ration last Alonday. No criminal

The public road from Gray to

From the number of rocks in the

The Clinton baseball team is

There was another wreck on the

near Round Oak last Tuesday
night. The engine and six freight

From conversations with Air W
A Lyons, who conducts a large
fruit farm near Round Oak, and
Dr Barfield, who owns many
thousand peach trees at Gray and
Bradley, we are informed that
oold and frost last Friday
ing did not damage the fruit to
any extent. Neitherwere vegeata-
bles materially injured.
It is said that county politics
will have headquarters at Round
Oak from now until election—tliat
is if getting the start is to count
for anything. A Round Oak citi¬
zen is responsible for the state¬
ment that two of her citizens are
already out, one for county treas¬
urer and another for representa¬
tive. This appears to be rather
early, but Josh Billings says the
time to set a hen is when she is
ready, and perhaps these citizens
arc of the opinion that the time
is ripe to pushjtheir claims.
There will be a convention of
the lodges of Knights of Pythias
composing tfie fourth district, in
Macon, on Monday, April 24th,
at 2 p. m. J T Carling is Depu¬
ty District Grand Chnncelor for
this district and is very anxious
that a full delegation from eacli
lodge be on hand. Jones County
lodge is among them and no doubt
but that a large number of
Knights will nvail themselves of
this opportunity of gathering in¬
formation and getting better post¬
ed as to the unwritten work of
their order. Work in the third
degree will be conferred at night
in amplified form.
Notwithstanding the fact that
three grand juries have recom¬
mended that the commissioners
purchase and establish a poor
furm, and which reccommenda-
tions have been turned down, the
grand jury next week should
|not be discouraged but
make the fourth one with the
same demand. The people are
beginning to see that the pauper
list is on the increase year by
year, and (here are no indications
.
of a decrease of an annua' outlay
of $1200 or $1400 for the care of
our poor. A poor house farm is the
only remedy to lift the burden
and at the same time care for
those’who are unable to care for
themselves.
Air Joe Slocumb, who lives a
short distance below James Sta¬
tion, lost his burn and stables,
between five and six
hundred bushels of corn, Inst
night by fire. There was
stable oy either sideef the crib
one mule in each stable. Mr
was awakened in time to
one of the mules, the other
in the flames. The or¬
of the fire is unknown., blit
the building was very close to
public road the supposition is
some one passing by care¬
tossed a lighted match
the shucks and fodder
which ignited and destroyed the
building. Mr.Slocumb is
honest, hardworking man, and
the sympathy and help
his countymen.
Mr W A Lyon is of the opinion
that when alI crops are planted
he will be in a position to call on
Bob Blanks to fulfill his proposi¬
tion. made in last week’s News,
to the effect that if any farmer
planted less cotton to the plow
than he, lie would set ’em up. Mr
Lyon states that he lias cut his
cotton crop from 170 acres last
year to 8 acres this year. Hu will
run eight plows—making one acre
in cotton to the plow. He has a
a small patch of seventy-five
acres in cantaloupes. From this
view point it looks as if the treats
are on Bob, but if they fall upon
Mr Lyons he is ready when the
proofs are made. At any rate
both of these gentlemen will be
better off next year by this re¬
duction of cotton acreage and de¬
voting the land to other crops.
