Something From Sunny Side.
Sunny Side, Ga., May 21.—The
rain began falling yesterday mern-
ing and has not ceased up to this
writing. We had a light frost last
Tuesday, which killed some cotton
and other Bmall plants. The farmers
were about done chopping cottou bo
fore the rain, but we suppose they
will have It to chop again.

guarantee erery member a good
chance of getting a wife, that is, if
he will act like a gentleman skonld.

Frelicked in the early spring a Mis*,
Fancy I free, with not a thsngbt amiss;
.otter in the season came a mister,
Hanging ted round the maiden-then they mis¬
her;
Kell in lore—perhaps they didn’t mean to,
But papa objected, and ’twos meaa, too;
Swore that many he would never let her,
So the disobeyed him to the letter,
And the mister and the merry maiden
Fled and found a justice and were made un.

The revised prayer book will not be

Miss Maggie Stealey, of Anna, Ohio
returned yesterday from a trip to

T. J. Williamson, of Barnesville, the
mail agent between Atlanta and Satan
nah, spent yesterday forenoon in the
city.
The rain all day Sunday was thorough
and penetrating, and helped the soil and
vegetation very much, though it left the
atmosphere much cooler yesterday than
ia usual at this time of the year.
W. D. Randall is meeting with mnch
success and encouragement in getting
up his directory. It is a good enterprise.
Griffin needs a good directory and should
do her best to help the scheme along.
J. L Oxford’s meat wagon ran away
yesterday evening, turning over the wa
ter trough at the King corner and scat
taring beef and boy along Taylor
Btreet until the horse reached home.
Nothing much hurt.
Mrs. Wm. Warder writes back from
Cincinnati that people up there are
wearing overcoats and sealskins. That
is what they would be doing here If they
hadn’t prematurely pawned such articles
for useless Bummer clothes.
J. H. Joyce, the editor of an Ohio
matrimonial paper, cut his throat Sun
day. Trobably owing to lack of business
on .account of this being leap year,when
old maids are privileged to make their
proposals person ally.
Only one case was on docket at police
court yesterday. Clara Logan was fined
$5,00 and costs, or 20 days for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. Court was
held in Recorder Cleveland’s office in
the Agricultural building.
Notwithstanding the continued cool
weather and occasional frosts, it is be
lieved the Northern fruit crop is still
safe, and but little injured if any. The
bloom is so thick this year that two-
thirds of it oould fail to mature, and
yet leave an enormous crop.
The executive committee of Fayette

tie of Jew Nipper corjal.” His wife ad
ded the corjal, probably to help her

Removal I
The MIDDLE GEORGIA JOB OFFICE has been removed up-stairs, over
Blakely's store. We return thanks for the almost universal patronage of the
people of the city, at well as the towns adjacent, and repeat our old motto.
‘‘25 percent cheaper than anybody," and first-class commercial work.
We invite all to visit our office, and give us a chance to bid on their work.

John Waidroup. of the Gray settle
meat near Sunny Side, was seriously bit
by a water moccasin while fishing on
Saturday afternoon. The party had
caught an ed, which escaped, and in
reaching around for it Mr. Waidroup
grasped the snake, which bit him three
times in the arm. At last accounts be
was recovering.
Some of oar State exchanges seem in
dined to praise Judge Brown,
of the Blue fudge curcuit, above his des
erts.He was sot reversed in a single case
by the Supreme Court, doting the last
session, but what does this amount to
when you consider that he had onli six
cases to go npon. Judge Boynton had
thirteen cases before the Supreme
bench ami onlj two revetsals, which is
a better showing than Judge Brown.—

No. 1 engine and the new reel left
for Americus on yesterday noon’s
freight, in charge of Jerry Darden
and Wyatt Muckle,
No. l*s new reel arrived late Sat
urday night, but the boys took it off
the cars, put it together and slept
under it the same night. It is a reel
Bweet affair.
Just before going to press we learn
that George White has decided to
go with No. 2 as “cut loose” and W.
H, Baker as “pull off” These are
two of No. 2 *h old standbys, and
the boys are confidant and exultant
over the fact that they are going.
Americus Recorder : “The Stone
walls of Griffin, if past lecords
amount to anything at all, will be
the most formidable rivals our
Wide-Awakes will have to encounter
on next Wednesday. They will come
fally^prepared, having telegraphed,
on Friday last, for a set of couplings
to attach to their hose, as they intend
to use the Wide Awakes steamer.
They will bring what I consider the
best and fastest reel in the Sontb,
the wheels are over six feet high and
it was built by the Silsby Manufac
turing Company for fast time. It
isn’t very fancy, but to the contrary,
very plain, but the boys get there
with it as a general thing.-’
The Leap Year German.
The young ladies intending to
participate in the Leap Year Ger
man met at the Nelms House jester
day afternoon and decided upon the
time and place. It i9 to be at the
Greys Armory on Thursday night,
May 31st, with refresbmr nts in the
adjoining buffet. Seventeen couplos
will be present, and Aleck Murray is
•aid to be the only boy invited who
does not dance—but they couldn’t
get along without Aleck. Miss Em
ma Johnson will lead the German.
Tho whole affair is expected,by those
boys who have nad the good luck to
be asked, to be one of the most pleas
ant occasions ever enjoyed in Grif
fin; and judging from the Leap Year
party of the first of the year, this ex
pectation is certainly well founded.

Co ncos n, May 21. —All Concord
went to the stockholders meeting tba

the Georgia Midland ’ The Coium
bus papers say that we carried the
prettiest women and children ever
seen in the city, and the most of
them. We fouml Columbus to be
well laid off, and broad streets weil
shaded, and nice people—plenty of
ice, etc. The President and Direc
tors of the road are the right men in
the right place. Whatever they do
is all right with me, whether I get
dividends or not; a free ride I intend
to have the balance of life.
I understand a black hearted
scoundrel put rails and rocks on the
railroad near Neal the other night,
but failed to do any damage.
We bad a beautiful rain yesterday
and all nature is booming. Crops
fine and everybody in good humor.
J. E. McLendon, of Waynman-
ville, is on a visit to this town. Ed
is a good fellow and has a host of
friends.
Our mei chants have sold ten or
fifteen thousand dollars worth of
guano and are now taking notes for
the same. If we lail to make a good
crop, farewell vain world.
In this town are two preachers and
preaching every. Sunday Our morals
are good and religion at a high
standard.
I understand our folks have organ
ized a Farmers Alliance here. I caa
not see what good a thing of that
sort can do. If men will pay their
debts merchants will sell goods
cheap enough regardless of Alliances
or tariffs. I intend to get up a debt
paying crowd, each of whom shall
bind himself to pay all debts of the
body. If I succeed you may look
out for cheap goods. It is the cer
tainty of getting pay that governs
the price of an article. I had rather
have 50 cents in my pocket than
on Tom, Dick and Harry. You are
wise in selling your paper for 50
cents in cash, instead of one dollar in
promises. J. A. W.
