Fisher's Seed Oats, Hay and Oat Straw at McLeod & Co.’s Abbeville, Ga. 10 27 lm The Waycross Journal has this to say about the pastor of the Baptist church there: < t Rev. W II Scruggs, is one of the grandest men in all South Georgia and one of the most popular pastors Waycross has ever had. He is pure gold. An ideal preacher, a pastor loyal and true and loving, s. man whom every one, irre spective of denomination, delights to honor, lie is doing a work for God and lus community which cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. The equipoise of the man, the kindliness of his disposition, the tenderness of his great heart, make him a general favorite. Eleven years in the ser vice of his church in Waycross at test the fact. If there is a man in all the world who has not, or de serves not to have an enemy, that nan is that golden-hearted pastor of the Baptist church, Rev. W H Scruggs." Rev. Scruggs is the pas tor of our boyhood and we bow rev erently to the above statement, for there was never one more true. He is an uncle of the beloved pastor of the Abbeville Baptist church, Rev. M L Lawson, about whom the r. ne statement can be made. Notice Tex Payers, The tax books are now open and you *rc requested to call and settle your city taxes for 1898, promptly.

A petition from Homebody comes out in the paper to shorten the line around Abbeville and leave a lot us out in the country among the “crackers! Well, crackers are bad after all to have especially if they are “Snowflakes" that get crisp, good and quick round the tire. But this new line mk;'ht help the town because the bridges and branches and roads over them would have to be kept by somebody outside. Co you reckon the mana gers get enough tax from the sur purbans to keep up all their long streets etc. any way? You know I these ought to bo times of autration Presi- J and not scateration, from the dent down. The nation that grabs too much mqy count on being for ever in hot water, if it doesn't lose what it lias. But I started out to say that the most needed lesson of the two, is to spell “Corporation" into “co-opera tion." Now spose we quit spending dime and money and feeling over the “court house question ." corporation etc. and make a long pull and a strong pull for co-op-eration, from the mayor and council clear through the catalog—merchants, farmers, doctors, lawyers, employers, em ployees, schools, churches, ete. Y A great big cable of a sticking piaster ought to lie put round the last one of these fellows that tucks his head down like a box-tarepin and thinks of npbody’s self but his own, what ever he goes at. But enough, j ve got a plan of co-operation that will work, but I won’t tell it yet. A Fable. A donkey stepped into a store one day and asked for the proprietor, who walked out of his private office to meet him, but was surprised to see a donkey in his store. “Why are you here?” he asked. t. You know this is no. place for a donkey.” “I am here," said the donkey, “because I saw your advertisement on the fence that surrounds iny pasture. I knew that you, too, must be a donkey, or you would have placed the advertisement in a live newspaper, where it would be read by the people, not donkeys. Being lonesome today, I thought I would be neighborly and call on you. ”—Danville Breeze.
