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 —Roi-kkt Brass. 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 in Statlum and will move there this fall. Sorry to lose you, Wel don. John Fields has moved into the house with B. I*. Rickie. Ben has made so large a crop he needs help to gather. .). R. Johnson is building a nice 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 Winder, but not so well as he does 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 “Why didn’t the theatrical man agers want husband and wife in the same company? . “They think the public wouldn’t care to see a man making love to Ids wife.” “Looks too much like acting,eh?" 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. BATTLE AXE CAR IN WINDER.

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 ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.. Will he sold in Jefferson on first Tuesday in Septem ber, 8 Lots in Winder; each fronting on Broad street 120 feet.
