Merry Christmas to all. «
Fortune’s wheel is always overloaded
on the other side.
Wit in the lover is apt to become
sarcasm in the husband.
The survival of the fittest does not
necessarily mean the survival of the
best.
Don’t answer a fool according to his
folly. Answer him according to his
size.
For J, B. Sword’s Corn
Whiskey, go to W. R. Reid.
$2.00 per gallon.
Remember not to imbibe too freely
of the ardent Christmas. Of coarse
we will take some of this advice.
If YOU want to buy the best
Whiskey for the least
go to w. R. Reid, Crawfordville
An exchange says, it is not always
the man who looks the wisest who
knows the mom; but most people don’t
know this, so that it will pay you to
look just as wise as you possibly can.
We will observe the time honored
custom of holiday next week, and no
jegular edition will be issued from this
office. We will however issue a
sheet of legal advertisements
week.

CRAWFORDVILLE, GA.. FRIDAY! DECEMBER 20. 1805.
*SIK MEETING OV TUG MASONS.
T)m masonic lodge of Crawfordville
some time ago announced that they
were going to have a feig time eating
oysters; and invited yhc lodgi e near
Norwood to join thertr. in the feast.
List Wednesday nighllweek was- the
t ine set for the fuiif Ou the day
when the c iiastrophttj^'Ss Crawfordville to take place
the sleepy lititle burg of.
swarmed with masoftk. Their unljf
talk wasmf oysteis. Every time one
of them began to nioih$fc dilati on the edibility
qf the popular it wojUld be
immediately noticed that the months
of his hearers were running water. ‘
.At last the eventful hour—of supper—
arrived, and the masons proceeded to
the table groaning with oysters. Tables
do not usually groan, but this table
must have been an exception. A rare
sight met the gaze of the masonic eye.
It reminded one of Che spectacle .that
the fatuous “six hundred at Bu-lakl&va”
saw. Insu a 1 of Caution the masons
saw “Oysters in front old helm, - oysters
to the right of them, oysters to th^left*
of them, but unshaken were the?’
masons. . Then they touched glares
(of milk), and fell to. it seemed that
each mason had brought his oyster
appetite’withiuni, for it was quickly
proved that the old saying that
“masons <16 dot have oysters” was a
base calumny. In fact, it is probable
that each one (mason not oyster) had
taken his appetite to the grindstone
and whetted it well before* coming to
the supper.
After the repast the masons went to
their lodge. They cordially invited
the public to be present to see their
riles performed. Only one person
(the writer of this article) accepted the
invitation.
Only one man applied for member¬
ship in the lodge. It took the masons
five hours to initiate him. The ftt»t
fttingjjto be done with a candidate is
10 look at his teeth to leain his age (a
la any horse trader). The second and
most trying ordeal is to submit to a
bsith. If this feature were introduced
among the colored masons it would
undoubtedly break v up the order. „ A
great many white men even think it is
“agin their constitution.”
The applicant next has to swear that
he will read this year’s almanac. This
event is known as the “almanac test.”
The last item on the programme is
entertaining. In it a goat figures large¬
ly. The goat possessed by the Craw
fotdviils lodge is an interesting person
age. Those who are intimately ac¬
quainted with him say that ho has
blood in his eye and feathers on his
teeth. A barber is regularly employed
to trim bis whisKers. It is confidently
asserted that he came over from Eng¬
land in the Mayflower. The one de¬
siring masonic degress has alternately
to ride and be butted by this goat.
This performance is required of him
(the person not the goat) in order that
he may toughen a certain part of his
anatomy so that he will be able to oc
cupy the seats that the masons have in
their lodges. Then, after each mason
had smoked the pipe of peace, and
vowed to stand by the Great Tycoon
through thick and thin, the meeting
adjourned.

No man wants his exact deserts.
Shoot folly before it gets a chance
to fly.
Every man is a failure at something.
He laughs best who laughs at the
right time.
What man has done the new woman
wants to do.
Opportunity ruins more reputations
than it makes.
Cupid never wastes a sharp arrow on
an old maid.
The older a woman gets the fewer
heroes she sees.
The road to poverty is easy to find
but hard to travel.
