TflE PRESENT OUTLOOK-
Having traveler! recently over a
large portion of our county and :,omc
adjourning counties, I have been very
forcibly impressed with the present
situation of our farmers. Hundreds
of acres of farming land are yet un
touched as to preparation for planting,
and more people undecided about
what course to take than ever known
before.
Farmers generally were left in
worse condition at tire close of last
year than tor many years Lefore, and
it was not all their fault as some are
ready *o say. Asa whole they have
done extremely well when we consid
er what they were forced to meet last
year. The cotton crop damaged to
an extent never before known, the
corn crop damaged almost one half
and the fodder we might say a total
loss; and much of it after having the
expense of pulling.
Some of our merch'ahts are very
slow to advance to farmers lor lack of
ability or just because they don’t
want to. But this much Ido know',
that unless our people, can get assist
ance from some source there are
numbers of them that will not be able
to make a crop this year. The time
is here just now that what is to be
done must be done at once. The
next two months will settle the qnes
tion so fai as this year is concerned.
Now, suppose a portion of people
fail to make a crop, they are not the
only ones hurt by such a failure.
Those merchants that sit up and keep
their goods will find themselves when
money time comes next fall with their
same old stock on their hands with
no one to buy and will have to go at
some other business. Hack to the
field is where most everyone goes af
ter having made a failure at some
other business. In my judgement
now is the best time to advance to
farmers, first because they need it
more than formerly and because peo
ple are more economical than they
have ever been.
I don’t believe in strikes and boy
cotts, but if such things were ever
justified they would be against those
merchants that close their doors and
ears to those who have made them
what they are; the prosperous ones I
mean, of course. lam aware of the
fact that many merchants have been
imposed upon by some people, but
that don't justify them to withhold
their support from those who have
done their best if they can't pay all
they owe.
So now, gentlemen, if you want
plenty and prosperity to come, call in
your old customers while you can
keep them, take in new ones, sell
what you have; yes, sell it on credit,
buy more, sell that too, so you will
have something to do now and more
next fall. Thus. K. Whittle.

Rattier Exaggerated.
The Macon Telegraph yesterday
contained the following item:
“Mr. C. V. Johnson returned this
morning from Barnesviile. He repoits
that the hail accompanying the rain
Monday afternoon surpassed the
blight which fell on ancient Egypt.
“Stones measuring from four to six
inches in diameter were plentiful, and
for the six miles that he followed the
course of the storm the crops and
vegetation were entirely destroyed.
Not a blade of corn or stalk of cotton
remained in the entire pathway, and
the wheat and oats looked as though
it had been trampled by and rolled
upon by myriads of cattle. The air
was laden with the odor of the bruised
green as though the leaves and stalks
had been crushed in a sugar mill.
The storm occurred at 2 o'clock, and
at 6. great snowy heaps could still be
seen where the hail had drifted into
corners and against walls of buildings.'’
Why is it that one man is old and
decrepid at 45, and another hale and
hearty at 80? It depends on the care
he takes of himself. Often a man’s
body gets out of repair—the trouble
grows until it lavs him out in bed.
Whenever a man feels that he is not
as well as he ought to be, when
ever he is listless, without energy and
without vitality*, whenever he finds
that he is losing weight aid that his
ordinary work gives him undue fa
tigue, he needs Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. If he keeps on
working with his liver inactive and
his blood impure—he keeps his
nerves anil his body under a constant
nervous strain. He will not be hear
ty when he is old. The Golden Med
ical Discovery cures many so-called
diseases because nearly all illess
springs trom the same thing—bad
digestion and consequent impure
blood. The Discovery makes the
appetite good, the digestion strong,
assimilation easy, and. the blood rich
and pure.
Attending Convention.
Dr. T. J. Watts leaves today
tor Louisville,* Ky., where he
goes to attend the Southern Baptist
Convention as a delegate from the
Georgia State Convention. He has
a brother there and will also visit
other relatives while on this trip. He
will no doubt enjoy it very much.
Upson Superior Court.
Thomaston, Ga., May 7. —The
present session of Upson Superior
court, which convened last Monday,
ended yesterday. In view of the fact
that the farms of the county were so
greatly in need of work the court did
not sit but one week. Most of the
civil business was carried over until
the next November term.
A large number of visiting lawyers
from the adjoining counties were in
attendance during the session.
Among the number were Messrs.
J. L. Hardeman, Macon; S. N. Wood
ward, J. J. Rogers, Barnesville; E. F.
Dupree and G. D. Dominick, of Zeb
ulon; J M. Smith, of Molena; and H.
A. Peeples, of Hampton.
Many criminal cases were tried, the
most important of which was the state
against Homer Bradshaw, a homeless
white tramp, for stealing a horse
owned by Mr. Ernest Black, a well
known citizen of this county. Brad
shaw was convicted and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary.

BRIDOES
Editor Gazette: —As the road
question has been settled by Messrs.
Bush, Woodall, and Whittle I wish to
call the attention ot the public brief
ly to the bridge business. I have
noticed lately the small bridges be
tween Riley Cross-roads and the fork
or road near Mr. U. L. Taylors’.
The bridges referred to are in good
condition, two of them are practically
new, yet I see new lumber placed at
each place, for the purpose, I sup
pose, of tearing out the old ones and
replacing with new.
I have also been informed by a res
ponsible man that the lumber at these
three places cost the county twenty
seven dollars.
It is an outrage on the tax payers
to pay such extravagant and unnec
cessarv bills, that is, if this lumber is
to be used at these places.
The last Grand Jury recommended
terracotta to be used for small
bridges instead of lumber. Just the
idea of putting twenty seven dollars
worth of lumber on less than three
quarters of a mile and where there is
already good bridges, is something I
don’t understand. 1 don’t know
who the commissioners are for that
district, but one thing is certain, they
certainly don’t know what they are
doing, or don’t care what they do, or
are not competent for road commis
sioners. It is most assuredly one of
the three. With all due respect for
the gentlemen, who ever they may be,
they ought to take that lumber and
put it where it is needed and let those
bridges alone.
I was perfectly astonished when I
saw the piles of lumber at those plac
es for I know when the bridges were
built and they are good now.
If such extravagance as this is to
go unnoticed I don’t know what will 1
be next.
A man to make a faithful public
officer shbuld have good practical
judgement and know no one in dis
charge of his duties. If there is any
power in the county toj have roads
worked the first thing done should be
the loose rock taken out of the roads.
If that alone was done it would be
worth more to the traveling public
than all the work that has been done
in two years.
