Washington, April 9, 1888.
Jordan dc Pope.
As before intimated in these col
umns Mr. W. M. Jordan formerly of
Sibley A Jordan, an<| Mr. Fred B.
Pope of this place, have formed a part
nership under the firm name at the
head of this article. A more popular
man than Mr. Jordan has never been
In the ootton business in Augusta.
He has rendered himself so by ma
king himself thoroughly familiar
with the business, and by looking af
ter the business of ail who have en
trusted their interests to him with
the greatest care. Mr. Pope is well
known by our people among whom
he has always lived, and a more
energetic and industrious man Wilkes
oounty neyer produced. Jordan A
Pope, with their fine facilities, make a
remarkably strong firm.
Mallorysvllle Dots.
Mr. D. N. Brooks of Mallorysville,
has a pet squirrel that an old cat
tosk up and put with her kittens,
and she takes the same care of it as
one of her own family. This is some
thing remarkable. Mr. Brooks also
has a white rat as a pet.
Mr. T. P. Wright lost liis heart in
the mountains of North Georgia, and
says it is a cool place to bunt it in the
the summer. He now lias the con
victs workiag for him so he can get
off in July and August.
The farmers are very much behind;
only a few have planted any cotton.
Some of our farmers nro trying Fur
man’s modus opernndi to some extent.
Mr. A. S. Woollen says his cows
have eaten fifty tons of shucks this
winter. His bottom lands are fine, as
the shucks were home-raised.
Mrs. Moss has o iiog that duos not
like the country, so it went to Wash
ington, and is now hoarding at Mr. T.
B. Green’s stable.
If a man does not think lie can
be stuck, let him try the roads now
with an ordinary team.
Wo should prepare ourselves to
work the roads better this summer,
as it is cheaper than making three
trips for what could be brought at
one trip. I guess all the farmers will
agree with me.
Last, ' Monday was a rainy day in
the true sense of the word.
Miss Mattie Biuith lias returned
from a visit to Augusta, and the hoys
are smiling, as sho is the life of Hie
neighborhood.
Mr. W. J. Smith returned from
Augusta this week on account of Ids
health. Hope he will soon recover.
