GOOD AND CLEVER.
If all the good people were clever
' And all the clever people were
j good,
The world would be nicer than ever
We though that it possibly could.
But, somehow, ’tis seldom or never
The two hit off as they should;
j The good are so harsh to the clever,
p The clever so rude to the good!
So, friends, let it be our endeavor
To make each by each understood
For few can be good like the clever
Or clever so well na the good.

CASE AFFIRMED
Court of Appeals Sustains Damage
Verdict, Thomas vs. G. S. & F.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has
affirmed the verdict Of the jury in
the City Court of Tifton in the case
of Alvie Thomas vs. the Georgia
Southern and Florida railway com
pany, In which the plaintiff was
awarded $3,500 damages for per
sonal injury and ejectment from a
freight train of the defendant com
pany.
The plaintiff claimed that with u
companion J. T. Saunders, he was
en route from Campaign, Ill., to St.
Petersburg, Fla., and that they board
ed a southbound freight on the Geor
gia Southern at Cordele on November
26th, 1914. They had passed Tifton
the same night and when about a miio
south of the city, claimed a negro
brakeman, John Sturgis, came to the
gondola car on which they were steal
ing a ride and ordered them off, with
a pistol in his hand; that on their
failure to promptly respond, be shot
Thomas in the knee.
Thomas and his companion came
back to Tifton, where the two remain
ed for several months. Thomas
leg finally got well enough for him
to walk without crutches, but he
limps yet, the hall never having been
extracted from the knee.
The members of the train crew
testified that none of them saw eith
er Thomas or his companion on the
night in question. The negro swore
that he neither saw them nor shot
any one.
The negro John Sturgis was indict
ed by the Grand Jury for assault with
intent to murder; while Thomas and
Saunders were indicted for stealing
ride on a train. These cases are
yet to he disposed of in Superior
Court.
The case has been u hard fought
one and attracted considerable atten
tion both on the trial in the City
Court and before the Court of Ap
peals, where the railroad attorneys
raised legal questions in regard to
the master and servant law. hereto
fore undecided in this state. James
H. Price, Esq., of this city, argued
the case before the Court of Appeals
for the plaintiff, while J. E. Hall,
Esq., general counsel, of Macon, ar
gued the case for the railway com
pany. On the trial of the case the
plaintiff was represented by F. G.
Boatright, of Cordele, and J. S. Rig-
don and James H. Price, of Tifton,
while the railway company was repr?

THANKS US FOR STAND.
Cuthbert, Ga„ July 27, 1910.
Editor Tifton GaaatU:-
My Dea» Sir:—1 wish to thank you
on behalf of myself and wife for
your appreciation of J. E. Wray.
He was with B. F. Riley in Albany,
not Bascom Anthony, Mr. Anthony
followed him at Ducker in west
Dougherty. •
He came seventeen miles to see me,
not knowing myself or wife, but seu-
ing my name on the church roll and
in the Albany Advertiser that my wife
was aick he came to see us. He found
her and sister at home—a poor man’s
home, but into it brought all that one
of God’s men could bring—prayer
and sympathy.
This was Wray, the normal; now
bereft in many ways • • • in an
abnormal condition he violates law;
yet one of his best sermons was
from “Be not deceived, God is not
mocked; whatsoever a man sowctii
that shall he also reap,” and nun
knowing nothing 0 f Job’s and Milton’s
trials (and Wray's were similar), will
say he is proving his teachings; but
they are as ignorant as were Job':
BROOKFIELD NEWS.
We are sorry to note the illness of
Mra. A. B. McMillan and Mrs. J. U
Parrish, Their friends wish for them
an early recovery.
Protracted meeting is being held
at the Methodist church this week.
The local pastor, Rev. Olmstead, id
doing the preaching.
Misses Florence Turner and Irene
Bozeman, from Tampa, Fla., arrived
yesterday to be the guests of rela
tives here for some time.
Prof, and Mrs. R. B. Griner and
children returned Tuesday from
Nashville, where they spent a few
days with Mr. Griner’s mother. They
motored over in Mr. Griner’s new
nich he purchased last week.
Misses Blanche Bowen and La-
Verte Haisten returned Monday from
Enigma. They were the week-end
guests of Miss Willie Mae Shippey
of that place.
Mr. David Norman, from Norman
Park, was In Brookfield Tuesday.
He was acompanied home by his
nephew, Master Henry Davis Collier.
Mrs. Emily Medford returned
home Monday after a short visit to
her parents here, Mr. and Mrs. Demp
sey Willis.
It was with much interest we read
Miss Sutton’s article, “Brookfield 24
Years Ago,” in Tuesday's Gazette.
’Tis needless to say that it goes into
our scrap book. As Miss Sutton pre
dicted, Brookfield has never become
the metropolis of Georgia and we
venture to say, never will, but we do
boast of one of the neatest little vil
lages in Georgia. We have six stores,
an up-to-date ginnery, one black
smith shop, two churches, a good
school and just a host of the most
congenial people you would care to
meet, not to mention the farming
section around Brookfield. Later, we
hope to write more fully on that. For
the present will say that small saw
mills are still being operated near
here, and shingles are being loaded
on the A. C. L. here almost every
day by Mr. Sinclair, who operates a
shingle mill southwest of here. The
no.fencc law, after these 24 years, is
still a thing of the future and it isn’t
an uncommon sight to see rail fences
today, although the wire fences have
mostly taken the place of the old rail
fence that seemed to have no end in
our'youthful days a never-ending row
of grassy “fence jams” to be hoed
The youngsters of today who havi
never experienced the back-breaking
hand-blistering tusk of weding fence-
jams will never know just how to ap
preciate the modern, straight fence
of wire.
We have a rural route out from
Brookfield.

A marriage of much interest to a
wide circle of relatives and friends
was that of Misa Pearl Mae Parrish,
of this city, and Mr. P. E. Williams,
of Sylvester, which was solemnized
at the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Parrish, Wednes
day morning at 10:30. A number of
relatives and friends witnessed the
ceremony. Rev. Thomas L. Willing

officiating minister and the ceremony
was a very impressive one.
Preceding the ceremony Mr. Baker,
of Ty Ty, sang “You arc the Sun

The bride is a young woman of

THREE FREAK EGGS.
The Gazette is in receipt of three
eggs produced by hens belonging to
Mrs. J. B. Huff, who lives about two
miles south of Tifton.
Two of the eggs are a pretty pink,
while the other is just as pretty but
brown in color, all three being un
usual in this respect.
The brown egg has a perfect let
ter “H" on it also a design somewhat
like a map, which Judge Royals says
is indicative of the scrap going on
over the removal of the state capital
to Macon.
Mrs. Huff states that the pink eggs
turned that color when they were
handled, being much lighter when
they were taken from the nest.
The Best Laxative.
To keep the bowels regular the
best laxative is outdoor exercise.
Drink a full glass of water half an
hour before breakfast and eat an
abundance of fruit and vegetables,
also establish a regular habit and be
sure that your bowels move once each
day. When a medicine is needed take
Chamberlain’s Tablets. They ar
