Three Georgians recieved patents the
past week. T H. Tabor of Ellijav, for
a seed planter; Julian M. Storey of Au

steads and T. L. Norman, of West Point,
for a barrell.
We welcome to our exchange list 1 the
Pulaski Recorder, a six column quarto,
published at Cochran, by Mr. W. F. Kel

Pulaski county and they all seem to be

The Southern Girls, is the name of a
bright and spicy little paper recently
started at Swainesboro, by Miss Annie
Lee Perkins and devoted to the girls of
the South. It is as neat as a pin and
merits success. Send for sample copy.
Mr. Tison, who bought out the press
and material of the late Schley County
Enterprise and moved it to Cordele and
afterwards moved to Rochelle is contem
plating another move, we understand,
and has selected Richland as his next
point to locate.
A Chicago paper says the danger line
is past as regards the corn crop. Not at
all. The danger line will only be reach
ed when the corn is manufactured into
whiskey.—Ellijav Courier.—Mistaken
you are too, Bro! The danger line is nev
er reached until the whiskey is guzzled.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Florida have started an official
organ at Orange City, called The Tele
phone. It is a well gotten up four col
umn quarto, ably edited by Mrs. E. A.
Hill and Mrs. E. S. Thorpe. Subscrip
tion price 50cts a year, published
monthly.
While we regret the illness that ab
sented our worthy States Solicitor Gen
eral C. B. Hudson from court last week
we admit that the State’s interest was
not allowed to suffer by his absence,
His son and representative Joe B. Hud
son, Esq., very ably filled the position
and convicted every violator brought
before him.
A public road ought to cross, a railroad
just as seldom as jwjssible. A little
straightening of the road to Americus
would avoid the railroad altogether
whereas it now crosses the track four or
five times. Some places twice within
less than a mile. It would be a big job
to change the road, but we believe that
the trouble and expense would be over
balanced by the advantages gained in
the avoidance of the dangers and un
pleasantness of such crossings. It is
worth the consideration of our county
com m issi oners at any rate.
Friend Callaway seems to have gotten
slightly mixed up while here last week.
He mentions in his article to the Macon
Telegraph the Grantham railroad acci
dent as occurring in the suburbs of Ella
ville and the arrest of engineer Baldwin
as the result of a lingering sensitiveness
on the part of the Ellaville community
over the sad railroad accident of last
year, and one would infer from his arti
cle that the true bill was found by the
grand jury alter the arrest of the engin
ocr. So far as the people of Schley are
concerned this little discrepancy doesn’t
matter, but as friend Callaway is a good
s°rt of a fellow and always tries to %e
correct, and generally is correct, we will
state for Ins information that the acci
dent ocurred three miles from town and
yet he missed the real fact farther on w
ether two items than he missed the *>■
burbs. The balance of the account of
Lie affair was correct.
A GALLANT SOLDIER GONE.
Ex-Gjvtmr Edward A. Perry of Flori
da, died last week at Kerrville, Texas,
where he had gone hoping to improve
his health, wnich has been failing ever
since and a short time before, his retire
ment from the executive office.
Govenor Perry was a northern man by
birth, but locating in Florida a short
time previous to the war, he married a
most excellent Southern lady and es
poused the cause of the Southern Con
federacy. He was among the first to
raise a company and march to the front
when the tocsin of war was sounded.
Rapidly he rose to the command of a
brigade and ltd the Floridians in many
of the hardest fought battles of the late
war. His patriotic devotion and gallant
defense of the home of his adoption was
witnessed and will be remembered by
many Georgians who fought side by side
with the Florida troops. To bis bereav
ed family we tender our sincere sym
pathies.
MAKES COWARDS AND BULLIES.
The habit of carrying concealed weap
ons is one of the most pernicious that
ever cursed a civilized community, and
we were glad to see Judge Smith so
zealous in his efforts to suppress it. Just
think of a man going around among his
friends and associates, in an enlightened
Christian land with a loaded pistol in his
pocket, ready upon the slightest provoca
tion, to whip it out and shoot some i ody.
With a loaded pistol in his pocket no
man can carry the proper fellow feeling
and a true noble impulse in his heart.
Take the best boy in the community,
arm him with a pistol or other deadly
weapon let him become a habitual carrier
of such weapons and lie wi 1 sooner or
later develop into a consurnate coward,
a blustering bully, a brutal murderer,
or all three. A pistol is good for noth
ing but to shoot a man with, and with
out murder iu your heart you have no
use for a pistol in your pocket.
WHY NOT?
The present building used by the Ella
ville High school seems to be entirely
mis-arranged for a school house. The
upper rooms, we learn, are too small for
the larger classes, hence the putting of
the Small children upstairs. And the
lower rooms are not at all adequate for
the larger classes. The heating arrange
ments, we also learn, is neither conven
ient nor sufficient for a very cold winter
This location is one of the most desira
ble in town for a residence lot and the
building itself, originally designed for a
residence, could by a few repairs be
made one of the most handsome and
conveniently located residences in town.
Now if this building and lot can be sold
for its value the money, we think, would
purchase a cheaper lot and erect on it a
building suited to school purposes and
be far more desirable in every way.
A good school should be the highest
ambition of every town and without a
suitable house it is almost impossible to
keep up a good school. Our lovely little
town is growing now and if \\e hope
continue on the line of progress we
enlarge our school facilities and adjust
them to the requirements of the times,
H we cannot sell or exchange it for a
more suitable school building then
try to remodel this one. What say you
school commissioners V
OCTOBER
From Demorest, Magazine.!
If there is any month in the whole year
that seem absolutely perfect in all
ditions, it is October. The weather
neither too warm, nor too cold; the op
pressive heat of the summer is past, and
the nipping frosts have not begun; the
air is balmy and serene, and no
clouds appear in the horizon; the drench
ing rains that sometimes come in Au
gust and September are over, and the
snow-storms are too far in the future to
give us a shadow of uneasiness. In
vegetable kingdom, Nature has
to a halt; the fruits have ripened, and
the harvests been gathered in; the grow
ing process has ceased, or nearly so, and
everything is in repose; there is no longer
that marvellous activity around us
ga ve new creations; in rapid succession
an d clothed with verdure; every plant
an d shrub and tree. Much of that ver
dure still remains: and nature, l_ as if con
scious that her reign of beauty is d raw
ng to a close, brings out her most gor
genus draperies, and the rare colors with
which she adorns the forests and hill
sides, particularly in our northern lati
tudes, arc indeed wonderful Every
tree and shrub and trailing vine is touch
ed with her pencil; and the showy splen
dors that adorn our mountain-sides not
only challenge the artist’s skill, but in a
measure defy it. No brush can equal
natures coloring: art may imitate, hut
nature is perfect.
