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 patch. *• 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.

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. ——- —If all buyers of farm products were as actively competitive as the cotton seed buyers of Perry are, farmers would get the top price for everything fcney have for sale. — —C.

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 fences at a low pricb. --You’ll get a 50 cents meal for 25 cents at Isaac’s Cafe,Third street, Macon, Ga.
