Af TON WATER.
Flow gently, sweet Afton among
thy green braes;
Flew gently, I'll sing thee a song
in thy praise;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmur
ing stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb
not her dream.
Thou stock-dove whose echo re
sounds through the glen,
Ye wild whistling blackbird in yon
thorny den,
Thou green-crested lapwing, thy j
screaming fori fear;
1 charge you disturb not my slum
bering fair.
How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neigh
boring bills,
Far marked with the courses of
dear-winding rills'.
There daily I wander as noon rises
high,
My flocks and Mary's sweet cot in
my eye.
llow pleasant thy banks and green
valleys below,
Where wild in the woodlands the
primroses blow!
There oft as mild evening weeps
over the lea,
The sweet-scented birk shades my
Mary and me-
Thy crystal stream, Afton, how
love I v it glides,
And winds by the cot where my
Mary resides;
How wanton thy waters her snowy
feet lave,
Al, gathering sweet flowers, she
stems thy dear wave!
Flow g.mtdy, Alton, among thy
green braes;
Flow gently, sweet river, the theme
of my lays;
My Mary’s asleep by tby murmur
ing stream,
Fiow gently, sweet Afton, disturb
not her dream

TYRO.
K- Hewitt completed last spring
a nice home on Oak drove road.
Tyro school house is nearing com
pletion. Mr. Butler, of Statham,
is the builder.
The doctor seldom visits our sec
tion now. Our siek people are about
all well again.
The farmer is very busy these
beautiful days pulling fodder, mak
ing syrup and saving hay.
C. M. Thompson will Inn Id a
four-room bungalow between now
and Christmas for tenants.
\V. Roberts h as bought a home

to gather.

six-room bungalow on his farm.
When completed and painted it
will he a beauty.
[as* Roberts has rented for another
year near Kim wood, and will move
there. We an* sorry to lose so
good a neighbor as Lee.
W. H. Elrod is making a nice ad
dition to his pretty home. When
completed he will have one among
the prettiest homes in our midst.
We are glad to welcome hack to
out community Henry Lyle for the
year 1010. Henry says he likts

his country home in Fyro.
Love Whitehead,of near Statbam,
will m >ve on lauds of C. M. Iliomp
s m for another year. W e are glad
to welcome such energetic and in
dustrious hoys into our midst.
J. W. O'Shields has just complet
ed anew gin-house and is now put
ting the machinery in. Jhis will
be of great convenience to the peo*
pie in north Tyro. The Pentecost
Gin Company will bale your cotton
in south Tyro.
Such men as Dave Cook, A. I).
Wall. J- M. Ross and 11. C. Wall,
with their untiring efforts and per
severenee with weighty opposition,
deserve much credit for the speedy
building of the school house. The
board of education made a mistake
in outlining Tyro territory. The line
goes too far down Beech creek, and
not far enough up the river. If
this line was put there because some
preferred twenty-first to twenty
third, why make the lines where
they should be, and grant them as
liners to attend other schools. Now
three-fourths of a mile above Han
cock's bridge will lie as far from
Patrick’s school house as Hancock
bridge. It will be a hardship on
tenants on J It. Johnson’s and J.
H. Fulcher’s lands to attend school
if the school bouse is built in the
center of twenty-first district. The
Oak Grove line will force those on
J. X. Ross’ place (1 mean tenants)
to attend Tyro, sticking to the line
as a turning point. If the board of
education laid visited these localities
they could see at once these matters
as they are? A plat don’t look like
the land every time. I may not
understand these papers- If I do,
the above is true. If you go up the
river to O'Shield’s land placing Ful
cher’s lands in the twenty-third dis
trict, follow Fiddler's lino to J. P.
Eley’s line, thence -I- P. Kiev's
line to Edna (> Shields line; thence
to Sally O'Shield’s line to Page,
Page and Thompson line to Lay,
and 1 Hinnahoo's line, same line to
creek, it will add but little and
make a more satisfactory line, to
my opinion. This would place
O'Shield's land in twenty-first,Kiev,
Johnson and Fulcher in twenty
third. Now the extreme point of
tenants on Fulchei place from Tyro
is two miles, from Patrick’s two and
quarter miles To build Patrick’s
nearer Winder (and you will) it
makes it harder on Kiev, Fulcher,
and tenants. What! Did you say
I was booming Tyro? No Sir. She
has a good, steady’, healthy, hardy
growth regardless of cold water boys,
tight wados, henpcckos —and not
only that, as the cartoonist ha ye it,
hut there is something else doing,
that you will have to come and see
to know. Tyrant.
u rns ip ms TOES.
We borrow the following from
the Editor of the Marriottn News,
who hurried it from The Cushing,
Texas, Enterprise. We don't know
where lie got it and don't care:
Man is a funny little cuss and
hasn’t long to stay, he flies around
and makes a fuss and then hikes
away. Some nun imagine they
are great, and try to tear up -Jack,
but eaeli one meets the same old
fate and trots the same old track.
Great Caesar s dead, turned to clay,
and so is Cicero, and Alexander s
gone the way the rest of us must
go. The sages, heroes, poets, all
the men of wealth and wrath, into
an open grave must fall and crum
ble back to earth. Then let's not
join the mad affray, and struggle
like the deuce, and agonize our life
away, for really what s the use?
Let's live and love and sing the
while, and work some now and
then, and give to every one a smile
that cheers the hearts of men. And
whether we are crowned with
flowers or chilled with winter's
snows, with happiness let's till the
hours ere we turn up our toes.
JUST SO

agers want husband and wife in the

Our Interests
And Yours Are
Identical.
We are making a bid for your
steady year-in-and -year-out busi
ness. We must DESERVE it —we
are fully aware of that.
And to deserve it there are several
things that we must Do and KEEP
ON DOING six days a week.
First. It’s pretty plain that we
must hunt around and gather the
finest Furniture that our money
will buy. WE HAVE DONE
THAT.
Then me must price that Furni
ture at a very slight advance on
cost, so that the cost may seem fair
to VOF. WE’VE DONE THAT,
TOO.
Then we must tell you about
these points, so that yon will act
accordingly. That’s the purpose of
this ad. COME. W. T. Robinson.

The party started from the office
of the Atlanta Journal on Monday

follow the official I b raid-Journal

where they will leave Winston-
Salem to the left and go by Greens

Virginia line via Danville.

lanta offices. lie also owns a large
shoe store in Atlanta handling this
brand of shoes entirely.
Mr- Smith, who lived in North
Carolina a number of years ago and
knows every foot of the route, says
that the better and more direct
route is to go from High Point to
Greensboro, Reidsville, and thence
to Danville, as the roads are more
level than from Winston-Salem to
Martensville, Ya.
The party consists of Messrs.
Geo. P. Burdick and Joe Harrison,

noon, August 2S. Mr. Smith re
ports the roads in DeKaib and
Gwinnett counties in fine shape.
This is the first commercial trip

TELEPHONE GIRLS.
The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from every
where; she hears all the gossip, she
hears all the news, she knows who
is happy and who has the blues; she
knows all our sorrows, she knows
our joys,she knows every girl who is
| chasing the boys; she knows of
strife, she knows every man that is
mean to his wife 1 she knows every
time we are out with the hoys, she
hears the excuses each fellow em
ploys; she knows every man who’s
inclined to he fast.
If the telephone girl would tell all
she knows, it would turn half our
friends into bitterest foes; she would
soon he a gale, engulf our troubles
and land us in jail; slit* would
let go a story which, growing in
force, would cause half our wives to
sue for divorce; she would get all
the churches mixed up in a tight,
and turn our days into sorrowing
nights; in feet.she would keep all the
town in a st< w.it -be and tell the tenth
part of the thugs she knew; now,
doesn't it make your head whirl,
when you think what you owe to
the telephone girl?
Mina! —Be good to the telephone
girl. —Belt cted
