Wo have just thrown aside the
first copy of “Georgia’s Big Daily
for the “new year,” after reading
over its “Political Reckonings,
“Washington Gossip,” and
brief editorial upon the “old year
and its diaaatera,” to write you the
event* of the day from a atand
point—if not so situated to hear
from the “8ute» around” or give
you thenewa from the “Old World
—that will interest you in the
workings of a determined people
build up a center for as fair a see
tion of country as Georgia can
boaat. la tho pact wo have called
your attention to an element that
is the life and success of ail corpor
ations and municipalities—unity
of sentiment and unity of action,
Let there Jhe no lack of this piinci-
ple in our midst and your efforts
will be crowned with success. Re
member that any aid extended the
cause of education la an investment
that you owe to yourself as a peo
ple and to those who are to follow
ua. The past belongs to God, the
present is ours to improve, and the
luture is the field of the untutored
young to whom we owe every ea
ergy, every thought and care,
behooves na to look after the cafe
ful {election of c|ty fathers, for an
other year. We want good men
with the interest of our little city
well enstilled as a principal to man
age its finances and executive de
psrtmcnts with judioious economy.
We have but to work jand the im
provements we now boost of as an
effort of a few years will far sur
pass the expectations of eomo who
in all things see nothing until it
becomes a “stumbling block” in
their narrow path of life.
As nn ovidenco of the feeling in
our midst, witness the rental of
rent estate and the sale of personal
property a few days ago at the ad
ministrator's salo of the K. C.
Martin estate. Note the moving in
of new business men and not an un
occupied house in the place, store
or dwelling. See sueh men as Geo.
Chapman identifying bit interests
with ua and forming a nucleus
around which will center the aame
energy and management that has
won for himself and boys the repu
tation of being the best farmers-
among ua Mr. Schwab is to take
charge of bla blacksmith ahop,
while Mr. Holt will-be found in the
wood shop. This is an enterprise
much needed at Bronwood and
brings ua in connection with a peo
ple much needed in any communi
ty. Success to you, gentlemen, iu
your new enterprise. :/ "
Mr. G. P. Simpson occupies the
R. C. Martin store house. Dr. Sta
pleton moves into the honue mode
vacant by Mr. Simpson, and will
Yefit it and furnis|i it yrlth a stock

ous and handsome Mr. Ray of At
lanta leaves this week for Florida,
where they will spend the winter
at “Geise’a Grove” on the St.
John’s.
The Misses Batts, of Smithvi|le,

CHRISTMAS IK TilE 28th DUTBICT.
Mb. Editob:—I thought I might
be pardoned for trsepassing upon
your space sufficiently to briefly
state a few of the items of nows
btppening in oar psrt ot the county,
which you are at liberty to publish
if you think they are of sufficient
importance.
One little negro on the place of
Dr. D. Bagley was made drunk by
eomo jolly colored men to have
little Cbristmae fun, the effect of
said drunk being to send said little
negro to Join the “ange! band.”
Another jolly colored brother,
chock full of Christmas, shat
another, got married, and allot still
another, all in the short apace of
two days. How’s that for jolly ?
The occasion, however, of most
interest and importance was a game
of base ball between twenty of the
“Sand Hill Club” which was play
ed on Thursday, the 27th of Decem
ber, near the residences of James
Roach and James Murry. D. A
Small was captain of tha first ten
and E. B. Wallace was captain ot
the other, the winning afde being
entitled to crown the “Queen
Love and Beauty.’! The following
are the scores:

Captain Wallace beat two round*

game was interesting and well play
ed, and caoh side did it’s best. The
playing commenced abont eleven
’clock and at tfrp . o’olook the
game was suspended.for.dinner,
which was bountiful. Then tha
playing was resumed; continuing

madcap bis mind, (and that was
not an easy thing to do among to
much beauty) the coronfltion took
place.. Leading Mia* 2qli*^a Scott
to a seat in the center of the room
he boldly advanced With crown in
hand and said: •' " 1 '
"In presenting this to yon, re
member, Miss Xulieka, that the
brightest gem that glitter* in the
coronet is thy punty of heart and
goodness of soul.”
Leading Miss Scott to the head
of the room, ail took position in
cotillion. Prof. Bnrko struck np
something lively and everything
went merry as a marriage bell. Mita
Znlieka wore the crown very be
comingly, and when there wae so
much beauty, it waa a compliment
of which she may well feel proud.

in tho rear rank of Captain Wal

tled to some privileges in the cere
mony, turned to Mrs. Bet, and
placing bis old hst (which bad no
crown) on her head, said as solemn
ly as ho could: “Vanity of vani
ties, all is vanity saith the preach
er,” at which Mrs. B., feeling her
self greatly complimented, leaned
her head proudly bock and replied
in her sweetest toacs, “I should

Editobs Ruobdkb:—At the ear
nest solicitation of yonr Solicitor,
the writer will attempt to write up
the above subject. At the risk of
first, its going to the waste basket,
second, being called a fool by some
few of your reader*. Every think
ing man In Southwest Georgia will
admit that there ought to be a
obange In fkrmlng here, and every
thinking man will admit that there
ought to be more stock raised here.
Now the queetion is, how aia we
going to make the change? More
stock with ua meana more feed for
•lock and more pasture*, and more
feed and paatnre* for stock means
less acres in ootton. But how are
we to turn onr old crony cotton,
atoose at all? Permit the writer
to make a few suggestions. In
Southwest Georgia there are a great
many large farms and tha moat ol
these farm* have branches and
ereeka running through them, in
the swamps of tho branohea and
orccks there is,a natural range for
cattle and hogs. Let us draw a
picture. Say w* take a tan mule
farm with five or tig hundred Seres
ot opei) land. Say there I* a thou,
■and acres of bed belonging to the
piaoe. Now draw a picture of the
averag*' condition''oif snob alarm
and tho financial condition of the
farmer, «ud you will very likely
find that each of them are bad.
Now w* must ad mi*'that this state
