i Turkeys Killed.
Seven
A few nights ago Mr. J. I\ Perkins
who resides oil the outskirts of town.
succeeded in capturing a large mink
j which bas been doing great damage in
his poultry house. However, the ani¬
mal managed to kill seven turkeys
that were almost grown. Mr. Ihrkius
put soma poison on one of fowls killed,
and it laid iow his mink-ship.
The Yoke Is Not Easy.
As long as any town is burdened
with narrow, contracted, selfish, one¬
sided, nuggle-de-wuddle inhabitants it
will remain iu the old fogyism ruts
They are dead to progress, dead to en¬
terprise, dead to public spirit and not
possessed of as much life as a mummy
Some towns bear these burdens, bat
the yoke is not easy. These people
generally pray, “Lord;s.iVo me and my
wife, my son John and his wife, us
four and no more.”
Another Gin House Burned.
By an oversight we failed to note>
last week, the terrible loss to Messrs’
J. T. Portwood aud B >b Edwards of
their gin which burned ou the 12th
lust. The entire house, gin and con¬
tents were consumed about 3 o’clock in
the afternoon. There wise about three
bales and a half of cod ju iu the house
besides a great many cotton seed.
This is truly a heavy loss to these
gentlemen aud the sympatfii s of all
are with them.
Plenty of Corn.
Mr. II. D. Murden, of this county,
has made over 500 bushels of corn this
year on ten acres of bottom laud. He
says also that he planted fifty acres in
upland and the drouth cut that off—the
former he says cost him 10 cents per
bushel aud the latter $1.00 per bushel.
However he is solid in corn
for the next twere months. Plenty of
corn in the crib tfipse timfes of low
priced-cotUm is a luxury that is worth
having these days of high-priced corn.
Almost a Blaze.
The steaai gin of Shop Peek’s at the
old brick mill came very near bein„
destroyed by fire last Sunday morningj
Had it not beeu for the timely arriva
of some hoys who were playing near
the mill, it would have no doubt burn¬
ed. When they first discovered the tire
it was making good head way in the
engine room. One of the sills under
the engine was in a light blaze, and it
would have very soon ignited a large
pile of wood near the engine. Had
the fire reached the wood, it, would
have been a difficult matter to extin¬
guish tho flames.
_.lt Tuned Out-Well.
■fgSMBP* ,1 u.ie o i the many
"BroWf^*raers iu this section of Geor
gia, tells us that be sold throe bales of
cotton this season that brought him
$186. It was of the silk variety. It
makes a splendid sample and always
sells for II or 12 cents per pound. He
says that he can make fully as much
silk cotton on one acre as he caa of
the ordinary variety. This is a sug¬
gestion that a small farm well manured
and planted lu this cotton would yield
much more in dollars than many acres
or neglected land planter! in ordinary
cotton. Olie is a good farmer and is
making his farm self-sustaining, which
is the secret of a successful farming.

ternoon at half past four o’clock Mr.

Mrs. E. II. Saggus went down to
Baytown last week to visit her sister
who was very ill.
We are glad to know that Mr. li. T.
Edwards is improving so rapidly, he
will soon be able to attend his business
if he continues to improve.
The cotton crop is about all market¬
ed and it would take another crop like
this to pay the geneal debts of the peo
pie.
Mr. J. W. Farmer was seen in this
section recently and he had with him a

The health of ouv section was never

cial fever.
Mr. J. F. Fortwood lost his gin
house last week which was
consumed by fire. It was supposed to
have eaugb from a match in the cot¬
ton, Mr. J. T. Fort wood lost 4 bales
of cotton while his father Mr. Jesse
l’orlwood lost one. Bob Edwards
was also a loser, as he owned half
enterest in the machinery.
We were in Crawfordville last week
and we believe the town has been
turned over to amativeuuSs. We ex¬
pected to attend preaching but hoard
that there would not be any as the
preacher was going to get married.
So we went to the Alliance store to do
some trading aud found that the
manager had gone off preparatory to
get married and the assistant was
very solumn as they said that ho was
going to marry too. Then we went to
the office to get our mail but the assis¬
tant Postmaster seem indifferent to
wait on us as they said ho was going
to marry. So on we went the Demo¬
crat office to get our paper, but it
wasa’t out as tho Editor had beeu off
all the week.arranging to get married.
Then we sent a note to call ou one of
the fair sex. but she said no, and wo
guess she is going to marry. Infact
we think the town authorites should
quarantine the place against further,
infections from vineulumns matrimonii.

In such cases the blame is laid upon

Marriage means partnership for life.
