A large crowd; went out to Beaver
Ruin on last Tuesday, in quest of the
fleet-footed hare. The captain of
the company was Mr. S. B. Archer.
His strict orders were that no one
should shoot a rabbit in his bed.
Fifty three were killed by the party
of hunters. A member of the Nim
rod party presented us a rabbit which
weighed four pounds after it was
dressed. Just one member of the
party shot at a rabbit In the bed, and
that was the captain. Of course he
did not have to obey those strict or
ders he gave.

been patented, and the patent. has
been bought by a company of gentle
men, who will, at an early date, or
ganize a corporation.

! Rev. Z. J. Edge will not be able
to accept the pastorate of the Jeffer
son Baptist church this year. Next
Sabbath, Rev. J. S. Hartsfielld of
Columbus will preach at 11 a. m.,
and 7:30 p. m., in the Baptist church
heTe. The name is a synonym of
intellectual strength and spiritual
fervor. We know several people
by this name, all of whom are men of
strone minds and strong characters.
There has never been a greater
demand for teachers iin Jackson coun
ty than there has been this year.
Some of the schools have been sup
plied with principals only during the
last few days, and a few are still lac
king for assistant teachers. Com
missioner Moore has been very ac
itivie in his efforts to supply all the
schools of the county with first
class teachers, and now that all
have principals, he is confident that
it is only a question of a few days
until a,ll the schools will be sup
plied with assistants also.
| Rev. Charles T. Brown, pastor of
Academy church, will make Lavonia
his future home. For several years
he has resided in Gainesville, but
having accepted the pastorate of
the Lavonia church, decided that it
is 'best for him to reside in that
splendid, progressive and prosperous
city. Mr. Brown is an able preach
er, a splendid and consecrated gentle
man. We feel sure that the people of
Lavonia will be pleased to have him
as a citizen as well as a pastor.
The convicts afre at work on the
road between here and Commerce, j
and they are buildiing a very fine .
road. The road is being relieved of
kinks and short curves, and is thirty
feet wide. It is being shaped by H.
C. Barnett’s road smoother. If all
the road from Winder to Commerce
will be buiiß, just as the convicts are
now building the Commerce road, j
there wiiU be no danger of Jackson :
losing the National highway. In due
course of time, Chairman Braselton
says the entire road will be made one
of the very best in the state-
Mr. H. C. Barnett, of Harrisburg
district complimented several of

Home Burns.
—(Last Saturday morning at about
3 o'clock Mir. John G. Fields was
awakened by the crash of falling tim-
J ber and was brought to the realiza-
of ttie startling fact that his
hoiu.se was on fire, and that it was in
the act of falling in on hiis family.
Mr. Fields succeeded in awakening
all of his family in time to save them
though many of them had narrow es
capes. Nothing was saved of any
consequence of the household ef
fects. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by one of the girls
.setting a box of ashes under or near
the stove room the day before. Mr.
Fields came here from Jackson coun
ty and built his home a little more
than a year ago. He is a good citi
zen and thills loss falls heavily on
ihjirm. The people are contributing
very liberally and we hope to soon
see him placed in as good condition
as he was before the fire. Nine in
the family and all to have shoes.,
hats, clothes, bedding and something
to eat. We are sure any help given
them will be appreciated. —Arnoldville
