SUNNY SLIDE SOINTILdLATIGNS.
Sunny Side,*GA., January 14 — A
report is in circulation to the effect that
Sunny Side Is infested with smallpox,
•. and while there is a possibility of the
truth, Dr. Starr expresses an opinion in
the negative. There are rumors of
smallpox atloat almost throughout the
entire county, but as yet we hate heard
of no deaths which were attributed to
that disease, and we are inclined to be
-* lieve that it is not smallpox. We don’t
propose to make any personal examina
tion of the patients, however, for that

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY hi. 1903.
ONLY TWO
WEEKS MORE
BEFORE THE CORRESPOND-
ENTS CONTEST CLOSES.
A Word to the Correspondents A«*»
■ociation at the, .Beginning of
Another Year’s Work.
Only two weeks remain until the
close of the contest announced at
the reunion last August, when the
following prizes will be awarded to
the members of the Correspondent ’s
Association of the Griffin News and
Sun :
To the one collecting the most
money on subscription to the G.
S. W., S4O in gold.
To the one collecting the second
largest amount, S2O in gold.
To the one collecting the third
largest amount, $lO in gold.
To the one collecting the fourth
largest amount, $5 in gold.
To the one collecting the fifth
largest arnomit, $2.50 in gold.
This money is now ready in the
City National Bank. All collections
must be in the bands of the pub
lisher by ten o’clock Monday morn
ing, February 21 As the first
comeson Sunday, this will allow
one day for delay in transmission,
if remittance, is made on Saturday
evening, January 31st. The an
nouncement of the winners will be
made in the daily issue of Tuesday
morning, February 21, and in the
weekly of Friday, February 6th. If
the winners have not called for the
prizes in gold by Monday, F bruary
9 th, the aahrd s will be mailed them
m postoffice orders instead.
Borne g jod work has been done
by quite a number of the oorres
ponuents, while others have not
done as well as their territory
would seem to justify. Let all get
to work in good earnest now and
hustle in earnest until the last hour
of the last day, as it is by no means
decided yet who will carry off these
rather valuable prizes. And' let all
subscribers cease longer to put off
the day of payment, but pay
promptly when approached, or vol
untarily turnover the um ;unt due
to the correspondent in their ter
ritory. Help your correspondent
and your paper at the same time,
It will be remembered that there
was another priae offered by the
editor at the Concord reunion, and
that was a five dollar gold piece <j
the best correspondent daring the
coming year, to be awarded at the
next reunion in August by a vote of
the correspondents there represent
ed in person o<r by proxy. As some
might think themselves debarred
from this contest by the obvious
superiority of some of the others,
we have decided to offer an addi
tional prize of two dollars and a half
in gold to thw one voted to be next
best and a dollar in silver to the
third best. Here are decided hon
ors to be won, as such a vote is
really worth more than the prizes
offered.
Ir> may be proper at this time to
inform some of our newer corres
pondents, and refresh the memory
of the older ones, as to just what
oonsritutes news in the eyes of rhe
editor and will escape the oblitera
tion of the blue pencil to which
some of them so much demur.
First—Marriages anddeaths. The
amount of detail er d -.scription
should be determined by the prom
inence of the parties.
Second—Special services at the
churches. Among these are includ
ed revivals, baptisms, reception of
members, Sunday school celebra
tions, etc. The arrival of a new
minister or the visit of a strange
preacher should be mentioned.
Third—Opening and closing of
public or private schools. Attend
ance should be noted and work of
teachers should be commented <sa.
School celebrations are appropriate
subjects for extended notice—but
not too extended-
Fourth—Political and other pub
lic gatherings. Main features of
primaries should be reported.
Candidates nominated, delegates
elected and committees appoint
ed are important. No attempt
should be made to report speeches,
but the number in attendance
should be fairly estimated and the
attention given to speakers and the
probible effect of speeches noted.
Elections should also be reported
promptly, with full returns.
Fifth—lmprovements of a public
or private character should be re
ported. New houses, churches or
schools are proper subjects,
Sixth—Local industries are very
important. Their character, ex
tent and effect on the community
should not be overlooked in any
mention made of them.
Seventh—Results of good farm
ing are always in order. Extra-
ordinary crops and fine live stock
deserve mention.
Eighth—Trivial matters should
ba avoided. Do not take liberties •
with your netgnbors or try to work
off jokes. O-nit reference to busi
ness affairs that properly baling to
the advertising department.
Ninth—Give the transfers of real
estate, parties to whom marriage
licenses are issued, such as reports
of the schools of the country and
the like. Important trials in
magistrate's o >ur*, e c
Tenth—When mentioning names
of visitors, not only give their name,
but tell who they are
Eleventh—Local traditions and
interviews with old residents would
bo in*erest.n< reading matter, if not
too long and the paper is not too
crowded ; wh’ch brings us lastly t >
Twelfth — When one neighbor
cross s the road to see another,
when a g rl spends half a day with
the girl at the next house, when a
young man pays regular or casual
court to a young lady in the
neighborhood or takes her to
church, it may be very interesting
to the parties concerned and *he
neighborho >d gos-ips,but really it is
not news to the public and will al
ways bo marked out unless it escapes
attention. Socal entertainments
and parties of all kinds, however,
are matters of note, as concerning
more than one or two, and should
receive such notice as their size de
mends
Cut the above rules out and refer
to them occasionally and vou will be
be surprised to find what an im
provement you will soon notice in
your letters,
SENOIA SENTENCES.
Senoia, Ga., January 13—Death,
the monster, has again visited our
realm— three deaths in one week 1 two
ladies and one gentleman. It has been
many years since all Senoia has receiv
ed such a shock as came last Friday
evening, that Prof. Eugene How ■,
president of the Georgia Telegraphy
School, had suddenly died in Atlanta,
where he had gone to have an opera
tion performed for appenuicitis. The
immediate cause of his death was
hemorrhage, produced by the oper tion.
Prof. Rowe, with his school, has done
for Senoia what cotton factories have
done for other cities. Thousands of
dollars have passed through the hands
of Seuoians through this enterprise
alooe. Prof. Rowe was an enterpris
ing, energetic promoter of every enter
prise looking to the upbuilding of his
town; indeed, a philanthropist. He
was charitable to a fault, ever ready to
help the needy, which many can tes
tify Sad is the loss of this dear
friend, and the writer’s heait is bowed
in sorrow. The funerifl was oonuuct-d
from the residence of Oapt. W. D
Lincb, father-in-law to the deceased,
last Sunday morning at eleven o'clock,
iu the presence of one of the largest
congregations ever assembled »t a
home funeral. The sermon was preach
ed by the renowned Dr Chapman, of
the Universalist faith <re>.idence At
lanta), after which the Masonic and
Odd Eellowsorders, of which he was a
brilliant member, took charge of the
remains and in dm tmin laid them to
rest in the city cemetery.

of Haralson F. & A. M , Drs. Luther
ana N. VV. Gnble, of Brooks Station
F. & A. M., Col. W. M. Glass, of New
nan, Judge Sharp, of Sharpsburg, were
in attendance ut Prof. Rowe’s funeral
last Sunday.
The Georgia School of Telegraphy
having a charter for twenty years, will
be continued under the tutorship of
Prof. Chadwick, one of the teachers.
I'hat oil mill we wrote about some
months since, is nearly in sight. Some
of our enterprising, motried men have
the enterprise iu hand. Now hitch on
a cotton factory, ginnery, oil mill,
guano factory and cotton factory—
what a nice combination to make
money for the stockholders, and such a
benefit for the farmers ; a little money
and a “heap” of “push” will bung the
combination to maturity
