FEAR FOR OAT CROP
The farmers in this county are
uneasy just now in regard to the
possiDle fate of their early plant
ing of oats. The unseasonably
warm weather prevailing during
practically the whole of this
month has caused the oats to put
on a very heavy growth, and
they are just in condition to be
badly damaged. The acreage
planted in oats in Grady county
and all through this section is
quite large and the loss of the
crop would be a very serious one
to the farmers.
FOR SALE-600 acres of turpen
tine and saw mill timber for* sale.

LOOKS FOR GREAT REVIV
AL
Presiding Elder Outler of
Thomasville preached -at the
Methodist church last Thursday
evening, the 23rd, the ocea&ion
being the 1st Quarterly confer
ence. He preached -a beautiful
sermon from a beautiful text-
“Tho I Speak with the t mgue of
men and of angels, and have not
love I am become as sounding
brass or a tinkling cymbal.” At
the close of the sermon he nui/Ie'
a stirring talk, full of encourage
ment, with a little note of warn
ing, concerning the work in the
Thomasville district.
He said that it looked to him
as if this was to be the greatest
revival year in the history of the
church in this section. He said
that men seemed to be taking a
greater interest in religion and
church work than ever before,
and that he noted with regret
that the women who had .always
been'the leading spirits in every
good work of the church, were
not attending services as for
merly, due, he thought, to the
fact that many of them were
club-mad- or rather onamoured
with club work and the glitter of
society.
It was. we thought, a mighty
good sermon and a timely talk.
THE GUY COURT OF
The' City Court' of Whigham
convened Monday morning with
Judge Singletary and Solicitor
Willie; Clerk McNair and Sheriff
Nicholson in their respective
places.
There was not much business
and the docket was cleared of all
the cases ready for trial Monday.
Judge Singletary went back
Tuesday to hear motions and to
attend to some other matters.
OYSTER ROAST

usual £ interest was the oyster
roast Saturday night, given in
honor of Misses Douglass and
Baldwin, two charming young
ladies of Talbotton, who are
guests at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. W, H. Searcy, Sr. Mr. W.
H. Searcy, Jr., was host.
There were some two score
guests present, principally young
men and young ladies of Cairo,
and the event was gieatly enjoy
ed by every one. ,
SOLICITOR W.E. WOOTEN DEAD

day morning to Clerk of the Court,
J. M. McNair, announced the
death of Solicitor General W. E.

EXCITE ADMIRATION
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 27.—
Mayor Lowery of Tallahsse, Fla.
with commissioners Collins, John
son and Miles and a number of
citizens of the Florida capital,
came over in automobiles a few'
days ago to inspect the good
roads of Thomas county and see
the work being done bv. the big
traction engine purchased by
this county some time ago. They
were taken in charge by the
County Commissioner? and Road
Superintendent Clay, and given
an' opportunity to try some of the
roads and were then taken to the
camp near Boston where the en
gine was at work. These gen
tlemen expressed themselves as
delighted with the roads here.
They say that Leon county is
spending about $25 000 annually
on roads, using free labor, but
the progress is slow and the re
sults not at all satisfactory.
Thomas county is spending about
$35,000 annually on road work
and the results show for them
selves.
