visiting her cousin, Miss Eva Carrig,n.
We are reliably informed that another

dollars stolen from him several weeks
ago. Il was Mr.. Charley Avitt, who
lest the money
Mr. Drake, one of our cit ,ns, moved
TO Irvington laet Tue sday. Mr. Drake was
& nod, pescsable and industrious man,
and we hate IN give him up. H. has
nice family Of children. Here's luck to

that II Spain and Uncle Sam gtts into
scrap he is willing aud ready TO tixht on

Gus d.
Mr. J. N. He'll, Jr., photographer, Of
Valley Home, makes frequent visits to
our town. We are informed that Jim is
in love with one of our bonnie assies.
Jim is handsome and sociable, and we
are always glad to see him.
Constable Thomas Anderson, OF the
Nation" over in Breckenridge county,
was over in Meade the other day. Tom
is an old acquaintance Of mine, and l
would rather see and hear him laugh
than any other man on earth. He says
that his precinct in 1896 gave Bryan 81
majority, yet Tom ran on the Republic
an ticket and was elected, so one can see
at a glance how popular he is.
Mr.. John Brown, who lives three
miles south Of Brandenburg, is a hustler
from away back. You may pass his
farm when you will, but You never catch
John idle. When he is not making
crops he is working wire fencing, or
building barns, cribs, etc. You can set
him down rs not being calamity howl
er. Pres Kennedy is another young
farmer who will come to the front if lie
keeps his health.
Mr.. William Basket, Jr, our popular
and energetic stock trader, made this
wonderful statement the other day. That
he bought lambs last season all over
Meade and Breckenridge counties, and
that George Lyddane had the incest and
latest lambs that he saw, and still that
is not half yet; that he (Bssketi) was con-
stantly on the market at the Bourbon
Stock Yards, en- ! he saw no lambs he,
equal to Lyddan's. 1t seems that this
secret OF raising such lambs is known on
ly to George Lyddan.
Mr.. Matt Saunders, formerly of this
county, but at present resident Of Eiz-
abethtown, is here now on a visit to bis
daughter, Mrs ]. B. Smith. He says the
farmers of his county Harding, are Civ
ing more attention to the cattle industry
than ever before; that one firm alone
have paid simply for freight to railroads
for transportation on Georgia cattle,
which they bring here to feed or sell to
others the sum of 81 800, and that firm
is Watkins & Kennedy. Besides, there
are others who bring Georgia cattle to
that county for the same purpose.
and he says the Georgia cattle as q
rule are small and knotty.
The Meade County Teachers Associa.
ton was held here last Saturday, and the
