this week.
Mart Toole went to Donalson
ville Thursday.
Mr. J. G. Reese has a very sick
child at this writing.
Mrs. C. F. Beard is convalescent

Farmers are beginning to plow

O. H. Easom, J. J. Hill and Bart
Hays attended court this week.
Miss Ida McMullen accompanied
Miss Coral Hammack home Friday
evening.
We are having some cool, windy
weather, but hope that the fruit
will escape injury.
Our school will soon end. We
give our efficient teachers praise
for their good and faithful services.
Mrs. Dred Hayes is visiting her
parents out in the state of Miller
this we ek. Dred looks like a wid
ower.
A few of our people tried to have
a fish fry at Howard’s mill Satur
day. Mr. Fish didn’t fry. Bad
luck reported, as we expected.
One of Jakin’s young men came
out to Killarney and took Miss
Coral Hammack to a moon light
picnic. That’s a kind of nicpic we
never heard tell of before in these
diggins. Bill Snipes.
Makes a Clean Sweep.
There’s nothing like doing a
thing throughly. Os all the salve
you ever heard of, Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve is the best. It sweeps away
and cures burns, sores, bruises cuts,
boils, ulcers, skin eruptions and
piles. It’s only 25c, and guaran-
give satisfaction by L. C.
Strong, Druggist.

BY SOUTHERNER.
Fitzhugh, Ga., April 21, 1903.
Editor Early County News :
Brunette, we endorse all you
said concerning G. M. S.
Rev. J. E. Dykes and son, Har
ry, of Clay county, are visiting in
our burg at this writing.
Our people are about through
planting their crops and the next
thing on the program is chopping
cotton.
Miss Alice George visited ri la
tives in Kestler Saturday and was
accompanied home by her mother,
who has been spending several
days there with relatives.
The little baby of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Houston died Sunday
evening. The remains were in
terred at the Houston cemetery
Sunday evening. It was an an
gel that visited the earth and took
the flower to Heaven.
We notice in the grand jury’s
presentments that the present
method of working the pubhc
roads is likely to be discontinued.
If Early goes back to the old sys
tem it will be a long step back
ward.
Everybody is expecting a good
time at the New Hope school pic
nic on Friday, the first day of May,
at the Dry Creek bridge. Every
body is invited to come and bring
full baskets. Sager, we would
like to see your pleasant face
among the crowd, also the same
to Easter Lily, Brunette and the
other correspondents.
I wish these mosquitoes were
dead. Mosquito nets at the Em
pire Store.

BLAKELY. GA.. THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 23 1903.
PROGRAMME=
Short Stops*
Mr. Roy Thompson went ¥
Milledgeville Tuesday to carry
I Amelia Winton, colored, to the
\ state sanitarium.
The Chautauqua edition of the
Albany Herald issued last Sunday
was a gem. If the Chautauqua it
self comes up to the pattern set for
it by the Herald it will be great.
Miss Daisy Deal and Mrs. T. R/
McDonald left this morning for
Columbus, representing the Home
Mission Society which will hold
its annual meeting there tomor
row.
The Knights of Pythias will
hold their regular meeting next
Monday night. This is the last
meeting of the lodge before their
entertainment on the night of May
Ist and it is hoped that there will
be a full turn out of the member
ship to make the final arrange
ments for that affair.
Mr. C. C. Tyler was in the
city Tuesday and held an examina
tion of the applicants for the rural
.route from Blakely to Lucile and
neighborhood. The applicants are
Messrs. L. C. Spence, Leon Smith,
Sam R. Lindsey and Ralph Hobbs.
Mr. Tyler informed us he would re
commend the establishment of the
route as mapped out by the peti
tioners.
The Georgia Chautauqua opens
at Albany next Sunday, the 26th,
and continues until Sunday May
3rd. That is announcement enough
for the people of Blakely and other
communities in southwest Georgia.
Not once in the fourteen past
years has the Chautauqua man
agement put up a poor entertain
ment and the number of visitors
grows with each recurring assem
bly.
A crowded house greeted Helen
May Butler’s Military Band at the
auditorium last Friday night. In
fact it was about as good an audi
ence as we ever saw at a pay en
tertainment in Blakely, and they
were seemingly not disappointed
at the quality of music furnished
by the band, which was composed
of a dozen ladies, with Helen May
Butler as director. This was the
last entertainment of the Lyceum
course and we will have no more
shows until next fall. We trust
that the local Lyceum has been
sufficiently successfully the past
-eason to make it easy for it to be
reorganized next season.
News From Freeman.
' Freeman, Ga., April 21, 1903
jjjditor Early County News:
When health is gone and suffering]
conies,
The sense of joy,pain soon benumbs,
And in despairlthat life is bowed
Till death sends its sepulchral shroud;
Till hope and peace on earth hath
flown,
And the heart once glad in woe hath
grow n;
Till God’s mandate away doth pave
To hallowed peace beyond the grave.
Mrs. T. H. Grayson, of Hilton,
was in Freeman Sunday visiting
relalives.
Mr. J. C. Neeves, of the Fort
Gaines road, passed through this
place last week.
Miss Eleanor Spence, of Lucile,
paid home folks a visit Sunday.
She was accompanied by Miss Shef
field of the same place.
Mesdames G. M. Stephens and
M. S. Freeman were in Blakely
last week a-doin’ of a litttle bar
gainin’, and incidentally visited the
latter’s sister, Mrs. Eugenia Brun
son, who resides a mile or so from
town.
With an abundance of nature’s
gifts, pure air, and the green clad
scenery, to enthrall the senses, and
with vegetables, fried chicken, and
blackberries in the near future, the
country folk has no license to com
plain.
Among those attending upon the
quarterly meeting of the Method
ists at Hilton Sunday were, Mr.
and Mrs. Jos. Freeman, Mr. R. G.
Freeman, Messrs. Tom and Bob
Freeman and family, Mr. Cliff Fol
som, and Mr. Lunus Roberts, all of
whom carried full baskets to the
bountiful dinner served on the side.
The way in which the News is
rounding into its deserved state of
efficiency is meeting with the at
tention of the country people, and
likewise their praise. This achieve
ment can only be attributed to the
overflow-tide of advancement along
all lines that is carrying our county
metropolis onward to an attainment
of even greater prosperity than that
she is now enjoying. A town’s
newspapers are an index to her con
dition, whether for woe or weal.
In the same vanguard of succes or
trail of adversitv each travel in an
identical atmosphere—on an equal
foot hold. For the manifestation
of Blakely’s ‘'Atlanta spirit” no
influence deserves greater credit
than its newspapers, who in keep
ing with the traditions of newspa
perdom,judging from their columns,
have given their whole power to
the progress of the town.
