days visiting the family Of c D.
Pickett and other friends.
General Afford is pioneer cit-
zen OF Texas and is one Of the state s
most striking characters He served
with honor and distinction in the
Confederate army during the war be
tween the states. and although that
bloody struggle ended nearly half a
century ago the general has never
discarded his suit of gray. Il makes
no difference where he goes or what
the occasion he is always attired in
the regulation uniform of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans.
General Afford is the father Of

Fondis News
ON Our Special Correspondent.

From Our Special Correspondent.
April 5.-The weekly precipitation be-
gan Friday afternoon and continued un-
til Tuesday morning. The country here
abouts has received a thorough soaking.
Little Walter Holley, who had a severe
attack of pneumonia, is convalescent.
Frank Hurley and Charlie Cox went
to Elbert Saturday evening to attend the
dance.
The Fondis hotel is doing thriving
business under the able management of
the Conarroes.
Messrs. Forster and Speck have fin
ished baling hay for Lawrence Holden.
While John Hurley was putting the
bride on-a colt in Holden's barn one day
last week the animal bolted and, clear
ing the corral fences, took to the fields.
1t was afterwards caught by Virgil Elk
enberry near the latter's home. John
would have missed the colt more had it
been Sunday. Eh, John?
Saturday seems to have been market
day in Fondis, as nearly every family in
this vicinity had representative there
that day. Our local merchant, E. Tom
Harper, and his slender assistant, were
kept busy supplying the wants of the
crowd.
|. A dance is to be given at Robert Oh
sons, northwest of here, Saturday even
ing, April 8.
The bridge across Biiou creek, on the
Fondis- Elbert road, is said to be in bad
condition, and should be looked after
at once.

How About This2

DO you patronize your home mer-
chants? Here are several reasons why
you should:
First. Taking into consideration quail
ity, quantity, etc, you receive as good
values IN Elbert as you would anywhere
in the west.
Second. The existence OF the home
stores depends on the amount of patron
age you give them. If the amount OF
business done does not justify them in
keeping a complete general stock, the re-
suit is detrimental to every individual in
the neighborhood, and the final effect is
a depreciation in the value of all proper
ty, especially real estate, as no one is
eager to invest in property in locality
where it is hard to Obtain necessary sup
plies.
Third. You are forced to rely on your
home merchant to dispose of the greater
part of your farm products each season
Do you appreciate the fact that all prices
made by the local dealers this season on
produce of all kinds were calculated on
so narrow a margin of profit as to barely
pay the expense of handling?
Fourth. When you need an accom-
mediation your home merchants are us
ually the first to be approached. Is it
fair to ask your home merchants to carry
you on their books, and give your cash
trade to some store in the city, or some
eastarn m nil ordar bnuco2
Lastly we would suggest that this
community unite in a persistent effort
to build up our home Institutions and
boom the Elbert county portion of the
"Divide" country. OBSERVER.

Elizabeth Notes

From Ebert County Banner.
A. f. Kunze, south Of town, has put up
a windmill rigged for pumping water,
running grinder and furnishing power
for any needful things. 1t has 12-foot
wheel raised on 40-foot tower
The building prospect for Elizabeth
this year is better than it has been for a
number of years. A number of build
ings and additions are already under
construction and our town has a busy
appearance.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. X. Georgia write from
Denver that they are now cozily located
at No. 2136 Marion street, where they
hope all their old friends in Elbert coun-
ty will visit them when in the city.
At Phillip Smiths sale last Thursday
large crowd was present and everything
sold brought from good to high prices.
The sale amounted to s2,300, the buyers
taking advantage of the five per cent. off
for cash, and paid down for their pur-
chases, which goes to show that money
is plentiful in our country.

Advantages of Incorporation,

In the following article, reproduced
from the Eagle Enterprise, there is much
that applies equally well to Ebert, and
we urge our readers within the town to
give it their thoughtful considerations:
"The fact that number of the citizens
of Eagle are bowling their heads off con-
corning the incorporation question is no
reason why some OF us should give in to
the almost foolish arguments submitted
and lay down on account OF the opposi-
ton. This makes the subject legiti-
mate one for discussion, as well in these
columns as elsewhere in town. 1t may as
well be understood at the outset that
The Enterprise is in favor of incorpora-
ton. The principal contention is the
exceedingly high resulting tax, which it
is deemed by the people opposing the
question will be something enormous
Now, think of it. One man owns a
house that is worth about $500. He is
worried about the raise in taxes which
might possibly amount to the over
whelming sum of about 51.50 a year
Another owns one town lot valued at $50.
This man is also undoubtedly troubled
over the heavy tax. Someone remarked
that it would cost $4,000 to maintain a
water system for Eagle. Such state
ments are unreasonable and unjust II
the man that made this statement or
anyone else will insure the proprietor of

Heavy Snowfall.

The heaviest snowfall since April, 1901,
IS reported all over the divide country
Here at Elbert snow commenced falling
Friday afternoon and continued until
Tuesday morning. Much of the snow
melted as fast as it touched the ground
and there was not more than eight inch
es on the ground at any time, though in
the country west of town the snow was
much heavier. 1t is estimated that fully
two feet OF snow fell during the three
and a half days.
