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. . PIPPIN ITEMS. The pa.-t week lias been fine for farmers, and lots of grain saved. A.

The meeting at Pitt’s chappel proved to I e quite a sacc; s •. The services were conducted by Rev. Harvey of Macon, who gave us an able and earnest talk, his subject being being “companionship.” The afternoon was spent very pleasantly’,especially’ by’ the young people. Uncle Bill Roberts and his faithful wife were at church Sun¬ day’, it being his first time in a quarter of a century*. He says he came to encourage the younger generation,and last, hut not least, to get a good dinner, as he would have been left by himself without a cook, .

It took a good while for them to ex¬ plain the matter satisfactorily to Luke.

They assured him they would, hut it was with much hesitation that he released his hold upon him. popeVferry.

Goudov. 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 MORTON ITEMS. r. 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. Macon and Northern R. R. Co. Timo Tablo No 1 TAKING EFFECT At 11.80 a. m.
