Miss Effie Mitchell, of Columbus,

The Journal had a very pleasant
call Wednesday from two charming
young ladies.
Mr. Oscar West, of Columbus,
was with his Hamilton friends a few
days last week.
Peach buds are beginning to swell.
In this they are behind some other

The thunder and lightning just about

the advent of spring.
It rained very hard here last night

to the Methodist church and the col¬

The stock law went into effect here

cated.
Ben Kimbrough says the ground
under the Pine mountain is so thor¬
oughly saturated with water that a

The editor got left in Columbus
Monday. He trusted a street car
and got to the station just in time to
see the train move off. It will be
seen from a number of new cards in
this issue of the Journal that Colum
bus foots the bill.
The Journal is unusually full of
local notes this week and will be pro¬
nounced a good local paper by any¬
one who will examine it. We would
be glad to have a report every week
from every reporter. Don't wait . to
get a column of items, but write
only twenty lines on a postal.
The beautiful days of last week
have been almost forgotten in the
rainy, misty, murky, muddy, disagree¬
able weather we have hid since
day morning. The heaviest rains fell
Wednesday night and Thursday, but
the slow tiresomely monotonous driz¬
zle is heard as we pen these lines.
If G. P. F. will send us her name
we will be glad to publish the notes
sent. They came too late for
issue, although written in
time. Correspondents should mail
or send their notes Hjust as soon
they ate written and time them so as
to reach us Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hamilton is securing a reputation
for producing human monstrociiies.
A negro woman last week gave birth
to a web-toed and web-fingered
child and another negress gave birth
to one that had a snoot like an ele
phant. The former is alive and do¬
#
ing well, the latter survived only an
hour or two after birth. The cause
of monstrosities, marks and other
congenital deformities has never been
satisfactorily explained by physiolo¬
gists.—Madison Madisonian.
A Few Tons Left.
The demand for the famous Gos
sipium Guano and Acid Phosphate
has been beyond precedent this sea
son. No fertilizers gave better satis
faction last season and the justly
earned reputation of the goods we
handle will be maintained. The
product of our factory, the best in
America, has been larger than ever
before; but not larger than the de¬
mand. I have a lew tons on hand
at Chipley, Hamilton, Cataula and
stations on the Georgia Midland
which can be had of my representa
tives at these places or by addressing
me at Columbus. If you would get
the best value in fertilizers use the
Gossipium Phospho Guano.
