Messrs Rountree and Huling have

Use the Pacific, Moody’s High

Farmers are plowing and planting
some in this section between showers.
Some are gardening a little.
Mesdames A. G. Harris and M. D.
Rountree have been beautifying their
flower yards considerably for a new
crop, notwithstanding they lost so many
during the winter. “It will never do
to give it up so Mr. Brown,” is a good
maxim.
Last fall, when Mr. Landrum sowed
his winter turnips so late, aud put so
many seed on the ground, some of his
neighbors thought he was making two
mistakes, but now he has a good stand
and plenty of salad. Come up, Mr.
Editor, and he will give you a mess.

will control the shoe shop, while Mrs.
Lovett Glass and Mrs. Wm. Burch

completed by the 29th inst.
We understand that Mr. Henry
Rowan will improve his place some by
putting a nice woven wire fence around

Our school is doing well, and Mr.
Landrum proposes 10 close this term
about the middle of June.
We want to ask our friend “W. T.
G.” to please not write any more “con

know that you may have caused some
poor woman a great deal of trouble by
not naming tbe person about whom you
were writing. For fear my letter takes
up too much space, I shall uot say where
the trouble may arise, and let you have
another night’s “musing.”

Many people, with the notion that

’Squire ISill Bryans tells a story as
the latest from the Populists, aud il
lustrates it by the dead husband of a
very bad wife who, when conversed
with through a spiritualist medium by
his wife told her he was happy, but in
hell. When asked to explain he told
her that the horrors of the infernal re
gion was bliss compared to life in the
world with her. The dead husband is
the Pops, the mean wife the demis, and
hades is republican rule. Well, I had
hoped better things of our third party
friends, but if they are reaping the
whirlwind they cannot say that I ever
failed to warm them of the dangers ot
their course. Peace to their ashes,
and may Old Nick (Tom lieid) deal
gently with them.

lii behalf of the McDonoqgh Ceme
tery Society, 1 deem it necessary to
mlike a statement explanatory of our
financial condition. l/ist year the la
flies hsnuiii d the responsibility cf erect
ing a pavilion at the cemetery for the
comfort mill convenience of visiters,
uni in c ise of rain to be used in going
ihiongli a but ial service.
It bits proven to be a nee-ssity and
we do not regret building it. To com
plete the structure, however, we did
not have all the money required, and
we were left with a debt of seventeen
dollars or more, hoping to raise the
money during the fall months. The
stringency in motley matters prevented
our doing so. This money is overdue
by several months and mi st he paid.
In order to make the burden as light as
possible on our citizens, and to equalize
it as well, we have secured the services
of Ilev. (’lias. Lane, who lias kiudly
consented to deliver us a lecture Friday
night, the iith of April, for the benefit
of our cemetery, and I can assure all
who attend (and I hope all that can
will do so) a rare treat. He says “he
will give us all the fun we can stand.”
The McDonough Comet Band will en
tertain the audience with line music,
during the evetiing, and we hope to
make it an occasion of rare enjoyment.
The admission price is only 2.1 cents,
children 1.1 cents.
Should we realize more than the
amount to relieve our indebtedness it
will be used in resetting the fence
around the cemetery, which is a neces
sity also, as it is already falling down
in some places and mi st he reset this
summer.
Now, dear friends, let me urge you
to give us a full house, and help in this
matter. There is not a citizen of Mc-
Donough or the surrounding country
but is interested in keeping the ceme
tery in order, and 1 make this appeal
to you for help, hoping to have a liber
al and hearty response to a call which
touches every heart and home in our
community. Mils. Kate Piper,
President.
