A T ou can always find ice during the summer months at the store of Keller A Goddard, Haddi cks. The Georgia watermelon is pa¬ triotic. It opens up is great shape on Cm 4th of July. Mrs. John Clark and children, of Fortvillo, hoarded the train at .Gray last Saturday and attended f he'exercises at Round Oak day. Our regular hatch of news from Haddock failed to appear this week. Guess the “old vets” have their hair in paper curling for v iinnmncemont week. Clever E. P. Hunt, of Round ( •ak, dropped in to see us yoster- d y. His sectoii claims no betti r citizen, and Jones county claims no more enterprising town than Round Oak. Mrs. Austin has retured home accompanied by her brother, Capt. Bah Barron, who is -considerably improved. They have moved out near Clinton, where they, with Capt, Bob’s two bright little children, will keep house.

Ho left this week for Tif- t n,where he goes to combine bus¬ iness with pleasure, endeavoring to turn an honest penny ere he re¬ turns in the fall. He enters the Senior class next term. Judge Ross has a communica¬ tion in to-day’s issue urging the people to take some interest in having the county represented at Macon’s peach carnival next month. Wo hope that the people will look upon it in a favorable light, and show to the balance of the State that old Jones has not only as good fruit as lie 1 sis- ter counties, but that it is a fallacy when they tel! yon that all of our ambitious and enterprising citi- zens have moved away. Let the county be represented. We owe it to Macon; we owe it to ourselves, Clinton's Sunday-school had tlirir pienie last Saturday. Wt learn that it was an eujnyalde oeeasion.

Dr. Nelson, of Macon, will preach the com¬ mencement sermon in the school house at 11 o’clock. The exerci¬ ses will continue on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, to which the public arc cordially invited. Quite a crowd from this place and Clinton went to Round Oak last Sunday and witnessed the .i,.i,;u,.,„,*. . 1 ,,,. •• The program was an appropriate one, and the Sunday-school.which is composed largely of very young children, carried it out in a very creditable maimer. Superinfeiul- cut Hunt and his assistants have just cause to be proud of tlmir Sunday-school and their credita¬ ble observance of “children's day.” The crowd present was a large one, but Round Oak, in her usual hospitable way, right roy¬ ally cared for them.
