I find Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is an excellent medicine.
I have been suffering with a se
vere cough for * the last two
months, and it has effected a
cure. I'have great pleasure in
recommending it.-—W. 0. Wock-
ner. This is the opinion of one
of our oldest and most respected
residents, and has been voluntari
ly given in good faith that others
may try the remedy and be bene-
fitted as was Mr. Wockner. This
remedy is sold by all dealers in
Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron.

• Mpssy Hill Notes.
BY SOCKS
Not long since, a traveler stopped
on the Hill oyer night. Next morn
ing she asked to be allowed to pay
for her lodging in prayer, declaring
sne had performed great wonders by
prayer. On the gentleman’s farm
was a little negro ,whose legs were
all twisted, and set coming and go
ing. The traveler was informed
that she had the opportunity to per
form a great wonder, and if she
straightened up the coon her bill
would be considered settled. She
did considerable whispering and as
sured Ben. that if he wonld only
have faith lie’d certainly come out
of the kinks. But, it is presumed
that Ben. didn’t get up a sufficient
amount of faith, as his pegs still
have the same old set.
The farmers on the Hill are at it
again; considerably disfigured from
last year’s experiments, but still in
the ring. The labor question- is still
worrying those who have no laborers.
I know of one ten-mule farm with
only one bund on it, aud a 7-raule
farm with but two. Still there is
some life in the old land, for on last
Thursday Mr. E. B. Till, one of the
best farmers on the Hill, entertained
a number of his friends at a six
o’clock dining. Eight gentlemen
from Perry were among the party,
and if there is any doubt about it
being a dinner right, just ask any of
them. Not only the elegant dinner,
but the entire evening was immense
ly enjoyed by all, and as we sipped
our last best wishes, it was that Mr.
Till would live always. But why not
let us keep the ball rolling and have
a little spice along.in this humdrum
life? The motion has been seconded
and carried, and I have authority
to toll the boyBgthat as soon as the
sap begins to rise so that our grape
vine telephone will work, you will
be called again together on the Old
Hill to offer your intentions.
Politics is very quiet on the Hill.
All our aspirants for the governor
ship and congress are sawing wo6d
and laying low for the present. But
look out, there is no telling where
the lightning may hit.
Mr. Will Jones of Macon was on
the Hill a few days last week, and
while here enjoyed a fine cat. race.
Mr. Su-rp B. Goodwin, of nea
Marshallvilie, was on the Hillashor
while to-day.
Mr. F. K. Till returned to Macon
to-day, after a visit to his relatives
here.

Rigsby—Smith.
Mr. Thomas Rigsby of Powers-
ville and Miss Fannie Smith of Ma
con county were married Sunday,
19th inst*, at 11 o’clock, Rev. J. M.
King performing the ceremony.
The marriage was a lovely home
affair, at which only intimate friends
of the families were present. Many
lovely gifts and sincere wishes for a
happy future were given Mr. Rigsby
and his fair bride.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Smith of Macon
county. Mr. Smith is one Macon’s
most .prosperous farmers, a man who
lives at home and boards at the same
place. The bride was married in a
lovely gown of brown broadcloth.
Mr. Orman Gannon with Miss Ed
na Harris, and Mr. Jim Daniel with
Miss Fannie Epting were the at
tendants. The bridesmaids' were
beautifully dressed,' and looked the
picture of loveliness.
The bride is a very popular young
lady and her friends are numbered
by her acquaintances.
The groom is a son of Mr. M. G.
Rigsby. Ho is a young man of fine
qualities; honorable and upright m
all his dealings.
After the marriage a sumptuous
dinner was given at the home of the
bride, after which the happy young
couple, accompanied by a few
friends, drove through the country
to the home of the groom’s uncle
and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. T. H.
Brown, where a reception was ten

Hobson Institute.
The school at Hobson Institute is
in a flourishing condition, under the
management of Prof. W. N. Hart
and Miss Nettie Champion. It open
ed first Monday with 60 pupils, and
by Friday had increased to 73. To
day, second Mondas', there are 93,
hnd* we are anticipating a - similar
increase by next Friday,
Prof. Hart taught here two .months
before Christmas, and every one
seems to have found out what an
able teacher he is; the consequence
being the school is larger than ever
before.
If the school continues to increase
for the next two weekB as it has.for
the past two, we will have' to call in
another assistant.
We can safely Bay that no other
teacher having as many small ones
to manage as Miss Nettie can excel
her in doing justice to all.
We hope our music teacher will
soon get up her class. and begin
teaching, as it will add so muoh to
our already excellent school!.

An extensive stock farm could be
profitably conducted in either of
several localities in Houston, It has
been demonstrated that cattle and
hogs can be profitably raised in
large numbers in southwest Georgia
for the general market. In ssveral
sections of this county there are
large bodies of land that have been
practically abandoned as farms, all
of which furnish excellent natural
pasturage. An energetic man of
good business acquirements could
secure options ’and easily form a
strong stock company, ’•
