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.

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. Millinery Opening !

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 ? Ni;kk Srd, MRS.
