Our Special Reporters.

near the Irwin county lino.
The home of the editor of the

Among the improvements being

A singing society lias boon organ

Having giving the requisite $300
bond Mr. W. F. Harrell was released
from jail the Ural of Inst week. The
reduction in the amount of I he bond
from $1,G00 to $3(lQ resulted from
the mistrial in Ids case at superior
court.
The beautiful,balmy spring weather
of the past few days seems to have
endowed Berrien county farmers with
ivdv courage, and they are at work
with a vim. Some have a good slam!
of corn up already, and others are
planting.
The recommendation of I he lale
grand jury that the Berrien county
iir.li law lie repealed does not slay ils
provisions; they are still in force un
til the legislature passes the repeal
ing law uml il is approved by tlie
governor. So I hose who desire lo
observe the IIhIi law had better mind
their “p’s and q’n.”
The marriage of Mr. Walter A.
Lindsey anil the charming Miss Flora
Cone, of LaCrossc, Fla., is announced.
They wore both engaged in teaching
school in this county and the mar
riage occurred at the home of Mr. E.
I). Walker, four nrlleH east of Adel,
Both of the contracting parlies are
popular and liavo many friends wlm
desire for them much happiness and
prosperity.
Probably, no county in southwest
Georgia has been so Ijmelltted by
newspaper advertising us Berrien. By
its means the tuxuhlc property of the
tcounly has doubled in value within
the post denude, and the eyes of the
North,East and West are being turned
to its fertile fruit and farm lauds us u
most prollluble investment. The
prices of thtso lands have doubled
and trebled within a few years, ami
every prospect is good for u still fur
ther and greater advance.—“H.” in

mentation—the poor were taxed for
the benefit of the rich, and were not
represented in the councils of the na
tion. An eight years war threw off,
temporarily, the yoke; but In a quar
ter of a century it was tried to be re
placed, but failed. Then was sot up
another scheme—that what gunpow
der could not do should bo occorn
plished by the god, mammon. A fi
nancial policy was inaugurated by
the British cabinet to control labor
by capital—weaken the masses and
virtually enslave and make tributary
all I he English speaking world.
Are we free from the British crown
to-day as a nation? If so, why aie
we billed on to obey the laws of tho
Empire? We, as a people, are free
to pursue such policies as will con
duce to the greatest good to the
greatest number; or, we are depend
ents of that government whoso be
hests we must obey.
If w« must adjust our tariff and
financial laws to suit the British sys
tem, wherein are we more indepen
dent than Canada?
I do hope tho filth will excel the
08rd congress, as the last of March
oes the last of February.

Sunday-School Mass Meeting.
It was tho privilege and pleasure 1
of the Gazkttk man to attend tho
Sunday-school meeting of. the IIo-
merville association at Lcliaton last
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It
was a most interesting meeting, pre
sided over by Elder T. B. Cooper,
tiie venerable pastor of the Leliaton
Baptist church, and Capt. VV. H.
Gary, of. Iloraerville, acting as sec-
votary.
Our space will not permit us to
give a detailed report of the meeting.
It must siillice to say that the ar
ranged program was observed almost
in its entirety. The discussions of
tho questions wore apt and instruc
tive, tho sermons logical and con
vincing, tho prayers thoughltiil and
earnest, and tiie singing was with the
spirit and understanding. Everyone
wlio attended were delighted witn tho
services. On Sunday three persons
—Mr. MuWhite, wife and daughter
—joined tiie Leliut ,n church by
letter.
A strong resolution of thanks to
the people of Leliaton, for tiie hearty
welcome and unselfish hospitality ex
tended to the attendants upon the
meeting, wns adopted.
Tho experience of this editor is
that Leliaton is a most pleasant piae.o
at which to recreate. The people
are all faultless in their hospitality
and entertainment.
