was very courteously in
formed that there was not a vacant
house in town. Seems to us to be a
good opening for an investment.
With milk and poaches, preserves
of different kinds, large lucious wa
termelons, all kinds of vegetables in
profusion and the good old-time
camp meeting brand of “yaller” leg
ged spring chickens all over the
yard, your correspondent is in a most
amiable frame of mind just now.
Surely this is God’s favored section
of the Moral Vineyard.
We are glad to learn that Mrs. M.
G. Murray, who has been confined to
her bed tor some days with fever, is
fast convalescing. Dr. Hammond
attended her.
Elisha Tucker, while weather-
boarding his house last Saturday,
was thrown to the ground by the
breaking of one of the boards in the
scaffold. His injuries, while painful,
are not serious. *
E. E. Lytle has been wrestling
with a mild case of fever for the past
few days, but will be around again in
a day or two. 1

Milltown Mention.
Mili.town, August 13.—The hard
est rain this section has had this year
fell on the 12th inst.
Fodder pulling is about over in
this part of the county.
Mr. Tom Church, of Valdosta,
spent a few days in our city last
week.
W. F. Patten, one of our hustling
young merchants, spent a few days
in Savannah last week on business.
Miss Daisy Sauls, one of our most
charming young ladies, is visiting in
Valdosta this week.
Miss Mary Sessions, a beautiful |
young lady of Thoipasville, is visit
ing her aunt, Mrs. E. L. Padrick,
Rev. J. A. Giddens, of Sparks,
preached an able sermon at the
Methodist church in this place Sun
day last.
Messrs. Luke Webb and Wayne
Belote, of Hahira, accompanied by
their wives, spent several days fish
ing in Bank’s pond last week. The
principal object of their visit was for
the benefit of Mrs. Webb’s health.
Rev. E. L. Padrick is conducting
protracted services at Wright’s
Chapel, in Lowndes county, this
week.
L. D. Liles lias sold his mercantile
interests to R. S. Thigpen. The
stock will he moved to the latter’s
still near Ray’s Mill.
J. P. Patten’s genial countenance
no longer beams upon the customers
of Doctor Patten’s drug store. He
has again assumed the role of a ped
agogue and wields the rod in Ech
ols county.
D. T. Morrison has resigned his
position witli J. P. Brown, and now
smiles sweetly from behind the coun
ters at J. T. Asbury’s. Tom is a
people unlimited success. Prof.
Crosby knows no such word as fail
in his instructions. The writer and
a number of others from this com
munity, are in attendance. W. J.'
Rogers makes frequent calls at our
school and assists greatly as a tenor
singer. We arc indebted to the good
people of Bayboro for the kind hos
pitality shown us while in their
midst.
Misses Pearl and Xita Rogers have
returned home from a two years stay
at Wakefield, X. C., where they have j
been attending school. They were
accompanied home by their aunt,
Miss Minnie Roger?. After a short
visit to their parents, they will enter
college at Eufaula, Ala. We hope
that they will ho successful in all j
their studies and before many more j
wearisom days elapse will graduate
with hignest honors.
Rev. Odum is conducting a series
of meetings at Buck creek church, in
Colqpitt county. We trust he may
accomplish mush good.
W. W. Hancock has recently visi
ted his aged mother in Worth county.
He reports everything flourishing in
that part of the Sunny South.
J. T. Wright visited his daughter,
Mrs. C. W. Kitchens, on Friday of
last week.
Rev. Cary filled his regular ap
pointment at Antioch church Sunday
last, and preached to a large congre
gation. At his next appointment he
will protract several days, assisted
by Rev’s. Wells and King.
We are informed that Prof. J. S.
Sirmans will take charge of a class
in penmanship at Evergreen Acad
emy at an early date. 1 lope he may
prove of great help to those attend
ing. Rex.
gt The farmers have been busy for
the past few days pulling and saving
their fodder; all available help being
employed.
Several of our hoys hied themselves
away to Alapaha last Sunday to at
tend a protracted meeting in progress
there, so they say.
The prayer meeting at the Baptist
church last Saturday evening, had a
very small attendance, owing to the
fact, that blit few of us knew any
thing about it.
I Our young friend, Perry G. Eas-
^ ters, is having a store room erected
on his lot west of Weston & Gunn’s
commissary. It is 20x40 feet and is
two stories high. Mr. Tlios. Ball is
the builder.
Your correspondent has been
watching with much interest for
some months past, the wide-awake,
progressive spirit of the people of
Tifton, and the fruits thereof is being
realized. Your little city is bound to
go forward. With such a paper as
the Gazettk to publish the many
, material resources of our section, and
a citizenship that is working harmo
niously for the upbuilding of their
town—it is hound to forge rapidly
ahead. But the good people of your
town must not forget the medium
through which the most of these re
sults are achieved, ‘'your town paper.”
Reward and encourage it, by giving
Fit a liberal patronage. It will pay
i you well.
Our friend, E. E. Lytle, is decidedly
the happiest man in all these parts.
It is a girl, and is about one week
old.
The pear growers of this section
are not very joyful over the prices
realized on their crops just disposed
of# In some instances the fruit did
not sell for enough to pay expenses.
Enigma can boast of one of the
handsomest Methodist churches on
the Brunswick ahd Western railroad.
Our pastor, Rev. W. F. Ilixon, will
begin a protracted meeting here on
the 4th Sunday.
The mutilated remains of a negro
jjjlan were found last Sunday morn
ing, about one half mile cast of here,
on the Brunswick and Western rail
road track. The unfortunate man
had been dragged at least seventy-'
five fefet, and was horribly mangled
and torn. His brains and pieces of
skull was strewn along the cross-tics,
and his body was torn almost into
shi eds. He was employed at Bakers
still, about 34 miles east of here.
The supposition is that he was steal
ing a ride on the trucks of the Can
non ball. The man’s name was Bur-
rill Sharp. Justice J. R. Peters held
an inquest, and the verdict was rend
ered according to all that was known
of hi9 death.
