Quite a number of our citizens at
tended the big picnic last Friday. All
report a fine time. - *
Rev. A. J. Quattlebaum filled the
Methodist pulpit Sunday, the pastor,
Rev. O. R. Jenkins being at the World’s
Fair.
Mr. A. W. Logue left for Nashville,
Ga., last week, where he goes to look
after J. H Anderson’s branch store.
Mrs. Logue left yesterday. Their many
friends wish them much success in their
new home.
Mr. and Mrs. John Stephens are the
guests of their parents Mr. and Mrs. J.
N. Bulloch.
Miss Julia Braswell after spending
several days at Hampton Springs, Fla
returned home last week.
Little Miss Alice Stringer of Fine
Park, has been spending a few days with
her grandparents.
Mrs. Nannie Venters has in stock a
nice line of fall hats. Call around and

Hot! hot? How much we would ap
preciate a good rain to cool the atmos
phere.
Mr. Pliney Heeth our clever tax col
lector is in town today, and from the
way he is kept busy we think bo is col
lecting mighty well for the first round.
Some of our citizens were soum what
shocked op Monday morning when the
postmaster got a note out of the ulU^c
addressed to Citizen^ of Oclilucuuee.
notifying them that then; was a *'be
fore day Club” in the town ana that
certain of tho Colored ptu^.u ol the
town wore leaders. There wos’i.t much
excitement over it as we think khi.o fel
low wanted to stir up a little excitement.
We think that the colored people of our
town think too much of themselves and
are better citizens, law-abiding citizens
than to have such a thing as a “Before
day club.”
Mrs. Alice Singletary is at the bedside
of her mother, Mrs. Walker at Cairo,
who has been quite sick for the past
week.
Mrs. T. T. Thompson spent the day in

atop down town and get a good price
for your cotton. We are paying above
Savannah prices every duy.
Undo “It. A. P.” treated ns to a nice
string of fish one day last week, and if
you got ahead of him you will have to
go the day before, and ho will be there
The interest in the voting for the
