A Summer Girl. She wears a saucy hat, \ml her feet v<> pit-a-pat As she walks; When she talks. She fueinates the street With her gaiters trim and neat, Made of kid; they Vor thev twinkle as pass I ike the rillets in the grass Hallway hid. Her skin is soft and white, Jiilvt* nuupioifci buds at night On the bough; too fair . But fur fear she’d lie There’s a freckle here and there On her brow. Dimples play at hide and seek On her up pie-blossom cheek And her chin, Slyly beckoning to you; “Don’t you think it s tune to woo? Pray begin.” Then her winsome, witching eyes flash like hits of summer skies O’er her fan, as if to say: “We’ve met; You may go now and forget If you cun.” —By S. M. Peck. Crops throughout this section are re ported good. This is fine weather for planting potato vines and farmers are making good use of it. Four babies were born last night in one neighborhood, on Buck creek, in this county. Hon. A. C. Murray left Monday for At lanta; to represent Schley in tlie Georgia Legislature, which met Tuesday. Ellaville is almost as large as the city of New York. All we lack of being a great city' is more houses and people. IFater melons are begining to come in plentifully and are getting almost in printers reach.

Rev. G. G. Stansburv of Spalding Ga., preached in the Baptist church here on Sunday night. The sermon was well re ceived and very much appreciated by all who heard it. Peaches as large as an ordinary tea cup and as juicy asa Florida orange were presented to the News this week by Judge C. L. Battle, who has a fine fruit orchard in the western suburbs. In order to look stylish and nice, it is not at all necessary for the ladies of El laville and Schley county to send off for their millinery. Mrs. Allen can fit them establishment. up as stylish and cheap as any millinery Read her advertisements. It- begins to look like bussifiess when we see from four to six trains a day pass our town and all the freight engines pulling from eighteen to twenty freight cars. This has been the case ever since the line was completed through to Columbus. Ellaville should he proud of her Sun day School. It has been pronounced by good authority to be as well organized as any in this whole belt from Columbus to Savannah. We attribute a large amount of the success to our superintendent, Dr. Smith. Miss Maggie Gilbert, of this place, was married last Thursday evening to Mr. Dixon. of Dooly county. The marriage took place at the residence of Rev. W. \V. Tidwell, the home of the bride, Mr. Tidwell officiating. No cards. Something has been said lately about an artesian well for Ellaville. We learn that about $1,800.00 can easily be raised by private donations by citizens of the town. With this artesian well we see no reason why our town should not become one of the heath resorts of Georgia. A party of our-local Sportsmen visit ed the wheat-fields of Mr. Dupree Pea cock, Monday afternoon. They found very few birds and brought 17 doves only. One of tlie Col’s, beat the crowd and he is sohappy' over it 1 hat we give the first letter of his name—it is Charles R. McCrory. Protracted Srvicfs will commence at the Methodith church on next Sunday night. Services will be held only at night during tlie next week. The pastor is expecting ministerial aid after next week. Rev. J. B. K. Smith, of Columbus will be here on Sunday 14th, inst., and will remain several days and assist in t. e meeting. Let all go to these meet ings. Twenty bushel to the acre of good sol id wheat was harvested this year by Mr. A. C. Murray' on his old field near town. Thus is not a baci show by’ any' means While three time that much is sometimes gathered from the rich prairie lands of the North West. We know some of the most successfuli farmers of that section who tire satisfied with an average yield of fifteen bushels to the acre. The Macon Telegraph got names rath er mixed in its report of the Ellaville High School exercises. The cloud of dis. appointment that overshadowed the brow of some of the fair ones, when they saw the credit intended for them given, by a typographical error, to some un known name, was painful to behold, but such is life! A kitten with a perfect letter II mark ed in it face by its hair being white, was horn on Mr. Robert Alien place two miles from Ellaville. on the day of Harrison in f ration . It U rather singular coin cil enw lmt ;ls lh( . k j U en is democratic I I j n 8el1 timent and seems somewhat ashm ed of its peculiar mark, vve presume that Harrison,s inaugevation on the day of its birth had nothing to do with tlie marking. A basin covering about five acres of I land on Mr. Adams’ place ditched near town, that , once held water hut was a few j I years ago is proving a regular bonanza for old Billup, Ellaviile’s colored inan-of j all-work. It has grown up in a kind of | prairie grass that makes excellent hay, j ‘ aiu nishing l Billup all the cuts keepers it on halves of and and is hois- fur cows es iu ro wn. He says it is better than a ^ p 0 ui mine because* it isn’t so hard to work. I * The school at Kbenezer, about four 1 miles from town closed with interesting exercisses last Friday week. The atten dance was large and the patrons express much pleasure at the results. They men tion the teacher. Miss Emmie Hornady. in very complimentarv terms and showed tlieil . ffi.rh appreciation of her manage , n ent paying up promptly spend vacation Miss Hornady left last week to with her father Rev. Dr. Horuady, of Atlanta. --- One of tlie most gratifying, ns well n, common. pitching si s l„ our 8 thnt tent we in have Schley wtt^,. County is the fat and sleek horses and mules well kept vehicles and wagon-loads or «**• ............ i,a, r in b X the larmers of this county . This looks like solid prosperity—a solid prosperity' that no inflated speculative newspaper boom can ever reach. Joe, pointer dog belonging to the , a family of Kev. Mr. Flanders is a faithful servant and comes as near earning his victuals and clothes ns any servant in town. Besides being a first rate bird dog, ever ready for field sport, and a good night watchman, he performs the ser vices of nursery maid and market boy with apparent en joyment. He rolls the baby out in it’s caringe for airing morning and afternoon, hauls up the packages from the stores and market, minds the chtek - ons and pigs, pulls the garden plow and would willingly do the hoeing if he could hold the hoe-luindle. Joe deserves a monument when he dies, The heavy rains of Uds week washed op portions of the new railroad and cut us out of mail and express for a few days. hundreds Copies of the News are sent out to that are not subscribers; read it and it you like it and think it ought to be sustained, send us a dollar and recieve it for a year. Read the card of Dr. W. H. Harp a live progressive young physician who of fers his professional services to the peo gle of Schley county, and is not deterred by distance nor darkness when called on. Big preparations are being made by the County Line Sunday School for a picnic and barbecue on the first Saturday in August, we accept with pleasure the in vitation to be present. Sumpter By their proclamation, published in the Republican, it will be seen that our county officials have designated the Schley County News as the offiieial or gan of Schley county. Those interested will govern themselves accordingly. tW'All Subsciptions must be paid in ad vance. We put the price down to only one dollar, the actual cost of blank paper and postage, in order to get a large cir culation and make a profit on advertise meats, but as we pay ca«h in advance for paper and postage we must demand the same of our Subscribers, no matter how good their credit may be. A chicken eating dog is creating a fu rore in the colored quarteres across the railroad. It scooped in five for our col ored barber, George Davis and made sim ilar raids on his neighbors. It sneaks up in broad daylight, picks up a hen and trots off to the woods, a la reynard. All efforts to kill the intruder has thus for failed, Little Preston, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Mccrory, fell from a tree Tuesday wound p. m. and received a dangerous in the head. Dr. Smith had to put the littlesufferrerunder the influence of chloriform to examine and dfess the wound. We notice that the chestnut tree, is u herefor almost everything. It furnished mi fsfor the bovs, rails for the farmer’s, post for the gardeners, mallets for the car penters, helves for the choppers, and fire wood for mauy. Next to the pine it is used more than any other tree in the county, such whole sale consumption, it seems would soon exterminate it. The completion of the Buena Vista ex tension to Columbus places Ellaville on a main line and besides largely increasing our railroad facilities the connection on each side with such progressive and grow ing cities as Columbus and Americus, gives us the advantage of their compeli t ion for our trade and opens up a ready market for all we can produce*, from a hen egg to a bale of cotton.. With increased advantage Schley and Marion counties are bound to flourish like a green bay tree. Onlv a few weeks ago, during the month of June, Judge Battle ran furrows through his stubble-fiehl from which he had cut oats, sowed with cotton seed. run a furrow on each side, and afterward burst out tlie middles, For awhile it presented about as slim a show’ for cot ton as General Gordon’s Key HVst rail road scheme did for reaching tlie City lately in the Gulf, but it has taken a start and almost caught up with cotton plant- fair ed in April. The prospects are now for nearly a bale to the acre. One cannot grow* tropical fruits here, but Mr. Thomas J. Murphy has a fruit or chard on his model farm north of town that would turn a South Florida Yankee green with envy. Plums and cherries as large as pullet eggs, peaches that would not go into a tea cup and in varieties that ripen from May to October. Apples, figs, pears, and other fruits to match, We saw a basket of fruit from his orchard recently that in quality section^ jMid variety would do credit (o any cr any climate, There are many other orchards near here just like it.

Mr. Charles Marshall our depot agent visited his relatives in Bronwood the first of last week. The young people are especially de lighted to have Misses Mary Chapman and Mittie Castleberry of Cusseta, spend some time in our town. They are the guests of Mrs. W. II. McCrory. Drst.

These men appreciate the importance of Schley county’s husfie patronage, and are going to for it. Look out for their adver tisement soon. Not a Summer Plant. The News starts out with a bran new office building, new press, new material and everything as bright as anew silver dollar, and best of all, it all belongs to the News, and no rent to pay. Two thous and dollars, or more, of its proprietor’s money' has been invested in Schley coun ty', some of it in tlie soil, before tlie people of the county are called on to pay one sin gle cent for subseri tion, or otherwise, and now they are only asked to pay one dollar a year for subscription, simply the cost of blank paper and postage. H e have bought a residence lot, and in addi tion to our office building, for which we paid spot cash, propose erecting a res idence, just as soon as our finances will admit, and uni make tins our permanent home. This is private business matters, and should have found no place here, but \\ l sun pi \ mention it to rel.exe .. i; . the .i , ap prehension of a fevv of our country friends, who, from reading a little item in one of our adjacent contemporaries. drew tlie conclusion that the News would I>e merely a summer off shoot from the Tallahassean. and that its editor would gather Ids family as soon as the wintry blasts com-* and hie away to the “Land of Flowers.” It is true that we are bound to Florida by many ties of kindly feeling and affection as well ashy business. For seventeen wars we added our mite to her progress and dcvelopeinent. We pulled tlie ranks of the little hand of patriots who struggled for years to free her from the misrule and oppressions of carpet bag and negro supremacy, we saw that power of official corruption overthrown arid the reins of government placed in the bauds of honest and competent otfi cials. From a condition of decay and dilapidation we have watched her bloom into one of the loveliest and most plo g re ssive states in the Union. It was amori g her flowers that vve wooed and wed. It was within her capital our chil ,jren were born. There, was made the numf .y that enabled us to build and oquip'pe the office of the Schley COUNTY New * and there, lives many of our warmrtst friends. Of cosrse, we feel at Rich’*., to Florida, and will go hack there j UiJt a8 often as We can afford it, but for reasons, well known to our friends in both states have come back to Georgia to n ‘ si<, '‘ permanently.
