The first Sunday in October will
be a great day for old people here

Hunnieutt materialize. On that

primitive way. No song will le
sung that.is not at least a hundred
years old, and the preacher will
line them out as the preacher did
in the good old religious times of
long ago.
Everybody for miles around are
invited to come and bring their
babies, and if they cry they are in

If there arc those living here
abouts who would like to attend
and have no way to come, if they
will notify this office, arrangements
will he made to send an automo
bile for them.
AUCTION SALT A[ CARL.
From the fact that those who
have wanted near Carl and
Auburn, *hat they might enjoy the
splendid school advantages of that
section, have always been handicap
jH'd in getting what they wanted in
the way of homes with small farms,
the sale that is to be pulled off at
Carl Sept. 2-Sth, is attracting con
siderable interest. Lamar A Perry
having subdivided the Perry prop
erty so as to give small farms right
in Carl upon which farmers can
build them homes and have sulli
eient land to make a living and en
joy the increased school advantages
makes the proposition more attrac
tive than an ordinary town lot sale.
They have arranged to let a man
name his own price, select his own
farm and give terms within the
reach of most any man who desires
to obtain school advantages for his
children while he continues to farm.
We tiredict for this sale a great suc
cess, and it will in all probability be
some time before another opportu
nity of this kind is offered the peo
pie who are looking to Perry-Raincy
Institute as the place to educate
their children.
THE BARIIECUE AT TYRO.
Friday was a great day at Tyro.
The barljccue planned to close the
school, came off according to
schedule, and was voted a success
in every particular. There was
plenty to cat and drink, good music
and line speaking.
Col. J. C. Turner, chairman of
the county board of education,
made the principal address. He
complimented the citizens of Tyro
on the election of their handsome
new school bidding. Advised har
mony among the trustees, pointed
out the advantages of an education,
and deplored the tendency of the
ennitry youth to rush to the city.
He said In longed to see the time re
turn v.lien the country gentleman
was a power in his county; when
he would make the laws while the
city chap stayed at home, and as
sured his audience that real pros
perity a county depended largely
upon the prosperity of it* rural
districts.
Joe Matt Haynie was masfcei of
ceremonies, and he performed this
function in the good old way, every
word he uttered breathing a hearty
welcome and spreading good cheer
I among the assembled throng.
Mr. Luther Arnold, of Statham,
made a short talk along educational
lines.
•Jas. W. Hill, of Fulton county,
has l>een appointed by President
Taft to succeed Alonzo M. Brown,
of Lithonia, as census supervisor of
the Fifth district. Brand is a dem
ocrat and the man who gets his job
belongs to that species of politician
! known as state democrat and
national republican. A man that
has headed Atlanta's “scab’’ direc
tory as long as Hill has will feel no
compunction of conscience at knock
ing Brand out of his plumb.

THE RIDGE.
It is given up by all who attend
ed that we bad the lust exhibition
held in the country this year and
equal to some held in town. Every
child knew his part perfectly not a
bubble at all. Scriptural scenes
were represented to perfection. Fun
and merriment all along through
the program* The program was the
best arranged we ever saw. During
one scene a person could not help
hut letting tears of sorrow and sad
ness trickle down his cheek and in
another scene the flood of tears of
laughter would wash his face. Big
Ben Collier was there and made a
short, funny speech; was no trouble
at all to get him before the audience.
He is Inking foward to something
anyhow. He naturally wants to
mix and mingle with the masses
just before a campaign. Vos, and
Bill Barrett was there, and came on
the stage, with a face like a bull-
dog, a voice like a lion and a nerve
like an English sparrow, for the
folks to laugh at him, and Lie to i
laugh at them, and he did his part
up “Joe Brown.’’ *
The Hon. John X. Holder made
a beautiful little speech, in which
he paid a tribute to Ebenezer and
her surroundings. He told of the
need of more education and higher
education. He complimented our
teacher, Miss Essie Crook, very
tnueh on the frav she had trained
her pupils and on Lang one among
the best teachers in the county.
You can’t tell me that Ebenezer
is going to stay far behind in styles
and fashions, for Mary Janes
are to he seen every Sunday now.
While cutting wood, Mr. Luther
Whitehead happened to a very pain
ful accident, a piece of wood strik
ing him in the eye, almost putting
it out. He hasn't been able to set'
any from that eye since.
! Someone said when Cook got to
the North Pole lie climbed up to the
top and looked back down this way
and saw Jefferson, and the mer
chants were sitting around on goods
boxes whittling, waiting for court
week to come so they could catch a
little trade. But at Winder the
wagons and teams were so busy
hauling to and from town they
made such a dust he couldn't even
see that great big thing where the
water stays. What do you call it ?
