If von want pat-nt medicines at actual cost goto Dr. II- J- 1 ’u 1 - 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, Dr. It. J. Reid is seliing out, his 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 011 the flap of the book.—Herald Journal. It would pay you to buy stu b 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.

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 on Sunday night preached for the Sa¬ lem brotheren at Barnett • Monday morning, while engaged in conversa¬ 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. There are fourteen gold mines in active operation on tin: line between McDuffie and Wilk'-s county. The most extensive and-profitable of t!» is owned and op crated by Mrn.J, Bell nap Smith, who em. ployes ta-tween forty and fifty iiands and who personally tmpervi every '.b tai! of the bi*sinc&£.—llfciaki Journal.
