Our family was greatly saddened one morning last week when the hostler announced that he had found Lady Bess, our faithful old family horse, dead in the stable. For many years Lady Bess had done us most valuable service. Being swift, both in harness and under the saddle, and was bo perfectly gentle, it was always a great pleasure to draw the lines over her. For two years she served as school horse for the chil dren, and so devoted did she grow to them, and so true to the trust, that she would not move until she had counted ard saw that they were all seated; and it is- the proud boast of the children. that during those two years no one was ever able to ftass or drive around them. The girls rode her in many exciting fox chases, and it was a pretty sight to see the grand steed clearing the fenoos and gullies with the ease of a deer, and always bearing her rider with the fore.most of the chase. On hearing of the death of Lady Bess, her mistress was moved to tears, and insisted that a grave should be pre pared and the faithful old horse de cently buried, v LaGrippe is on the march through the land and is hitting ’em going and coming; but no severe cases re ported. Mr. Roy L. Speight, of Unadilla, was on the Hill this week. Miss Minnie Langston, who has been suffering with a light attack of pneumonia, is much better. Mr. Butler Hardison of Hender son passed over the Hill Sunday to make his weekly visit to Perry. Dr. S. S. Taylor passed over the Hill to-day, and during pleasant convocation denied the report that he would be a candidate for the sen ate, but said he may again stand for the lower house. Many people have expressed re gret that Hon. Pope Brown has withdrawn from the race for the governorship. Mr. Brown is very popular here, and his many friends were anxious for him to make the race.

Miss Bertha Peavy is in Macon this week visiting the family of her uncle, Mr. C. D. Peavy. Misses Clifford Renf roe of Dun bar and Annie Jones of Wellston, were the guestsof the Misses Graw- ford Sunday. . Mr. and Mrs. James Herring of Arlington,, spent last week with Prof. W. C. Monk and family. Mr. Boren Jackson of Char lotte, North Carolina, is at home pn a visit, after an ahsence of sev eral years. Misses Maggie and Kate War ren returned Monday, having spent last week with relatives near Powersville. * Miss Sallie V. Hill of Dunbar visited friends here last week. Mr. Walter Walton returned to his home in Yew York Saturday, having spent the week with his parents; Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wal ton. Mrs. Walton and little son will remain south for several weeks. The weather was so inclement last Friday night that very few from Byron attended the oyster supper at Ben Hill. ✓ Rev. I. F. Griffith of Macon was in town last week. -Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Hayes and little daughter, Luoile, visited relatives btfre last week. Oa account of illness, Rev. J. B. McGehee was not able to fill his appointment here Friday night and Saturday. The first quarterly conference of the Byron charge was postpon ed Saturday on account of the Big Crop of Peaches Expected. As there are more peach trees in Houston than in any other county in the world, anything concerning the prospective crop is interesting to our people.There- fore we reproduce the following from State Entomologist, W. M. Scott, who returned to Atlanta several days ago from a trip of inspection through the fruit grow ing sections of Georgia: “I have visited nearly every orchard of, any note in the state recently, and while the trees are somewhat infected with San Jose Beale, the orchard owners no lon ger fear it. I do not suppose that there is much hope of stamping it out effectually, but we have it under control, and no more or chards will be killed. ‘•Many of the orchards are iii fine condition and X have never seen so many buds before. If there is no more cold weather the peach crop in Georgia this year will be larger than ever before. I find on my travels that many new trees are being planted, and after a careful estimate, I think that as many as two million trees were set out in Georgia last year.” Mr. Scott says that crude pe troleum is being used now to spray trees infected with San Jose ecale, and the general opinion is that it works better than kerosene oil. —Judge Duncan of the Houston County court wisely says: “A po litician should be either a very poor man. or very rich. In the first instance he has nothing to lose, and in the other, he is able to stand it.” rain. v The infant daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Hugh Arnold of Dunbar was buried here Monday after noon, Rev. J. G. Cline conducted the funeral Services. Twenty-three prominent citizens of Fort Yalley have signed a peti tion asking the candidates for gov ernor to discuss the questions at is sue in a joint debate at Fort Valley, the day to be agreed upon and ap pointed by the candidates. To those who enjoy excitement such a discus sion would be intensely interesting, no doubt, but we do not believe anybody would be really benefitted. On such occasions the speakers are apt to devote too miich attention and speech to the foibles of the op posing candidates. There is but one good, in our opinion, that can result from jojut debates. Each candidate is likelybco display the quality of his temper,'and whether or not he can control it. But even that would not prove conclusively which ought to be elected governor. Hon. E. B, Lewis has introduced a bill in congress for the erection of a public building in the city of Hawkinsville; the cost of said build ing not to exceed fifty thousand dollars. Hawkinsville appreciates the interest being manifested in her behalf by our able congressman, and hopes he will be successful in his ef forts to secure for us a nice public building.—Hawkinsville Dispatch. V-O-4 The withdrawal of Pope Brown from the gubernatorial race makes it easy, we believe, for Col. Guerry to receive a majority vote in Houston county. This opinion is not deliv ered on the expansion plan. <»•«. • General agents wanted to sell Prof. Long’s Magnetic Combs.

Adjacent to Ocmul- j gee river, at points on Limestone, and Big Indian creeks, "and on the ' lime ridge traversing the county j nearly east and west, several exten sive stock farms could be establish- ; ed. It has been practically demon strated that cattle raising can be made profitable in Georgia. If the j owners of the land in question do not desire to engage alone in stock raising, a joint stock company could be formed. AND ENCYCLOPEDIA JS STATISTICAL VOLUME OF . .
