The sun crossed the equator Saturday

not reach us up here until Monday, then
it had simmered down to a small pocket
edition of an equinoxial gale.
The African Methodist big meeting

There were only two applications from

We are assured by Judge Battle, one

YYHAT FOOLS we MORTALS HE!
The Schley county man who became in
fatuated with an Americus demimonde,
skipped out with her to Florida and
squandered the proceeds of this year's
cotton crop in following the paths which
Dayid says lead to eternal damnation
and advised Solomon to shun as he
would a fiery tongued serpent, awaken
ed last week to the error of his way and
returned Friday night to the home he
had wrecked and to the weeping wife
and sorrowing children, whom lie desert
ed, humiliated and alinobt crushed with
grief and shame, but they declined to
recieve him back into their love and
confidence. It was a terrible struggle
with the heart-crushed wife whose love
and confidence he had betrayed, but the
thought of recieving him back from
the poluting embrace of a vile abandon
ed wretch, was too much for her finer
sensibilities and sending his clothes Sat
urday morning she bade him go his way
and come no more. Thus for the smiles
of a Siren has this poor deluded man
cast away a comfortable home, family,
friends, social position and almost un
limited credit. To day he goes out into
the world, estranged from family and
friends, character blighted, credit blast
ed, property all under attachment, purse
depleted and the future dark and dreary.
Such is ever the fate of him who yields
to temptations of strong drink or heark
ens to the blandishment of harlots.
A BIG HOTEL.
Mr. C. L. Peacock has purchased the
lumber and given out the contract for a
big hotel. Mr. Douglas, the contractor,
will proceed at on eto DtSoto Mills and
frame the building, where the lumber
now is, so that it can be shipped to Ella
ville ready to put up.
The beautiful green square in front of
Dr. Smith’s residence, only one block
from the passenger depot, has been se
lected as the site. The building will
front on both streets, South and East.
A prettier or more desirable location
could not have been selected. These are
exactly the fronts that Northern visitors
most desire in a winter hotel, They
love to bask during cold days in the rays
of our Southern sun and this alone will
be quite an attraction for Northern in
valids. Mr. P. says he has planned fer
only twenty-two rooms to start with,
but is ready at any time to double the
capacity when the patronage will jus
tify it. Work will be pushed as rapidly
as possibly and he hopes to have it
ready fur opening by Christmas.
Mr. John Pilcher, who drives a pair of
the handsomest home-raised mules in
Georgia had a lively little runaway re
cently. He was passing the place of Mr.
Henry Harvey when his mules took
fright at some little negroes playing in
the road and dashed off at lightning
speed, the carriage tongue broke and
stuck in the ground, stopping it so sud
denly that Mr. Pilcher, wife and baby
were thrown out, the baby lodged on
the tongue in front of the carriage and
would probably have been killed but
fortunately something broke and the
mules tore loose and left the vehicle baby
and all. We are glad to learn that no
srieous injuries were sustained.
Schley county has an artistic genius in
the person of Mr. A. J. Walters. He
lives about three miles from town and is
a farmer hy occupation, but has an
irresistible hankering for artistic, work
and devotes his leisure moments to
crayon portrait drawing. Specimens of
his work shown us this week were good
and displayed a taste and touch that cul
v«':on would develop unto a first-class
artist.
During the heaviest of the rain storm
last Monday a funeral cortege passed
solemnly through our streets with the
remains of the eldest son of Mr William
B. Myrick of Sumter county. The young
man was about 17 years of age and was
formerly a resident of Schley county and
was being taken to the old family burial
ground at Hopewell church, for inter
ment.

The freight traffic over the Ellaville
and Buena Vista Extension seems to be
immense, long trains of freight cars pass
e verv day and so much time is taken
up in delivering way freights along the
line that for the freight, train to he on
schedule time is the exception not the
rule. This is an evidence of prosperity
that we are glad to see, If it is a little
oouveaiewt at times.

SCHLEY COUNTY FOR GRAPE GROWING
An old Frenchman wdio has traveled
over Schley and Marion counties plant
ing and pruning vineyards for the past
fifteen years, says this section is much
better for grape growing than the far
fame vine lands of France. He says the
grapes will grow as well here as in any
part of the world, the flavor is better for
table use, and the wine can be made as
good as the best, and we do not meet
with as many drawbacks here as in
France. Around Tallahassee, Fla. are
some old wornout hillsides similar to
to those found in Schley county.
A few years ago Emile Dubois, a
Frenchman, came over and bought some
of the worst wornout hill sides to be
fonml > S etti "K il ver Y uheap. He planted
in 8 r; 'l >es of various varieties, to-day he
is rea P in 8 a fortune from the sale of his
n ra P es and wines - He realized, if we
uiistake not, two thousand dollars on liis
tllird y«* ars cro P and d has steadily en
oreased every year since. His n ine has
£ a ' nir “d a reputation and is so much
sought for in New York that he cannot
fill the demand. Other Frenchmen hear
ln S °f success came overbought old
8 ’ de and planted vineyards,
until around Tallahassee is rapidly be
coining one vast vineyard, and hundreds
of people, visiting the old capitol cit}’,
drive out to look at them.
Judging from our observation while
driving out a few days since and from
wiiat this old Frenchman tells us. we
believe Schley county is better adpated
to grape culture than the Tallahassee
country. Along the road bet ween Ella
ville and Murray’s Cross Roads the fence
coi ners, waste places and every little
skirt of woods art now teeming with
wild grapes, many of them are very
sweet and juicy. We could have gath
ered busliles of thorn in a very short
time, and did gather all we could ea t
without leaving the road ten feet, They
jr row game way all over the county,
w< * are ^ 0 ld. Mr. Dubois says that the
fetter varieties can be profitably grown
wherever the wild varieties flourish
This lieing the case, the old washed off
pjpgides in the norther portion of Schley
CO(in ty can be made more profitable as
yj n eyards than they ever were as cotton
fields. To make them so, one would
have to study grape culture or hire an ex
perienced man in that line and plant the
varieties of grap. s that makes the ^
wines or the best varieties for table use.
or both according to the demand and
facilities foi disposing of them. We
believe grape culture would pay here
better than any crop grown and would
like to see it given a fair trial, the expe
riipent might be made on a small nciile
