Sayings and Doings Chronicled as They

County— Interesting Items
One of the finest pieces of corn
we have seen is that of Tom Leight
fortli, col., just on the other side
of Sugar creek on the Pondtown
road. He also has fine cotton.
Tom is a one-armed darkey but
is hard to beat when it comes
farming.
I noticed tlie farm of Mr. C. H
Peacock Tuesday and will say that
what I saw of it is seldom
passed in this country. Mr. P.
a farm that any man would
proud to own He now has several
bolls of cotton open in the field.
There is not less than a dozen
full-grown bachelors in the vicin¬
ity (even the pastor) of Central
Point—the majority of them are
interested on the same line. Well,
if you don’t succeed this time, old
fellow, tell us your troubles and
we will give you a few points.
I was out at the revival meeting
at Central Point last week and
had a very pleasant time. I visit¬
ed the home of Mr. Steve Law the
first day and partook of a very fine
dinner. That night I stayed
with Mr. I. N. Bowen and ate cat
fish to a finish. Mr. Bowen prom¬
ised to let me come again.
The second day, in company
with Rev. J. C. Brewton, Miss
Mamie Wall and Mr. Jack Wilcox,
1 fed at the home of Mr. B. II
Harrell. I can’t say too much
of the host and hostess of that
lovely home. After dinner we
repaired to the church for after¬
noon service—returning home at a
late hour.
Rev. Emmett Dickens, assisted
by Rev. J. C. Brewton, closed the
revival at Central Point Monday
with seven accessions by baptism.
Rev. J. T. Rogers, assisted by
Rev. Jasper Henderson, is con¬
ducting a revival at Isham Springs.
Rev. R. G. P. McKinnon closed
his meeting at Lynwood Monday
with twenty-five accessions.
Mr. H. J. Day, who lives at
Gudwinsville, in trying to clean a
well on his place, found the air in
such condition that it was impos¬
sible for a man to live in it long
enough to do the necessary work.
Mr Day secured a hose (such as is
used for sprinkling the streets)
and attached it to his shop bel¬
lows. Then he pumped fresh air
into the well, enabling him to do
the work without any inconven
lence.
Air. Ike Bowen comes to the
front this week with a twenty-six
pound muskmelon.

The Albany Herald—We Welcome
Him to Eastman.
“Prof. W. T. Gaulden, for four
years Assistant Principal of the
Albany Academy, has been elected
Principal of the high school at
Eastman, Ga. Professor Gaulden
made many friends in Albany
during the four years of his con¬

and he will be missed not only in
the school room where he labored
so faithfully, but in the church
and in society'. To the good peo¬
ple of Eastman we commend Pro¬
fessor Gaulden, not only as a
teacher, but as a man. He is a
Christian gentleman and a man
of character, and they will find
him all that he pretends to he,
and even more, not only in the
school room, but in society and all
the essentials of good citizenship.”
We clip the above from the
Albany' Herald of a recent date.
As will be seen, Prof. Gaulden
comes among us highly recom¬
mended and he wjll undoubtedly
receive a cordial welcome to East¬

EASTMAN GAINS THE GAME
Wrightsville Eleven,Eastman Fifteen.
This Afternoon

This Evening.
! Z^!' v ^' V rkIi
Thursday afternoon resulted in a
victory' for Eastman by a score
of 15 to 11.
The game was called at 1 o’clock
and was interesting throughout.
For the first four innings our hoys
shut out the visitors, but then
luck changed and it began to look
as if Wrightsville would gain the
victory', but our boys played man
lully with the above result.
Though exciting the game was
pleasant throughout, and the um¬
pire, Mr. L. J. Kent, of Wrights
vill, gave universal satisfaction.
At night the Wrightsville Dra¬
matic Company presented ‘Haunt¬
ed by a Shadow’ at the opera
house and was greet ed by a packed
house.
The visitors wore entertained at
the Norris house, and that they
were well taken care of is evi¬
denced by a card of thanks from
them elsewhere in this issue.
The Wrightsville team is com¬
posed of clever, gentlemanly boys,
who will ever receive a cordial wel¬
come in Eastman.
This (Thursday) afternoon at
8:B0 o’clock, the Dublin baseball
club will meet our club on the
Eastman diamond. Things have
been put in fine shape out at the
grounds, and if it be possible, flic
evening will pass even more pleas¬
antly than last Thursday.
To-night Victor J. Erhart,
concert premier soloist,
acknowledged king of American
violinists, assisted by our best
local talent, will give a concert at
the opera house.
There is no use of comment—
the name of Victor Erhart is suf¬
ficient. We should feel honored
in having this wonderful musician
with us and of course we will all
be out to hear him.
The admission price will be
thirty-five cents, twenty-five cents
for children and fifty cents for re¬
served chairs.
Re on Time.
As will be seen, there are sev¬
eral communications in this issue
which should have appeared last
week, but which reached us too
late for publication.
To insure publication, letters
should not reach us later than
Tuesday of each week and we
wo uld prefer to receive them on
Monday, Correspondents will
please bear this in mind.
