FLO VILLA NO. 1 Miss Vera Treadwell, of Indian Spring, is the guest of Mrs. Evan Smith. Rev. Mr. Linkus, of Fitzger ald. is spending a few days with Mr! J. 0. Cole. Mr. W. J. Webb, of Locust Grove, spent Sunday with Mr. W. H. Vickers. Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Duke spent last Saturday and Sunday at Jenkinsburg with friends. Mr. Robert Henderson spent last Wednesday in Macon buying fixtures for his ice business. We direct the Commissioners’ attention to a broken plank in bridge near Mr. N. K. Wicker’s residence. Hon. Walter Wise, of Fayette county, was in our vicinity last week in the interest of his can didacy for the Solicitor’s office. Mr. Wise has many strong friends here. Mr. Van White, one of No. l’s sterling young farmers, has dem onstrated to the young men ‘ ‘that there is more in the man than there is in the land.” Our younger farmers will profit by following his examples as a farmer. Mrs. 0. E. Smith received news a few days since of the serious illness of her uncle, ex- Senator S. G. Treadwell, of Dal ton. Mr. Treadwell will be re membered by many of the older citizens of Butts county, having resided here when a young man. Does Mr. Bartlett really mean to give us that anti-jug law, or is he just joking? What do you say? Now is the time to speak or forever hold your peace on the subject. This might be the great good he could do the coun try with a Democratic house. We sympathize with Mrs. C. L. Maddox in the death of her father, Mr. Wesley Lemon. Mr. Lemon was possessed of many noble traits of character, having been a consistent member of Pleasant Grove church from boy hood. We can truly say a good man has entered into the haven of rest. Mr. Will Thomas, of Newton county, visited his mother last Sunday. Mr. Thomas is one of Butts county’s old boys whom she should be justly proud of. He now ranks among Newton county’s largest farmers. You can just keep your eye on the Butts county boys, they will take the lead wherever they cast their lot. There has been a question sprung in Butts county as to whether the Hon. C. L. Bartlett offered any aid to the Union News when the postal authorities endeavored to keep it from cir culating as second class mail matter. Perhaps some of the correspondents of the county can give the desired information. We don’t want to do Mr. Bartlett an injustice, but would like to have the facts in the case so we can put him in the right attitude before the people, and especially the Farmers Union men of the county. . What has become of our cor respondents’ picnic? We should not let it die down. Let’s keep writing and talking about it. How would it suit the staff to hold our picnic near the great plant which is being built on the river. No doubt the correspon dents would enjoy a day out here viewing the work. And there is one of the prettiest groves you ever saw near the place owned by our esteemed friend, Mr. B. T. Deason. I know he would gladly allow us the use of it. It is where the Maddox family hold their annual reunion. Some writer once said, “young man, go west and grow up with the country.” Now, as time changes everything, we are ready to say, “young man, come east.” We have greater induce ments to offer you than the emi nent writer offered you to go west. We have cheap lands that are capable of growing anything that man or beast can consume, besides our magnificent forests which have grown up since the war, when east Butts was the richest portion of the county. Above all, our fine water falls which have been dormant since Sherman’s destructive march to the sea, will soon be whirling thousands of spindles, manufac turing every pound of cotton grown in Butts and adjacent counties. I doubt whether Fall River has any better powers than nature blessed us with on the Ocmulgee. There are yet two more large plants to be built in a radius of four miles of the one just started.
