Last Saturday was a big day
for Roberta. Hundreds of bales
of cotton were sold and the town
was on a general boom.
The highest colored thing of the

on hand.
Our colored friends boast of
good behavior on the part of the
immense crowd that attended
Camp meeting. This p^per is
proud for them.
One kind of stale stuff is sent
in to us every week. Some fel¬
low that scarcely knows how to

tions about the plans we ought to
adopt in conducting ike paper.
Such people take pains to be
kind.
A host of pretty little girls

Death of a Good Man.
Mr. Jno, A. Miller died on the
night sf the 4t,h inst. at 9 o’clock
P. M. He was emphatically a
good and true man. He was, and
thanks for the alleviation, a suf-,
ferer but a short time. For, the
departed there is swe6t rest.
This kind is a heritage of our de¬
parted friend. His remains are
interred at Elim Church, this
county. Never did this earth, in
allot' its space, furnish a grave
for a better man. Wo will write
full particulars next week.
Mrs* Leila Mabbett who has
been visiting Miss Belle Gibsou
of our town left for her pleasant
home in Anniston, Ala. on Mon¬
day last. The many friends that
she added to her already long list
while here regretted very much
to have to witness her departure.
She was accomplished and enter¬
taining and aided much in bur
young people’s entertainments,
musical and other kinds, while
in Roberta. We trust her life in
the future will De in pleasantness,
commensurate with the opinion
our good people formed of her.
The prettiest line of Dry Goods
ever offered in Roberta. At the
New York Store.
Bond & Blasingame make a
new offer this week. They offer
the best bagging and ties suffici¬
ent for packing a bale of cotton

The excursion to Atlanta Fri¬
day was a notable one. It went
off in the right way; toward At¬
lanta, U came back in the right
way (though in an opposite di¬
rection) toward Roberta.— the
biggest, places that Conductor
Woodall calls out on his daily
trips. It was on the tiptop notch
of the excellence. Nothing too
good could be said in this connec¬
tion for its management—either
as to J. J. Williams and Will
Woodall. We add that the hu¬
man freight qompositioa come m
as praiseworthy to a letter.

C. Culverhouse as sheriff but this
kind of thing is among the im¬
possibilities. A few nights since
one of his prisoners made an at¬
tempt to break jail but he made
an “axetual” failure. John was
on hand and added his veto and
put him in an inaccessible cell.
Noah Colbert was the bird. He
lied to a little girl on the outside
and told ner fo bring him an ax
to cut some wood to be used in
making a fire. She innocently
brought it. Noah made the ef¬
fort. The flood was not delayed
one hundred* and twenty years
nor one single night. Our effi¬
cient sheriff discovered the pro¬
ceeding and promptly broke it
into a removal of the axeuser to
a safer place. Noah is yet in jail.
The Roberta Correspondent is a
mighty lively sheet and whoops up
an exceedingly frisky town.—Atlan¬
ta Journal.
Ittakes lively people to make
a live town and we express
thanks. This little town may
not like to be termed frisky as
our worthy Mayor objects, yet
the Correspondent writes Atlan¬
ta down as the largest thing it
has ever passed around or through
and it is now on a swell.
Culloden should stand by the Cul

Lewis Ranch.
Mr. Editor:
Our farmers should adopt a
wiser plan than raising all cot¬
ton. '
(They are doing that very
thing. Ed.)
Col. G. D. Dominick, now col¬
lecting for Mr. Bussey, was down
on the Ranch a short time back.
Now if you haven’t the money
you will have to get out of sight
or kind words of the Col will make
you steal a little for him.
Mr. J. N. Lewis will get about
seventy-five bales of cotton on
the Howard place (his year. Ow¬
ing to the many backward sea
sons and other things against him.
John has an excellent crop.
Everybody within the next ten
days should subscribe for the
Correspondent. What for? Be¬
cause it is so much improved that
it is now a first class paper. It
already has a fine circulation and
every bona fide subscriber will
be entitled to a premium, as soon
as the Fool Killer’s photograph
appears in its columns. N
F. K.
People that want so much
ought to do a little work.
