JUNE WILL BE HOT, WET
MONTH, SMS MB. SNIOER
I
I Total Eclipse of the. Sun Coming
June Sth Will Be Almost Total in
Griffin, Say s Weather Observer.
Prof. A. L. Snider, Griffin’s well
known local weather observer, in his
weather forecast predicts June will be
a hot, wet month. He says there will
be many showers with thunder
storms. His forecast for the month
follows: June 1, fair and hot; 5,
showers and cooler; 12, showers and
thunder storms; 16, violent thunder
storms, followed by cooler weather;
22, showers with wind; 25, showers
and cooler; 28, thunder storms.
Big Partial Eclipse Coming.
Prof. Snider says there will be a
total eclipse of the sun on June Sth,
visible throughout the United States,
as follows: The eclipse will be total
along a path about seventy miles
wide extending from Portland, Ore
gon, to Orlando, Fla.
The eclipse in Griffin will be a large
partial one, almost total here near
sunset. He says if you care to see
the total eclipse it will be necessary
to go to Orlando, Fla. This will be
the nearest place to see it, as the
eclipse will be partial to most parts
of the United States.
The next total eclipse of the sun,
says Prof. Snider, will occur in Sep
tember, 1923. It will be visible in
California.
On January 24, 1925,, there will be
a grand total eclipse of the sun on
Broadway, New York. Many years
I will roll around before Georgia will [
I get a total eclipse of the sun.

IN THE FLINT CIRCUIT
The Monroe superior court con
vened last Monday and that day was
devoted to civil cases and divorces,
j Tuesday two murder cases brought
lover from last spring a year ago were
tried. In one, the case of John Bell,
I John was convicted and sentenced to
life imprisonment. In the other,
I there was a mistrial. In this case the
| darkey arose in court and said “Mr.
iJudge, can’t 1 join the army?”
Judge Searcy's patriotic charge was
so eloquent and inspiring that the
court, for the first time in thirty
years, cheered the judge at its close.
The judge colored up at the honor be
stowed upon him and forgot to rap
for order.
The spring riding is over. Crime
has decreased to a minimum. In Hen
ry one man was found by the court
in jail, and that a misdemeanor. In
Upson the jail was empty. Monroe’s
court has ended in a two days’ ses
sion for its criminal week, one day
of which was devoted to separating a
number of "two sou's which should
have beat as one.”
Marriage is the happiest of God's
earthly conditions when love is en
. throned in the home, and gentlene s
and kindness and patience like hand
maidens wait ’round the hearthstone
to do honor at the wedded altar; hut
mismated, and untrue, to be married
1 Is to be ill-fated. S.
