land. Dr Garson and R A. Gordon,
and their oeuntunauces were bright
er than the dtv as they came back
and announced unbounded suoooas.
Major Bnlth was nine present on
the advisory board. Messrs Bailey,
Beck and Fly nt made short and ef
fective speeches before the board.
Is was decided to put all the regi
ments in camp this year, and four
of those nearest to Griffin will ne
camped here, while one in the
Southern part will go into oamp
at some central place there, to save
transportation. It may be that in
place of one regiment, the cavalry
and artillery may come; but
Governor Terrell, in whose hands
the matter really rests now, as it
has done all the time, assured the
News and Bun last night that ‘‘four
regiments or the equivalent of
four”—referring to the oavalry and
artillery as the equivalent of one
regiment—“will camp in Griffin this
summer.” The adjutant general
will figure on what regiment will be
left to camp elsewhere.
The encampment will range from
the last week in Juno to the last
week in July. It has not been
decided yet whether one or two
regiments will go into oamp at a
time, and so no dates can be ex
actly given now. Each regiment
will be in oamp seven days.
CONCORD OULDINUB.
Concord, Ga , May 12.—A fine
rain fdll here Monday, which was fol
lowed with showers for several days
and a continued strong and cool wind
from the northeast, which soem* to be
very injurious to the growing crops and
all vegetation and which has greatly re
tarded the cotton and corn which has
been recently planted in coming up.
G. F. Sims, a former resident of this
place, hut now of Barnesville, was here
Saturday. Mr. Sims is one among our
best citizens. While here he became a
cash subscriber to the G. S. W.
Mrs. Lucy Wright, of near here, has
been quite sick the past week with the
measles, and also her little grandson,
Ray Key. They are getting along all
right with them at this time.
John Mowman, who lives near hero,
has a very bad hand, which he had the
misfortune to accidentally split open
with an axe some time ago. He needs
just such sympathy from the people as
will prompt them to help him, as he is
a poor man and he and his wife, who
is very feeble, are dependent on his
labor for a living, and neither are able
to work. Mr. Mowman is an old Con
federate veteran, but does not get a
pension.
J. W. Strickland, a very prominent
and extensive ’’araier here, has a patch
right here in town of the finest oats on
record. They stand very thick, having
been planted at the rate of six bushels
per acre and will, average five feet high.
They are just beginning to head, and it
is said that oats will grow from one
third to twice their height after they
commence to head. That being the
case,where will they reach?
H. 0. Oxford breaks the record for
finest strawberries, having some which
measure seven inches in circumference,
and a dozen make a quart, Mr. Oxford
spares no pains in the cultivation of his
strawberries, and is having a fine suc
cess in growing them, both as to quan
tity and a paying crop, as he always
finds ready sale for them at a fair
price. Why not other farmers try the
experiment?
There will be dinner on the grounds
at the quarterly meeting here Saturday
and many are expected to be present, as
there are seven churches to be repre
sented and much business of great im
portance to be transacted. So remem
ber the date and come out. Dr. Glenn,
the presiding elder, is expected to be
present ami will preach at. 11 o’clock
Saturday ami Sunday Os course, the
good sisters who po-sibly can will bring
well-filled baskets.
The friends of \V H. Hammond will
be glad to know that he is still improv
ing.
We forgot to mention last week that
Joe Oxford was singing rockabye baby
to a pretty little girl, which was born j
about two weeks ago. It is a remarka
ble fact that it is the only child that we
know’of born since Christmas, and not
a single marriage near here this year.
What's the matter? Hard times, I
guess.
W. C. Gilbert, a hustling farmer near
here, caps the prize for earliest cabbage,
having them headed up and ready for

comrades to beat that foi early vegeta

■UNNY BIDEI BOINTILLATIONS.
Sunny Side, Ga., May 13.—The
closing exercises of the public school at
this place came to a successful close last
night.
On Sunday morning, Monday and
Tuesday evening our little town was
thronged with people who came in to
witness the commencement exercises.
Sunday morning Rev. E. K. Akin de
livered the commencement sermoxi from
the subject, ‘‘What is man; man is
most fearfully and wonderfully made?”
The sermon was one of the most able
ever listened to by a Sunny Side con
gregation, and for an hour the preacher
commanded the attention of the great
crowd who had assembled to hear him.
The singing, which was conducted by
Jack L. Patterson, was very g00d..;;
On Monday evening the exercises
were continued at the academy aud the
primary department, assisted by a few
of the older pupils, delighted the large
audience with a splendid program. The
feature of the evening’s exercises was
“Tom 'rhumb’s Weeding,” in which
quite a number of children appeared,
and amid a gia id profusion of magnif
icent flowers, Tom Thumb and his little
sweetheart were united in the uncertain
bonds of wedlock.
On Tuesday evening the exercises
were further continued, and despite the
fact that the weather was somewhat in
clement, several hundred were in at
tendance.
The young ladies of the school sang a
song entitled “The moon is out tonight
love,” which is one of the prettiest of all
songs, and so beautiful was the rendi
tion that it is still ringing in the ears of
the music lovers who were present.
Miss Effie Bell, of Griffin, who has
charge of the music department, favor
ed the audience with a lovely recitation,
for which she was highly compliment
ed.
Probably the chief feature of the en
tertainment was an illustrated recita
tion in two scenes, entitled “The Span
ish dancing girl,” in which Miss Annie
Laurie Patterson, the charming assist
ant teacher, impersonated a gipsy danc
ing girl. Miss Patterson is a highly ac
complished elocutionist and her recitals
are always received with delight.
The exercises from Sunday morning
till Tuesday night were highly enjoyed
by all who attended, and those w-ho par
ticipated in the program acquitted
themselves with highest honors.
Prof. Elder and Miss Patterson are
receiving congratulations on the success
of their closing exercises and the large
attendance was evidence of the appreci
ation of the excellent success which the
teachers have given the school at this
place.

PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND.
Miss E. M. Swan Completely Cured of Terrible Blood \
Troubles That Doctors Could Not Relieve. »
In the month of May, it is an absolute
necessity that the body should be fur
nished with a richer and purer supply
of blood for the establishment of a health
that can successfully cope with the en
ervating effects <>f hot summer weather.
Poor blood in May produces listless,
am bitionless, sleepless, and sallow
faced men and women, who quickly be
come victims of some organic disease
that ends life.
Intelligent people recognize the ne
cessity of cleansing and fortifying the
system in May by using Paine’s Celery
Compound, which speedily removes all
poisons from the system, and gives to
the thin, watery blood a larger propor

the organs of the body to healthy action.
