We are prepared to make loans on improved real-estate at reasonable 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. • HOW’HTHIS! We offer One Hundred Dollars re¬ ward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Why not put one dollars worth of paper in a one dollar paper Dill? Is there one hundred cents worth, intrinsically of nickel in twenty five cents worth ofj nickel pieces? Intrinsically is iron worth almost as much as some metal? You talk much about and about which you might know more. All the stock that The Corre¬ spondent has in the Calhoun Graves farfetched theory of colo¬ nizing the negro is offered cheap. It has no such stock, never had any and no Did is tendered for any. The whole of it is folly and no practical man in this new age fails see it in just that light. A party of eight left here this ■ morning for a visit to relatives in Texas.
