What lovely days Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday were! The at
mosphere imparted brightness and
mvigoration,
Mrs Qamuol Chiles, accompanied
by her younger children, Annie
Drue and Louise; went to Macon
Monday to visit her sister Mrs. F. S.
Johnson.
Mr. J. R Chilos will have ou ex
hibition at the Fair next week a very
fine pair of south down sheep, no
doubt the finest, by far, in Joucs
County.
The latest fad with Clintonites is
that of going to Macon by private
conveyance. Both JaditfS and gen
tlemen are adopting that reliable
mode now.
There ore several very* fine turnip
patches in Clinton. ^A sensible
housewife said to us a day or two
sinco: “An old saw is ‘fine turnip
means meat is scare*.’ ”
Mr. Ja a . A. Morgan who smiles

returned in time to attend Sabbath
School in Clinton.
Hunters complain of scarcity 61
partiidges, and also that the birds,
when found, arc small and not well
grown.- Probably as the rank gras.*
and weeds die down, more of them
may bo “flushed.”
Wo place several now exchanges
on our list this week, among them
the “Rockdale Banner” published
at Conyers, Editor J, R. Maddox at
the helm. The Weekly press
Georgia is the best in the United
States.
Miss Lois Johnson is visiting Mis*
Lizzie Robertson of High Shoals and
will be from homy several weeks.
Miss Robertson and Miss Johnson
were friends at Lucy Cobb last year
and their reunion no doubt will bo
very pleasant.
Mr. E. M. Landrum, of Emory
College, spent Saturday evoning
and Sunday in Clinton, the guest of
F. M: Stewart. Mr. L. made
himself agreeably popular during
hia stay in tbo old red town, and
finds a cordial welcome when ever
he returns.
Mr. H. S. Greaves, we are glad to
state, is much better and able to be
out again. He was quite unwell last
week, during the bad spell of weath.
or. Miss Sue Iioss is also much im
proved from the severe attack
sickness from which she suffered
Court week.
Go to the Fair next week every
body and carry all the family.
Tbero will bo much to instruct and
interest you. Time and money will
bo safely invested. Brush up your
old clothes (if not able to buy new)
and go and seo what the grand old
state of Georgia ia doing.
Warehousemen of Macon are con
gratulating themselves upon tbo
farmer's prompt payment of
papers while professional men at
home complain of no collections.
However it is thought that the far
mer understands what ho is about
and finds it to his interest to pay
his city d n bts first. Short crops are
enough to discourage and Cjtuse the
wrinkles to gather on his brow.
At the Hancock Fair last week
Dr. Frank Denham exhibited 114
medicinal herbs, named and speci
fied. W. L. Coleman had two bams
weighing 40 and 41 lbs. apiece. W.

was a success though rains cut the
gate receipts off considerably.

Fair next week.
Tho Delaware county farmer who
recently advertised for a wife has
already received over 100 letters
from women of various ages, who
are willing to marry him. The ad
vertiser is said to bo 60 years old
and very well to do.
There are more ways to get work
out of a young man than paying or
scolding him. This fact has been
demonstrated in the case of a young
man living near here, When he
happens to sec his adored one Sun
day for the next six days there is
but one trouble with him and that
is to keep him from over-working
himself. Such is the effect of love!
