Holmes & Hardeman,
sore to Gantt & Holmes, cotton
factors, Macon, have an adver-
tisement in this issue to which we
Mr - *■ S -
Hardeman, .1 this firm, was for-
merly of this county, but for the
past several years has been engag-
ed in the cotton business at Ma-
eon.
The school at this place now has
a larger number of pupils than
ever before in its history. The
roll uaw numbers sixty-one pu¬
pils and the indications are that
tho number will be increased,
This large number of students is
an eloquent argument for a better
achool house. The present build-
ing is wholly inadequate and
*hoi Id be sufficiently *nlarged to
acco nmodate those who wish to
u ;tcp 1 the school.
From Round Oak.
Did anybody ever see any
weather hang on to winter with
such bulldog tenacity as we have
witnessed for throe months?
There has been scarcely a day in
three months that would not have
been a fine time for killing hogs,
I have trembled atul shook until
it lina become monotonous (o keep
buttons on my clothes. Still 1 get
as hot as a wool mill while sowing
on buttons. Any fool can hit the
hole in a button with the point of
a needle from tlie button aid*, but
i U8 ^ * e t m« start the needle back,
,f vo " p |,,a9e - n "A / wear the point
-
off trying to find the hole in the
button. That’s when 1 get red hot
and pull my coat off, and even
then it feels like a July day,
Iget. as cold as ever as soon asthe
button is on. While complaining
of this button business, a friend
a id tome: ‘‘Yes, pleg take you,
why don’t you get married and
have some one to sew tlie buttons
for you?” Then I have to tell
what Miss Aim Stripling, a Mon-
roe girl of forty-eight, said win n
Preacher Singleton asked her v.hy
she didn’t marry. Her reply war-:
*'Fo God, can anybody 7 marry by
themselves?”
A certain young lady, who, and
where she lives, I must’lit tell, is
the proud owner of a little black
“fouse.” This fragment of a dog
followed the girl’s father some
ten or twelve miies from home
and failed to return with him.
The next day tiie very much ab¬
breviated dng failed to put in an
appearance. The second day roll¬
ed around and still doggy did not
show up. By this time the young
lady was so worked up on account
of her severe loss that she resort¬
ed to tears and they flowed suf¬
ficiently profusely to form what
might bo termed a small calf tot
branch. Between sobs she man¬
aged to persuade her father to go
in one direction and send a nigger
in another in search of the ali-nii-
portnnt quadruped. She then, re¬
sorted, to the telephone, calling
up every place in her reach. In
the number was Round Oak and
she wanted everybody m town to
come to the ’phene. Her question
was: “‘Boo-hott— h-o-o-h—o-o, -mv
little black fic«,. Shewoe.” Then
came a sort of bleat, followed bv
snuffle, snuffle and and a perfect
deluge of boo-boos.
‘‘Y-s, ttu-io is a small flee up
here, but it is s<> shy we can’t guv
bold of her, ” was answered.
Oh, that s Shewee ; that s my
dog ; catch her anyhow and s uid.
her to nil* by express on the down
tram.”
A little Inter themgrn who was
sent in search of the dug came up-
on the scene, and as soon as ‘*Sln’-
we®”saw him she ran to him and
cut all sorts of capers, indicating
her recognition of her friend. The
negro’s orders were s*> peremptory
that he couldn’t wait for the
train but put out footback for the
homo of Shewee. As to the tears
of the young lady in question, 1
suppose they are like some of the
wells up here—gone dry.
The railroad autherities arn
having the water tank at this
place tightened up to make it hold
water. For wlmt, I wonder. It
has had scarcely any water in it
for three or four months and it is
covered over too nicely for rain
water to get in it. I guess the
railroad folks think, the tank can
hold air if not water. Some of the
engineers on this road have made
the air outside of the tank vibrate
like a fiddle string with cuss
words because there was air in¬
stead of water in the tank.

In Mem or in m.
Mr. Ben T. Smith was born Oc¬
tober 15tii, 18(52, and died at bis
home January 14th, 1904, after a
brief illness of pneumonia, though
lieartrailure was tho enuse of his
sudden death. All that love and
skill could do was done but the
all-wise Father know best und bis
summons Came.
Mr. Smith was loved by all who
knew him, and indeed it was a
shock to all who knew him w hen
his death was announced. He
laid to rest in the cemetery near
the home of Mr. Lee Smith, Rev,
J. P. Ei win conducting the funer-
a! services.
Mr. Smith had led a bntehelor
life since tlie death of his mother
and brother eight years ago. He
said during the day on which ho
died tliut his mother and brother
were gone and now he was going
too. He seemed to realize his con-
dition in the last hours and we
trust he is now safe in tlie arms of
Jesus.
He Daves one sister, Mrs. Ed¬
ward Green, of Hancock county,
mid a host of friends und rul-
i i'i mourn his death.

the death of Mrs. Hannah Harris,
which oceimed January 2<Rli at
the home of her son, Mr. A. L
Harris, at. Bradley, Ua. The r„.
mains weru laid to rest beside her
mother in the family burying
ground at Bradley.
Mrs. Harris was (ft) years old.
leaves four sons and two j j
daughters to mourn her loss. She
was not afraid of death and often ,
said she was ready when the sum-
niuas should come. Her afflictions
were born with Christian fortitude j
and resignation. j
Her many kind deeds be clierislud and good- j
ness of heart will al-
ways by her many friends. I nev-
or heard her speak and unkind
word of anyone.
She lias only been transplanted
to where there is no more snff.-r-
ing or rlying, hiitjeternnl life and
happiness. We can only think of
her as in the blessed company of
those gone before, loving and
loved, happy and at rest.

Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medioal sci¬
ence is toward preventive meas¬
ures. The best thought of the
world is being given to the sub¬
ject. It is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumo¬
nia, one of tho most dangerous
diseases that- medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented
by tho use of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al¬
ways results from a cold or from
an attack of influenza (grip), and
it has been observed tbat this rem¬
edy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This lias been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and
grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confi¬
dence. Pneumonia often results
front a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is sudden¬
ly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, I ben it is an¬
nounced that Hie patient bus
pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy as soon us- the cold iseun
traded.
Tnis remedy is fur sale by W.

Jones-Lewis.
Quite a number of friends and
relatives gathered Sunday after¬
noon at tho home of Mrs. Mattie
Jones to witness the marriage of
her daughter, Miss Josie, to Mr.
Edward R. Lewis, of 31 aeon.
The room was beautifully deco¬
rated with smilax, mistletoe and
ferns and was lighted by candles.
Rev. John P. Envin performed
tlie ceremony.
Miss Josts is a lovable character
and numbers her friends by her
acquaintances. All Robertsville
is grieved at losing her. Mr. Lew¬
is a man of sterling business qual¬
ities and is in every way worthy
of the bride he has won.
They will make Macon their
h<*me.
We extend to them best wishes
for a long and happy life. M.
To the Voters of Jones
County.
I will hereby notify you through
the paper that I will be in the
for the office which I now
bold. I wish to say that lam
more thankful than ever 1 will lie
able to express for your past sup- j
port. The oliioe has been n great j I
h<-lp to me through my losses and
“Auctions. But if there bo my i
one in ns needy ei-oumstnnees as ;
myself and who wants tno ofthej
and is not willing for me to have
h another term and will come out
f ,>r Hie office l will get out of the
race and give him my support.
As for the old brother s.ddicrs
who are opposing me, l will say
that I have as much respect for
them ns anyone. But according
t° the tax books they are all in
good circumstances and are not
in need of the office. Two of them
have small families and get pen¬
sions, and tlm other one hns a tine
lot of boys. While it is true they
passed through four years of hard
struggle they were yet blessed to
return home to their families and
build up in this world’s goods and
educate their children. My father
was left near Griffin thirty-nine
years ago and I had to begin to
work for a.support for the dead
soldier’s widow and orphan chil¬
dren at ten cents a duv, while
those who returned to their fami-
lies were sending their children to
school. 1 did not h ive the chance
to go to school, yet some one had
that to tell in my other race, and
I don’t thick it di 1 him any good,
either, especially the one who said
I could net sifii my name.
So, fellow citizens, I will leave
it with you. I am not a hog and
do not want tho office a lifetime.
Yours to serve,
