BIG BARBECUE.
The People Decide to
Together on IDtiinnd
Celebrate Laying Cor¬
nerstone with Dig:
Dinner.
When the question of an elec¬
tion for bonds had been disposed
of at the Meeting in Clinton last
Tuesday, the manner in which wo
would celebrate the laying of the
corner stone of the new court
house was taken up, Tho mason¬
ic fraternity was invited tc take
charge of the ceremonies and the
Knights of Pythias to bo present.
The manner of entertainment
was thoroughly discussed and it
was almost unanimously decided
that wo undertake to pull off one
of the biggest burbecueg that was
ever give 1 in the history of tho
county. This will bo the first oc¬
casion of this kind evor soen in
the history of the county—that is
during the present
and many of us will not live
see another, therefore it should be
of interest to every citizen. To
make it a success requires the co¬
operation and help of all. Look¬
ing to this end the chairman, by
authority of the meeting, appoint¬
ed all the county officers, togeth¬
er with five more citizens, who
will l>e known as a central com¬
mittee, and whose duty it will be
to solicit contributions of money
and carcasses, take general con¬
trol of all arrangements, appoint
district committees, keep in touch
with them and make all arrange¬
ments for purchasing necessities,
fixing grounds, tables, etc. In ad¬
dition to county officers this com¬
mittee consists of M. C. Greene,
W. A. Bragg, J. H. Moriug, T. S.
Bush and B. M. Greene.
The central committee has ap¬
pointed the following ns district
committees, whose duty it will be
to canvass their sespective dis¬
tricts for oontaibutious. Where
carcasses cannot be obtained mon¬
ey contributions will he thankful¬
ly acoepted, as there will be many
things to purchase. Teese com¬
mittees will please make reports
to M C Greene, who has been
elected chairman of Central com¬
mittee, as early and as often as
possible, as it is important that
we keep up with progress made.
The time is short and a great deal
depends upon tho work of the dis¬
trict committees, which are aB fol¬
lows :
Barrons—A L Harris, W II
Barron. J F Chiles.
Burdens—Lafayette Bolkcom,
LW Bruudage, Wash Mixon.

These committees arc composed
•f public spirited men, who will
110 doubt perform their duty well,
realizing that a failure on their
part means that the entcrprisi
will be faulty. There is much t<
be done but when divided atnoiq
»o many it will not be so bu.den-
Bome. The oemra! committo«
Blands ready to do theii part am
ere already at work. They hav*
secured the promise of several
carcasses and some money con
trihutions, but do all they cat
tbeir efforts will be unavailing un¬
less they have the help and activi
00-operation of the district cum-
mittees and all of tlio citizenv
There will be man}’ strang.'i* up
rn the grounds and county pride
should prompt us all to put the
best foot forward and show to our
neighbors that old Jones is fust
forging her way to the front. S 11
perior court will be in session that
week, tint Judge Lewis has been
written to asking him to give all
an opportunity to be present and
there is no doubt but that he
adjourn court that day.
It’s up to the citizens of
county as to the success of tlie
occasion. Tho people of Gray will
do their part nobly but alone they
are unable to push it along. Lot
nil go to work and w rite the chair¬
man at intervals as to whnt is be¬
ing done that the central commit¬
tee may act intelligently.
Farmers can Get 1 1 Cunt k
ior Cotton.
Piesidont. Harvie Jordan, of
the Southern Cotton association,
lias returned from Now York and
was found by an Atlanta Journul
reporter in his office Monday, bus¬
ily engaged with a large corres-
poudence from all over the south.
When questioned as to the pur¬
port of his recent visit to New
York and the cotton situation
generally, Mr. Jordan made the
following interesting statement:
“I spent the past week in New
York, attended by Secretary
Cueatham, mainly for two pur-
“The first to ascertain by di¬
rect investigation the strength
and extent of the bull movement
operating at the present time
through the cotton exchango, and
secondly, (or sounding the finan¬
ces relative to recuring all the
money that might be needed to
enable the farmers to hold their
cotton and prevent heavy mar¬
keting which tonds to depress
prices. I found the market in
very strong hands with most of
the largo and small operators not
only determined to maintain the
present levels but advocating and
working for higher prices.
“The Hoadly syndicate, Weld
&"Co., Dick Bros., W. P. Brown,
Daniel J. Sully and others, aro all
earnest, enthusiastic supporters
of the market and hold a splendid
grip onjthe situation. All they
aBk is that the fnrmeis hold back
the staple, check up receipts and
the market can be soon forced to
eleven cents, the minimum price
of tho association, and higher, if
the crop is us short as predicted.
I found, also, that the Southern
Cotton association had won tho
respect and confidence ot the trade
generally and that the farmers of
the south were regarded us im¬
portant fuctors iu the future mar¬
keting of crops. The “bull” op¬
erators now control tho bulk of
the spot cotton in New York and
have tho situation well in hand.
Theodore Price is the most per¬
sistent and nggressivo “bear” in
the market at the present time.
He Hooded tho exchange and the
street last Wednesday, and the
whole country for that matter,
with his circulars oil crop condi¬
tions and estimate of frighten yield, inge¬
niously gotten up to weak
“bulls” into selling.
“Price increased the estimate
of liis correspondents, ridiculed
the reduction of the cotton acre¬
age this yar, referring to it as
“phnntnsmal. ?) lie went square
buck on Ins June estimate and
statement turmshed at that time,
but with the most persistent ef¬
forts of himseli und followers the
market declined only 20 points.
Paper contracts won’t go, and it
the farmers will Btuml pat with
the spots for higher prices the
market will work upward.
“Spinners are now actively in
the market, notwithstanding tin
threuts to the contrary, and have
already taken a quarter of a mil
bon tuiles more of lhe new crop
than they did lor the sutne period
last year.
“Eleven contention is absolute¬
ly m the hands of the farmers
md they have friends enough to
help them put the (trice there, it
they will now bond their efforts
to check up the sales. Debts have
been paid off rapidly and south¬
ern situation. flunks will aid in financing

“Advances can te secured to
the extent of 7 1-2 cents a pound,
and arrangements can be qnick'y
perfected through local bunks in
alt sections where outside capital
is required. The situation is very
encouraging at this time, und 1
look for a most prosperous season
tor farmers and the business in¬
terests generally throughout the
south. I expect to make a can¬

In Memory ol Mr. W.
VVliite.
Round Oak has^boen Replied
mourn the leas of some of its best
and noblest citizens,but no sorrow
has more keenly touched the
hearts or saddeend many
than when the news flushed over
the city of ihe sudden death 01
another noble citiztn to whom
Ibis tribute is paid.
Mr White was horn and reared
««i the community in which
died, his life spent among Ids
peo|»le. His homo Was one of
boundless hospitality, whoso law
i« gimpln kindlier f and Christian
charity; ho remem bored
those around him, was never hap-
pier than when he was making
others happy, was ready always
to aid those in distress, to try
und comfort tho sorrowing.
Through years of suffering ho
struggled on in the path of duty,
his heroic courage and self will
making him forge.tj self, remem¬
bering first his loved ones. He
was possessed with a bright, cheer
ful disposition,"in sonow, trouble
and adversity ; was ready always
to look on the bright side of life.
In early life he married Miss
Lizzie Goodson. Seven children
were hern of the union to bless
their home Tire eldest dying in
early childhood.
Mr White was an indulgent hus¬
band and father, lie ruled his
home with love und kindness, was
ever ready to help in anv way to
add to the pleasure und happiness
of his family. Such a husband
and father will be missed in the
home circle; such a man will not
only bo missed in his mime but
in his church, the school und
community in which he lived,
He leaves a wife and six chil¬
dren to mourn his loss, also two
brothers—Dr. T A White and Mr.
George White—also one sister,
Mrs. Addie Redding, and as many
friends as he had acquaintances—
was loved and respected by all.
It was my pleasure and privi¬
lege to live in his home and have
often visited there, and I feel
as if this is a poor tribute paid to
such a life. Those who have
known him longer well know of
his life, the momory oflwhich will
linger in the hearts of people.
Oh, that I might say u word of
comfort to his sorrow stricken
family. Can only say, look to
Him for comfort in hours of sor¬
row and distress “who doeth uli
things well.”
Thore is 110 death; the stars ’go
down
To rise upon some brighter shore;
And bright iu heaven’s jeweled
crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death ; The.leaves may
full,
Ttio flowers may fade and “ pass
away;
They only .waft through, wintry
hours
The coming of the May.
There is 110 death ; an angel form
Walks o’er the earth with silent
tread;
He bears Jour best loved, things
away
And then we call them “dead. i »
Ho leaves our heart all desolate,
He plucks our fuirest, sweetest
ilowers;
transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
And ever near us, though un¬
seen,
The dear immortal spirit trends;
For all the boundless universe
Is life—there is no dead.
A Friene.
On last Thursday morning the
citizens of Round Oak were great¬
ly shocked when tho news was
passed from one to another that
W F White had dropped dead on
tho streets. It was hard to be-
liive, and still harder to realize,
and it is harder stilt to under-
stand why our Maker should see
fit to take off in tho prune of Ufa
such a useful man. A man with
a large inter, sting family to look
after, morally, mentally and
spiritually, to say nothing of
their bodily comforts. We can-
not understand , the providences .
of our Maker, and at times we
are disposed to question 1 tire ne-
cessity, . though .
we must not do
that, but gracefully i«,.,v yield to the
"levitabl-. Tilt 1 e d r.nulv
