Agent Thompson Will Be Requested To Furnish Information Concern ing the Amount of Business of the Mill, Etc., Etc. The Seaboard railway authori ties have requested their agent at this place, Mr. Thompson, to give them some facts concerning the output of the Cotton Oil Mill at this place, and whether or not they would be justifiable in build ing a track from their main line to the mill to handle the manu factured goods of the mill. If the business will warrant this expenditure, they will put in the track, which will enable them to handle the freight direct from the mill over their line. Agent Thompson says he thinks as the business of the Cot ton Oil Mill Company will be in creased the coming season, that the road would be justified in put ting in the track. The short line will touch the main line just above the Cotton compress, and extend up the west side of the Cotton Oil company’s plant, which will give them all the desired facilities for handling the product of the mill. If the line is built, which is very probable,the work will be done some time during the Fall. The Cordele Oil company here recently sold out their entire plant to the Carolina Chemical Co., with a capitalized stock of $50,000,000, and it is reported that these people will add a guano plant to the present plant, thereby increasing their business. This, it is understood, is among other things that has inaugurated this move on the part of the Seaboard people. ARABI NEWS. D. B. Summerford visited friends and relatives in Unadilla Sunday.

Too much importance cannot be attached to the advice to the people to clean up their premises, rear and front. This is the sea son of the year when disease is bred in every pile of rubbish, when death lurks in emptied slops, and there is a possibility of the hereafter in every atom of filth. Back yards that appear, to the naked eye, harmless and not alto gether unsightly, are often the abode of germs, which, could they be magnified sufficiently, would scare the owners of the premises into premature graves. Could a condition of perfect cleanliness environ us, most of the evils to which flesh is heir would be strangers to our homes. Perfect cleanliness may not be attained in this dirty world, but we may, at least, approach thereto, and there is no excuse for filth. Cut Prices ON FRUIT JARS AND TIN CANS.
