While the crowd was gathering
to witness the closing exercises of
the school at James lust Monday
night, there waH a romantic scene
just up the road in front of the
residence of John Brow n, in which
more than one was interested.
In or near that community lived
a fascinating young lady by the
name of Miss Estella Balkcum,
who had among other suitors for
her hand, Mose Wood and Porter
Hmderson. The parents of the
young jady filed objections to Mr.
Henderson, and for Mr. Wood
every thing seemed to lie smooth¬
ly sailing, hut alas, he put in one
figure too many in his calculation,
and when lie carried her to the
above named place it was but to
meet an engagement previously
made with his rival, who took the
young lady in his own buggy, and
drove to the front of the residence
of Mr. Brown, where sitting in the
buggy, in the shadow of the trees,
and the peeping stars as silent
• witnesses they were made man
and wife. It is said that Judge
Barron, who accidently (?) at¬
tended the exercises that night,
aiid who performed the happy ceremony,
was in an unusually frame
of blind while making their bliss
complete, but after returning to
the crowd at the school house his
sympathetic nature the was so
wrought upon by appearance
of “theother fellow” that he hur¬
ried off home without witnessing
the exercises that he rode so far
to see. The News extends con¬
gratulations to the happy Couple,
and would, if it could, console the
man yet single. .

The light showers of the past
week have encouraged tho farm¬
ers so much they' have gone to
work with a vim.
The meeting at Pitt’s chappel
proved to I e quite a sacc; s •. The

being being “companionship.”
The afternoon was spent very
pleasantly’,especially’ by’ the young

plain the matter satisfactorily to
Luke. He finally consented to de¬
sist if they would take special
care of him and show him the way
hack to Holt’s corner next. day’.

COM Bid M ENTARY TO TWO
"YUl NG LADIES IN WHOM
JONES IS INTERESTED.
THEY TAKE A HOOD STAND IN
C0I.I.E0K.
At the closing commencement
exercises of the Georgia Female
Seminary, of Gainesville, Ga.,
Miss I’enrl Butts was awarded two
medals, one for excellency in Lat¬
in, tin 1 other for Biblical studies.
Miss May Butts took a splendid
stand in nil her classes, and came
near tying with her sister for the
Biblical medal. These young la¬
dies are the granddaughters of Mr
S. D. Julian, of Jones county.
Reading over the above mv
mind goes back to seemingly a few
short years ago, when May, then
a little stranger, first came to vis¬
it us. It was a lovely winter’s
night when she reached our home.
Her mama placed a bundle of
wraps in mv arms, and glancing
down I beheld a pair of wonder¬
ing blue eyes looking out upon the
moonlit world, and the softest
sweetest baby face imaginable.
A few years later came Pearl, a
merry little elf, full of life and
playfulness, a contrast to little
mild-eyed May. As tin* children
grew older 1 spent many pleasant
hours with them often wondering
at the remarkableintelligence dis¬
played by children of so tender
years. When school life began
they entered into their studies
with an earnestness that gave
promise of their future career.
Blessed with bright minds and re¬
tentive memory they made rapid
progress in all their studies, im¬
proving the golden moments as
they passed. Now we find them
still pressing onward with the
same zeal that characterized their
child hood days. May success
crown their every effort and may
the Senior class of ’90 have for
them a shining record. Recluse

The drought still remains un¬
broken, and corn, cotton and all
vegetables very much in need of
rain. We liavn’t had enough to
fy’t out pot/itooe in four wootfu..
Gen. Green has at last been
conquered.; Ji.e hated to give up,
hut the farmers, with the assist¬
ance of old . Sul, succeeded in ex¬
terminating him. /,•
Some of the farmers have bar-
yested good crops of grain. Why
can’t they all try this plan?
Some of our hoys robbed a bee
tree not many nights ago. They
got a chance of honey as well as a
quantity of stings. One was stung
so badly about the face that next
morning when he awoke he looked
in the mirror and did not know
i.imself, and said to his mother,
“mother is this John?”
E. T. Morion spent lust Thurs-
day in the Central City.
W. H. Wright ’s house came
very near being destroyed by lire
last Thursday, but it was proven-
ted by the good work of some no-
groes.
Henry Wheeler, of Bradley, was
down with us Sunday last.
Rev. E. W. Sammons delivered
a fine discourse at Klein last Sun¬ '*
day’. He was assisted by Rev.
Sam’l. Tharp, of Twiggs county.
The crowd was rather small, ow¬
ing to preaching at Pitt’s Chappel
J. W. Burnett, one of our far-
mers, says he is going to raise
enough cotton. He has 05 acres
in cultivation and only runs two
plows, yet he has a good supply of
corn as well as cotton.
Wo hope our correspondent at
James will give the closing exer-
cises of their school t'li t notice
which it so richly deserves, We
intended to do so ourselves hut
our correspondents came at tak¬ us
with a rush and our space was
en up with their dots. The good
people of that flourishing little
village are justly proud of she their
school and teacher, and cer¬
tainly deserves the congratula¬
tions of all for (lie entertainment
that she gave. Tin children of
that community, are ' endowed
with talants that are being
10. brought out anil cultivated. Dr.
C. Gibson, certainty found a
ergy and restless disposition. It
he would only take his county pa-
per he would be bet ter equipped to
work for the up-building of his
section.
