We are prepared to make loans on

rates. Mathews & Blasingame.
Why is it that Crawford can’t
have a county court? At present
nearly alH.he room in the jail is
filled with prisoners and most of
them are confined there on petty
offenses. Such cases could be
^
disposed of readily by a county
which would be not only a
saving of many to the county,but
would bring money into thecoun
ty treasury. Sometimes we hear
the ridiculous statement that of¬
ficers might just go along|and not
put so many iu the jail. A man
who makes such statements is to
be pitied and he ought to be con
fined in the Asylum. Officers
ought to dp their duty Ju thisjpar
ticular as well as in all other
matters that come before them
as public servants. There is not
k’ single reason why a county
court should not be established.
Yes it should be done and should
be done at the next session of our
legislature.
The recent very heavy and.'pro
tracted rains have*been damaging
to the crops.
These fellows that are always
looking after other people’s af¬
fairs would be more profitably
employed were they engaged in
making honestly their |meat and
broad.
Rev. J. ^O. A. Cook, of Furt
Valley, has assisted the pastor
some this week with the meeting
at the Methodist church fn Knox
ville.
Wouldn’t it be a good plan to
build |a first class bridge over
Flint river at the old Agency? It
seems that it would do much tc
ward t improving*6ur cotton mark¬
et and trade in general.
Messrs. J. M. Richardson, R. P.
Smith and F. H. Wright went to
Atlanta on business the first of
this week.
There is plenty of money to
move all the cotton. Will the
cotton all fci needed?
James C. Bond was Macon
this week.
The fellow that pocketed sixty
thousand dollars of money from
one county treasury in Nebraska
knew where to go to find a good
conuty.
SATURDAY, AUGUST,19 1893.
If is generally thought tnat the
corn crops on the river have been
seriously damaged by recentjover
flows, This of course is Junavoid
able, but is/Jat the same time,
very hurtful tov parties directly
interested, - , .
John Stroud had a few seed
peas sent him from the agricult
uraljdepartment He says the’peas
grow from them are a great favor¬
ite among the rabbits of his com
munity.
The darkeys had a little He
cream breakfast over at their
church the first morning of this
week. They set in .for a supper
bn the evening' before, but one
little delay after another carried
it over and it resulted in a cool
breakfast. It was undertaken to
raise a small fund for some pur¬
pose, but wound up in being over¬
taken by more expenses than
profit. Moral: gtart sooner next
time. -
John Stroud has found some
one that believes Crawford coun¬
ty produces annually about Hen
thousand bushels of corn. John
told him he ought to know better
and it really appears that way to
the writer. In 1891 Georgia had
planted m corn 3,100,7-15 acres
which produced 37,889,006. Put
ours down as an average
co»nty the yield ■ for. that year
would, have beeh-in round num¬
bers 276,000 bushels. That fel¬
low’s idea about the corn is some¬
what, like that of a ' person who
went iron, this county to a city in
a neighboring county. He conciud
edit the worid were as large as
the other side of the-city as be
tween his home and the city, it
must certainly be an elephant.
Rev. Dr. Green of Fort Valley
preached an excellent sermon in
Knoxville Sunday. A large au
dienee was present and listened
to it attentively. Many members
of the congregation were his old
associates.

Why not put one dollars worth

more.
All the stock that The Corre¬

no practical man in this new age
fails see it in just that light.
