Court of Common Pleas.

At the time of our going to press
last week the court was engaged
with the suit brought by Dr.. J. R.
Zimmerman against Mr.. 0. o. Po-
sey to recover 23 acres of land and
damages, the sum of $1,000 being
involved. A verdict was rendered
in favor of the plaintiff, restoring
to him the % acres of land and
awarding damages to the amount of
S25.
The case that has attracted most
attention since the convening of the
court Of common pleas was the suit
brought by Mr.. John O. Scott
against the Georgia Carolina Power
Company for s2,5OU damages. MIR.
Scott alleged that the impounded
water resulting from the dam which
the Georgia Carolina Power Com
pany constructed across Savannah
river has caused a stream near his
home to overflow and that has
created sickness in his family, and
because of this damage to his prop
erty and menace to the health OF
his family he sought redress in the
courts.
The testimony in the case was COM
pleted Saturday, aud Monday morn
| ing the sheriff, following the order
of the court, secured four automo-
biles and carried the jury down to
view the property in order that
they may act more lntelligently.
After being in the room several
hours the jury rendered verdict
Tuesday afternoon for $500 in ia
vor of Mr.. Scott. The plaintiff was
represented by j. VIM. Thurmond
and B. E. Nicholson and the de-
fendant by Sheppard Bros, Elliot
and Herbert of Columbia and Boy
kin Wright of Augusta.
The next case called Tuesday was
similar to the above, being a suit
for damages in the sum of $40 POO
against the Georgia Carolina Power
Company by Mr.. Walter Cheatham.
The jury will be taken in automo-
biles to view the property Thurs
dav. There are about l6 other cases
against the Georgia Carolina Power
Company but these were continued
to the next term Of court. AS the
suit of Mr.. Cheatham will be the
last for this term, all petit jurors
except those drawn on this case
were discharged tuesday afternoon.

HARDY's HAPPENINGS.
Township Equalization Board
Met. Hardy's Church With
out Organist. Missiona-
ry Society to Meet.

Sunday was lovely spring day,
warm. bright and very little wind
in omparison with what We have
been having. We have hid more
wind and harder wind this season
than for years it seems to me The
trees ought surely to grow we'll af-
ter such work as the wind has given
them.
We were truly sorry to hear of
the extreme illness of little James
McClain, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Claim, Sr., who have recently moved
to the Cooper peighborhood. He
has pneumonia and was taken to his
aunt's Mrs. Will Walkers to be
treated by DR.. Moore, the child
specialist. We hope to hear to-day
cf his being much better.
Glad to see Mrs. Luther Reese up
again after her severe spell of chills,
she and Miss Georgia Reese. Mrs.
Reese spent few DAYS with her
sister, Mrs. Gertie Shaw, hoping to
gain some strength and get rid Of
some of the malaria. She certainly
shows what malaria has done for
her. She guarantees us full sup
ply of malaria if we will come spend
one night with her. Of course we
promised not to come.
: We are glad to report that we
have just heard that little James
McClain is little better. his fever
being less this morning.
Miss Mary Townes left this morn
ing for Shelton, S. c., where she
will take school for short term.
Last Tuesday the equalization
board of Meriwether township met
at Mr.. John SCOTS and we were In
vited to spend the dav also with
the ladies. Mrs. Scott and Niss Inez
have their cousins, bright pretty
young lady from Grovetown, Ga,
Miss Nina Blackstone, visiting
there, also the teacher sweet little
creature Miss Kitty Link. Mrs. H.
F. Cooper and Miss Lila Bunch,
Herbert Bunch, Mr.. H. E. Cooper,
Mr.. Wiley Glover, Mr.. Will Par
ris and Mr.. Eu Spires were all there
to dine that day, and enjoyed the
entire day with Mr.. Scott's hospita-
BILE family.
Since Miss Irene Scott married
we have lost our organist at Har-
dy's, and we missed her Sunday
very much as no one else would play
for us. There were not so many out
as should have been as pretty day
as it was. There was a fairly good
attendance at Sunday school at
Sweetwater we were told. and after
it was over the young folks motor
ed to Augusta for JOY ride.
We were very sorry TO Lear of
Mrs. T. j. Briggs being so sick.
Hope she will soon be up again and
be able to attend the missionary
meeting which will be at Hardy's
church, owing to Mrs. Townes not
being at home. Sorry to hear Mr..
Will Briggs is not at all we'll.

Dear Old Advertiser:

Dear Olu auVeTGlSel.
We people OF Cleora are so much
elated over the good work being
done around here by the chaingang,I
with Capt. Barrett in charge, that
we are just obliged to whoop up
our town little bit. Capt. Bar
rett, with his genial smile and ac.
commodating disposition, has won
the friendship of all our people: 1t
is being said that he is doing more
and better work, with less fuss and
less help than has ever been done
in this section BEFORE Yes, and
Charlie Broadwater, the Old Rock
of Gibraltar, stands pat and is god.
father for the whole crew.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we want you to
get in your new six-forty Paige car.
and come up to see us, taking a spin
up Bartl.y street to Cleora, down
cClendon street toWilliams street,.
then to Red Land farm. Then take
down Brunson street to the Vienna
road and back to Cleora through
Reels Southside avenue and if this
fails to make you smile, l will pay
the fiddler.
Now, if the supervisor wants to
complete the happiness of all of the
people of this burg, just let him
put Capt. Barrett and his gang on
Morgan street. This is new street
and road leading from Cleora to
Berea church. We are not expect
ing that this road DO put in thorough
repair at this time but few days,
work on it, now would give us q
better way to get to Berea church
and would be highly appreciated by
us all.
Mr.. Editor, Just let me speak of a
few more things and ] am done for
this time. You know we can bl1asts.
Of the largest country store IN the
county, if not in the State, run by
men of high order of business
qualities. They put on bargain
sale some time ago and you can bet
that our town has been thronged
with people from far and near, car
rying off bargains by the armful,
by buggy loads and wagon loads.
You see, when Albert Reel, one of
the best business boys in the coun-
ty, puts cut price on an article
you may be sure it is down. Yes,
down below zero and you safely
take it in.
Furthermore, we have got one of
the best horse shoers and wheel
wrights to be found anywhere. So
if your horses feet need a doctor,
or your wagon or buggy goes
crazy, just bring them to Doolit-
ties asylum at Cleora. He stands
at his forge ready and willing to
make you happy.
Brunson school is progressing
finely under the guidance of two of
the best teachers to be found any
where, Miss Sara Stevens and Miss
Carrie Collins. They have SO pu-
pills, all of whom are sound and
healthy, without a single defect of
any kind.
Grain is looking fairly we'll around
here, but 1 hear some complaint of
the fly being in it. More diversifi-
cation is being practlced by our
farmers than was ever known be-
fore and less guano is being used
than ever.

Southern Bestows Medals Upon
Faithful Employees.

Washington, D. g., March IL
One thousand, seven hundred and
6fty-eight men in the employ of
of Southern Railway Company,
representing all ranks and all classes
from general cffcel to blacksmith
helper, who have exceeded twenty.
! five years of continuous service on
the road, will shortly be awarded
medal by President Fairfax Har-
rison in recognition of their achieve
nent and to commemorate their
honorable record. The presenta-
tion of the medals will be made per-
sonally by MIR. Harrison to all those
entitled to them during the next
two weeks. In announcing the
plan, the following statement was
issued b. President Harrison:
Southern Railway Company has
in it's service 1888 men of all ranks
and classes, from general officer to
blacksmith helper, who have ex-
ceeded twenty-five years of contin-
uous service on the road. There
are, indeed, tbirty-four men who
have exceeded fifty years of such
service, and it Is also of interest
that there are 235 negroes on the
list. These men are best men the
Company carries on its rolls, for
they have proven their loyalty and
their fitness for their several respon-
sibilities in the hard school of ex-
periencs and by survival of the
strict discipline which is necessary
in the administration of railroad.
To recognize their achievement and
to commemorate their honorable
record, the Company has arranged
to award each one of them a medal
which they can wear so long as they
live and hand down a3 an heirloom
of'their families.
The medal is of bronze, of highly
artistic and successful design. It-is
the work of tie distinguished sculp-
tor Victor Brenuer of New York,
who waa recommended to the Com
pany by the United Slater Direc-
tor Of the Mint. The artist is best
known, perhaps, for his design Of
the current Lincoln penny.
The diverse of the medal bears
the inscription Southern Railway
Company. For Loyalty" and shows
an actual scene on the road, Sec
ton of modern double tract k equip
ped with automatic signals, with
an all steel passenger train running
through the mountains Of North
Georgia. President Harrison's plan
was to show typical industrial
scene with factory in the back
ground, but the sculptor would not
agree that factory was capable
of artistic treatment and insisted
on mountains. 1t is, however, for
tunate for the Company and for
those who will wear the medals that
there are factories ON line as well
as scenery.
The reverse of the medal shows
three symbols of modern railroad
ing: a telephone dispatcher at his
,r,;,,h hoord sontion panU an.
gagged in maintenance and large
heavy power press to represent the
shop crafts. Thus each principal
branch of the service is indicated.
On the reverse is also engraved the
name of the man to whom the
medal is awarded, with the dates
of his service record.

Seeing facts as they present them
selves, as we read of current events,
and she progress of science, brought
about by the development of our
resources, the demand upon us as a
pao}lle makes us feel that no time
shouId be lost on all lines of educa-
ton How can anybody say they
have no part" in that which is for
the betterment of mankind. Some
say, what is done at Washington
does not come before me and mine. :"
( Why not? Each family despite its
.humbleness, helps rorud the num-
bers Of this great nation. So no
matter the position in life, our
greatest asset is the children of our
land: 10 our mind the foundation
work begins at the tireside. DIS
cuss the business world and its do
ings With the children, teach them
by helping them to see the right
and wrong of affairs. True patriot
ism is keeping ourselves spiritually
and intellestually informed. The
young should be encouraged to
equip themselves to encounter the
great problems which progress of
time will advance. Life is full of
perpexities and grows as time adj
yances TO keep anywhere in ad-
vance, III can be done, only by an
education, and a trust in Him who
rules over all. Comes to my mind
right here, an incident of my child
hood: A young man of bright
ideals, but of poor parentage said,
i desire above riches, an educa-
1tion, my father to encourage him
said, YOU have dictionary, study
that, ac1 read your Bible to- keep

viii succeed. Those were words OF
encouragement, so expressed to me
few years ago, the person having
reached to success as business man
and a man of usefulness. To keep
good company is means OF educa-
tion. Some writer has made this
assertion. To keep bad company
is like playing with dirt, some is
sure to stick to you"
On the llth inst, near Modoc
the unidentified body of young
man with one foot severed entirely
jus. above the shoe the other limb
at the hip almost from the body and
an ugly cash in forehead was found
by engineer early freight gong
down. The railroad officials had
inquest over the body, and upon
examination, decided the killing
was accidental. In the shoe on the
severed foot was found some money
both silver and bills so crushed that
could not determine the amount,
also telegram in his coat pocket
from Central S. c., to Augusta,
Ca. by name Wiley McCallihan.
Soon the railroad was in communl-
cation with the unfortunate family.
In meantime the body was arranged
for burial, the good people of
Modoc rendering assistance, feeling
that it must be done orderly, say.
ing it was some mothers boy"
A brother came the next day and
carried the remains to Central. The
father was ill, hence the telegram
but died day of accident.
Our farmers are busy now. Some
are using guano, but not much,
The timely warning of National
President of Farmers Union should
