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 erett, the Stove Man, of Columbus, in our advertising columns. He keeps on hand a large stock of stoves and is agent for the Southern Cane Mills and Evap orators. Steadily the subscription list of the News goes upward: The following names were added this week: Henry Stewart, J. M. Varner, W. J. Bowlantl, Calvin Carter, H. F. Everette, Chancel lor – Pearce, W.

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 yo stoar and Tom say he neber read yo name in der Kurlumbus nuzepapers.” “Veil, me unt my blotter ish der poor man’s frent unt we don't peheve in atverdisemenits in der noozebabers.
