SCHLEY COUNTY
JIJMPPED IN A WELL.
Ike Cottle, an aged negro on Dr. Aa
ron Hart's plantation, after buffeting the
ways of this old world for nearly a hun
dred years, arrived at the conclusion
that life was not worth living and at
tempted,. in queer way, to shuffle off
this mortal coil. After returing from a
funeral late Friday evening the old man
suddenly disappeared. His pocket-book
knife etc. were found on the table in his
cabbin, but he and his ax were no where
to be found. After a search of two
nights and nearly two days his friends
came upon his coat, hat and ax near an
old well in the field, and looking into the
well found the old man standing waist
deep in the cold water but not dead
worth a cent. Several snakes, that had
fallen into the well, were trying to get
themselves out by climbing upon the old
fellow's shoulders. The slimy reptiles
did not bite him, but kept him busy
shaking them off. Ropes were secured
and the would be suicide was drawn out
•*and carried home. He says that he
wanted to die and the Lord would not
take him so he decided to kill himself.
He took the ax along to cut the bushes
away from the mouth of the well. It is
said (hat he has been quite despondent
ever singe the loss of his wife not long
since. His church brethren are indig
nant at his attempt at suicide and are
threatening to turn him “out ob de
church,” Saturday.
MARRIED IN A BUGGY.
There was a marriage in town Sunday
that looked a little like a runaway match
Mr. Stephen B. Holston and Miss Annie
Singletary, drove up to Squire Mead
ows’ gate, accompanied by Mr. J. W.
Dickerson and Miss Lizzie Ponder, and
calling the Squire out informed him that
they had come for him to bind them in
Hymens silken cords. The Squire bad
just rolled up bis sleeves and was help
ing his wife cook dinner, but he re
sponded promptly to the call and brush
ed the flour from his clothes white the
biide and groom squared themselves in
the i nggy, the grooms-man and brides
maid turned their horse around and
drove up beside the contracting par
ties. “Join right hands” said the Squire,
as he rolled down his shirt sleeves. By
the time the Squire completed the ad
justment of his toilet, he was about,
through with the ceremony, and pro
nounced them man and wife as he fas
tened his collar button and pulled down
his vest. As soon as the last words of
the ceremony were pronounced the
young people drove off and the Squire
returned to his cooking.
ARE Til ERE A N Y H ERE ?
A paper containing the following was
handed us by one of our most enterpris
es tizens with the request to copy, We
hope that this community is not so un
fortunate as to be cursed with any such
men as the Avalanche describes:
“There are some men so constituted
that they cannot help planting them
selves squarely in the way of all pro
gress. Tney discourage improvements,
stifle enterprise, choke public spirit,
frown upon all questions of change for
the better, and grope along in the oal
way. They are magnates, many of
them, and attract gold, and when it
reaches them it “sinks far into their ve
nal souls” so deep that no one ever secs it
again. They are money-getters, not be
cause of superior ability, but because the
fates cast them into a money-making
groove, and thev lack the versatility
to get out of it. They are the absorbents
that lick up the “life-blood of com
merce.” They have only one idea—one
ina j passion—and that is the lust for
mone y_ And this money must he made
w ithout the risk of a dollar. Anything
that nece8 sitates the investment of
, noney is tabooed. They produce noth
. ]|elp nothing, are of no benefit to
goc j e fc y) but sit around watching oppor
tun jtiea of getting a fellow man "in a
t - ^ •) t | ien t,hey crush him. Such men
never die. because they never have lived,
Some day 7 they will lie down and forget
to get up and collect rents and interest,
and then they will be laid away out ol
sight. The sun will shine brighter when
they are gone. Their names shall be
uns yllabled, their deeds unsung, —Mem
phis Avalanche.

Ellaville’s need for more dwelling houses

in Georgia for a town, but we can never
have a town without houses. If a few
more live, enterprising citizens with a
little capital to spare would put it into
houses for rent, they would fiud it a
profitab e investment and a big advan
