We are sadly in need of a hotel.

That hotel must and will be built.

Mre Annie Roberts came out
from Mueon last Monday and de

short visit. Wo were hoping tha
Gray had sufficiently grown t
cause her to ntorn and again

Ilenry Morgan was down from
Monticello last Sunday. He had
hoard of the rapid strides old
Jones had made since his depart _
are and came to investigate for
himself. He expressed surprise at
some things and gratification for
tho improvements around his old
home.

Dr Br'ittai», of Eatm.ton, has
expressed a willingness to be with
ns on the night of the 1st Sunday
in October and remain for several
days, preaching at such appoint-
ments as may be made. He has
been invited to come at that time
and will, in all probability,* be
with us. We can announce more
definitely poxt wi ok.
We are in receipt of a letter
from Bro Geo W Andrews, state j
Svmdays-ehool evangelist, who I
was booked to bo with us next j
Saturday and Sunday, stating j
that circumstances, over which he
lias no control, will prevent him
from filling hi b appointment. |
This is indeed disappointing b r .
many looked forward to his con.-j
ing with satisfaction. V/a hope;
to yet have him with us at some
later day.
So marked are the improvements
in these pnrtfc that even the horses I
and mules become bewildered «t
their surroundings and refuse to
“Stand tied”. Ahorse driven by
Emory Nowell became.unmnnnge- j
able last Monday and broke for
quieter scenes with the buggy at¬
tached to him. When caught he
had demolished the harness and I
buggy and was quietly surveying
the damage he had done. On tl.e J
same day a native mule, belong¬
ing to Green Solomon, hitched to
a one horse wagon, concluded he
was in n city where the gieen
grass refused to grow and noise
and confusion disturb the trun-
quility of even a smooth temper¬
ed mule, decided to scamper to
some less active place. The wag¬
on followed him, and so excited
was his mulesliip that he nuinten-
tionally ran into ye editor’s fence
and thereby threatened to deplete
our already scanty purse. With
little other damage he was final y
persuaded that he was at home
and blue coats were’ powerless to
barm him.
After a good deal of delay
by the non-arrival of tho
vault doors, tho bank of Gray
opened for business last. Tuesday,
lh ; first deposit was made by Mr
Sam Barron in behalf of the Wo¬
man’s Memorial fund, ho being
chairman of a committee for this
county, whose duty it is to raise
an amount to be used in erecting
a monument to the .memory of the
women of the Confederacy. Tho
second deposit was by Master
Stewart Bush, a lad who has had
a bank account since he first be¬
gan to walk. Mr Walker, the
President, was over in person, and
be'ore he left the bank was in full
operation, Mr W A Winn, but
recently with the American Na-
tional Bank, of Maco.), is j
charge as cashier for the present. .

v, ftn ]< 0 f Gray offers the best fa- !
c i]ities to the people of the cou lty j
and loyalty to home should I
prompt every man to patronize] |
it. The bank is supplied with the j
latest improved burglar and fiie ;
proof safe, which is enclosed in a
vault nearly two feet thick with j 1
two burglar proof doors, wlii h
renders ail deposits absolutely ,' j
safe. The two Jones T county , banks

Winn, t JZ e cashier, is a clever, po-

a real pleasure to do business with
him as a permanent resident.
