S. H. HADDOCK.
Many from this section of tho
county attended the Primitive
Baptist association which was
held at Enon church, in Putnam
county, last Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Wo wish to impress the faet up¬
on our correspondents that to a
very great extent we are depend¬
ent upon them to make the paper
interesting, and hope they will let
us hear from them regularly,
Mr. W M James has moved his
family to Gray and is conducting
a blacksmith and general repair
shop here. Mr. James ones con¬
ducted a shop at this place and
his work gave general satisfaction.
Prof, Ernest W. Childs, for¬
merly of this county but now
county school commissioner of
Randolph county, visited rela¬
tives in the county a few days
this week. Prof. Childs has re¬
cently been appointed by Gov.
Terrell a member of the sub com¬
mittee of the uniform text book
commission.
A. T. Small. East Macon, Ga.,
has an advertisement in another
column to which we invite the at¬
tention of our readers. Mr,Small
is one of the most favorably
known general merchants in Ma¬
con. By fair dealing and reason¬
able prices he has built up a good
trade in Ibis county, which he
propose to keep by the same meth¬
ods.
Mr. and Mrs. Emory Nowell
spent last Sunday with the fami¬
ly of Mr. I. W. Nowell. It will
be news to the many friends of
Mr. Nowell to learn that he was
married on August 18 to Miss
Minor Wade, a charming young
lady of Birmingham, Ala. They
are making their home at Bir
iningham where Mr. Nowell is
conducting a successful life in¬
surance buainess, j
From Round Oak.
School opened hero Monday
morning for the fall term, with
Mr. E. E. Miller, of Perry, as
teacher. Mr. Miller is a new man
to us and it is left for tho future
to determine what sort of grist
tho new Miller will produce from
the literary mill lie lias taken
charge of.
We are undecided as to whether
or not this new change in the
weather is a small size equinoctial
gale or the remnant of the Flor¬
ida storm. Be that as it may, we
are glad to have the rain and the
cool breeze that comes with it.
The rain has washed the dust off
and houses, trees, grass and all
field crops look real clean. But
we need our stick knives to trim
tho mud from our slices if we
tramp around much.
I hope this weather has cooled
off a Macon young lady whojiass-
ed here a few days ago on the
train going North m search of a
cooler place. She said she knew
Macon was the hottest place on
earth, and when I asked why she
thought so, she said: “When I
cry the tears are so hot they scald
the ekiii off my face in streaks as
'they run down.” I wanted to pin
the blue ribbon on that young la¬
dy’s pretty shirt waist, but she
wouldn’t let me.
Mess. W A Lyon and B T Rob¬
erts, who are neighbors and live
not far from Round Oak, have
been taking a series of dove hunts
this season, and Mr. Lyon says
that Mr. Roberts has killed only
two doves up to now and has shot
ninety-nine hundred or nine
thousand times, I am not zaely
sure. I know the nine is right but
am in some doubt as to the num¬
ber of ciphers lie told me to put
to the right of the figure nine.
Ed. Culpepper heard Mr. Lyon
tell his bird tale on Mr. Roberts
and then lie whacked out this one
on Mr. Lyon: Ed. says when Mr.
Lyon goes bird hunting alone he
kills from live to seven at a shot
and when he goes with a crowd he
kills one in twenty shots. I sup¬
pose Mr. Lyon has a different gun
on these hunts and don’t care to
kill all the birds when he goes
with a crowd.
I heartily agree with the Popes
Ferry correspondent in the idea
that •’invention comes before dis¬
covery,” that “instinct goes ahead
of knowledge,” and that “our im¬
aginations sometimes go astray
and our minds fly off at a tan¬
gent. ” The inventive, instinctive
and imaginary tangency of the
mind of the aforesaid correspon¬
dent must have been at high water
mark or rambling around among
the “Grecian philosophers” while
I was telling the mule and girl
story. The mule just jumped from
under the girl, seating her on the
ground, and then I put her on the
mule again. That’s all. I’m not
hunting, nor have I fouud. a “cen¬
tury girl in Monroe,” or else¬
where. Whom the mischief wants
a girl a hundred years old? No
sir-ee, not I. Century girls are
not in it at this day. Methuselah
might havo hunted such in his
Mr. Tom Willburn, who is su¬
the now ginnery at
this place, says Jeff Bovran drove
wagon load cf cotton under
suction at the gin, when Jeff,
wagon and cotton were ull
up into the pipe, and that
yelled and begged so bard and
60 badly frightened that lie
them all hack down the pipe,
he went to Frank White’s gin
have his cotton ginned.

An Appeal to Our People.
MR. j.m.hu.nt urges the farmers
TO SUPPORT THE county fair.
It is less than three weeks un¬
til the gates of the Jones County
Fair will be thrown open to the
public. Are we prepared for it?
Let each one ask himself these
| questions, Are we at work, or
) lave wo been at work?. If not,
let us commence to-day and not
hold up until our exhibits have
been placed on exhibition. Let
our motto be, Onward and Up-
ward, to make this the greatest of
f. ‘ r -
There is no farmer r in the coun-
ty so humble , . . that , ho , can-
not,contribute something from his
farm to add to the success of the
countv fair. Let each tanner put
exhibition some of ... the . best . of c
on
, . , .
allu
Wo have held three successful . .
fairs , . and , made , a creditable exhib¬
it in Macon before the National
Farmers Congress with less than
ten per cent of the farmers to help
us. We want the other ninety per
cent to come to our rescue and
help in this fair. Jones is one of
tho most extensively advertised
counties in the state. Wo have
won for ourselves a reputation
and much will be expected of us.
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO DIS¬
APPOINT THE PUBLIC. Let
mo appeal to you, my brother
farmers, to lay aside all prejudice
and politics and work together as
a band of brothers for the success
of our fair. Success at home
means success at the State Fair.
When we consolidate our exhibits
at the State Fair you will feel
proud of the effort you have made
and will bo glad that you are a
citizen of Jones county.
Wo have no doubts of the suc¬
cess of the ladies’ department.
They are always ready and willing
to lend a helping hand to the up¬
building of their county, the pros¬
perity of their homo and the hap¬
piness of their families. With
their cooperation their duty, and with the
men doing succes is
assured. Men, will you do your
duty? I believe you will.

A Remarkable Record.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
has a remarkable record. It lias
been in use for over thirty years,
during which time many million
bottles have been sold and used.
It has long been the standard an l
main reliance in the treatment of
croup in thousands of homes, yet
during all this time no case has
ever been reported to the manu¬
facturers in which it failed to ef¬
fect a cure. When given ns soon
ns tho child becomes hoarse el¬
even as soon ns llie croupy cough
appears, it will prevent the at-
tuck, It is pleasant to take, many
children like it. It contains
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently
to a baliy as to an
adult. For sale by W E Morgan,

In Loving: Remembrance.
Mr. 11 J Cranford died on the
Olh of September at his home

ty*
Mr. Cranford had well reached
three score and ten years. On last

ed with tho Missionary Baptist

when in his yonth and has since
lived a faithful and consistent
member.
He left in his homo an aged
wife, step-daughter,son, daughter-
in-law and grand-daughter to
mourn the loss of this good man.
How often during my visits to
this happy home of my only
great-uncle have I seen him .on
the back veranda in bis old arm¬
chair, singing and reading bis Bi¬
ble, always ready to lend a help¬
ing band to those around him
Deeding assistance in tho house¬
hold duties. Would that wo sor¬
rowing ones when death comes
could receive the reward wo are
assured awaited his coming: Well
done, thou good and faithful ser¬
vant.
Rev. G. W. Tlinrpe conducted
the funeral services . a Pleasant
IIi 11 church. The church was filled
with sorrowing friends and rela¬
tives to witness the last sad rites
of this nged.and good man,
We offer our heartfelt sympa¬
thy to this bereaved family, and
trust that the all-wise Father who
has guided and landed so many
pilgrims in the homo where sor¬
row, pain nor death will ovor ou¬
ter will guide and protect them
through life. II.
