Au*heir at law. BY-BOOKS. 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 Marriage at Grovania. GEORGIA—Houston County. L. L. Burkor, administrator of estate of W. M.

Feb’y. 4th, 1902 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 marriage took place at the Metho dist church, which was beautifully decorated, Rev. H. O. Brow ton of Elko officiating. The contracting parties were Mr. Louis A. Shepard of Macon and Miss Mary Ellis of Grovania, 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.
