Bob Ingersoll, the up the coun

It is said that such weather

Last Thursday was valentines

A negro man struck the end of

that the unexpected shock on the
nerves caused his death.

The hardest worked, least ap

The weather has been so bitter
cold that it has been almost im
possible to stick type and work
machinery in the most comfort

do good work has been next to an
impossibility and many of our ex
changes tell the tale of trials and

has been travelling the same road
since 1882 and know its many dif

This cold weather reminds us of
a yarn told by a northern man
while on a tour in the south. He
said iie attended a big meeting one
day where a brilliant orator was
to speak on the political issues of
the day. The weather was terrible
cold and the day was indeed a raw
one. The speaker rose and, un
known to the large audience be
gan speaking. He was seen to
make gestures and appeared to be
in earnest. Finally he took his
seat and the crowd dispersed, sad
ly disappointed at the brilliant or
ator’s actions, and mainly because
the speech was not heard. The
narrator said he happened to pass
near the place where the speech
was to have been delivered, on a
warm day afterwards and was sur
prised at hearing distinct sounds
coming from the place, as some one
speaking. Going nearer, he stood
dumb founded-and listened to one
of the most eloquent and powerful
political speeches he ever heard.
His solution of the problem was,
that the words of the orator froze
as he spoke and were just thawing
out! We can not vouch for the
veracity of this yarn

A Perplexing Paragraph
O
The following passage occurs in
the presentments of the grand jury
of Hall county:
“The dining room (at the pau
pers’ home) is well kept—a large
well-kept cooking stove, tables,
with plenty of table ware to ac
commodate all the inmates, two
mules, one milk cow giving milk,
and some nice shoates.”
The Georgia Cracker has con
sidered the above statement care
fully, but after days of anxious
thought is unable to tell whether
they meant to assert that there was
“plenty of table ware to accom
modate the two mules, one cow and
some nice shoates as well as the
inmates, or whether they found
the dining room well kept, with
the stove, tables, table ware, the
two mules, one cow and some nice
shoates—all in the dining room.

A Hummer From Hummerville.
For sixteen years there has been
an annual grand fancy ball given
at Vienna on St. Valentine’s night.
In fact it has been known as one
of the fixtures in Vienna society
and looked forward to with great
interest in all the surrounding
country and neighboring towns.
The usual preparations were
made this 3-ear and an ample hall
(Alliance Hall) secured. The bad
weather for the past two weeks
transpired to keep away many who
usually attend, but a goodly crowd
were present despite weather, and
the mazes of the dance indulged
until the early- morning hours, led
by- sweet strains from Barrata’s
band.
A number of visitors from Cor
dele, Montezuma, Hawkinsville,
Macon, Perry, and other points,
were present.
An Explanation.
Editor Progress:
I want to make an explanation
as to old man Ab Collier’s death,
as there seems that some one
knows more about it than I do.
The night of his death he and
old man Shade Holland sat up un
til 1 or 2 o’clock, as negroes usu
ally do, and kept a fire. I went
into their room after supper to see
if they had tire enough to keep
them warm.
Ab was feeble when he came
here and grew worse every day-.
I didn’t have any- idea that he
would live as long as he did.
During the night he got off the
bed, which I never knew him to do
before. He was delirious and did
not often have much mind. Shade
Holland says he did not know what
he was talking about the day and
night before he died. He had fire
and plenty of bed-clothes, but I
can t say whether he froze or not,
I don’t know. His bead aad body
were warm at day-break.

Guano Season
1895.
This Company is new to the farmers of Dooly
county—its officers, however, are well known to
them, as well as are the brands of fertilizers they offer.
‘‘Plovv'boys Buqrfd Qu£|qo.”
This is probably the oldest brand of complete
fertilizer on the market. Our Mr. A. M. Rodg
ers (formerly of Rodgers, Worsham & Co. and
who recently was President of the Farmers
Suppl}’ Co.) originated this brand years ago. It
is the best guano sold, as shown by field results,
its analyses the highest, as proven by the Geor
gia Chemist’s analyses. This brand and form
ula are ours and we alone manufacture it.
Black Rock Dissolved Bone.
This is the strongest Acid Phosphate sold in the
State. Any of the many farmers who have used it
will substantiate this statement.
ffqpCest Queep Fqvorije.
This brand is certain to take well with the in
telligent farmers on account of its large per cent
of pure potash, having more than double the
quantity of other brands.
Besides the above brands we import German
Kaiinit, deal largely in Cotton Seed Meal and all fer-
tilzing material.
Mr. Rodgers has been selling fertilizers in Dooly
county for 16 years and respectfully solicits a contin
uance of the liberal patronage heretofore enjoyed for
his high grade brands of fertilizers.
