The beautiful weather of Wednes
day and Thursday last inspired the
people of Ben Hill with renewed en
ergy and every one was brimming
full of enthusiasm over the bright
prospects of success and its effect—
a library. As we anxiously opened
the shutters on Friday morning and
peered out hoping to see the brierht
pun, our hopes fell, and it was with
a saddened heart that we began our
day’s work. Was there not a thick
cloud over the face of the kind old
sun, and was that not enough to
throw a correspondly thick cloud
upon our spirits when there was to
be an oyster supper on that very
night?
Several times through the day,
however, the sun managed to escape
the clutches of the cloud. As he did
so, our spirits revived and we went
to work with the determination to
do our best and take the conse
quences.
As a result of our work, the school
house was a scene of beauty, the
walls were wreathed in smilax and
in one corner of the rostrum, meet
ing the gaze of every one who en
tered, was a fruit booth, gorgeously
decorated with vines and lighted
candles. This called forth the ad
miration of every one, for there lus
cious oranges, apples and bananas,,
were temptingly displayed. . There
were in charge of this booth two
business girlB who knew how to do
the work entrusted to them.
In an adjoining room, in view of
everyone who came in the door,
were four tables beautifully draped
with snowy linen and loaded with
all the necessities for making oysters
the most delicious of dishes. There
tables were also in charge of the
girls, who made lovely waitresses.
Here was served

In addition to these principal
modes of entertainment, there was a
piano in the building and plenty of
music was furnished by the young
ladies present. Crokinole and car-
rom boards were arranged around
the room and the games were in
dulged in freely. Mr. R. D, Ault-
man, of Dunbar, entertained the
crowd, for what seemed a very short
time, with a delightful recitation.
Although there were some un
pleasant features connected with our
home-coming, everyone affirms that
he enjoyed the evening immensely,
and we need some such experiences
to make us enjoy and appreciate the
pleasant things of life. We are sure
everyone enjoyed his warm fire and
bed more after such, an encounter
with the rain.
We are not exactly ready to at
tempt another oyster supper, but
we’ll not be discouraged, and when
warmer weather comes we’ll try
something else soon, for we’ve al
ways been taught,
“If at first you don’t succeed,
Try, try again.”
Antoinette.
Everything^ very quiet in God’s
country just now, but the people
have been up and adoing, for we
never saw farming so far advanced,
and while the work has been rapid,
at the same time it has been most
thorough, for two-horse plows were
never in such great demand, and
many farmers are using the Mallory
plows altogether, which saves a hand
and does the work to perfection.
One of the largest farmers in this
part of the county declared to me
this week that he would not plow
another furrow this month, but de
vote the time to making compost
and repairing fences, as he was so
well up with his work. Very little
guano has been hauled up to the
present.
The political announcements in the
Journal, and the new turn in state
politics, are bringing on more talk in
that line. But everybody is quiet
and conservative, believing that
there will be plenty of first-olass
material to select from to insure
safety. Many regret that there will
be no joint debates between the big
guns for office. While they recog
nize the fact that but little real good
would result from joint debates, at
the same time they would afford
lots of fun for the dear boys.
Mr. M. B. Counsell, a warehouse
man and extensive farmer of Ameri-
cus, and Mr. Beil Webb, of Ogle
thorpe, spent last week on the Hill
enjoying fox-hunting. They brought
over nineteen of the finest trained
fox hounds ever seen in this section,
and the sport was fine. There is
nothing more thrilling than to be
well mounted and watch a nimble
footed fox with his handsome brush
gracefully curled over his back dash
ing ahead of a pack of swift hounds,
and no music is so sweet to the ear
( of the true sportsman as the mellow
• voice of hounds as they follow the
track in full cry. Messrs. Oounsell
and Webb promised to come again
in a short while, and we will be
glad to have some of you spider
legged dudes come out and join us.
We can assure you that the fun is
better than your great games of
drafts, and much more exciting than
your one-cent-a-chip poker with a
dollar limit.
One of the prettiest marriages and
most superb receptions that we ever
witnessed occurred at this place last
Wednesday, February 12th. Tlhe

dist church, which was beautifully

Elko officiating. The contracting

At 5:30 o’clock,’before the assem
bling at the church, a reception was
tendered at the home of the bride’s
father, which comprised delicacies
of all kinds that could be had, and
was a feast. The decorations of the
dining room and home were elabo
rate.
The maid of honor was Miss Jim
mie Walton of Buena Vista, and the
best man Mr. W. 0. Marshall of Ma
con. The attendants were: Mr. W.
H. Lemond of Atlanta and Miss
Mary Bro\Yn of Grovania, Mr. Fred
Wonser of Chicago and Miss An
nette Perkins of Perkins, Mr. Her
bert Brunner and Miss Edith Oody.

We wish the pair much prosperity
aud happiness. Joe Bedge.

Dear Sir—Can you use some of our

the liberty of addressing you public
ly so that other citizens may avail
themselves of our offer if you do not
intend painting this spring. The
quickest way for us to get an agen
cy at your place is to have several
houses painted with L. & M. Paint;
this convinces the merchant we want
to interest Tell us size of house and
number of coats wanted, and we’ll
advise as to amount of paint we will
present to you and suggest some su
perb color combinations. Mercantile
agencies rate our capital and reputa
tion at “highest;” founded in 1857;
been making this paint 30 years;
have 3J500 agencies; sold 6 million
pounds in 1900. L. & M. Paint cov
ers more and lasts longer than lead;
