Another Oyster Supper. By Joe Bedge, Sunday evening at the church the Grovama Juveniles gave a "Welcome Thanksgiving” to all. The exercises among the congregation wenotioed quite a number from our neighbor town, Elko, and several .from Cor- dele and other points. The exer- oises were good, and each and all re cited their parts well, and deserved much praise and commendation for their nice behavior and lovely ap pearance. Mrs. J. J. Houser, mana ger of the Juveuilea, deserves much credit for training and instructing the children for this mission. The occasion was enjoyed, and will long be remembered. May the Juveniles and their manager prosper happily, and may their example be followed: The program was as follows: Song. Prayer by Mrs. J, J. Houser. Responsive Reading. Song. Roll call and payment of dues. Minutes of last meeting. Report of Treasurer. Song. Recitation by Jim Stewart. Recitation by Minnie Lee Means. Exercise,"What a penny teaches.” Recitation by Maggie Ellis, Recitation by Olara Rentz. Exercise—Ten little members. Recitation by Master Lee Brown. Recitation by little Miss Jessie Riley, Song. Recitation by Master Robert Baird. Recitation by Katie Riley.* Exercise—"Who Will Serve the King?” Recitation by Viola Riley. "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow” and Benediction. I am informed that Mr. W. S. Ri ley has bought out Mr. Z. B. Means who lives near Grovauia. Mr, Means, I learn, has purchased a home at Finleyson in Pulaski county, and will engage in the mercantile busi ness. We regret to lose Mr. Means as a citizen, but commend him to Pulaski county as an upright, high- toned Christian gentleman. Our clever and efficient depot agent is wearing an unusually broad smile—a ten-pound boy. Mr. W. G. Fitzgerald was heard to exclaim, "Whoopee, by jingo, Mine is a girl,”—an eight pounder,: Well, prosperity seems to be it; our midst. New buggies, new mules,j new clothes and new babies. Mr. Willie Van Bell and hi3 moth-j er, Mrs. Henry Payne, were the guests of Mrs. W. H. Roberts Sun-! day. Miss Mary Riley, who is attend-! ing school at Hawkinsville, spent; Saturday and Sunday with home- folks, and during that time Miss] Brewton of Elko was her guest. Mr. Lucius Polhill and wife of; Hawkinsville visited the family of Mr. J. G. Brown Sunday. Miss Jennie Echols of Milledgei ville is visiting the family of Mr. Peter Pinkerton at Hayneville. Misses Luella andjMary Shipp, ac companied by Messrs. J. J. Pas- chall and E. Roebuck of Cordele were the guests at the home of Mr. S. F. Bivins Sunday. Mr. Robert B. Gilbert of Green ville was to see his mother, who was quite sick, several days ago. The largestjsweet potatoes we have ever eaten or looked at were grown this year by Jake Bass, a negro farmer. Depending on the sincerity of the a ople in olaiming that the previous 3 ter supper was greatly enjoyed id that another would be "just the that you with Miss Julia Rents as organist n g ' 0el “ ,m S M A goodly number »ill not "weary in well-cL._ 0 , 6, ou y number attended, and itispeotfnll, beg the attention if the public to the following announce ment: There will be another oyster sup per, at the home of Mr. W. J. Oheek, for the* purpose of supple- enting the amount which was ade at the last. As before, the ysters, coffee, cream and cake will e juBt right, and that means a great deal. To this hot chocolate vyill be added, f So far everyone seems well pleas ed, and went avfray feeling that they |iad gotten their money’s worth, and We intend to keep up our reputatiou. Remember, Mr. W. J. Cheek’s, December 2nd, 1902. tbe differ- rnine operators . It now appears that Cnees between the and tbe miners of the anthracite al region will be settled between hemselves. Last week the.arbitra- ion commission was asked to sus- end its hearings for a week o." ten ays, in order that a basis of agree- ent that had been proposed ihight e carefully considered. While the omomsion agreed to this, it was declared that the commissioners would pass judgment upon whatev er terms of settlement are agreed upon. The basis of settlement is a compromise, granting a measure of the demands of the miners. Singe 1889 the total tax value of all property in Georgia, except rail roads, telegraph companies, etc.,, in creased from $226,998,419 to $410,- 417,180, an increase of $184,418,- 761. From 1889 to 1892 there was decrease each year, and the in- About ten days ago a woman, Mrs. Lena Doxheimmer, whose residence is in Hoboken, N. Y., revealed an al leged plot by anarchists to kill Pres ident Roosevelt, stating that lots for the purpose were drawn. Last week the woman asked for police protec tion against the vengeance of her former anarchist associates, who had threatened her life, she declared. At Washington the secret service chief says that there has been no plot to kill the president, and that the in former was mistaken as to facts.

A. J .builds of Concentrated Soups 10c per can at W. B, Sims’. crease noted above has really come since 1892. Yet there has not been a proportionate reduction of the tax rate. Those who control have al lowed the expenses to increase too regularly. Such proceedings are dis tressingly monotonous to the tax payers. Two more giant locomotive en gines for the Central railroad passed through Macon enroute to Savannah last Sunday. They are duplicates of the two received last week, are des ignated as 1604 and 1606, weigh 200,000 pounds each and will pull mail and passenger trains on a sched ule of 60 miles an hour. In its equipment the Central uses the best. In a riot caused by strikers in Ha vana, Cuba, last Monday, two men were killed and eighty wounded. It was reported that the riots were caused by animosity to Americans, but President Palma cabled to Washington that the reports are ab solutely untrue. Editob Heabst of New York is be ing talked of as a democratic candi date for the presidency. He is able, true to his convictions, energetic and rich,and altogether his qualifica tions are superior to those of Cleve land or Hill. Hon. Wabneb Hill of Newnan, former law partner afld campaign manager of Gov. Terrell, - has been appointed state railroad commission er to succeed Judge Spenoer R. At kinson. It is reported from Chicago that members of the Aster family have contracted for the purchase of min ing property in Mexico, for which, it is said, they will pay $2,000,000.
