The People’s Advocate, published
at Atlanta, has the following compli¬
mentary notice of the Hamilton dele¬
gation to the W. C. T. U. at Augusta:
“The charming Misses Lula Mobley
and Lula Barnes, of Hamilton, Ga,
were greatly admired by those who
had the pleasure of their acquaint¬
ance. They were the special guests
of Mrs. Sibley.”
One of our society belles was made

A letter ■passed through our post

curious superscription:—“Mr. -—-

The attendance upon the West
Georgia A. & M. College is greater
than at any time in its history. Pres¬
ident Pucke’te thinks of publishing a
catalogue this summer, which it is
confidently predicted will contain the
names of not le .s than one hundred
fifty pupils. 'J he institution is de¬
serving of the highest suc e-.s.
Our new job press is expected this

The Macon Telegraph thinks the
fruit crop of Harris ought to be worth
over fifty thousand dollars a year,
when it hits. So it ought and so it
would be if our people would only
use the proper means in raising, pre¬
serving and marketing it.
It is about time for the oldest citi¬
zen to remark that this is the most
backward spring he has known since

Miss Alice Lovelace, daughter of
Mr. Jas. Lovelace, one of our most
esteemed citizens, and one of our
most accomplished ladies, is teaching
a school at County Line church in
Troup county.
Hal Bryant continues to supply
the Hamilton market with the best
beef that can be obtained anywhere.
He should be liberally patronized for
his enterprise.
What has become of it ? A gen¬
tleman representing a New York loan
association has loaned $160,000 to
Harris county farmers without per¬
ceptibly diminishing the stringency
of the times. Will the tax books
tiiis summer show the whereabouts of
all this money?
Hamilton’s No. 1 Fire Company
will attend the fireman’s parade in
Columbus in April. The boys are
determined too upon bringing home
with them as a trophy the first prize.
Last year they came within a quarter
of a second of winning in a contest
with a specially trained crew, picked
for speed from the entire fire depart¬
ment of Columbus. They will be
prepared to do better' than ever at
the approaching contest and we pre- j
diet success for them.

About the Mule.
Standing upon the side walk at
noon Saturday, in a group of citizens,
one a preacher, another a county d'g
nitary and the latter a leading busi
ness man and retired farmer, ye re
porter, his ear attuned for anything
calculated to fill an aching void in ye
local columns mentally dotted down
An incident led c Cl to the topic,
A wagon was stan 9 ^ c g near b v> the
j ea d mule of which had cast his bri
dle> that he m . ght the better partake
of the fodder spread for his repast.
n,e dri\ er and his boss approached
» "f “ “» bri f ”“!'
showed he was a mule by h his manly
effort to stop the proceedings, and
the negro driver showed the peculiar
fitness of thg negro f or tbe manage
of r the mule, by his ...
ment vim in con
quering the obstreperous animal.
ter being swung around a circle per
haps a dozen times, the driver finish¬
ed his task.
“The mule is made for the negro
and the negro for the mule,” observed
the preacher.
“Yes,” consented the ex-farmer.
“They never reason. I had a mule
once that could only be bridled . by
approaching him from the front with
the head stall ready. He could be
very easily bridled in this way, but
nobody who came up on the side or
in any other manner could bridle
him.”
“Cardwell had a mulp,” observed
the county dignitary, “that was very
hard to bridle. He was on the street
out there one night when I noticed
he had slipped his bridle. I went
up and tried to put it on, but he lift
ed me up liice that mule did that
nigger and whirled around. Flynn H.
was standing by and the mule swung
me around and struck me against
Flynn,knocking him a complete som
mersault."
“Its astonishing,” meditated the
preacher, “how little sense the mule
has in some things and how much
in others. There is a mule on my
place that can unlatch a gate about
as well as I can.”
“Yes or pull out a pin.”
“My father had one that could get
in the crib any time if the key was
left in the door.”
“Yes,” reflected the official—but
the working of his facial muscles
showed the strain at once upon his
brain ai d cor.cience and his audi
anct: kindly dissolved.
;Tl»e lioada.
Road working, in view of the ap
proaching session of the Superior
Court, is becoming general through
out the county.
The roads are worked after a man
tier—the manner of the ancients.
They are given “a lick and a prom .
ise.”
While we do not propose to cham
pion the road law passed by the la t
legislature, we hope its claims will
meet with due consideration by ti e
next grand jury.
Good roads would greatly enhance
the value of all property throughout
the county. It would be wise then
to tax the property to improVw the
roads.
No country can have good roads
that depends upon the laborers al
together for their support. Such a j
founded _ ii the i *
system IS not upon prin
ciples of justice.
Under our present law the man
with no no property and but little
use for roads, is taxed equally for
their maintenance with the largest
property holder, whose interest in
theni is incalculable.
It one refuses to contribute his
assessment for the support of the
county poor, the maintenance of
public bridges, public schools, or oth¬
er claims of county or state, none of
less importance than public roads,
his property alone is liable.
But if he would preserve his per¬
liberty he must work the public
roads.
To fail in the discharge of the
is a misfortune, to fail in tK
is a crime.
Such an unjust law must prove
Any one founded
of justice and libert'
superior.

Church Topics.
Rev. S. Maxwell preached at the
Baptist church Saturday morning.
An effort is on foot to have Rev.
G. W. Maxson come over from Au
burn and preach to the Presbyleiian
church at an early date.
Rev. Jos. Key, P. E., will preach
at our Methodist church on the fifth
pointmeut of Kev. B. Anthony at
this place. He will have a fail house
if the weather will permit.
.
Rev. A. B. Campbell, agent for
Mercer University, preached a very
ab.e sermon at the Baptist church
fY tion. He e “"l"diletho is a divine who ta'Zy has many
admirers in our community and we
can always answer for a full house
whenever he is announced to preach.
The day was one of the most
beautiful with which we have been
blessed this season.
Lock Boxes.
We inadvertently failed to note
lasc week the great improvement in
our post office affected by our enter
prising post-master, Mr. J. L. Black
mon. He has added to the office
furniture thirty lock-boxes, This
marks an efa jn the progress of the
town and indicates our substantial
growth. The post-office speaks for
^ enlightenment of a comm unity in
nQ uncertain tones and it gives us
pleasure to know that our office is a
credit to us.
Job Printing:.
Last week we forwarded an order
for one of the most improved job
presses made, that will enable us to
do job printing as fast and as well as
any office in the state. We have al
so ordered a full stock of stationery,
which with an invoice of new type
and material just received, enable us
to guarantee prices lower than any
body. Your patronage is solicited
and your orders will have prompt at
tention.

We are informed that Gol. R. G.
Humber, of Putnam, will be a candi
date for this office before our next
legislature, Col. Spear declining a
re-election. It goes without saying
that th,s is an oitice of g rave res P or >
sibllit y and requires for its proper ad¬
ministration a person peculiarly en
dowed. Such we believe Col. llum
her to be—one more so it would be
difficult to find within our borders.
The salary of the office is greatly out
of proportion to its responsibility,but
to be entrusted with its duties is a
compliment of the highest order,
