The S. – W. pay train passed through Saturday and paid off their employees. The friends of Mrs. Thomas Fulford will be pleased to learn that she is recov ering. A sweet little baby girl arrived last Thursday to delight the home of Mr. H C. Wall. We are glad to learn that the injury to cotton by Monday’s storm was slight in this section. «* Mr. Homer Burton has opened a con fectionery and fancy grocery store, next to Peacock – Arrington. Hickory nuts are ripening and the woods are full of them. It makes us al most wish to be a boy again. Major E. S. Baldwin has bought the house and lot formerly owned by Con ductor Chipley. Another little Stranger arrived Tues day night to bless the home of Mr. R. T. Strange. It is a girl. A wagon load of cotton rolled in Sat urday from Fort Perry, Marion county, way up above Buena Vista. Dr Harp’s three little toddlers who have been visiting their grand mother Mrs. Wooldridge, of Columbus, return to-night, Ten cases were returned Tuesday for the next term of the Superior Court, which opens on the second Monday in next month. Cotton has come in slowly this week. We presume our farmers are waiting for October to come in when the tare will be allowed. Messis. E. J. Hart and Pat Smith kill ed a Moccasin snake, a few days since in the Ebeneezer neighborhood, that meas ured five feet six inches in length and ten inches in circumference. Mr. C. L. Peacock arrived Friday, ac companied by Master Harry and Misses Jessie and Julia. Mrs. Peaeock and the three smaller children stopped with her father, Mr. Arrington, near Americus. The negro baby whose head was crush ed with a stone, on Mr. Tison’s planta tion did not die as was expected, it is getting along finely under Dr. Smith's treatment and will recover. Don't imagine that Mr. H. L. Lindsey has been nominated for Congress, or made an heir to the Vanderbilt estate because he smiles so blandly and steps so high; its only a little girl at his house. The sun crossed the equator Saturday and stirred up a lively breeze in swing ing its legs over the equator line. It did 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 was in full blast Sunday and Americus poured out her colored population into Ellaville for the day. They seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, but were quiet and orderly. There were only two applications from Schley for the scholarship in the Georgia State School of Technology. One of them, Mr. Zack Cunningham, withdrew and left the other, Mr. Ed Cheney, the only candidate. So we presume the lat ter will get the scholarship. We are assured by Judge Battle, one of our local capitalists, that Ellaville will have a bank in operation by the first of January. This is good news for our little city. A bank is much needed here and will add much to our local pros perity. We are glad to learn that the steps to School building has been repai *d Iwnirtered and *re now sate. Two little boys fell down there last week and were ) ( R<lly hurt, but such accidents wil ‘ h ard 'j y occur affa j n . A. A M. chicken Hornes kilted place *»£<«d£«n“r. w on Mr have a brass pin Stuck through l s giz yar( j die bird was fat and seemed to be ^ Wealthy as any chicken but it must have suffered incessantly 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. Our sudscription list steadily increases. We have been too busy this week to go out and solicit subscribers and h;,ve had no agents out, but tin* following new subscribers have swelled our list L. A.

Ala., where he will make his future home. 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 “ss'sts no doubt , , pay , l*«. Arrangements have been made with an artesian well borer and Mr. Peacock to have , artesian , well expects soon an Spurting its crystal waters on his hotel lot in t lie center of Ellaville. If it does not flow of its own accord, he proposes putting a wind mill to force the water over the new hotel and elsewhere as needed. Every thing good to eat, at 12 tf Caskey – Green’s.
