lag in bingham.
The contest for the Guyton postofice,
made vacant by the resignation and re-
moval of Mrs. Burns to Macon, has been
settled by the appointment Of DR.. H. E.
Archer, a resident Of the county, hut who
purchased the Burns property at Guyton.
While the new appointee, being non
resident of the town, was not Endorsed by
the citizens Of the vicinity. still it is
whispered in Guyton that the motive power
of the "dealn came not
From Greenland's icy mountains,
Neither
From India's coral strand,
But from some source
Where Africs sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand
And so it seems in future Guyton will
have postal connection with Africa.

to a delegation of the bingham county

q nate, as it is said that the speaker was some
what disappointed at the small number
u present.
II The late cold snap did little damage to
u the fruit crop OF Etbngham, although the
81 pear blooms were quite numerous. Some
4 very promising fruit orchards are to be seen
in Bingham, an industry that has been
8 been sadly neglected in the past. Parties
in around Guyton are turning their atten-
ton now to truck farming, and it is pre-
dcted that at no distant day this enterprise
will be largely fostered. The lands are well
q adapted for any character of crop known to
this warm climate.
