Don’t forget the State Fair to
be held at Macon.
The gun was” loaded this
time and Bainbridge is short
one John Schuler;
When militiamen have no
bullets in their guns, they are
not very terrifying.
A train on the G. S. & F..
railroad killed a 200 pound bear
near Macon a few days ago.
A negro committed suicide
the other day while in jail at
Bainbridge, by taking a bottle
of laudanum.
Mr. J. M. Swain who lives
about 3 miles north of Tifton
was instantly killed by lighten
ing, one day last week.
Celia Manly, 115 years of age,
died the other day near Brook
field. She leaves a son 75 years
of age.
If Russia expects to save any
ships at all, she had better send
them overland somewhere into
the interior.
The Philadelphia Record
thinks it very unappropriate to
rush the growler in dog days.
We are not so sure about that.
About the middle of Septem
ber the Republican papers will
be charging that Alton B. Par
ker personally conducted the
burning at Statesboro.
One thing certain: The repub
lican managers have already re
alized that this is no 1886-1900
campaign. There is no bulging
in the dough bag.
Secretary Taft now says he
had his fingers crossed when he
made that suggestion that the
Philipinos were entitled to a
genuine self-government. The
bill has evidently been jostled
by the republican bosses.
Teddy has gone up against a
good many hard propositions,
but the support of the New
York Sun and the Chicago
Chronicle is staggering him.
It’s pretty tough for them to
come at him in pairs that Way.
Is there a way to please ’em?
Here is a Colorado woman who
is sueing for a divorce because,
“My husband lias no backbone.
Whenever I asked for anything
I always got it without ques
tion. There is no satisfaction
in that kind of humdrum exist
ence for me,”
“It was ever thus.” Just as
everybody is anticipating the
downfall of Port Arthur, the
editor of the Times-Enterprise
since his recent visit to St.
Louis, has developed into a
poet, and in last Sunday’s issue
he vents his rath upon the un
suspecting reader bv editing a
column editorial pcetical para
graphs. And he spells the
name of the city which contains
the World's Fair, “St. Lou.”
