SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
The cheerful, festive and voracious
caterpillar has put in his appearance in
the cotton fields of Mr. Rooert Burton,
near town. He is an unw-Icome guest
but he walks in and goes to eating all
the same.
The city council passed an audience
Monday night prohibiting yearling calves
from running at large on the streets.
The Marshal has been ordered to take up
and empound all cattle, except sucking

Mr Frank, Hudson began work Mon
day on the new residence of Mr Harry L.
Lendsay. The plan is L. shaped with
six rooms, piazas front and rear side,
closets hall etc. When completed it will
be quite a creditable addition to oui litle
city.
Johnson Hobbs, who was killed last
Sunday at St. cloud in ’ Lake county
Florida, bv a negro, was for a long time
a resident of Schley county and his many
friends and relatives still residing here
learn with deep regret the news of
his untimely death.
Mr. Frederick Stewart, who returned
recently from Texas, broken in health,
died last Thursday, at the residence of
his father, Mr. Bennett Stewart, in this
county. The deceased was about thirty
years of age and unmarried. He leaves
a host of friends and relatives in this
county.
This is a funny old world and hope
is the biggest thing in it. Just think of
four old bachelors and a widower, all
wreathed in smiles and bouyed up with
bright anticipations of the arrival soon,
of just one little brighteyed maid. Four,
at least, are sure to bo left, but hope
keeps them all happy.
The administrators sale of real estate
was slimly attended Tuesday, owing,
we presume, to the dull season of the
year and cash terms of the sale. Mr.
E, J. Hart bid in the plantation of the
late Mrs. Mary L. Hart at, one thousand
eight hundred and one dollars. The
property is cheap at that price.
Unless the people go to canning and
drying the peaches and a pies there will j
be hundreds of dollars worth of most ex
cellent fruit go to waste in this county,
There is nothing more palitable or
healthy than dried fruit and much of
the present crop could be saved in that
way by a little effort.
Economy is wealth, and the best way |
in the world to economise, is to buy your
groceries where you can get them
cheapest. J. B. W illiamson makes a
spcsalty of staple and fancy groceries
and will not be under-sold by anyone.
Read his big ad on onr first page aud
call on him.
The attention of the people of Schley
county is called to the card of Roilin
Jefferson of Columbus, on our 8th page.
He invites you to call in and see him
*
wlien in th e city, and guarantees to sell
you the best grades of finer, fish, tobac
co pluntation supplies, at bottom prices.
He cl , ll8specia l attention of ginners, to

one to two cents on each pound iu value.
Scott Askew, the festive little darkey
who. without the fear of God before him |
and in violation of the law in such cases
provided and with malice aforethought,
did maliciously and feloniously monkey
with his neighbors chickens and water
melons, and depart this bailcaiok and
was brought back last week by marshal
Myers, in letters; has oeen released un

Blanchard Humber – Co one of the
largest warehouse and commission firms
of Columbus, appreciates the value and
imponaiH-e of Schley county's patronage
and conies out in a flaming advertisment
on our eighth page soliciting it. They
offer liberal advances on consignments,

One of our merchants threw a water

the town is alive with'em; the stre« ts is

innocence Abroad
One of the excursionist from the ru
ral districts of Schley chanced to stop
while in Birmingham, at a hotel lighted
by electricity. Getting ready to retire he
stepped to the incondescent burner that
lighted it his room and gave it a blow; but
didn't go out. Straightening himself
he gave a stronger blow, still the light
didn.t extinguish. Eyeing the thing
suspiciously, and swelling himself up
like a toad, filling his lungs to their ut
most capacity, our rural friend gave an
other long, desperate, determined blow
and thinking that such a cyclone as he
had raised would almost blow out the
lamp of life it self be jumped in bed
but the little bit of crooked wire
blazed and dazzled on just as before.
“Well, 1,11 be dolswoshed,” exclaimed
our surprised country cousin, “Porter!
porter! come and blow out this lamp, I’ll
be doggone if lean do it, and I believe
the dasted thing is fixin to explode! ”
The Alliance men of Schley county wil
find iu the advertisement of Carter –
Bradly cotton factors and commission
merchants of Columbus a sentiment
that touches a responsive chord in the
heart of every true friend to the South
ern cotton planter. This enterprising
firm, to aid the farmers in their fight
against trusts and combines, make a spe
cialty of bagging made of cotton. Mr.
Charles II. Allen still represents them on
the streets of Columbus, and will be pleas
ed to meet his old friends and make new
ones when they visit that city. R<ad ad.
on eighth page.
It strikes us that the ordinance passed
by the city council Monday night, im
poses arduous and dificult duties upon
our worthy and efficient city marshal.
He seems to be an officer who is ever
ready to respond to the call of duty, and
if necessary, fight, bleed and die for the
upbuilding of the majesty of the law;
but “Yearling,” is a very indefinite term,
and just imagine our gallant and digni
fied defender of the peace, rushing
around, pell mell, catching half grown
cows, throwing them flat of their backs,
opening their mouths and examining
their upper front teeth to determine if
they are sucking calves or “yearlings.”
An old campaign fued between two
prominent citizens came near resulting
seriously last Monday As a reconcilia
tion seems improbable it is hoped by the
numerous friends of the two gentlemen
that the matter will be dropped and nev
er talked of again. No possible good can
come from a discussion of it, and much
unpleasantness and many heart-aches
may be avoided l>y ignoring it altogether
in the future.
