Joucs county’s chaces for win¬
ning first prize at the State Fair
are good. Visitors from all sec¬
tions of the state say that this
county’s display is the best ou the
Macon fairgrounds.
The ladies of the county have
given much valuahleassistauce to
those in charge of the county’s
exhibit at Macon. Many of them
have spent tho past week in Ma¬
con and have worked diligently
to make the display a success.
One department of the Jones
county exhibit at the State Fair
that, is attracting special atten¬
tion is the display of hay arranged
by Mr. B. F. Mason. It is said to
he the most extensive and origi¬
nal collection of the different va¬
rieties of bay ever seen in the
state.

Hon. John T. Williams, assist¬
ed by several other enthusiastic
and public spirited citizens, have
worked faithfully during the past
week to put the Jones county ex¬
hibit in place at the State Fair
grounds. Whatever our success
may be much of the ere'’twill be
due to the efforts of these gantle-
men.
The Stato Fair opened in Ma¬
cou yesterday morning and those
who weut down say that nothing
like it has ever been seen in Geor¬
gia. Every department is better
than any seen at previous state
fairs. Tho people of the County
should not lose the opportunity of
seeing the best fair ever held in
the state.
Prof. Macou, of Mercer Univer¬
sity, made an address in Clinton
last Monday in which he strongly
advocated the passage of the
McMichael bill introduced at the
ummer session of the state legis-
Jature. This bill proposes to give
each county of the state the right
to levy a special tar for school
purposes, Prof. Macon’s talk was
interesting, instructive, and was
enjoyed by all. Ho is oue of the
most widely known educator* of
the state and has done as much as
any man in Georgia for the bet¬
terment of the common schools.
Rev. John P. Erwin preached
to the people of Gray at the school
horse last Sunday night. Mr.
Erwin’s sermon was one of the
best to which the people of Gray
have had the pleasure of listening.
We express the opinion of all the
people in this community in say¬
ing thot Mr. Erwin’s services are
appreciated, and we are grateful
to him for the occasional sermon
he gives us when his regular ap¬
pointments will permit. He al¬
ways has a message with life in
it, something that is of benefit to
flllwhocareto listen. AH join
m expressing the hope that his
conference will return him to the
CUntou circuit and that we may
hiive the pleasure of hearing him
many more time*.
Jones Superior Court.
Jones Superior court convened
last Monday. Judge Gray
in charging the grand jury depart-
ed somewhat from the usual or-
der on such occasions and deliver¬
ed his charge in a manner at once
40 earnest and forceful that there
*ae ; 119 .doubt left in the minda of
nie his hearers that he expected
the law to be obeyed aud offend-
ers punished. He was especially
•ever# upon these who might bo
engaged in the unlawfpl sale of
liquors, characterizing them as
the most inimical forces to socie-
ty and good goverment known to
modern jurisprudence. He admon¬
ished the grand jury in strong
terms to look diligeutly after the
mau who carries a concealed
pistol and *,ee that the law is en¬
forced. The tax dodger came in
as the subject of some plain re¬
marks from Judge Lowis. In ex¬
plaining the law on this subject
he reminded the members of tho
grand jury that it was not only
their duty to see that the tax
hooks were “neatly and properly
kept” but it was also their duty
to see that there was as equitable
distribution of taxes, reminding
them at the same time that the
tax receiver’s duty ceased when
he had administered the oath re¬
quired by law and accepted the
tax payer’s returns.
Ab a whole the charge of Judge
Lewis was one of the best ever
heard in Jones county.
The docket for this court was
extremely light, there being but
little civil business aud less crim¬
inal.
Court adjourned Wednesday
afternoon.

One of tho most beautiful church
weddings ever witnesaed in Jones

to Miss Mattie Holt of Haddock,
on Thursday evening, October 15.
The ceremony was performed in a
very impressive manner by Rev.
J. P. Irwin of Clinton. Thechurch
was tastily decorated to suit the
color scheme of greon and white.
While the strains of Meudel-
sohu’s beautiful wedding march,
pluyed by Miss Gussie
Finney, filled the church
the bride came in on the arm
of her brother, Mr. Thad Holt, of
Birmingham, beautifully arrayed
in gown of white crepe de chine.
She wore pearls of her grandmoth¬
er 80 years old; her brooch was of
bride’s roses. Mr. Clarence Mo-
son of Birmingham was best man,
and Miss Lillian Holt, sister of
the bride, maid of honor ; Miss
Gladys Huffman of Birmingham,
first bridesmaid, with the follow¬
ing attendants: Dr. Holmes Ma¬
son of Macon with Miss Ruth
Moughon; Mr. Will Rockett of
Birmingham wit : h Miss Arabella
Virgin of Macon; Messrs W. L.
Sherley of Augusta and J. T.
Cook of Haddock ushers. The
bridesmaids were daintily gowned
in white liberty silk and green
ribbons, each carrying a bouquet
of white roses,

ful and attractive daughter of
Mrs. Moughon Holt and is the
granddaughter of the late Thad-
deus G. Holt of Macon. She is
cloBely connected with several of

families of the stato. She num¬
bers her friends by the number of
her acquaintances. The groom is

ONLY A VERY FEW PUB¬
LISHED.
It is not possible for the-pro¬
prietors to publish more than a

rhoea Remedy and telling of its
remarkable cures, They come
from people in every walk in life
and from every state in the
Union. The following from Mr.
T. W. Greathouse, of Praltsburg,

DO GOOD—IT PAYS.
A Chicago man has observed
that, “Good deeds are better than
real estate deeds—some of the lat-
ter are worthless. Act kindly and
gently, show sympathy and lend
a helping hand. You cannot pos-
sibly lose by it.” Most men np-
predate a kind word and encour-
agement more than suoBtavitml
help. -There are persons in tills
community who might truthful-
lystiy: “My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy will rid you
of your cold, and there is no dan¬
ger whatever from pneumonia
when you use that medicine. It
always cures. I know it for it has
helped me out many a time.”

The Reason
Wo sold more vehicles last year
than dealers that have been in the
business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more ex¬
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now is quality. Thry
next consider the price. That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mat¬
ter. Quality aud prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. Wo decide
on the beet wagons aud buggies
and thou buy them so we can
undersoil our competitors.
We get all the discounts off by
payiug spot cash.
We can prove all we eay to be
true. Call and let us do it.
