This day and occasion lias not
generally observed in past
years ns if deserves. No county
has made such a sacrifice, scarce¬
ly a family that has not laid a
loved and honored member on its
alter. When our minds revert to
those days of carnage and privn-
tions, we are for a while unroeon-
ntructed. It is well the human
mind adverts with the times, oth-
j erwisewe would be a nation de¬
mented with grief and sorrow,
Let us then consider their deeds
of valor, aside from the carnage
and suffering. The iofty charac¬
ter and vicarious punishment of
Mr. Davis was a deserving theme,
omitted hv most of the speakers.

Last February, after the heavy
rains, wo carried twenty-six dozen
eggs to Macon. The washout was
us steep on u branch that we had
to walk a pole across two creeks,
but we carried them through with
but few breaks. ’ Perhaps if
Ike Goins had used the same dil-
ig,mce and care he would have had
better luck. If I was that
null would not trust anv more
’
eggs with Goins, “sho.” -
Mr. J. A. Walker is lamenting
the oversight which deprived him
of bacon last fall. This spring in
cleaning the box to pack invnv
new hams found three in the ash-

The funniest thing I’ve seen
since Polly j inert t he masons, was
a half drunk fellow trying to chew
a rusty J screw, which had been
purposely given him with a half
dozen cloves lie was walloping
around in his verba! sausage mill
in order to disguise tin' scent of
the do-me-good, of which he had
too freely imbibed. 1 thought “in
my soul” the fool would break ev¬
ery tooth he had trying to grind
up the screw. He would shut first
one eye, then the other, then both.
His neck veins looked like they
would burst, while he frowned his
face into wrinkles that looked
like a tobacco bag when the string
is pulled to close it. It was too
f inny to see t! © poor follow come
down on the screw with his teeth,
with both hands under his chin,
periling up with all his might,
while lie trembled all over like a
leaf, jerked up first one foot then
the other, as if on a hot rock, and
bent over like he was going to
sneeze. After all the cloves had
been ground into powder, except
the screw, my limber friend spat
it out and said: “That blamed
green ” one aint no good.’’ p Jiigt

Miss Fannie Lou Colbert, of
