sInners warned to
keep off the grass.
County Authorities
lo Keep Court House
Yard Pretty.
Washing" n county never had a
cniirt house yard until this year,
because spring never came before
slid found anything it was willing
to exert its powers to beautify.
Heretofore the court house yard
has resembled a wagon yard more
than grounds about a court house.
\\ o are proud of tho change.
Indeed, Tiik Herald has more
cause to bo proud, so our friends
ea v. thou some others, but leaving
out the consideration that wo
called public attention first, last
and all the time to improving
and beautifying the courthouse
grounds, "< are proud of it be-
cftl iso it is good to have a nico
wrll .kept court house yard to
look at.
Now, tho most important thing
to do i- to keep the yard pretty
and this cannot be done if people
walk and trample on it, at least
for a while umluntil there is a full
growth of well kept grass. Even
then tin- children should only be
allowed to use it for a park and a
play ground occasionally, And on
stated occasions.
W'luit is bettor, the authorities
have so decided and all sinners are
warned to keep oil' the grass by
several signs which rend “Sinner,
you can't cross here.”
Of course any saint or celestial
visitor may trample on the grass,
but just an ordinary sinful human
being had better be careful.
We congratulate the authorities
on their determination to make
beautiful and keep beautiful the
court house grounds.

HAPP & PARIS CO.
In the plan of campaign mapped
out by The Herald manager of
making a canvass of the county
in the interest of The Herald and
its new job printing establishment
ho was a visitor to Harrison Fri
day of last week.
In order to see the people, the
trip was made through the coun
try and the farmers were met at
their homes. The manager was
very cordially greeted by each one
of the citizens whom he met and
was quite agreeably shown by all
of them their appreciation of The
Herald and many who formerly
were not subscribers will read this
issue of The Herald and have
become subscribers for a year.
The farmers are well up with
their work throughout this section
of the county and were taking
advantage of the good weather.
Many were found in the fields.
Evidently the manager was taken
for a candidate in several instan
ces and as soon as this idea was
dispelled were willing and patient
listeners.
Harrison’s growth during the
past five years has been phenom-
mal. Many new. residences and
handsome brick store rooms, a
bank and other enterprises bear
witness to the progress of the
town. Even on Friday there was
a large number of people in town
hauling out guano and farm sup
plies, and everything seemed to
indicate that Harrison is a good
business point.
What strikes tho visitor most,
however, is the culture and refine
ment of the people, the neat and
attractive homes and store rooms,
the evident interest in education
and school work and tho intelli
gence of the citizens.
A two story handsomely ap
pointed school house is the most
conspicuous and attractive build
ing, and with little doubt, we are
sure, the best in Georgia for the
size of the town and one that not
only rellccts credit on the town,
but shows a lively interest in ed
ucation and tin* children, unusual
even in this wide awake and pro
gressive section of the slate. The
people are proud of their school,
as well they may be, because the
school is regarded as one of the
best of the high schools of middle
Georgia.
One of the handsomest drug
store rooms in the county is seen
at Harrison, the bank building is
a neat and attractive building and
the bunk is doing a conservative
and successful business.
The stores are fitted up in the
naiiio good style and taste as are
city stores and the merchants are
good business men.
The Herald has many warm
friends at Harrison and m that
section and the manager felt on
his return that he had spent the
time with friends.
We invite attention to the ad
vertisement of Mr. Brantley, one
of the leading merchants and one
of the county’s best men, in this
issue and thank a number of them
for orders for the best job print
ing.
Yesterday afternoon at the
Methodist church Bov. L. XV. Col
son gave card playing some hard
raps. He used a good deal of
irony in his remarks. He said
that some women excused them
selves for attending card parties
by being regular attendants at
church. The sons of Ham, said
the speaker, do tho same thing.
In the early part of the night they
can work up much religious fervor,
shout very loud, sing with much
action and pray fervently, and
will then go home via somebody’s
hen house.
The protracted meeting has
reached the second week. Rev.
L. W. Colson continues to preach
some strong sermons. He is a
very earnest man, and is doing a
good work. All who have heard
him preach have become very
much impressed with him. Tlioso
who have met him in asocial way
are delighted with him.
It is not kiiown how much long
er the mooting will last. Certainly
it will continue through this week.
It is possible that Hie meeting
will not end with this week.
The largest congregations are at
night. The afternoon services are
interesting, however, and last for
just an hour. On Sunday morn
ing and night the church was
crowded almost to its capacity.—
