The schedule cm the A. & F. has been changed. The passen¬ ger arrives here from Atlanta at 8:18, and leaves in the morning at 5 :42. Checks for soldiers pension* have been received at the ordina rie’s office. Those drawing pen¬ sions are notified to call on J. N. MatheWs at his office to secure same. Mr. J. M. Britt, of Macon, a Crawford "county man, is out on a visit to his old friends. Hisfriends are all glad to see him. We were glad to meet him as he is genial and gentlemanly. Ed Newton, who was reported to have been a participan in the killing of Dow Walker, was ar¬ rested and brought here last Sun¬ day. Wednesday he was given a trial and released. There being no proof of his guilt. Nath fSmith the negro now held for murde r , endeavored to implicate Newton, but his evidedee was all contra¬ dictory. Since Newton’s release, Smith, so we are informed, made a full confession of his crime to Sheriff Culverhouse Thursday night. In which he said that him¬ self and Owen Howe did the kill¬ ing and intended to get Dow Walker’s money. It is very probably now that the eyes of the Macon Telegraph which paper has made so many foolish and preposterous conject¬ ures about Smith’s innocence, are open. If newspaper reporters would wait to obtain facts about matters before publication, news¬ paper men Would not have to bear the reputation of public liars. Gill Thom a* Was in Knoxville Thursday night and gave one of his musical entertainments. He played on six different instruments with con¬ siderable dexterity. Annie Laurie was beautifully rendered and we thought sweeter than all else. There is nothing free about Mr. Thomas’ entertainments’if you al¬ low a few of Roberta’s young men to decide. Mr. Thomas gave a little intermission in his exercises during which he offered a silver dip for the most popular lady in the community, and charged ten cents a vote. This took to some young mens pockets like a prairie lire does to a dry straw patch and ■'destroyed them about as iast. Their pockets are very light uo w and smuth too.'

But the boys don’t care, they were ‘‘on it.” Mr. Cook is tall enough and intends to be plainly visible. Hurrah for him. Miss Mattie Miller and Miss Willie Dupriest, two favotite and beautiful brunetts of Roberta, re¬ ceived the prizes. Miss Mattie first and Miss Willie second. The prizes were two handsome silver cups. These young ladies are both possessed of the feminine modesty which adds a charm to even a homely young lady and then too, they have the notive grace and evenness of temper which attracts and holds admir¬ ers.

Editor Correspondent.—You will be surprised to know how few people in your county know what valuable lands and property it has within its border. Its lands far exceed that of any other county in this state as peach pro¬ ducing lands. The lower part of the county, known as the seventh district, has an area of several miles east of Flint River that nev¬ er knows what a failure is in the peach crop. The specially favor¬ ed section of the county is Lee Pope and its surrounding county. Mr. E. S. Lee was offered last Saturday $2500 for thirty five ac res of land wuth 3500 Elberta peach trees just carrying their first crop. He refused by saying he would not take $3000 spot cash. The quanity of peaches now on those trees is just enormous. That little orchard has almost created a peach panic together with the 100 acre orchard of Mr, Lewis Lee of which the A. & F. II. R. com¬ mands such a beautiful view. As the cars pass through this beauti¬ ful block of peach trees the pas¬ sengers rush tc the windows to get a view of it, all wishing the train could stop long enough for them to get out on the platforms and take longer and better views. The engineers all join in saying it is the most beautiful cenery they have ever drove an engine through. When the peaches, ap¬ ples, plums, grapes, pears, straw¬ berries and all other kinds of fruit are ripe the engineers conductors and all the R. R. crew will poke their heads out of the windows and are made mad by the'' exces¬ sive watering of their 1 mouths. A very prominent North Carolina tobacco grower hascomeand gone into the melon business and from the pluck and energy that he is displaying he is going to make a success of meloifc and cantelopes. He is planting extensively. Lee Pope will bloom ere long with bright new houses, a good depot and several large Iruit packing houses. Lumber shipping is going on extensively at Lee Pope under the management of the plucky Mr. W. S. Dasher. Several hundred thousand feet per day are hustled of by him. He is a hummer. Last and not least, I will wager a line horse and buggy that no lit¬ tle town in the south can boast of more intellectual, accomplished, beautiful and fine looking young ladies than can Lee Pope. They will run from four to the thous¬ and. s\mie of the most successful farmers of that section who have laughed and discouraged the fruit business are now gentle and are putting out fruit trees by the thousand. z. t A PROCLAMATION. Georgia: —By W. J. Northen, Governor of said State. Whereas, Official information has been received at this Depart¬ ment that in 1893, in Crawford County, Georgia, a murder was committed upon the bodies of DcSw Walker and Ran Bell, by Smith, Owen Howe alias Owen Howard and Ed Newton, and that the last two named par¬ ties have evaded arrest, and are from justice. I have thought proper, there¬ fore to issue this my Proclamation hereby offering a reward of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars each for the appiehension and delivery of said Owen Howe alias Howar4 and I£d Newton, to the Sheriff of said County and State. And I do moreover charge and require all Officers in this State, Civil and Military, to be vigilant in endeavoring to apprehend the said Owen Howe alias Howard and Ed Newton in order that they may be brought to trial for the offense with which they stand charged.

Th> new school building will be in readiness for occupation in a few days.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Con¬ tain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely de¬ range the whole system when enter¬ ing it through the mucous surface. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions the from reput¬ able physicians, as damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.
