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

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

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.

Kind Editor.—As I have not
seen any news from old Ham¬

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¬
