Revival services receive a much
smaller notice in the papers now
days than bnll games.
During a campaign much is
said about relief for the farmers.
But this is generally forgotten
when the election i? over.
Sections in several states were
visited by destructive cyclones last
week destyoying much property
and a number of lives.
Ladies aro now making success
ful trips in airplanes to London.
We like the company of ladies, but
on trips like this they will have to
do without our presence.
A new Yoik woman after re
ceiving a divorce a few days ago
scalded herself in a bath tub
of hot water, wo suppose to keep
any person from again making
love to her.
A negro man in Atlanta killed
his wife last week over a loan of
ninety-five cents. She was car
ried to the graveyard, while the
preachers will sing and pray and
make him believe that he ia ready
for heaven by the time the courts
get through with him.
A one-legged man serving a
sentence in a Florida gang recent
ly escaped and walked roo miles
back to Lowndes county, Georgia,
to see a new baby, which shows
how fond he is of children. llad
it been like some who cry all the
time we would have wanted to
gone the other way.
Down in Sumpter the black
man called the “hugging negro,’,
who was given 30 years for burgla

effort; is being made to catch him.
Yet bank thieves who take large
Bums are reared back in their of
fice chairs with much lighter sen
tences not yet started.
Only a few days ago we read of
two children down in South Geor
gia being killed by lightning while
playing under a tree. And a lit
tle later four men were killed in
Indiana who were standing under
a tree to keep out of a storm. Un
der a tree is a very dangerous
place to get during a storm in the
summer time. Later.—Another
killed in Georgia, a lady.
Out iu Tennessee a husband be
ing unable to get along with his
mother-in-law and wife, left a
dime and a note, telling the latter
to buy a rose in his memory. Then
ended his life by jumping into the
river. We judge this was all the
money he possessed bad lie pur
sued a different course and an ali
mony suit started. She got all he
had and did not have to divide it
with any lawyer.
They are talking about the abo
lition of the grand jury in felony
cases in Illinois. We see no use
of a grand jury in Georgia, be
cause such jurors are uot bound to
return anything that comes under
their knowledge before they arc
sworn in, but if one of them dis
likes any one who has violated the
law any time within two years
back, felot y cases excepted, they
can have tho party brought to jus
tice. When if it is a friend and
every member of tli. jury knows it
and no effort is made to investi
gate it no oatii is violated if the act
was committed before the jurors
were selected, chosen and sworn.
Then again, many a defendant is
acquitted after being prosecuted
because the jury just bears from
one side of the cm- •.

'I'lie fourth State Camp for wo
men was held last week at Athens
at the College Camp, “Camp Wil-
kens,” on the College Campus,
Alliens. There were 250 women
who remained for the entire week
and many others attended for the
day. The recreational features
gave these women a new visjon, a
new outlook, a new ambition for
their children. We hope that next
year Lumpkin county will be well
represented.
Although the highway has been
surveyed and graded up by Ander
son’s store, the road from Dav.s’
store to Col. Pruitt’s corner, has
been surveyed lime and again. Ev
ery few days you will see three
men surveying and driving up
pegs, and nothing else done to it.
We do not know who foots the
bill, but know that this little piece
of road has cost some body quite a
lot of money if the surveyor’s are
not just practicing.

Talking about a “dry” lime.
We saw a fellow early Monday
morning who had had two drinks
of liquor before he could get a
chew of tobacco. He must have
thought in buying the liquor that
it was the kind they used to make
— tobacco being one of the in
gredients to give it the proper bead
and strong flavor.
A few days ago we are told that
one of the Mr. Sullens and another
party whose name we did not learn
took shelter under a tree during a
rain. Upon seeing a tree near by
with the body bent over that would
give them better protection from
the rain they ran to it. They had
just arrived when lightning struck
the one they had left, which
shows how close they were to the
door of death.
Tax Receiver Ray finished one
digest and sent it oil to the state

fore any further piogress is made,
notwithstanding the county board
has examined each and every re
turn and pronounced them all
“good.” Being composad of men
who are on the ground and know
the exact situation and condition
of tilings a great deal better than
one who knows nothing about a
single tax payer in tho county or
anything about the properly val-
’J‘?i The establishing of such an
office is nil imposition upon the
people, and ought to be abolished.
There is an increase of ^21 ,ol7 in

Although we have had only a
