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 ry, made his escape. And a strong 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- •. The Mayor’s Contest. Decis ion of Supreme Coprt.

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. The Dahlonega Home Demon stration Club was very delightfully entertained by Miss Irene Moore last Tuesday afternoon in the Po- mest’c Science Department! Prof. FU" hoi son gave ft very interesting and very instructive lecture on Poultry. He gave many helpful suggestions and points which should be put iulo practice by those engaged in raising chickens.

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 assessor for him to pass upon be 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.
