Prof. Marvin Williams of
ry College addressed the people
Gray at the school house
morning. His talk was
ized by that broadness and
ality of thought that always
|\ m panies those from our
V*mal centres. We profited
Prof. William's lecture and
gladly welcome him in our

From Round Oak.
Honry Williams, or
Fox, ns he is often called, one
the ant« helium, ebony ltued
abbreviated pieces of anatomy
been living in Jones county near¬
ly seventy years, and he boost?
that he has been ditching forty-
five years. Henry can be found in
a ditch hard at work from one
year’s and to another. His feet
are so small that he can't find n
ditching boot ho can wear, eo he
wears an ordinary shoe. How he
can stand day after day in mud
and water “half leg deep” when
the weather is freezing cold ib a
little more than /can understand.
He holds his age remarkably well,
is not very gray, *ud says he can
do as much ditching in ft day now
a# he could at any time of his
life.
Did anybody ever notice such a
long, cold, dry spell of weather in
November and this much of De¬
cember? The weather man must
have ordered this weather for sav¬
ing the meat of the big Jones
county bogs that have bean killed
lately,
.Some time when yon are alone
with but little to do, listen to the
ticking of an old clock and note
the different things it gaums to
say. I tried it one night not long
ago but can’t remember how many
things it did say, though the last
thing wass “double thick, double
thick, double thick,” and I never
could make.it say anything eUe,
sol stopped it from ticking that
I might think ot and listen to
something else. Now every time
any one comes into the store and
calls for a piece of double thick
tobacco I can hear that old clock
begin ta tick, although I am no¬
where near it.
Social things are actually so
quiet in these diggins that it is an
easy matter to suppose Christmas
is at least forty years off. I hear
nothing of parties, turky dinners,
egg-nogs, or any thing of that
kind. Even the boys don’t have a
thing to say of big guns, sand
poppers, fire crackers, Roman
candles or skyrockets, If this
quiet is kept up until the 25th I
am bound to make racket enough
to let somebody know Christmas
has come, even if I have to get an
old piece of stove pipe and lannn
it with a 8t ick. I’m almost sorry
I said anything about egg-nog. 1
want some so lad. I always wish
my neck was as long ns a bugle
when I begin to drink the 6tuff,
its so good.
After the adjournmon of the
recent South Georgia conference
Rev. Frank McCullough came to
Round Oak to make a short visit
to, his home folks. He nas been
returned to Tennille, Ga., where
h* has been preaching for a year.
Tuinille is an important station
and it is a compliment for him to
be returned.

Mrs. G. L. Summers.
Mrs. Mamio Summers, wife of
Mr. G. L. Summers, died at the
home of her father, near James
station, Tuesday, December the
1st, 1903, of consumption.
Everything wiitiin the power of
physicians ond loving friends was
done for her but nothing availed
to stay the hand of the grim reap¬
er. It is indeed hard to part with
loved ones for tho last tune on
earth but in our sorrow we should
be cheered by the thought that
she is at rest.
Three years ago she was mar¬
ried to Mr. Summers and moved
to Irwin county where they lived
happily. Later when Mrs. Sum¬
mer’s condition^ became critical
they returned to,Jones county.
Mr. Summers was a member of
Stem church and was a conse¬
crated Christian woman, Bite
leaves a husband, one child and
many friends ond relatives to
mourn iicr death. We would sav
to the bereaved ones, weep not,
for she is at rest, away front tin-
sorrows that beset those who an;
left behind, Let us so live that
we shall meet her in that better
home to which she iias gone.
The interment took place at
Janma station, Thursday, Decem¬
