A charter under the general law
has been granted to Gen. Alexander,
T. M. Cunningham, and others, to
build a railroad from Savannah, or
some point on the Central road near
Savannah, to Fort Valley via Perry,
thus forming an airline from Savan¬

IN MEMORIAM.
Friday morning, Dec. 2nd, a deep
shadow was cast over the entire com¬
munity by the sad intelligence that
our friend and neighbor, Mr. Jim
Henry Moore had been instantly
killed by a blow inflicted from the
falling of timber at a cotton screw,
while engaged in packing cotton.
Several friends of Mr. Moore were
present, as it were, to witness the sad
accident which ended his brief life.
We feel that in the death of this young
man we have lost a worthy friend.
The high esteem in which he was
held could have best been known by
viewing the large concourse of weep¬
ing ones who followed his mortal re¬
mains to their last quiet resting place
in the family burying ground one
mile from Blue Spring. Mr. Moore
has spent the larger portion of his
life near Blue Spring, and has often
been heard to express his devotion to
his home at that place, and what a
consolation it should oe those who
loved him to know that God, in his
allwise providence, saw proper to
lead him back to a spot so much
loved to breathe his last. Mr. Moore
had morals which should have proved
a worthy example for his fellowmen.
He united with Smyrna church about
eighteen months ago at the age of 27
years, and since that time has lived
an honorable, upright life. It was
heard from many lips on the day of
his death “he was always so kind and
will be missed so much.” Rev. J.H.
Callahan, who was with him at the
time of his conversion, when ’twas
said the love of God shone on his
face as the Star of Bethlehem, was
the officiating minister on Saturday
at 2 o’clock when his beautiful cas¬
ket was lowered into its narrow bed.
May God, who has ever been our
support under all afflictions, help
those who nourn the loss of a loved
one to prepare to meet him, whom
we believe is now at rest—in heaven.
A Friend.
HARGETT HAPPENINGS.
Rain! Rain! slush and slosh,
Muddy roads and badly washed.
The hunters’ horn and the hooting
owl now break the stillness of mid¬
night air in this community.
The matrimonial wave still hovers
over this section, and ere many weeks
elapse Cupid will scofe a number of
triumphs.
After several weeks absence our
clever little postmistress is again
beaming and smiling at her post, at
the delight of her many friends.
The “Farmers’ Alliance” organized
a club at Antioch church a few days
since. I say let the good work go
on, if they think they can accomplish
anything.
The farmers have been through
gathering their crops sometime and
are now busy sowing small grain,hog¬
killing and getting up a supply of
wood and lightwood for the holidays.
Soothing syrup, paregoric and cat¬
nip tea are in great demand at the
residence of Mr. V. E.; for the stran¬
ger that came is a “cute” little boy,
and I think they have named him
Peter Lee Roy.
Squirrels, partridges, wild geese
and turkies are plentiful in this sec¬
tion, and the sportsmen are having
a nice, fine, large and commodious
time, Boys, come one, come all and
lets join in the fun.
On the evening of the 24th, inst.,
at the residence of Judge L. C. Har¬
gett, Dr. D. M. Wheelis and Miss
Sallie Cook were united with the
silken tie, the Judge officiating. May
their lives be blended with prosperity
and happiness.
The little folks are happy for this
reason,
Next week will be the merry
Christmas season
When old Santa Claus will bring
goodies and toys
Which will long be remembered
by the girls and bo\s.
I hope the old folks will be happy
and cheerful, too,
Because they have nothing else
to do.
Why not cast all troubles, sorrows
and cares away
And be free and happy for a week
or a day.
