Thk absence of the farmers from

going on these bright sunny days.

man 27 years of age to a girl 12

Who will take the lead and yet
our candidates for Congress to meet

the people all over this section'

Thkrk is something amazing in
the boldness of burglars. Right
under the brightness of street lamps
a few nights ago the postoffioe of
Richmond, Va., was robbed of

Although it is said a dollar
bill is so thickly covered with all
kinds of germs—smallpox, scarlet
fever, and so on—we have never
seen any one refuse one yet. It
verifies the old proverb, "Money is
welcome, though it comes in a dirty
bag."
Ju dgk John P. Ross announces
in this issue for Congress from the
Sixth district. Judge Ross is one
of Macon’s most prominent citizens,
a lawyer of distinction and very
prominent among secret order meu.
His friends will rally to his support

Last Saturday was a record
breaking day in Jackson’s commer
cial circles. Several say it was the
biggest day’s sales they ever had.
The merchants did a magnificent
business. Between twenty-five and
thirty buggies were sold, besides
surries and wagons. It was a big
day in the fertilizer business, too.
The cash was liberally spent.
One hundred and twenty coun
ties in the State will work convicts
on the roads the second year of the
new convict lease system. Fifteen
counties have transferred their con
victs to other counties, and Butts is
one of the number, transferring
hers to Spalding. Good work is
said to have been done under the
new system, and it is most satisfac
tory where tried
Liberal and intelligent adver
tising pays. The people are look
ing for the merchants and all deal
ers in necessary articles to tell them
through the columns of the paper
what they have to sell. They want
to plan where to go to trade before
they leave home. The wise mer
chant is continually telling them
what he has, what he expects to
have and the prices.
Th h programme for the approach

several from outside the bounds of

J. V. Jovner, of North Carolina,
President of the National. Educa

says a dispatch, "consists of an in

CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDINGS
Central Georgia Power Cos.
Condemns 66 4.10 Acres
of Land Belonging to
Dr. R. W. flays.
Under the law, persons or cor
porations can condemn and take
land of another under certain pro
ceedings. The party condemning
land notifies the party whose laud
he wishes to condemn of his inten
tion to condemn and the amount of
land to be condemned. Each party
selects a man as assessor, and the
two thus selected select a third as
sessor. These three assessors go
upon the land to be condemned and
view the premises and hear evi
dence as to damages, the dam
ages being of two kinds—actual,
the value of property actually
taken or used; and consequential,
the damages to the property not
taken.
In this case Dr. Mays had two
tracts of land—one containing 103
acres, of which the Central Georgia
Bower Company wished to con
demn 2 8.10 acres; the other con
taining 435 acres, of which the
Company wished to condemn 63
6.10 acres, according to its survey.
On the last-named tract I)r. Mays
asked as actual damages the value
of the 63 6.10 acres actually taken,
and consequential damages to the
balance of the tract, in consequence
of the damage to a water power on
the laud, the closing of a road by
the pond of water and the covering
of springs; the proximity of the
pond of water to the dwellings on
the land, and the effect of the pond
of water being on the tract of land,
making the land less desirable
either to rent or sell, and decreas
ing its market value.
The Company was represented by
Col. Walter T. Johnson, of Macon,
its general counsel, and Dr. Mays
by Col. 11. M. Fletcher. The Com
pany selected as assessor Mr. W.
A. Carlisle, of Gainesville; I)r.
Mays selected Mr. J. L. Bailey,
and they selected Mr. J. R. Lyons.
Witnesses were sworn by both sides.
The assessors, after viewing the
premises and hearing the evidence,
made their award, or verdict, as
follows: For the 445-aere tract,
actual damages, $1,700; conse
quential damages, $l,OlO. For the
133-acre tract, actual damages,
$75; consequential damages, $65.
'File assessors having viewed the
premises and heard the evidence of
both sides, no doubt it is a just and
fair award, and it is to be hoped
both parties will be satisfied.
New Pressing Club and
Laundry.
Mr. Paul Slaton was over from
Griffin Thursday and arranged to

club and laundry. He will be in
