What the Peeplr Ha and May—
Kittle Bits •( News and (;#*.•
•Ip Gathered on the Wind*
The judgement of some people is
very weak, liecause they never give it
any exercise.
Common sense never was considered
very fashionable—by those who have
none of their own.
Times would be much better if the
croakers and calamity howlers would
give them a chance.
The cool mornings and dry weather
we have been having this week has
put crops on a stand-still.
The outlook for a splendid melon
crop is promising, although shipments
will be a little behind those of last
season.
Some of the papers intimate that
Tom Watson has gone back to the
practiee of law in order to lie receiver
for the Third Party.
Fort Gaines has two or three ice
dealers who seem to ha\e determined
towoiry through the dull summer
months as coolly as possible.
Mr. X. J. Lewis having opened an
new ice house has just received a car¬
load of the Americus ice. Bead his
advertisement in another column.
The leather trust has “cornered*’
ou leather, in consequence of which
there is an advance of 20 per cent, on
the price of shoes. Cleveland did it.
Farmers are giving their undivided
attention to their crops, in consequence
of which trade is distressingly dull in
town. The wind-up will he all for
tin* best, we trust.
1 here was something radically wrong
with the weather department last Sun
day and Monday. A consignment
. probably intended for some northern
clime got switched off in this direction.
Our military boys are still talking
of a grand picnic and military parade
on the Glorious Fourth, and we hope
it will he a be. They desire us to
thank the ladies of the town for their
liberal encouragement.
A motion for a new trial tn the case
of the State vs. Allen Peterson, con¬
victed at the last term of Clay supe¬
rior court, was heard by Judge Harde¬
man in Randolph superior court this
week. A new trial was granted.
For some weeks past Jimmy Cole¬
man has suffered considerable from
blood poison, occasioned from a slight
cut on the first finger on his left hand.
The hand and arm become badly
swollen, and mortification having set
in, the amputation of the finger w*as
deemed necessary, which operation
was successfully performed bv 3)rs.
Wimberly and Sharpe one day this
week.
A disgusting anomaly in the social or¬
der of things are the beings who,having
made a failure of everything in life
except in exposing their own ignor
ancc and obnoxious propensities, set
themselves up as critics of the opinions,
conduct an I affair'- of those who,unlike
themselves.arc a- least making an hon
esteJffo,rt to accomplish some good.
If they could see themselves as others
sec them they would go off and slick
their heads under a clay root.
Among the many enterprises that
might be profitably operated in Fort
Gaires is a fruit canning factory.
There is an abundance of fruits raised
in the surrounding country, which for
the lack of a market is as a commodity
useless to the producers, when it might
be made a source of considerable rev¬
enue to them and a nice profit to some
enterprising capitalist. We are relia¬
bly informed that the cost of machin¬
ery, expense of operation, etc., is very
small. Wont somebody embrace this
opportunity to put money in their own
pockets and at the same time benefit
their neighbors ?
What the t.'ammiaaiancr Mar*.
Tallahassee. Fla., July 31, 1894.
I take this occasion to say that Dr.
Simmons’ Hepatine cured me of sick
headache, and as long as the medicine
lusted my wiie and I found great relief
whenever we had headache by tak¬
ing it. Yours very truly.

The picnic* at Day «fc Quattlebaum*
mill last Saturday was a success ii>
1 every respect. The day was an idea
one, ar.d while the crowd present was
not so large as was expected, it was
just large enough for everybody pres.
: cut to enjoy a liberal share of the
pleasures of the occasion.
Social converse and political gossip
served the older people as a means
of pleasure, while various games and
a little conversation of a tenderer nn
ture than that engaged in by the old
folk, caused time to pass for the young
people on tleet wings of merrymaking,
i The dinner was a most excellent one,
consisting of the various delicacies the
; good ladies of that community know
so well how to prepare, besides an
abundance of the “substantiate,” all
of which was heartily partaken of and
immensely enjoyed.
Mr. Quattlebaum, of the enterpris¬
ing firm of Day & Quattlebaum, had
shut down the mill for the day, but
true to his obliging disposition, tired
up the engine and demonstrated the
modus operand*! of the shingle machine
and other fixtures of their well equip
P« d »‘ iU for the accommodation of
those who had never seen such raa*
cltinery in motion.
Mr. N. J. Lewis went out from town
; dispense lemonade and milk shakes
^ jj ie (jiirsty, and his presence seem,
ed to be appreciated.
It was a nice affair, and as such was
duly appreciated.
[Qjr’Ladies, go to F. E. Sanders’, at
Bluffton, to buy Oxford Ties, Slippers
and Ladies’ Fine Shoes. We have
the best line in Clay county, or Early
either. We will positively sell Dry
Goods, Clothing, Shoes and Hats
cheaper than any firm in twenty miles
of Bluffton T. ,1. Sanders.
A series of interesting meetings in
progress at the Presbyterian church
this week are a source of enjoyment
and, we trust, spiritual good to our
churchgoing people, as well as many
who are not so regular in their attend¬
ance at church. The pastor, Rev. Mr.
Craig, is ably assisted by Rev. Mr.
Hyde, of Cordele, whose foeible ser¬
mons and comprehensive interpreta¬
tion of the scriptures are listened to
with marked interest by large congre¬
gations. We trust the meeting may
prove a blessing to the church and to
the people generally.
Yes, I am back in Bluffton, where
I expect to remain, and if you want
goods cheap call on me at F. E. San¬
ders, and 1 will do my clean best to
please you. Yours truly,
Jeff Whatley.
From Dnyville, Jr. /
Mr. A. W. Holley was in Dayville
last Friday afternoon.
Mr. Clarence Weaver was in our
villc last Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Frank McCorkle and nephew,
Master Ben McLendon, paid Dayville
a visit last Sunday.
«*
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Day and little
Daughter, Lizzie, attended preaching
at Mt. Gilead last Sunday.
Dayville can boast of fine vegetables.
With such as beans, Irish potatoes and
beets we are in the lead.
The dining given by Mrs. Pierce last
Sunday was indeed quite a nice affair,
and was enjoyed by all present.
Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Hammock and
little son, Master Willie D., spent last
Saturday night at Mr. Peter Day’s.
Mr. Frank Jernigan and sisters,
Misses Minnie and Catherine, visited
their sister, Mrs. Pierce last Saturday
Sunday.
We arc glad indeed to know that
Mr. Threadcloth hived the runaway
bees. Hope he will soon get honey
enough to make that sweetened water
he was wishing for.
On returning to our home last Sat¬
urday afternoon we found quite a
crowd oi young folk awaiting us, also
bee-robbing going on. Of course we
had a very sweet time for awhile.
By the way, we did go to the picnic,
but we missed the treat. As we did
not go until the afternoon we were not
there in time to hear the speaking.
AU present seemed to be enjoyingl
themselves.
As we are averse to newspaper con¬
troversy and have no desire to become
engaged in such, this will be our last
communication for awhile. But will
say if we have said anything to wound
the feelings of any one we are ready
to take it all back, and only wish we
had said more to take back.

While here this week Mr. T. J.
Sanders, of Bluffton, informed us that
the business men of that place have
gone to work in earnest to secure a
telephone line from that plaee to eith¬
er Fort Gaines or Blakely. Such an
enterprise would soon pay for itself,
and Fort Gaines can afford to subscribe
liberally to the stock in order to get it,
Bluffton also wants a mail route from
that place by way of Wesley Chapel.
This, too, is an enterprise that would
he worth much to Fort Gaines, and
should be unanimously encouraged.

Mr. ,T. W. Nutlive, Clay county’s
worthy superior court clerk, who spent
last season in Cincinnati as the repre¬
sentative of two of our most extensive
melon growers, having finished up all
the business of the courts, will leave
his office in charge of his deputy and
again work that market this season,
soliciting consignments of melon grow¬
ers generally. Ills trip there last year
was made as an experiment, the suc¬
cess of which was so satisfactory as to
induce him to return. He handled
quite a number of ears, and the aver¬
age net proceeds returned to the pro¬
ducers were the best received in sever¬
al seasons. Mr. Sutlive’s extensive
acquaintance m this section and his
acknowledged promptness in the dis¬
charge of business insures him the
hulk of the crop here, and we feel con¬
fident he will have numerous consign¬
ments from other sections. His busi¬
ness integrity is universally appreciated
by his acquaintances, and the Senti¬
nel, from long acquaintance with him,
can assure shippers that every car will
be conscientiously disposed of and
every dollar due liiern will be promptly
remitted.
