Mr J. J. Granherry is one of the old
land marks of Americas; he lias been
there ever since the place was a little
crossroads village and it seems that he is
destined to remain there and see it de
velop into one of the most flourishing
cities of the South. See what lie has to

Cold weather is approaching hot stoves
will soon be a necessity and whereto get
the best stove h r the least money is get
ting to be a very important question.
This question is answered by H. F, Ev

our advertising columns. He keeps on
hand a large stock of stoves and is agent
for the Southern Cane Mills and Evap
orators.

Nothing is more true than the follow
ing from the Atlanta Constitution:—
* • Whenever you find a colored man hard
at work and contented, you will find a
friend of peace and order and one earn
est for harmony between the races.
Whenever you find a negro who dees
not work: but stand around with a big
stick under his arm and a cheap cigar in
his mouth, you find a firebrand that
seeks to kindle the flames of any strife,
fer it is only in strife and storm that he
can prosper.” And the same is true of
the same class of white men. only the
tougn element of each race desire strife.

We hear frequent complaints from
farmers in this county against the engin
eers on the S. – \V. R. R. dashing past
the crossings without giving the requir
ed signals. It seems that some of them
blow regularly and give ample time for
drivers to stop their teams or drive by,
while others neglect to blow until al
most on the crossing and frequently rush
by without blowing at all, We have not
learned which trains the complaint is
against. Those i nterested ought to take
notice of this, not blame every engineer
on the road, but be sure to spot the neg
ligent party an l report him to the prop
er authorities and we feel sure that the
nuisance will be abated.
Rev. D. J. Apportion made us a pleas
ant call Monday morning. He says the
Free Will Baptist Association held the
3rd. 4th. 5tli. and 6th, inst. tit Reynolds
in Taylor county was a success in even
respect. The attendance was large and
a good old soul-warning lime was en
joyed by all. The hospitable people in
the neighborhood were on band with
heavy loaded baskets, filled with every
thing good and palatable. Not only din
ner, hut supper as well, was served on
the grounds,the multitude wasted and
made happy. The introductory sermon
was preached by Mr. Apperson, himseL'
who also presided as moderator
and the 11 o’clock sermon was delivered
by Rev Mr. Duffel. Thursday lief ore the
first Sunday in October 1890 was select
ed for the next association, and it will
be held at Columbus.
FIRST EDITORIAL EXPERIENCE.
Peeing the name of our young friend
Robert H. McCormick, hanging out as
Business Manager of the American Com
mercial Traveler, of Chicago, Ill., re
minds . . us of , a bit of .... Ins early . * newspaper
experience that we can afford to tell on
him now.
During 1885 and’86 we had him em
ployed as book-teeper on the Tallahassee
Fla. Tallahasaean, of which we were then
proprietor. Finding him a first-rate
book-keeper and pretty bright fellow gen
erally we put him temporarily in charge
of the paper as editor and went off North
to be absent for a few weeks. The firs*
week’s issue was very creditable to a ,lt ‘ vv
beginner and we felt pleased e'good; v*th the it; j
r.ext week it was not nearly
third week it did not re-°- u us ant * we
recieved a telega* 1 saying: “Come
home at once J mr foreman is dead,
McCori''-' k. has turned over the edito
,..w work to the devil and the paper is
going to the bow-wows,” or a message to
that effect.
“What is the matter Bob?” we inquir
ed of him when we got back and found
him sitting serenely at the book-keeper’s
desk* and the paper at a stand still.
“You must really pardon me.” he ex
claimed, “and you can dock my salary
for the damages. I didn’t imagine for
a moment that it was such a big job to
edit a newspaper. I got on swimmingly
the first week and moderately well the
second but 1 had written out completely
and to save me from perdition I couldn’t
think of a thing to write the third week.”
GOT I1IS EYES OPEN.
“Vat for you doiqtAbrade rnit me an
mine brotter any more, eh!” querried a
Columbus merchant the other day. ad
dressing a well dressed negro, driving a
fine pair of mules.
“How long did I trade wid you and
yo' brudder?” asked the negro solemnly.
‘Apoot den years. unt we sell you der
sclieapest goots in down.”
“Y; ss. an I git poorer all dem
ten years:”
“Veil, dot vas your fault, not mine.”
“Waal, it put me an mi sun Tom to
thinking an berfo God I couldn’t recoin
member eber seein a rich white man in

“Veil, me unt my blotter ish der
poor man’s frent unt we don't peheve in
atverdisemenits in der noozebabers.
Mine brotter habits der atverdisemendts

“Dat's what I tell mi sun Torn, but he
say ‘Look a here daddy I’se bin ter skool

You neber see no buddy git erlong well
