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.

Cashier 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.

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. GRADY COUNTY DIRT ■ • BRINGS FARCY Carry your Velvet Beans to J. T. Sellers.
