tended and some line singing was
the result.
The City Council has let the
bars down, and old Sis Cow can
go out and eat the grass. Sis
Cow is very thankful.
I am doing my best to “obey
the law and to keep my mouth
shut,” but first thing you know
I am going to tell something.
Ruth Mills having gone home
and left Daisy here, 1 guess I’ll
take out letters of guardianship
and scoop her under my wdr.g.
Wonder if it would be possible
to get that big Cannon, down at
Hart’s Furniture Store, off to the
war before he is conscripted ?
Some of the boys say they are
not old enough to go to the army.
I know some that were old
enough to get drunk and vote
last December.
Sallie says she paid one hun
dred dollars, and not one dollar, 1
for a calico dress in 1864. lam !

pay that much now.

in town Monday, and came to
see me for a moment.
E. M. Tanner, of Nicholls,
came in Tuesday and said he

behind the plow to go to the war,
but he thinks the towns can sup
ply soldiers for the armies while
the farmers furnish feed for the
country.
1 don’t like Lucile Kirkland’s
new hat. It looks like a wagon
hub with the spokes and the rim
I broken off. But she is pretty
enough to make anything look
nice.
Clyde Ferguson, at Ambrose,
did not come to see me last Mon
day, .but sent Lucille Kirkland j

near going to the waste basket

a paragraph for each item.
Lucille Kirkalnd, of Wray, was
in town last Monday. This is
the first time she has been to see

put her if she didn’t behave. She
behaved.

husband. He is not so hard to
please about his clothes and cook
ing, and Sallie knows what she
is talking about.

sweet girl; knowing her as I do,
she is a good girl, none better.

| One farmer in Pulaski county

phonographs, and when he is not

Eye is mighty Cute.”

Jim Cowart, our janitor at the j
court house, says he is ready for
the army when he si wanted. All
the colored men that are in sym
pathy with their white country
men, and true to their country
are ready to go. Those that are
not must be made to go, for it is
as much their duty as any one
else.
A telegram from Rome, Italy,
last week, published in the Chi
cago Blade, says the “Germans
are grinding up the bodies of
I their own dead soldiers and their
enemies to use in the manufac
ture of fertilizers.” Don’t doubt
lit, for the Germans have proven
| themselves to be capable of any
thing.
Cora and Tonie Right have
ibeen flyign around and cuffing
up the boys again. Tonie kick
ed Charlie Grantham last Sun
day, caught on Willie Arnold and
Cora pulled Dewey in out of the

am always a quarter of a mile
behind.
Well, Mr. Rutlege brought the
mess of nice, new irish potatoes
he told me about, but he was
talking to his good wife just
before he left home, she was
telling him what color of thread
she wanted, and hanged if he
didn’t forget the piece of meat.
But, it was all right, for one of
neighbors snet in some butter.
The first thing Monday morn
ing three or four women of the
colored way of carving each
other into mince meat, had a
fracas in the southern part of
town. Two of them used a dou
ble-barrel butcher knife on their
victim, while she defended her
self wth a two and a half inch
pocket knife. No funerals yet.
There’s a fellow at Zirkle who
is sitting up to a pretty widow
down there like a sick kitten to
a hot brick, dna a few days ago
one of the soldier boys sidled up
to her. Brogden is so jealous
that he threatens to attack the
first submarine that comes up
the river single handed. Get the
bucket of tar, Joe! Get the tar.
quick!
Georgia Wilcox is hoeing pin
ders. and says if 1 will come and
ehlp her she “will give me a
pocket full of plums for every
round I make across the field."
That sounds nice, but Georgia
lis so tricky that I’d have to
have the plums in advance, be
cause if J didn’t she’d eat ’em
all up before I could get back
from the other end of the field.
M. R. Jowers, of Wray, says
the boll weevil is eating up his
cotton. He is an extensive far
mer, has sixty-five acres in can
taloupes, 125 acres in corn and
200 in cotton. With a fine pros
pect for everything except cot
ton he is still in a good humor
with the world. He is one of the
fortunate farmers who has re
ceived a pair of fine pigs as a gift
from the First National Bank of
Fitzgerald.
Frank McKinnon, who lives a
few miles south of the city, and
who is one of our most success
ful farmers, had his entire crop
of cotton, corn, water melons and
potatoes ruined by a hail storm
last Tuesday, about one o’clock
in the afternoon. He had a fine
crop of everything, 60 acres of
cotton, all chopped out but a few
rows. There is no one that sym
pathises with Frank McKinnon
more than I do, for it is impossi
ble to estimate his loss.
Some girls in a north Georgia
town rae starting at the entrance
of the recruiting station, and
after each young man enlists
kisses him for his mother. One
girl kissed forty-three last Th-urs
day and it was not a good day
for kissing either. Four of the
new soldiers went home with
four of the girls, and when they
left that night four of the girls
had promised four happy boys to
wait for them until this cruel
war was over. It may be added
however, that these boys and
girls had known each other for
some time.
Little Dollie Scott, up near
Summer says: Uncle Jim: The
hail has ruined our corn and
cotton, but the worst of it all
was, while I was running from
the kitchen to the house, my
kitten tried to follow me and a
big ball of hail hit it on the head
and killed the poor little thing.
I am so sorry about my poor lit
tle kittie. It was so pretty and
innocent and was white all over
except its little head and tail. I
am so lonesome since kitty is
dead. Uncle Jim, and I want you
[to pray for me and my poor dead
;kitfy, won’t you?” I am very
[sorry for you Dollie, and for kit
ty, too, but I don’t know hardly
how to begin to pray for kitty.
That is something new for me,
but while I am praying for you
I’ll have to try and slip in a line
or two for poor little dead kitty.
Gracious, what will these young
ones want me'to do next?
