A party composed of J jf Mor- ing, R O Blanks, B M and C L Green, C B Bowen apcl others, will leave next Monday on a fish¬ ing trip down the southern rail¬ road. The new courn liouse was used for preaching last Sunday and though the weather was threaten¬ ing a good congregation E Pounds, greeted who the pastor, Rev J delivered an excellent sermon. Mrs Pauline Stewart Duggan and her little son, Rnvid, have spent this month with her par¬ ents, Mr and Mrs John S Stewart, of Wayside. She will leave next week for Anniston, Ala.

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.
