ADEL, BERRIEN CO., GEORGIA, FRIDAY, May 3 I, 1001.
White Springs Excursion.
The picnic excursion to White
Springs last Saturday was more
than a success from several points
of* view. The attendance was
about double what was expected
and therefore the train was
crowded ro its utmost capacity.
The crowd was a jolly good-na¬
tured one and the morning ride
down there was thoroughly en-
joyed.
Arriving there a little after ten
o’clock the happy throng pro-
ceeded to the springs and then
soon covered the town fiom Dan
to Bearsheba. The visitors out¬
numbered the home folks and
they were appreciated for every¬
body had a few dimes or dollars
to spend for cool drinks and light
refreshments.
The springs were in fine con-
d it ion and were full of drinkers
and bathers all day, the river
outside being thronged with
those who wanted a little room to
swim.
The lunch baskets were looked
up in due season and the dinner
hour was celebrated at such times
and places as suited the various
appetites and fancies. A num¬
ber who had failed to provide
these, substantials went to the
different hotels and were treated
to n White Springs dinner.
The afternoon was whiled
away, each couple or group see-
ing different sights at, different
times and places. The pictur¬
esque resort was seen in all its
beauty and was the admired of
alt admirers.
The anticipated ball game be- !
tween the Tifton and Adel teams
.lid not take place. No suitable
grounds could bo found and with
much regret by all present the
game had to be called off.
The somewhat exhausted crowd
was ready for the homeward ride
when the time for departure ar¬
rived and when the coaches were
unlocked there was a great rush
for scats. A number rff men and
boys had already climbed in at
the car windows and had taken
up much of the seating room.
We say this much to their dis¬
credit but it is a fact that they
persistently held to these seats
while numbers of ladies and chil¬
dren were compelled to stand all
the way home.
A few of the party tarried a
little too long about town and
were left, while a number of
others remained over until the
next train from choice.
There were a few jolts and in¬
cidents to mar the otherwise
happy day but nothing serious or
more than was to be expected,
considering the close proximity
of the little cheap saloon just
across the river. So long as this
poison shop stands, it w ill con-
siderably lessen the desirability
of White Springs as a picnic re¬
sort.
There is some criticism against
the promoters of the excursion
in not providing more coaches
but they efid net anticipate such
a crowd and their late efforts to
provide more room were fruitless.
As at first stated the day was a
huge success and will long be re¬
called bv the hundreds who at¬
tended.
Town Taxes.
The books are open at The
News office for receiving tax re¬
turns for the year 1901. The
dates obser\ed by the state and
county in tax matters will be
observed here. It will be well to
come forward and make returns
while the data is fresh in your
minds.

A. DeVane.
Chas. A. DeVane wa9 born near
Lois, in Berrien county, Ga. twen¬
ty-four years ago. In early man¬
hood lie was happily united in
marriage to Miss Ella Parrish of
the same county. Soon after mar¬
riage he took up the study of law
at Mercer University, from this
institution h<* graduated with I 1011 -
ors in June 1900. Upon gradua¬
tion he was admitted to practice
in the state and federal courts,
and immediately entered into a
lucrative practice at Adel Ga.
In his chosen profession he was
winning the laurels of victory and
rapidly climbing the ladder of le¬
gal fume, and
W if ere as on the 11th day of A-
pril 1901, while he was m
ent good health, an All-wise Prov-
idence saw fit to remove him from
his field of earthly usefulness,
and transplant him in, his youth

a field of ethereal labor, as one
more congenial to him, a trusted
lieutenant of his Father and
Whkukas. his wife and father-
less babe, his father and hosts of
friends, in their sorrow, feel that
Iiis sad death is an irreparable loss
to them; therefore be it
Resolved that the members of
the Berrien County Bar, sensibly
feel the loss of so bright a light
from their midst; and
Resolved, That they tender
deepest heartfelt, sympathies
the bereaved w'idow and c«r-
babe; and
Resolved, That these resolu¬
be published in all the pa¬
of the county, spread upon
minutes of court, and a copy
to the family of our la¬
mented brother, this 20tli day of
May, 1901.

Junk Shop.
There was much perturbation
among (he colored population
Monday morning. The officers
of the law were hot after some
snea ^ thieves. A whole lead of
niotle y Roods were discovered at
a negro woman’s house. She
claimed that the goods were left
there by a negro man, .Jim Free¬
man and that she did not know
that the goods were stolen. The
goods were carried down to the
court house and were identified
by their owners. There were
old quilts, clothes lines, shirts,
chairs, irons, and all manner of
wearing apparel and other trin¬
kets too numerous and valueless
to mention. Freeman was not
apprehended and no case was
