Mr. C. F. Crisp, of Americus, has
received the appointment of judge of
the Southwestern circuit vice Clark,
deceased. (Judge Crisp was after
wards elected to Congress and served
several terms as Speaker of the

with every assurance of election. He
was the father of the present Con

We have heard of good rains in
different parts of this county within
the past week, but we have not had
a “season” in Blakely for about
two weeks and gardeners are get

It has been raining practically every
day for three Weeks.)
Our friend, W. A. McDowell, was
so heartless as to step into our of
fice on Friday last, the 23rd, and
inform us that he had on that morn
ing pulled three ripe watermelons,
just as if he thought it would do us
good to hear of ripe watermelons
without seeing them. We’ll venture
another one of our friends won’t
treat us so unkindly. But we’ll for
give Mac if he’ll just put the best
melon he has in his buggy every
time he comes to town during the
season and bring it to the News
office.

This wise crack was handed out
[by Sam Morton in his Miller County
(Department: “A great many young
[ men persist in declining matrmony
lon account of the expenses in house
ikeeping. They don’t.understand the
I subject. All that is needed to com
■ mence housekeeping with is a ta
' ble, three chairs (one for company),
ja cheap bedstead, a cradle, a young
woman and a good mattress. With
' these and a stout heart to cheer

! character can enter into matrimony
[too soon.”
According to the Danbury News
etiquette, you should “never fish for
the last oyster in your soup.” But
[when you are at a church festival
and the last oyster in your soup is
always the first, etiquette must go
under and the oyster must come up.
(This reminds this scribe of an inci
dent that happened at a church oys
ter supper in the old court house.
The late H. Q. Frazier, who died a
few years ago at Dothan, once mer
chandised in Blakely for a number
of years. He was among those pres
ent at the oyster supper and in the
midst of the festivities was heard to
exclaim in a loud voice: “Huh! I had
one oyster in my soup, but when I
went to get him with my spoon he
‘div’ and now I can’t find him!”
