We haven’t been able to get into
the game with the balance of the
Journal’s scribblers, and it was not
big laziness altogether that prevent
ed us. We made hay while the sun
shown, and the evenings are too
dull and lonesome for ns to pen any.
bright thoughts. We couldn’t even
make up a snake tale, but the dole
ful cry of a coon from near Perry,
who visited the Hill lately on busi
ness, has furnished a little amuse
ment. His business was to get pos
session of a very fine ’posBum dog
given him by Mr. D. B. Wimberly.
The dog was not at home when call-
ed for, but Mr. Wimberly was oblig
ing, and addressed a note to Mr. W.
R. Davis to deliver the dog; that
gentlem regretted very much that
he had allowed a friend at Elko to
take away the bog, bat forwarded
the order. It was learned at Elko
that a gentleman in Henderson had
borrowed the dog for a night’s hunt,
and from there he was sent out to
Hon. S S. Taylor, who in turn hur
ried the order on to Judge Haygood
at Montezuma 'before some one
could possibly get the desired dog
from him. Charley gave up the
chase there, and declares it was a
mighty poor joke, as he needed the
dog in his business, and that before
he follows the shadow of another
fifty or sixty miles he will more
thoroughly analyze the little words
underscored at the bottom of the
note to “keep the fool going,”
We regret to learn this morning
that our good neighbor, Mr. C. B.
Till, had the great misfortune to
have one of the legs of a valuable
horse broken by being kicked by an
other animal in the pasture.
We are glad to see the Journal
taking such an interest in the free
rural routes in the county. The ru
ral delivery is much desired here,
but the people have been hoodood
so often that they are slow to act.
We also hope Hon. B. M. Black
burn will get his bill through the
next legislature for the better pro
tection of the rural districts. Our
public men are indifferent to the in
terests of the people in that respect,
but Mrs. Felton’s forceful letters of
a late date advocating Mr. Black
burn’s bill should wake them up.
Crops are being gathered slowly
here, on account of the scaroity of
labor, but it will be out in good
time, as a short horse is soon cur-
ried. Everybody seems to be sell
ing the cotton seed to help out the
shortage.
Messrs. Webb and Kleokley of
Macon county were on the Hill a
few days last week.
Mr. E. B. Till visited Macon Sun
day.
Sept. 29, 1902.
Rain last week and this may have
retarded cotton picking somewhat,
but benefit to farms will come di
rectly in many respects. Sugar cane,
sweet potatoes and grass for hay
will increase their growth, with no
material injury to cotton and other
crops. But the greatese benefit will
be appreciated by the possibility
thus given for early plowing for an
increased acreage in oats and other
small grain for winter pasturage and
forage next summer. Whatever the
“drawbacks” of this crop season, the
“deficit” in food products has given
the farmers of Georgia an addition
al object lesson that they will not
forget nor ignore. All the farmers
know that they cannot be financial
ly successful if they fail to grow
food products sufficient for home
consumption. The condition now is
exceptionally favorable for the early
planting of oats and rye, and for an
increase in the wheat acreage at the
proper time.
From the Americas Times-Record-
er we learn that Hon. E. B. Lewis
has been invited by the chairman of
the congressional committee'as one
of the speakers to make several
speeches in the north and west this
fall to aid in democratic success in a
number of doubtful districts in those
sections. Congressman Griggs thinks
there are good chances of success in
many districts, but lacks speakers to
cover these territories. Mr. Lewis
may make several speeches during
the campaign.-—Hawkinsville Dis

Todies’ Nice Patent Leather
Shoes $2.50. F.M. Houser,
This week Perry; business men
have signed a petition for relief
from a series of small losses that
have oaused constant worry.
The petition recites that in
shipments of merchandise to Per
ry, especially groceries, the goods
frequently ooine up short, with,
indications plain that somebody
iad made secret appropriation of
a portion of several paokages. It
is said that there has been no
stealing of any entire paokage,.
nor of any considerable amount
at one time, but that the fre
quent shortage of small amounts
has been very annoying. j§| ’Ip
It is expressly closed that it is
not believed that any agent of the
road is knowingly responsible,but
it is believed that at stations suf
ficient care is not given to unload
ing, and that irresponsible loafers
or tricky hirelings unloading the
freight are allowed too much op
portunity to commit the petty
thieving that seems to be a tenet
of the faith and practice that up
holds so many of the colored per
suasion.
The railroad authorities of the
freight department should inves
tigate the conditions of whioh
this petition complains, and at
once apply a remedy that will
cure the evil.

—On Mr. C. A. Thurmond’s
farm, about 8 miles east of Perry,
a number of negro farm hands
sought refuge from the rain un
der a gin house. A bolt of light
ning struck the house, no damage
other than a few plank ripped off,
but the consternation of those ne
groes was ludicrous.

Soino of the Points That. Have Made
It Fighly Popular.
Woven steel wire fences are tak
ing the place of every other kind
because the right sort of a woven
wire fence is found to possess more
durability and greater economy than
any other fence that can be bought
or built. The Ellwood Steel Wire
Fence is one of the kind referred to.
It comes ready built from the facto
ry in rolls, all ready to stretch and
staple, and even if if were possible
to build a fence just as good with a
hand maohine—which it is not—
the saving in labor and cost would
more than tip the scales in favor of
the ready-built fence.
This handy fenoing can be bought
in six different heights, from 18-inCh
to 68-inch, and in a variety of styles,
from highly ornamental lawn fences
to the strong and simple field fenc
ing and a fine mesh for poultry en
closures. It has a diamond-shaped
mesh that is small near the ground,
giving crops extra good protection
againsc pigs and chickens. It is sold
by dealers in all parts of the country
and should be examined by everyone
interested in buying a fence that
