The Commbus Enquiror
thinks the Newspaper
“An Ann«l Crank at the
Houm," ihonld not mislead any
one.
Editor Jaek Powell says: "A
nine pound boy arrived at our
home lust Sunday evening, and
delinquents will be hunted more
assiduously fora season, and this
ie no joke."
A Kentucky man who was
about to be lynched by a mob at
Oxford, Ohio, was given time to
pray and while so engaged he was
rescued by a sheriff’s posse. This
incident should be very useful in
bringing prayer into-aiore general
use in Kentucky.—
God blest the hens. They are
paying off the mortgages and sav¬
ing homes in Baldwin county.
Many of our people have learned
to appreciate their value and oth¬
ers are awakening to it. M.lledge-
ville has more fine bred poultry
farms than any town in the state,
and they are all earning divi¬
dends.— Milledgeville News.
To Prevent Boll Worm.
State Entomologist Newell was
asked what remedy there was for
boll worm. He replied :
"There is very litt le that can be
done after the worm reaches the
etage where tho boll it attacked.
Poison for tho ootton caterpillar
might do a little good, but not
much. This is a case where the
work has to be preventive.
"We plait a row of corn in
about every twenty-fifth row of
cotton, and also a row of peas.
The moth or fly that lays the
eggs prefers the corn, and would
lay the eggs in the corn silk.
When the worms come they at¬
tack the coru, aud being canni¬
balistic, also attack each other,
und fight it out until but one is
left. The corn is taken away and
fed to tho stook, and that is the
best wav the cottou boll worm is
disposed of.’

Elder David L. Hitchcock who
departed this life October 1, 1908,

years, with the exception of twen¬
ty days during whiclqhe served
Knon church of Putnam county.
Asa pastor ho was blessed with
nil the kind attributes of a shep¬
herd to hia flook. Ho was kind
and considerate and of irreproach¬
able character, lifted up
through the merits aud grace of
Jesus Christ to admonish the.
practice of Godliness nnd the spir¬
it of his Master. //.* proclaimed
the dootnno and pointed out the
way whioh God ordained that His
children should follow. Ho pro¬
claimed the Truth uncompromis¬
ingly ns he understood it. and
atood steadfastly by those things
which lie believed to be right in
th sight of God.
We as a church testify that he
was aU that could be required of

ath all things well, and pray that
if it is His will He will keep us

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.
The stockholders of the Jones

quested to meet iu Clinton on the

purpose of winding up the affaire
of the association. A full dele¬

is of much importance to *v»ry

From Hound Oak.
Ask Major Glawson "whar his
hat," and see what he will say.
Some time ago he onme here to
have some cotton ginned and
drove his wagon load of cotton
under th<s suction pipe and soon
fhe cotton wns carried to the gins.
When the Wagon was cleared of
cotton he'{rushed the pipe up out
of his way, tested himself in the
wag on and drove off, his head
passing directly under the pipe.
Just then his hat hurriedly left
his head, though he made several
frontie grabs at it, but .ailed to
cn t c h. it, and drove on down to
t | )B l8e d spout where he stopped ;
hi, l..m to go beck to hint hi.
hst. IIs searched diligently all
around whore his wagon had been
standing, looked under tho gin
house, up in the air, and in every
other direction, but no hat was to
be found. Some one suggested
that the hat might have gone up
the suction pipe, so up ’ into the
gin houso went the Major, ouly to
find that his lint had gone to the
feed machine by the suction pipe
route, where it had very suddenly
and unorimoniously benn, cmi-
▼erted into a cap by having the
entire brim torn off. This qew
style cap, which was aH that was
left of tho hat, didn’t suit the
Major, so he pranced off up town
and bought himself a new one.
The indispensable Ham IlyL:
land was here n day or two ago
and took quite a fancy to'the sue
tion pipe ns a plaything. He first
stuck his head in the pipo to feel
his hair get up on end and try to
tear itself out by the loots trying
to go up tho spoilt. Then by way
of varying the fun he would hold
his hat in his hand and stick it to
the "spout.” Mr. Indispensable
kept up the racket for some time,
alternating first with his h'nd.
then with his hat. Finally the
hut was jerked out of his hand
and up the spout it wont'. Now
the lookers on had their fun, for
if any ouo ever hurriedly.left the
earth to go up into a gin house,
H im did. He came near running
ovor several persons in his efforts
to catch up with that hat, and
around tho gins he very dexterous¬
ly performed the proverbial
coschy-couchy, mingled with tho
epigrammatic celerity of move¬
ments usually observed in the
sai'ors’ hornpipe; a]l this couple^
With the most wonderful verbal
ejaculations and wild movements
of the arms, waked up all the gin
operatives, and by their united
efforts the aforesaid hat was over¬
taken before the feed machine got,
a good square grab nt it. It
was a close rub and there are sar
marks on the lint now, a sort of
crop and split in the right and
nnderbit in tho left. Ask Ilam
about that hat and see, if lie dees
not tell you he got there Eli aU
the same.
Everybody up here is talking
about tho State Fair and fixing
to attend. I have never known
the people in this section of Judea

A certain bachelor friend of
mine who Lives out a eouple t>£
miles from Round Oak has decid¬
ed to move to town and is having
a nice modern six-room house put
up. He is a great big two hund¬
red pounder, ’tie true, but it looks
like half that, many rooms might-
hold him. I suppose he will rent
out something like three of the
rooms just for the sake of oom-
gnuy.
W. F. White has been on the
sick list fora week but was able
to walk up town yesterday,though
his steps were not as elastic as 1
have seer them.
Capt F. S, Johnson has been
what might be termed "half sick"
for a week or more. He was first
up and then down—on the bed, I
mean-—but up more, perhaps,
than down.

POPES FERRY RIPPLES.
Iii olden times, according to
Greek mythology, there were six
goddesses, The last was Ceres,
goddess of the harvest nod pro¬
tectress of those who engaged in
agriculture. That was long before
Herodotus wrote the first history ;
when the priests wrote on the
leaves of the papyrus plant be-
oause they had nothing else on
which to write, So wo find that
the origin of agriculture is lost in
the darkness that shrouds preliis-
toric tim.es. Tho first account
mentioned in history was when
mei !ishaveu their beads as well as
ui 1 6,1 "ore wigs or
«l»» 1 eva « ten tir. t ei «l». le ptob.blj airs aii< .hm agri
cultural meetings when the God-
dess was present. Now, if Ceres
could have been at tho Jones coun-
ty fair and witnessed he grand ,
display of agricultural products
she would have been convinced
that she had championed the
cause of the greatest occupation
on oarth. I wouldn’t be surprised
if some of those city clerks re¬
solved to quit standing behind
counters bowing their heads off
trying to bo polite and come
out and rent a one-horse farm so
they could live independently. I
imagine l had rather get up be¬
fore day and work until sundown
throe o;r four months than to
stand behind a counter in some
store all the year. But some peo¬
ple are more afraid of Sol than
Vulcan Biul will just stay in the
shade i until their health
is gone rather than bask in
the warm sunshine for oven a lit
tie while. The good book tells 11 s
to make, our bread by the sweat
of the brow. Mosaic laws special¬
ly favor the tillage uf the soil. It
was tho chief pursuit of the He¬
brews. Every seventh year they
left the-lands untilled and what¬
ever grow of itself was givou to
the destitute.
Well, fall is upon us again, and
as Bryant says, "The melancholy
days are come—the saddest of
the year." To me there is alwayB
something sad about the fall of
the yeur; when Nature has divest¬
ed herself of her beautiful sum-,
mor robe, when the leaves have
fallen from the trees, and the
flowers perished, and every breeze
that stirs thrills us with the
breath of autumn. Semehow it
Yolfnhds me of life—the joy and
happinesss of youth that have
passed and gone. And yet, oven
when the frosts of winter come
and the world looks dark and
dreary wo know that before many
months . have passed . the flowers
will bloom again and the birds
sing as sweetly ns of yore.
