NEWSPAPER ONE HUNDRED
AND NINETEEN YEARS OLD
Little John Hamilton Has 1t. In Good
State of Preservation.

One of the oldest, if not the old
est, newspaper in Georgia is in pos
session of John Hamilton, the little
son of Mrs. A. B. Hamilton, and he is
very proud of this interesting relic of
the early days of the republic.
The paper is the Ulster County
IN. W Gazette, and was printed
Jan. 4, 1900. The most interesting
article is an account of the death of
George Washington, and the paper is
in mourning-with inverted rules
for the loss of the father of his
country"
The Gazette is a four-page four
column paper, and is in remarkably
good state of preservation. The print
ing is yet clear and distinct.

BIG YEAR is PREDICTED
FOR HUNTING POSSUMS
Persimmons Are Also Plentiful This
Season in This Section.

Season in This Section.
'Possum dogs will be in great de-
mand this fall and winter, and own
ers of these kinds of CANNES will do
well to keep them under lock and
key. The reason is the promising
prospects for one of the greatest
"crops" of possums ever grown in
Southwest Georgia. There must be a
reason, the old timers contend, and
that is also forthcoming. 1t is the
immense crop of persimmons that are
now beginning to ripen. Men who
have hunted possums in this section
for years say they do not remember
the time when both persimmons and
possums were more plentiful. With
their favorite fruit available the pos
sums will feast amply and be fat and
juicy.

FLOCK OF WILD GEESE FLY
SOUTHWARK OVER DAWSON
According to Local Prophets Cold
Weather May Now Be Expected.

The honk of wild geese attracted
attention to a flock that was flying
southwark over the city.
They circled around apparently
waiting for the rear attachments to
catch up, and when the last lot joined
the others the whole flock resumed
their flight.
It has always been said that the
passing of wild geese southwark in
the fall of the year means that cold
weather is coming, so local weather
prophets are looking for a cold spell
any day now.
