When September breeze? blow
O'er the landscapes pleasant miles
Maidens chatter in a row
Os the coming winter’s styles.
Then the matrons sit and spin
Yarns about their family trees,
Or the social sets they’re in,
Or about such things as these.
And the youths for glory thirst
On the gory football field,
Or where bowlers do their worst,
Or where other spiels are spieled.
But the badgered family man,
With a look that’s full of care,
Doth his local bill fiercely scan,

Dog Days Weather.
How the weather was in Griffin
during the forty dog days is as
follows:
There were 22 days on which it
rained.
There were 6 partly cloudy days.
There were 11 fair days
There was 1 cloudy day.
It rained in Georgia every day
during the forty dog days 8o if it
rains on the first dog day, every
man can be a weather prophet; all
he has got to do is to predict scat
tered showers. So if it rains the
first dog day, prepare for abundance
of rain. If it does not rain the first
dog day, prepare for much dry,
hot weather.
So you see August was a very
wet month. The glorious change
which I predicted was a little slow
getting here, but it got here just
the same, which is the equinoctial
storm that has come on sea and

were some doubting Thomases wt o
didn’t believe the equinoctial storm
would come on sea and land, but it
came just the same. A. L. 8 ,

Storekeeper at Neal Cut
by Negro.
—_____
J J. Williamson, the »V r. keeper i
at Neal, bad an encounter with a
r.egro Monday night wlrch ri suited
in his being carried to Concord fur
repairs.
The negro, whose name our in
formant could not learn, was using
profane and rough language in the
store, when Mr, Williamson told
him that he must stop. The negro
stopped and began to apologize, but
his apology was not satisfactory to
Mr. Williamson, who came from be
hind the counter and knocked the
man down. The negro arose and
drew bis knife and ent the store
keeper three fearful gashes across
the face, one just across the eyes,
one from the forehead down the
right aide of the face to the chin and
the third across tne top of the fore
head, just below the hair—each lay
ing bare the skull.
No physician being at band, Mr.
Williamson was carried to Concord
on the train, which camo along about
that time.
58th” Session ofScuthern
Musical Convention.
Barxesvillk, Ga., Sept. lf>.—Editor
News and Sun, Griffin, Ga: Your
kindness in calling attention to the
58th session of the Southern Musical
Convention to be held with the Midway
M E. church and community, brought
us a good attendance from several
counties aronnd.
We regret that many lovers and ad
vocates of music, both vocal and instru
mental, were too busy to be with us on
the 12th and 13th instant.
If there was ever shown in any com
munity a greater degree of hospitality
and kindness to visitors and apprecia
tion of such services as were rendered
this community practically displayed it
on this occasion.
We have attended many sessions of
this convention for the last. fifty-< igfat
years, a good number cf them in your
own Spalding county, whiih we enjoy
ed on all occasions, but none were to a
greater degree than the 58 h just closed.
Suffice it to say, the order was none
better; while the crowd was large and
the house could not hold the leople, yet
there was no or disturbance taAw <
terl'ere with the music or discussiottsW
musical topi's which were indulged jnJ
Officers were elected for the ensuing
year, as follows:
E. T. Pound, President, Barnesville,
Ga.
J. Charlie Burt, Vice President,
Patillo, Ga.
Thos J. Williamson, Secretary, For
syth, Ga.
J. L. Patterson, Assistant Secretary,
Sunuy Side, Ga.
Considering the shortness of the only
one week’s notice of this meeting, it is
highly cheering to the advocates of the
cause of music to witness the prompt
ness in which they rally, and the good
services rendered.
Messrs. T. J. Williamson, Charlie
Burt, Profs. Pendley anti S. Banks, A.
G. Combs, D. A. Green, A. A. Smith
and a few others have ran iered most
of the services as teachers and choris
ters tor the past years.
Rev. Doc Smith, of Locust Grove,
was called for on Saturday evening.
He gave <he convention a highly enter
taining, instructive and cheering talk
on musical interest of scenes of the past
in the history of the convention, of its
session just after the war in 18<’>5, and
again thirty-two years later at the
same place (Locust Grove) in 1897, of
what has been done between these
times and the prospect of what may be
done yet in the future, and had us all
interested in the love of music, the
good that may and will be done, ete.,
