Ben Jefferson, one of our wor¬
thy colored citizens, who lives on
Mr Alex Balkcom’s place, near
was so ' unfortunate as to
lose his barn and crib, two males,
over two bales of coLton and the
seed out of live bales by fire last

covered obout 9 o’clock and he is
of the opinion that it was of in¬
cendiary origin ns there had been
no tiro in the vicinity of the
building during the day. He
is a hard working and deserving
colored citizen and will no doubt
receive substantial aid in his mis-
foitune.

Common Schools in Jones
County.
The county school commission¬
er and B >ard of Education of
Jones county have and are render¬
ing valuable service m bringing
the schools throughout the coun¬
ty to a higher standard. There is
not a more competent and cnj.e- | I
ful commissioner in the State
thnn Mr Sammons. On account
of the inadequacy of the funds j
the schools cannot be run as ma-
iiy months nstliny should, This
of. affairs is regretted by
.Sammons and eve-
rv member of tho board.
The parents owe it to their
children to give th u m every op¬
portunity to get an education. 1 K
thoy neglect to do this they are
doing them a'great injustice, and
injury, which will handicap them
through life.
Under the M cMichael bill,
which was recently passed, each
rural district can call an election
to vole an extra tax for school
purposes. If the people would do
this it would be possible for them
to extend the school term several
months longer and this would
give their children better oppoi-
tnuity to get an education, and
to prepare for the great battle of
life. The people owe this much
to their children. The extra tax¬
ation will lie verv littie more than
ihe amount they now pay. Their
children will receive the benefit.
Can money be more wisely ex¬
pended than towards educating
the children of the enmity.
Hancock county held an elec¬
tion last Friday and voted for the
extra taxation, and putnam coun¬
ty will hold an election at an ear-
ly date. Will not Jones county
follow these two progressive conn-
ties in a slop to give its children
a better opportunity to secure an
education.
Circulate your petition, present
it to the Ordinary, and let him
call an election. You will nfiver
re gret it.

inanity.
The most brilliant social func¬
tion of the week was the singing
given by Mrs Geo McGhee Sunday

and enjoyed by the Juliette social

few homes are turned into bolls,
