Interesting Gossip About Persons and
Things in and Around That Town.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. f. Causey of Ameri-
Gus visited friends and relatives IN Bron-
wood Sunday.
We learn that the AmerIcus Oil Com
PAW has put boiling cloth in its mill
at that place, and that the bolted cotton
seed meal is shipped to Germany, where
i, is used for feeding the soldiers. We
do not wonder at cotton being called
king.

her little granddaughter Miss Helen
Marshall, has returned from Fit. Valley
Miss Lollie Kennedy of Dawson, after
a visit to her cousin, Miss Annie Ken>
needy, returned home Sunday.

A PARSONS PREDlCAMENT.
Locked in Store Saturday Night While
Taking a Nap.


The Rev. Warren McLendon must
have mistaken the store of C. G.. Lewis
& Bro. for lodging house. At any rate
he found a soft spot in the rear of that
store on Saturday night and lay himself
down to pleasant sleep and peaceful
dream9.
The sleeper did not leave an orter
to be called, and consequently he slept
after the doors had been shut and the
windows barred all unconscious that he
bad been left alone. Whether it was a
mouse scatnpeIing over his feet or the
excessive cold that awoke the parsOn is
not known, but he awoke, and on awak-
ing wondered.
The Rev. McLendon was now in an
embarrassing predIcament. 1t would
have been an easy thing to lave gotten
out of the store, and by thus doing 1t
would have been still easier-requirin
less effort--to have gotten into certain
two story lodging h use known as the
Terrell county Jail. SO the parson, reas-
oning thus, waited patiently for the
coming of morn. He was set at liberty
Sunday morning at eleven o'clock by
Mr.. C. G. Lewis, who went down to his
store at that time.

Extractive matters are also nourishing,
