At the Poor Farm we found everything in good condition ; that there is plenty of everything excapt 1 a few head of hogs. The condi tions warrant the purchasing of ten or twelve head of hogs and we ! recommend that this be done. We find the jail in bad condition. . The lloor extremely dirty and no spittoons; consequently the floor and walls are badly besmeared with tobacco juice. Also, that there are two places where pipes have been put in that need repair ing. We recommend that the old wind-mill be torn down, as from examining same we find consequent ly, it is a the frame to be rotten ; menace to life.

This can be done by proper authorities lay ing these verage that has already bet n bought.

Several gentjemon were in the jail last night talking to J. G. Rawlings when one of them said: j You know what I believe? 1 believe that you hired Alf Moore to go and kill old Carter, but you never dreamed that he was going to kill those children—ain’t that so?” “That’s right,” said Rawlings. “If it wasn’t that way,” said the first speaker, “you hired him to go and exterminate the family and sent your boys along to help him do it.” Rawlings made no reply to this last suggestion, but it evidently had a stirring effect pon him. —Valdosta Times.

Mr. Beal, of the Dodson print ers’ Supply Company, of Atlanta, was in town this week, and car ried away some orders for new material for this paper. Have you heard the gospel evangelist ‘round at the tent? No? Well, go to-night; does’nt cost a cent. The preminm list for the fair is pretty full and conplete. Some handsome prizes are offered. You going to try for one, did you | say ? Berrien county is invited to come to the fair and take a hand in the races. Editor Sweat of Nashville may come and bring his Texas pony. You are angry with some one and do not want to make-up ? Well, that’s bad, sure; you wont have any business at the gospel tent. then. Fine choir that, with fifty voi- 1 ces in the chorus. It does’nt cost you anything to hear it, ‘round at the Gospel Tent. Some good advice given with it. Free? Yes, it is all free. Mrs. Turrentine bought out the stock of the Davis Millinery Go. at a big discount, and if you go to see her now you stand tne chance for a cheap hat. No, we do not think she has any for a nickel.
