j MOLENA MENTION.
Molena, Ga., February 23.—
Well, it seems like the last week in Feb
ruary will have prettier weather. It is

CyWe were glad to learn yesterday
■while in Molena that we would get our
rural mail route which was applied for
last fall, beginning at Molena, following
the Zebulon road to N. K. Jordan’s,
thence due south to Union Academy,
thence to Lifsey, then back up the

tins season, but will be ready for 1904.

wives of the surrounding country in
\4elling their eggs, chickens, butter
and vegetables, for which they always
paid the highest market price.
f SILVEY SNOW FLAKES.
Silvey, ||(4a., Faormry 24—We
know of nothing that is more, con
t demned by the word of God than
povetousuess. but we see it more and
"more cultivated each year as we ride
along the road and notice the last
resting places of many dead bodies, to
see the land cleaned up and cultivated.
We say, “Oh 1 you covetous man; re
member there is no rest promised you
in this world or the world to come.
As Hanna’s negro pension bill is
being discussed by th’ readers of the G.
$. W., and as w s tave turned it about
and viewed it from all sides, we find
two disadvantagvs to one advantage.
The first and only advantage is that it
would put more money in the South ;
but that would only create two disad
vantages—first, idleness, aud second,
strife among the two races. Now. we
are not totally opposed to the negro
pension, but if we were a Southern
< congressman we would make an amend
ment to the bill to pension all those not
able to work from old age or infirmity
, so much a year, or so much a month.
We think a bounty and then so much a
month would be unwise, and also we
think that general pension bill for all
ex-slaves, $s Mr. Hanna has framed
bis bill, would be a greater curse to the
South than it would be a blessing.

IE Pattersou, now of Vicksburg,

Prof C. 0. Wi che offers a book each
Fiiday for the pupil that can spell the

place. Friday George Rickies and

the book for spelling thiJfnost words,
