REV. J. B. CULPEPPER
DELIVERS SERMON.
Was on Washington Cir
cuit Some Years Ago.
Has Many Friends.
Rev. J. B. Culpepper, one of the
most enthusiatic ministers in the
state, preached two very fine ser
mons at tlie Methodist church last
Sunday morning and night, which
were enjoyed by large congrega
tions at both services. Rev. Cul
pepper served the \\ asliington
county circuit several years ago
and has a host of friends through
out this section who are always
glad to hear his discourses.
About fifteen years ago lie con
ducted one of the most successful
revival in the history of Sonders-
villo, at which time a number of
people were converted and joined
the different churches here. For
many years lie lias been doing
evangelical work, using tents to
conduct services in and has been
the instrument in showing hun
dreds of people the folly of a sin
ful life.
He is indeed a most ardent and
true divine and the title of Rev
erend is fittingly bestowed.

Mr. O. F. MaRee of Vinson lias

ing pea bay.
He will make this year two
hundred tons on as many acres,
which is worth on the market $20
per ton.
On Tuesday last he shipped two
cars of hay from Vinson, one car
to Dublin and another to Macon.
The hay shipped here was con
signed to the Orr-Smith Grocery
Company, and is the prettiest lot
of hay ever seen here. Mr. Mc-
Ree is proud of tho excellent
quality of tho hay raised, and
took pride in showing the hay to
some of his friends.
Tho liny shipped by Mr. McRee
to Macon is believed to bo the
first car of home-raised hay ever
shipped out of the county, and
Mr. McRee is to be congratulated
most heartily.
Mr. McRee will dispose of one
hundred tons of hay, and will keep
the remainder for his own use.
Raising hay is more profitable
than cotton or corn, being pro
duced with less expense.—Dublin

Exciting Runaway.
Last Monday morning while
M. Newman’s porter was deliver
ing groceries on Harris street, the
horse became frightened and pro
ceeded to run.
When the horse started it pitch
ed the negro down between the
front axle and tho cross piece of
the shaft where he was held sus
pended with the horse going at a
rapid rate. Several bystanders
thought that he would surely be
killed but by a streak of “nigger-
luck” he escaped without a
scratch.
No damage was done to the
team.
Jackson has lots of new things in his
advertisement this week. He believes
and knows that to tell the Deople
where to get what they want they will
ge for it. Head his advertisement and

For Goodness Sake
Buy your harness where goodness is evident in every set.
Finish isn’t the only thing to consider. Some harness looks
like a picture but wears like a tintype.
Ours is in the long-wear class.
Because when we made the contract for our 1908 stock
we made quality and durability the watchword. Then by
placing one of the largest orders the agent ever took for the
particular goods we selected, we succeeded in getting the fin
ish and style included with hardly any advance in cost.
Right here’s where you win; for this line of harness
which we offer for spring trade is just a little bit ahead of
anything around these parts. Needn’t take our word for it.
The goods can be seen any day. If you can do better else
where we don’t expect your patronage. All we want is a
show.
Come in any time—the sooner the better.
Look all you want to—looks are free. Buy only when
you are satisfied.
