(vtoUf.i Sumpter county, and the mules do not have to drag over an acre apiece 10 produce the hale. Aa a sample year, the cotton off this plantation of 1,8#0 acres brought about $20,000 for the crop of 1800. Mr. Hay ia one of tho most substantial farmers of Sumpter county—one who lias grown up between the plowhandlcs, and who says ho would not exchange his place as a successful farmer with any business man in Armericus or Atlanta either. Pcniecola Xowr: A few daya since, while a large congregation was attending one of Rev. C. L. Chilton’s meetings in the Palafox Street Methodist church, and the ladies were arrayed in their beautiful Raster hats, all bedecked with artifi cial flowers, rivaling nature in bcanty and forma through tho exquisite art of the milliner, a humming bird flew in through one of the open windows and darted from one pretty hat to another, seeking nectar sweets from the flowers of art, which bad deceived even its keen instincts. It was a beautiful triumph of art over nature, and for an instant every eye was diverted from tbe preacher to the bird. The book commission, appointed by Governor Atkinson to revise the text book* and adopt a uniform sys tem, will hold its first meeting in Macon this month. Prot. W. M. Slaton of Atlanta will not accept the presidency of tho Dahlonega College, which has been tendered him, although ho refused to discuss the matter not having given the board of trustees of tho college his answer. A Kansas boy who smoked 1,200 packages of cigaretts saved tho pict ures and sent them to the firm, asking what they would give for them. Tho nnswer was as follows: Smoko 1,200 more and we’ll send you a coffin. MuhIc—LaCuorlunilc «!»• Roses 8tra‘hho£. Ml * so* Debbie MeCnteantl Majrgie Rhode*.

The Musical Entertainment. Several hundred of T>fton’s cul tured and music-loving people greet ed Miss Myrtle Pound’s music clnss at the woman’s fair building last night Tifton knows Miss Pound’s ability as a music teacher, as was ev idenced by the unusually large at tendance, and we risk nothing in saying that, her pupils measured up fully to the expectations of her patrons and friends. The entertainment consisted of vocal and instrumental music, and tbe rendition of each piece elicited prolonged applause. We have neither time nor space to give tbe entertainment such a notice as it deserves. Let it suffice to say, that the pupils evinced careful and skillful training and won high en connutns for themselves and their popular and accomplished teacher. The patrons of Miss Pound’s mu sic class are congratulating them' selves on the rapid and solid ad vancement of her pnpils. May continued success crown her fnture efforts along the lines of her grandly elevating profession. Valdosta District Conference.

Mr. Charlie Powers passed a forged check on Mr. Jas. H. Parks, a mer chant of Tifton, but tbe fraud was detected and powers arrested before ho could leave town. It seems that he purchased several articles of clothing from Mr. Parks Wednes day and handed him a check on tho Southern Bell Telephone Company in payment. Mr. Parks did not have tho change, hut gave him $20 and a due bill for the balance Later Mr. Parka became a little suspicious that something was wrong and went out to question Powers. Ho was found on the G. S. A F. train at twelve p. nt. and when ap proached ran from the car. He was caught and Thursday morning given a bearing and pleaded guilty. Justice Youmans bound him over to next term of court and he was sent to Nashville Friday. Powers is a middle aged man, with a countenance rather frank and pleasing than otherwise. In the court room Thursday his manner was calm and resigned. When seen at the jail he said he had no statement to make. He spoke brokenly and was nervous.- The penalty for forgery is not less than three nor more than seven years imprisonment opposing banks and delnges the country.
