As well to monkey with a buzz saw as to tease a chap just after his best girl has kicked him. Take our word for it and don’t try it. _ If the wood haulers and coal men have not been happy this winter, we do not believe they ever will be on ibis earth. They have held the trump card to a certainty. J. L. Hurst never cries hard times or lets bis stock run down. He knows how and intends to distance all com¬ petitors in the bar business. Call on him and be will prove it. It is not often that raw eggs inside of a dwelling house freeze so hard that the she:is can be removed just as wer, hard l.oih-,1. But that is what happened during the Iasi cold spell. Oioy a short time ago our society young people were in e whirl and on tertainmeats were of almost daily or nightly occurrence, but the bottom seems to have dropped out and things arc taking a vest. Clever Luke Hurst numbers his friends by the thousand, but he wants millions more to test his choice liquors and testify, as they can, that his is the place to get your juice. The social given last Monday night »t the residence of Mr. A. L. Foster, in honor of visiting young ladies, was was one iff the most enjoyable affairs of llr; season. i am representing the Americas Steam Laundry. Bring Vue your soiled shins, collars and cuffs and have them laundrifld better than when you bought them. Work guaranteed. T. J. Ltoiitfoot. '.Vhflo the New England cotton mills are coming and preparing to com - south cannot some of our enter jyy-ing. monied men induce one at 1- , sr of them to e-mip among us ? Wc might in even if wc fail. if i-.se. hard .vork, good judgment and close attention to business m the face of competition, to go to the top P 1 id stay there, but that is what J. L. TIurst has done and proposes to do with his har. When our people awoke this morn¬ ing, it Was to find the ground covered with snow, about three inches deep. Snow balling was in order and some of our citizens improvised sleighs and went riding. We have not had such a •■'■'ilI of snow in years. --Mrs. Preston Creel and Miss Mary .Killingsworth, of Bluffton, spent sev oral days in the city this week, the guests family. of Miss Mr. E. W. Killingsworth took and Mary the steamer Thurdav night for Sneeds, Fla., where she will resume her millinery business. The program of bidding farewell to the old Methodist church and formally taking possession of the new, was fully carried out on Sunday last as adver bi «od. Wo have not as yet learned vvhat d:snosition will be made of the old church. Mr. I. N. Royal ha< a patent eyffee pot on exhibition at Fordonm & Mc Allister’s, in which coffee of tlie best quality can be made in a moment., and all who wish to drink a cup arc wel¬ come to do so. By this process a smaller quantity is used than by any ether, and. the saving in time is a big tiling also. Notwithstanding the past Was an exceptionally hard and trying year and the pressure lias been felt in all sections, our business men have liild their own and are still on top, and in fact, we as a community and our county as a whole, have but little, if anything to complain of when we eon trust our condition with that of some parts of the country. Tn great contrast to some winters, when the weather hardly became cold enough to warrant hog killing, this season we have had it cold enough and long enough to kill and cure much more nre was raised. Most of OU” 1 all who have made ogs are now well made meat. i PERSONAL MENTION. WHO COMES AND WHO GOES, AND WHEN AND WHERE. The Newt of Port DuIiipn Society Briefly Stated—Gathered at the Home PircMidc. —Misses Emma Webb and Clifford Hightower visited Macon this week. _ Rey Mr> Crie „ fllled his regllhir appointment at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath. The blizzards have come; it has rained, hailed and snowed and things have howled generally, but Luke Hurst, the popular bar man, has come through it all and is still serene, and smiling, al the same old stand. Mr. E. J. Harden, one of our clever resident cotton buyers, has returned, after a sllort visit away from the Fort. Ed, besides being one of the most ex pert handlers of the fleecy staple wc have ever known, is a whole-souled, generous fellow, a democrat from start to iinisli, and a l'rietid that it is well to tie to. .... hif,pteS , , h" 0 „ and t to! vigorous manhood, “h,"u[uo and ’| ! young re i member his unquestioned courage, we cannot but think that he is one of the { i as t m en we know of whom we would i desire to tackle in a scuttle or try to I S ct away from, should he lay hands on us. Were there occasion for it we j would certainly seek to avoid him and give him a wide berth. —Mr. Ed Ingram, one of our most prosperous farmers, was in town Tues¬ day and bought strychnine with which to poison field larks. He said those birds are so numerous that it is impos¬ sible to get a stand of oats or any other grain, the larks in huge droves, set¬ tling on the fieldss and devouring the seed and young sprouts. This is something unusual for this section. —Last Sunday was a cold, cold day, as we all know, but that did not pre¬ vent Miss Sarah Jane Matthews and Mr. C. Money, who live away over in Alabama, from coming here to get rnarriod. The ceremony was perform¬ ed by Judge Foote, at his residence, and the couple left immediately for their home. Love not only laughs at locksmiths, but at blizzards and .even thing else. The well known and popular Mr. Thomas J. Smith has refitted bis tony billiard saloon in the rear of Mr. J. L. Hurst’s bar. He has splendid tables, everything is quiet, cozy and comfort¬ able, t lie best of order is kept and it is the very place for gentlemen who wish to indulge in a quiet game to patron¬ ize. He desires that the public should know these fads and give him a rail. His friends from the country who play billiards or pool are especially invited. We have noticed lately two or three cadaverous looking frames.of wliat, if they had more flesh on them, would be cows and calves, wandering about the streets, huddled at some old shel¬ ter, or standing with tails lanyard the north wind, and wondered what they were good for and to whom they be¬ longed. Seemingly not fed, picking up what they could find on the streets, no one of them would make a square meal for a pair of buzzards. Objects of pity, it would be but mercy to kill them and relegate their carcasses to the boneyard. \Ye think we have had cold weather. and so wc have for this section, but it has been as balmy as June, as com¬ pared with what some sections have suffered. North, East and West, blizzards, freezes and snowstorms have prevailed, business and traveling have been almost suspended, trains have been snowed under, people and ani mats have been frozen to death and al most unheard of suffering has been among the poor. The experience of this winter will be long talked of and remembered. When wc read of the various liter ary societies, reading clubs, etc,, that the young people of other towns not a whit larger or more important than ours, have, we feel that in this re¬ spect wc are at the tail end of the pro¬ cession and lixe.ly to get left. Our hoys and girls are just as intelligent and as well educated as others, but somehow these things appear to be out of their line.
