J B Anchors, bo9s of this sec¬
tion on the railroad has been in
Savannah for the past several
days confer!ng with the officials
in the endeavor to get. a raise for
the section foreman of the Cen¬
tral of Georgia Railway.
There are many striking exam¬
ples of the value of good roads.
Wherever roads have been per¬
manently improved it is found
that there has been a very great
increase in value of the adjacent
property.
The Board of Education will
meet at Gray Saturday, June 2.
The Commissioners of the newly
elected members of the hoard
have been received by Ordinary
Bonner and they will take the
oath of office and assume their
duties on that. day.
Mr Monroe Philips 1 of Monti-
eello, chairman of the executive
committee of the Cenrral Associ¬
ation, and ex-president of the
Sunday-school . convention, at¬
tended preaching at Gray last
Sunday'. He gave an interesting
talk to theSnnday-school.
While we beautify our gardens
and premised we should not forget
our relatives and friends who are
at peaceful rest. There are more
little mounds in our cemeteries
j than there are residents in onr
i county and it is fitting that our
Silent Cities should lie bept in
order. None of us are too poor
to plant a lose above the resting
place of a relative or friend.
Dr R R Barron, of Macon un¬
derwent a second operation for
appendicitis last Monday. It
will be cheering news to his many
friends in this county to know
that the operation was success¬
ful and that he is getting on nice-
iy-
All the lumber for the church
has been purchased and work on
the building will commence this
summer. While the material
has been ordered it lacks a groat
deal of being paid for, and funds
are badly needed. Contributions
from those desiring to help in
this cause will be duly aypreeiat-
ed ami t hankfully received.
The county court is somewhat
divided, Thers is no room for an
office set apart for the Judge in
the new court house and he a f
firms that he will not hold court
over here until he is provided j *
one. On the other hand the so-
licitor is using the Solicitor-Gen¬
eral’s office and say's that inas-
mnoh as this is the county site he
will try' no cases in Clinton. And,
there you are.
Possibly no county in our state
with a population not. greater
than is claimed here, can boast of
as many' good horses .‘is are own¬
ed by our local horsemen. Great
as has been the future predict¬
ed for the automobile, man has
manifested no great desire to for-
sake his old friend, the horse,
and today line roadsters are in
greater demand than ever before,
Not only are good roadsters ea¬
gerly sought, but those standaid
bred and of aaknowledged speed
are also coining in for their share
of the honors.
The time her’a Annual Insti¬
tute to 1)6 held at Gray June 11-
15, should he attendedjuot only
by Jill of the teachers, but also
by the citizens of the town, local
trustees of all of the schools and
many of the parents througnont
the county. The occasion ought,
ns it deserves, to receive the help¬
fulness and inspiration of their
presence, Ample accommoda-
tions are now provided in the new
court house and a large attend-
mice is both desired and expected.
Prof D L Earnest, of the State
Normal school, who has been
elected as instructor, is a special¬
ist in this line of work and his
lectures wiil repay all who come
•jo hear him.
We have tried in all possible
ways to show our appreciation of
the liberal patronage given us
since the first day of our coining
to the county. In the columns
of our paper we have fought for
our county to the best of our
ability. We would not be ego¬
tistical, but believe that by using
this paper as a weapon we have
been enabled to render some as¬
sistance to the enterprise and
progress of the entire county. If
the paper has pleased you we are
fully repaid for the labor we have
given it, and we hope to make it
better as the months go by, as we
have decided to give more atten¬
tion and work to the local field,
realizing our readers appreciate
spicy local page. In the
time we are relying upon our cor¬
respondents for the news in
respective localities.
Did you ever notice that “talk”
doesn’t hurt a man much? Per¬
fection isn’t looked for in man.
and when someone tries to injure
a man by' ranting about a few
faults he has, the absent one,
who is probably attending to his
own business affairs, is elevated
in the hearer’s estimation, while
the informant is lowered accord¬
ingly'. If a man knocks along,
doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults, he
has more virtues, and they are
charatable enough to overlook
these faults. But it is different
with a girl or woman. No mt.ter
how good und pure a woman may
Ise, let someone start an infamous
lie about her and every one is
willing to pass it along, and there
is alw ys someone to believe it.
That lie can never he lived down.
It may burn low but gossip-loving
are aeady with new fuel. Did
y° u ever thil,k how extremely
mean 8<),,u; goody-good people are
in this respects.
We heard a y'oung man remark
last week that, “the world owes
me a living.” It is hoped for that
young man,s good that he’ll get
the notion out of his head. He
never entertained a more foolish
idea nor one which will bring him
a smaller measure of respect.
The world owes the young man
nothing; but instead he owes the
world manhood, and society an active, no¬
ble a steady, honest
energy which will enable him to
associate with decent men and
women in a true manliness of
character that will make his
friendship valuable and his desired. pres¬
ence and companionship intelligent
this The truly activity, ' and
young man should contrib¬
ute to society’s happiness and
welfare the grace which comes
thougth study, toil aud honest
thought.
