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. fdF' Cherry Balsam is sold ex clusively by Sandersvillo Drug 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.— Du Id in Courier-Dispatch. Poultry for Sale.
