Prof. BerreR, the elocutionist had
a very slim house Tuesday evening,
I'eCause of the threatening weather
and, perhaps, the evergreen memory
of Greenville’s great tragedian, com¬
edian and elocutionist. It would be
unfair to give a criticism of Professor
B-rreli’s performance under the cir¬
cumstances, but we would like to
see him before a full house.

Hundreds of members of the far
mer’s alliance were in town Saturday
to hear Rev. R. H. Jackson, presi¬
dent of the state alliance. The morn¬
ing was consumed in a session of the
county alliance and the public ad -
dress was not delivered until the af¬
I ful. -
ternoon. he court room was
and the speaker met the expectation
of his most ardent admirers. The
alliance has a high and noble duty to
p er f orm an( j r |iinks it is destined
to perform it. We regret our inabil¬
ity to give a full report of the able
speech. Mr. Jackson made friends
for himself and his order by his visit
here.
School Change.
Pi of. J. VV. Dozier, owing to his
health, tendered his resignation last
week to the board of trustees
the West Georgis A. and M. College
and at a meeting last Monday after¬
noon it was accepted, The board
then elected Prof. H. A. Hayes of
Lakeland, Fla, to fill the vacancy.
Prof. Hayes comes very highly rec¬
ommended and we hope will be ac
corded the hearty support which our
best inte tests demand. The school
which numbers about forty pupils
will continue without entermission
if Prof. Hayes arrives this evening as
expected.
Prof. Dozier has been here for three
years and it is a matter of general
regret that he is to leave us. We
can most cordially commend him to
the people of Perry, where he will
reside, as a gentleman worthy of
their highest esteem and confidence.
First Class Clothing.
A striking characteristic of the
clothing trade in this country is the
high grade of ready made clothing to
be had in some of our stores.
There is nothing like it in the old
country and it may be called a strict¬
ly American innovation. Its advan¬
tages are worth considering. A few
days ago we were shown through the
stock of Thomas, the no shoddy
clothier of Columbus. He has suits
that he sells for $30, that would cost
if made to order $50. In buying his
$25 suits you save $15, and so in all
purchases. The make and fit of the
goods he handles are equal to and
even superior to the special order
suits. If you want a special order
suit he can can get it up for you, as
he has a splendid line of samples
and ample facilities, but after look
ing through his stock you will be apt to
conclude that his ready made clothes
are * superior and cheaper.
In hats he handles the Stetson
which is the best hat for the money
on the market.

siring crayon work would do well to
consult her. She has spent much
time in LaGrange in the art depart¬
ment and doubtless is perfect, having
taken several post graduate courses.
Rev. Mr. Jackson preached at this
place Friday night at Bethany Sunday
at 11 a. m. He was to have deliv¬
ered a lecture at the Baptist church
Saturday, but owing to being wearied
from overwork the large crowd .who
gathered to hear him were utterly
disappointed. He declined to lecture.
It is whispered around that Mr.Jack
son's tour was one of political ambi¬
tion.
Speaking of combinations we only
wish we could pen picture our noble
instructors at the Chipley high school
to that extent which they justly de¬
serve. Under their careful guide the
school has come forth from infancy
to a well developed giant. Thanks
are due our teachers for their success.
Everything is calm and smooth on
the school line and progress is being
made, Let all lend assistance to the
school.

Wisdom^ Store Notes.
Mr. Butts’ little son broke his arm
last week, and Mr. Cars. Borders’ lit¬
tle son broke his arm to day. Both
accidents occurred near this place.
The weather seems more like mid¬
summer than spring. We are tempt¬

lighter clothing, but prudence forbids.
This heat forebodes bad weather.

One little 5-year-old miss said she did

We had the pleasure ot hearing the
Rev. R. H. Jackson preach to-day at
Bethany. His sermon was replete
with gospel truths. Indeed it was a
feast to the soul. The text was the
4th v. 17 th chap. John. We would
like him lo come again.
Yes, Robie, we are taught to shun
the appearance of evil, therefore such
pteces of amusement has an evil ten¬
dency, which you will not deny, but
will agree with me. Do any of our
correspondents know that our Saviour
could cook as well as perform mira¬
cles? Yes, Christ prepared breakfast
his disciples, who had been fishing
all night and without success. Let
us read and study the Bible more
prayerfully and follow its precepts
and examples and we shall be able
to train our children in the way they
should go.
We agree with “Farmer’s Wife” in
some things. We do not blame the
merchants with all our draw backs;
we are very much to blame too. When
our parents were young they were
brought up to make their living by
the sweat of their brow. They were not
ashamed to split rails,plough and hoe
—indeed they would do anything
that was honest. Now they will do
anything else rather than work in the
field. Then the wives and daughters
would spin and we«*ve instead making
fancy work. Then fathers and sons
were as proud of their home-made
clothes as the dudes are of their finest
broadcloth. Now some do not even
knit, pretending that its much cheap¬
er to buy socks and stockings. Again
if you bought anything costly it would
last several seasons. Now we are
hardly respected if we do not keep
up with the style; the consequence is
some will go so far as to mortgage
their crops to make a grand appear¬
ance. We are afraid it will be a long
time before the old time sociability
and confidence will be restored among
the farmers. We may be wrong, we
hope so, at any rate. Bess.
