
