Some criticize Sheriff Culver¬ house on account of a mistake made in not making entries upon all the fifas issued in sheiffs sales. The mistake does no more than necessitates readvertising and sale of lots. This is comparative¬ ly a very ’nsignificant one. The sheriff acted in good faith to the interest of Roberta and the com¬ munity in selling the lots singly as he did, and we indorse him in¬ stead of criticising him. Mr. E. W. Cook is in Reynolds. Mrs. McGee and son, Lee, have gone to Macon. Mr. Lucus. of Taylor was in Roberta Thursdcuy. Mrs. Carnes visited the Gate City this week on business. Mr. Aaron Clark is erecting a dwelling next to Dr. Kinney’s Mr. T. J. Cochran, of Roblev, was in Roberta Thursday. Capt. W. H. Dent went to Ma¬ con this week on important busi ness. Mr. Oliver, of Reynolds, is in Mr. Cook’s place in W. 1. Pow¬ for a few days. Come to the picnic and bring your basket. Mr. M. B. Walker is the only man who bid off lots at sheriff's sales and has paid for them. Says he thinks titles are as good as any titles he has. All lawyers to the contrary notwithstanding. The probability is, that before another issue of this paper, the murderer, Nath Smith, will be hung. The new school house will be the prettiest buildtng in Crawf¬ ord county. In fact, it is better than anything on the A. & F. R. R. The outside carpentary is nearly finished. It adds much to the grace of Roberta and when the bell is placed, you will hear it from one end of Crawford county to the other. Sheriff J. C, Culverhouse has been to Macon on business this week, lie brought back with him a gallows lever and is in trim to do the neck-tie hct. The scaffold has been placed. Editing a newspaper is a pleas¬ ant business—if you can stand it. It is criticized mostly by those who are too doggedly stingy to spare it a dollar a year subscip tion. J^enwilJ preach and teach, ROBERTA, GA:, SATURDAY, APRIL, 22, 1893. and hold political positions, and runs stores and tarm, and practice law and act as insurance agents, and such like. Those things work very harmoniously. But O, the incongruity of a man who runs a newspaper and has anything to do with something else. If we attend church regularly, they say we go for effect. If we remain away from church they say we are too heathenish to pose as the representatives of civiliza¬ tion. We are prepared to make loans on Improved real-estate at reasonable rates. Mathews & Blasingame. Dr. Kinney received a note [one day this week from Mr. George Bray, the gentleman who has been adjudged insane. It read thus: Dr. Kinney—In accordance with request you might come down to night. Don’t forget to bring three or four quarts of “Peach.” If one who is not intimately ac¬ quainted with Dr. Kinney were to accidentally pick up this note some where and read it, lie would conclude that Mr. Bray and Doc were accustomed to getting on “breezes” together. Parties who purchased lots at last months sheriff’s sales are re¬ fusing to pay for same. Claiming that the titles are not clear. It is expected that an effort will be made by those who had an inter estin the lots as court cost, to have the sheriff collect the moil ey. This will bring about some lively times and interesting de¬ velopments are looked for. Of course a man will fight before he will pay for a thing that could be taken away from him as soon as paid for. We would. Ho, For the Picnic! At Roberta Park, May 3rd. Come one, come all. Old and young. Male, and females espec¬ ially. Blooming maidens and dashing youths, an lei us have a big jollification. A day 'of pure unadulterated happiness. No politics in this, and hope vou wont find any other sort of ticks, or red bugs or jiggers. Lay aside your household affairs and bring along a basket of anything you want to put with others and make a great and good dinner. If you don’t know where the park is, ask and any body can tell you. It is between Roberta and Hammock ville and at the entrance of the Bullocks. There will be committees ap¬ pointed to arrange things so as to render the day one of comfort and pleasure. Everybody from all quarters of the globe, invited to come and join in the festivities of the day. More about it in next issue. Warrior Nows. Mr George Tidwell has a very sick child. The sheriff of Biob county, Mr, Wescott, says that he is going to Crawford Co., on the 28th to see if Sheriff Culverhouse can hang that negro. Mr. Guss Tidwell and wife, of Macon, spent Sunday in the War¬ rior. Miss Eva Breese, of Lizella, is visiting friends and relatives in Florida. * Mrs. Curbo died last Sunday night. The burial service^ were conducted last Monday. Mrs. Wilder, who has been sick for some time, died last Tuesday night. No more on earth can her loved ones greet her return nor her many friends welcome her to their embrace, but her words and deeds will still live in the minds of the family. Our heartfelt sym¬ pathy is extended to the berieved family. Ira. Hammock Dots. Kind Editor.—As I have not seen any news from old Ham¬ mocks in a long tii&e, I conclud¬ ed to send in a few dots. We are needing rain very bad on the oat crop and the cotton seed that have recently been put in the ground. The farmers have been {[blessed with a good stand of corn and are looking forivard for a good stand of cotton . Messrs Wade Mathews Charlie Graddiek and others went down on the River last week on a fish frv. but it happened that they fried a piece of bacon. Elder W. O. Cleveland filledjhis regular appointment at Mt. Car Riel last Sunday. Chas. Felts was seen driving a very pretty little pony, last Suu day. Look out girls, that is a sure sign that he means business. Mr. A. A Mathews continues to drive beef cattle to market. If they are hard to] drive, he gen¬ erally hitches them all to a wagon and drives them. It is likely that we will have a large fruit crop this year., B. Free Trip to Chicago.
