LEGAL ORGAN OF COFFEE, COUNTY. for our country and her people, first and all THE TIJ &e\ VOL 14, No. 25 Grand Chaplain Portor Visits “State of Coffee.” Rev. W. E. Porter, of Brunswick, Ga., grand chaplain of the grand, lodge of Odd Fellows of Georgia. ; has been on a “swing around the \ circle” and finds such a wonderful j boom in Coffee county, both in Odd Fellowship and cqmmerciully, that he wishes to lay before our readers the great possibilities of that won derful county of Georgia, which is just beginning to attract the out side world, and which has been facetiously dubbed the “state of Coffee.” Ilis letter to the lodge depart ment follows : Brother Rice—l have-just return ed from a trip to the “State of Coffee.” My, what a hive of industry I found there! The busy hum caused by the hustling people of that county in their pursuit of the many enterprises in which they are engaged was as music to my ears. In Douglas buildings are go ing up on every hand, causing a glow of happiness to the many mechanics who find employment upon them. I was anxious to be in Douglas in time to see their new I. O. O. F. lodge instituted, on Thursday night the 22nd, but was unable to do so, arriving the next day. My, what a royal time they must have had! Fitzgerald Odd Fellows, old.

At Nichols I found another fine lodge of Odd Fellows, No. 193. It is the result j of the earnest work of our brother, j Dr. Vincent, of Muscogee lodge, No. 6, of Columbus. Although young, they have built a nice hall, which is nicely arranged for work ing purposes. I had the pleasure of attending with them a special service at the Baptist church, where Brother Rev. J. I. Oxtord, of Fulton lodge, preached them a ser mon full of good advice and exhor tation. I feel that we will hear more from No. 193 in the near future. Wishing you success in your efforts to do good to the orders, I am yours in F. L. and T. REV. W. E. PORTER. Brunswick, Ga. Grand Chaplain. —Lodge Dept. Atlanta Journal. There’s Ne Particular Secret- About making flour and yet given the same mill, same machin ery and same wheat, no two mill ers will make flour exactly alike. Besides the techinal skill there’s a “knack” in making flour and Bransford’s miller has it to an ex ceptional degree. That’s one rea son why “Clifton” proves so dis tressingly popular that wherever it is sold, competitors are obliged to recognize it as a standard and offer their flour as “just as good.” —Market Trading Co. Douglas, Ga., November 14, 1903. PHILLIPS MILL. Phillips Mill, Ga., Nov. 10, 1903. —Rev. Mr. James Bishop, of Ash ton, preached two very interesting sermons at New Hope church Satur day and Sunday. The fanners near here are very busy now digging potatoes and grinding cane. Mr. J. C. Corbett, formerly of Phillips Mill lias accepted a position in the turpentine business at Florala, Ala. Ilis many friends of this place regretted to see him leave but wish him great success. A very good rain fell in this section last Wednesday a. m.. which was very much needed. Mr. Tommie Harrison, of this place, entered school in Douglas last Tuesday was a week ago. We trust he will have great success at school. Rev. Mr. Oxford, of Douglas, was called by the members of New Hope church to preach for them another year. It is hoped that he can fill liis appointments. Guess what girl had three escorts with her at preaching last Sunday? Never mind. Mrs. H. F. Brown and children, of Ambrose, visited her mother Mrs. T. 11. Brown of here last Friday. Messers. Reason Griffin and Eddie Merritt, of this place, went to Douglas on business last Thurs day. We regret very mucli to learn that Mr. Ben Joyce’s little girl, . ..it a.,,, Lii.,, has been *ll ill lie ada Gong, is still very i 1!. We arg in ; hopes that she may soon be restored to health again.

T he Female Performers- The female performers with Howe’s Great London Shows and Sanger’s Royal Menagerie and Trained Animal exhibition which is advertised to give two exhibitions afternoon and night at Douglas, Ga., on Saturday. Nov. 21., are without a doubt the nerviest and Mijost acrhite performers in the known world the enormity of their strength caused by continuous athletic work such as the living trapeze, sister acts, leaping, tumb hng, riding horses bare back, going at break-neck speed, and perform ing hundreds of difficult feats is unknown. The TTowe’s Great London Shows have engaged at a large salary a troup of female al ters that are wonders of the nine teenth century. You Know What You Are Taking.
