Considerable Lok».
Dr. R. C. Biiins. of this place, had the
misfortune to lose his watch and consid¬
erable money one day last week. It is
supposed that some one slipped into the
doctors room at night and took the valua
bles therefrom.
Hea.l Hatlly Cut.
The little girl of Mr. anil Mrs. A. J.
Melton fell Sunday in Augusta and cut
a considerable gash in her head. A phy¬
sician was called in and the wound sew¬
ed up and when hoard from last the lit¬
tle sufferer was doing very well.
A Fine Showing.
The attendance at the Stephens High
School is larger than it lias been in years.
To see the little ones svyirming from the
building puts us in mind of the schools
of the larger cities. The people of this
place should be prond of the school as it
is first-class in evarv respect.
A N ioe Cycle. >
A railroad cycle, a 4-cycle, or some¬
thing to ride on the railroad track creat¬
ed considerable interest at the depot
Saturday. It was made like] a double
seated bicycle and had four flanged
wheels that run 011 the rails like a hand
car. It only weighed 60 pounds.
House and Horae Burned.
The crib and stable of Mr. Sam Per¬
kins, of this county, were burned last
Saturday might. In his crib be had all
his corn, fodder and stock feed and in
his stable was the only horse that Sam
owned, and all were consumed, It was
a heavy loss for him and it is hoped the
parties who are soliciting aid for him
will meet with much succest. The Ori¬
gin of the fire is not known.
Thought It Too Shallow.
A Northern man passiug through here
a few days ago said that he was suppris¬
ed to find that our people cultivated
their lands with one-horse plows and
break the lands so shallow. He said
“wily the land should be thoroughly
broken to 8 or to inches deep.” The
Southern lands do not need, nor will
they stand, as deep breaking as those of
the North. Northerners have come
down here and tried that deep plowing
plan but they found that it would take
severald years for the soil to work back
to the top again,
One Convention.
The State Democratic Ex. Committee
met in Atlanta Saturday and set at rest
the wrangle over the one or two conven¬
tions for the state. The Committee de¬
cided by a vote of 22 to 11 to hold one
convention at Macon, on June 25th to
select delegates to the national conven¬
tion, select presidential electors, nomi¬
nate state house officers and transact all
such business at one time. Primaries
were ordered to tie held 011 June 6th in
each county to select delegates to the
Macon Convention. This result shows a
decided victory for the free coinage
people of the state.
It I>ld Not Come.
Tlie 6th day of March lias come and
gone and the much looked for end of
the world did not come, as was predict¬
ed and hilly expected by some of the
colored people. Early that morning Mr.
Seab Jones arose and thought he would
try a few “notes’’ on his bugle. He be¬
gan to “toot” away on the big tin horn
and tlie sound rang out through the
) leaV y Ramp air. The first notes startled
some of our expecting citizens and cau»
ed them to rush out and investigate if
'hat was reaI r ’ a,jr ' el - Much satisfaction
and relief came over them when they
found that it was only a bugle note in
earthly hands. Many thoughts ran
back to the chicken roosts and water¬
melon patches.
Tri*«l to Rob tho Store.
There was a nice plan laid last Satur¬
day night to rob Holden &Co’s store at
this place, When night came on and the
preparations for closing the store was
being made, Grier Lyle was discovered
: a way in tlie grocery department of
the store. He was snugly crouched be
bind some sacks of flour quietly await
ing tlie closing of the store, lie was
arrested and upon being questioned, he
said that Lincoln Peek offered him five
dollars to conceal himself in the store
and open up the ■window to Peek
when he was to knock on the window
late in the mg ht. It seems that it was
a well arranged plan to take possession
of all they could carry off from the store
night , mt lh eir plan faile.1. They
succeeded in making a *25.00 bond each
and are now out of jail,
Getting Ip a Show.
The young men of our town have
decided to get up a minstral show for
t he benefit of the Presbyterian church
bnilding. Arrangement* are being
made to present the entertainment
some time in April. We have some
good artists in be rut cork aud this
affair will be rich.'
“IN THE INTEREST OF ALL THE PEOPLE.”
CRRAWFORDVILLE, GA., MARCH 13, 1896.
—Dr. W. E, Adams, of Graen esbo
r0> was j n town last week on profess
ional business.
—A Methodist parsonage in
Crawfordville would not only lie a
great benefit to that denomination
but slso to the town as their is no
parsonage here at present,

stock of Medicines at cost and if you
want bargains callon him.
—Mr. A. P. Peek of this city has
a pocket book which belonged to
one of his ancestors L. R. Peek, in
1621; the name and date are written

medicines asyou might need in the
future at the price Dr. Reid is selling
now.
—The friends of Prof. Frank
Little will be glad to know that he
is well pleased with his excellent
posistion as superintendent of the
public schools at Darien, Ga., one
of o ttr progressive sea-coast cities.
—Uncle Seab Jones, one ofTalinfer
ro county’s cleverest called on ns yes¬
terday and gave us substantial
agement
—The type house from which we
ordered ottr new type surely had
them to make before they shipped
them; but they have been on the
road over a week to-day and we
hope to not have to beg exctfSe
from our readers any longer. The
good book says all things come to
him who waits,
Ktt|>ubli<‘!Uii* Meet.
The republicans of this county held
a meeting at the court bouse here Sat¬
urday last, out tho meeting was some¬
what small and very little is known
oi what they did, ns tlvay were very
quiet abont it. Suppose they endors¬
ed MeKinley as be seems to have the

Proper Terracing Fays.
We heard it stated a few days ago
from a farmer in our section that if he
should find a man on his premises, terrac¬
ing Iris lands that he would order him off
the land at once. This seems a queer
idea, ft is likely that this farmer had
had some of his lands improperly terrac¬
ed. If that be the case, we do not blame
him for denouncing the .practice; but on
the other hand, if he lias not seen the
results of proper terracing, he should at
once investigate some lands that were
scientifically terraced. There is no
doubt in the world but that proper terrac¬
ing of lands will save much labor, manure
and lands. No farmer should allow his
lands to wash away and go to ruin when
pine brush, trash and a few furrows in
the proper place would save them.
Walked Nix Miles.
Elder W.M. Davis of While Plains,
pastor the Biptist Church at William’s
Creek, filled bis regular appointment
there last Saturday and Sunday and

lem brotheren at Barnett • Monday

tion with a good brother the on¬
ly train for While Plains during
twenty four hours passed, and he was
left behind. He took the matter
very quietly and decided to walk a*
far as Crawfordville, six miles distant
Though well advanced in years
stood the trip finely, and that night
preached with “power and demon
stration of the Sj/irit” much to the
edification and delight of those who
had the good fortune to be present at
the Baptist church.
