LOCUST GROVE. With the cold rains of last, week and a heavy frost on the 10th to the contrary, yet vegetation has rapidly tuok on its coat of green. Whooping cough has claimed another victim in our midst, this time it was the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Upchurch who died last Friday night and was buried Saturday with funeral services conducted by Dr. Ragsdale. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all. Mr, James T. Lewis, of Woolsey. spent last Sunday here the guest of Rev. R. F. Smith. Owing to hoarseness and failure of his voice from cold Dr. Ragsd ale called on Prof. S. B. Cousins to fill the 11 o’clock hour at the Bap tist church last Sunday, which he did. Sure enough Mr. Billie Patrick, of Spalding county, passed through here last Sunday accompanied by quite a number of relatives and friends and made his way to Mc- Donough and brought away a love ly bride in the person of Miss Emmie Clements, one of McDon ough’s fair ones. May their path way through life be strewn with flowers is the wish of many friends. Mr. R. B. Martin, of Shellman, Ga., spent last Sunday here visit his two sons who are students in .the Institute. It was announced by the paster at the Baptist church last o .inday that on Tuesday April tne 27th, the Baptist preachers of Atlanta, also those of the Flint River Asso ciation, together with some friends of theirs are expected to visit the School here. That day is looked forward to with considerable an ticipation by the people here. Mrs. Willie Ham, principal of the Grammer School, has inform ed her pupils that if nothing pre vents she wishes her school to picnic at Heflin & Prices mill next Saturday, April 17. Unidentified, Rheumatism More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no internal treatement is required. Tne free applica tion of Charabelain’s Liniment is all that is needed, and it is certain to give quicK relief. Give it a trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and sore ness. The medicine usually given inter nally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than useless in cases of chronic and mus cular rheumatism.

She was a Miss Vickers was horn ed and reared in Butts county near Flovilla. She was about 40 years old. She leaves a husband, three children, two sisters and a aged father. Mrs. Webb was loved by all who knew her. She was a faithful church member. She real ized her death and talked freely of her Savior. It was so sad to hear her talk of leaving her family, but said if its God’s will its all right, for he is-too good to do wrong and to wise to error* All was done that loving hands and sorrowing hearts could do, but God saw best. Mrs. Webb had a kind disposition made friends everywhere she went, she was good to visit the sick, too much could not be said of her. Her remains was carried to Sandy Creek church in Butts coun tv for burial Saturday following The funeral services was conducted by Rev. Mr. Henderson.

The beauties of spring are here again. This neck of woods has nothing of interest for The Weekly this week. We had representatives at the Sunday evening singing at Beth any. The frost Friday morning looked like midwinter. Friday was a good one for hog killing, but not for bean planting. I will not kick up about what ; The Weekly writers say against the dog nuisance because I am not a dog. Neither does an attack on scandal negroes touch me. Anyone can learn the orgin and authorship of the song, “Where is my wondering boy tonight” by calling on Vaney Crnmbley, es pecially Isaac Newton Smith of Needmore.

Ne special at tention was given them futlier than to keep them supplied with fresh water, grit from beat up crockery and to occasionally feed them meat scraps ground in a meat chopper and to make them work by throw ing their feed in leaves. If anyone in Georgia, including Pike county, can beat this record, would like to hear from them. V. P. Fnlok. 45 5-0 Dozen Kggs From I) Hens Dur ing Fast Three Winter Months. Editor News and Sun—The fol lowing is the correct egg record of our first pen of Blue Ribbon Strain single comb, White Leghorns. This pen contains nine hens and one cockerel: Eggs laid in December, 12 11-12 dozen ; January, 15 1-2 dozen ; Feb ruary, 17 5-12 dozen. Total, 45 5-6 dozen. This gives our pen the fancy re cord of 244 4 9 eggs each per year, while the hens of your correspond ent of last week will average 148 eggs per year. Our hens have had no especial attention, only being fed grain food—with oyster shells and beef scraps occasionally So far our eggs have proven 95 per cent, fertile. Being invited by your correspondent for any re cord which would beat his, is our only reason for publishing my re cord. White Feather Farm, Luella, Ga. What Mr. Carson's Hens and Two Roosters Did Our Brooks correspondent fur nishes us with the following story on a subject which is growing in interest in this section : James N. Carsotl, .\>vho has been in the poultry business about one year and who is now making about $35 per week selling eggs and has some as fine towls as there are in Middle Georgia, is getting some eggs himself. In a pen of 12 White Leghorn hens and one rooster, he got in December 8 dozen and 10 eggs, in January, 13 doxen and 9 eggs and in February, 19 dozen and 10 eggs. Total, 42 dozen and 5 eggs. Tlie chickens hatched in May, 1908. In a pen of 25 Rhode Island Red hens and two roosters, he got in December 24 dozen and 3 eggs, in January 33 dozen and 2 eggs and in February 32 dozen and 4 eggs These chickens were also hatched out last May. There can be no mistake in the number of eggs which the hens laid, as Mr. Carson’s books are checked up every night and every pen is checked separately to see if they are paying for their expens es.

We do not wish to take issue with the correspondent who last week took occassion to criticise certain parts of “Citizen” recent article, but tor the life of ns we cannot see where he bettered the matter, by putting up the argu ment he used Hush, Bro., don’t talk that way about a helpless and innocent victim of an assault, for the sake of the victim leave that part unsaid. Mr and Mrs, Arthur Upchurch have the sympathy of all in the death of their little 4 months’ child, who died from the effects of whooping cough one day last week. It was a sweet precious little child, and it was hard for papa and ma ma to see it placed in the cold ground, but. God wanted it for bis kingdom, and its in heaven now. beckoning for pa pa and mama to come, and some sweet day by-and bv they will see it again. We shall now be sad and lonely.

Muzzle The Dogs One of the Correspondents of the Weekly saw fit last weok to at tack a certain part of our recent article and while from the stand point he is viewing the matter from, we admit that his view wonld he correct, but say Bro., for the sake of the poor helpless vic tim you mention, leave that part unsaid, for it, is had enough for a thing like that to ever happen, and the construction you placed on it, would make it still more horrible to bear. God imide man to rule the animal kingdom, and every thing such as horses, cows, hogs, sheep, goats, and etc., are kept confined on the premises on which they belong, but it has always been a custom to allow dogs to run at large, but the time lias come when they should be controlled on llie basis as all other animals. The safety and welfare of the general public demands it. We again repeat it that death from liydriphobia is the most hor rible an terrible death rliat can be fall mankind, and its a reasonable proposition that dogs should be controlled on the same basis as other animals. We believe every reader of this article will agree with us on that point, ard we hope our repiesentative in the next le gislature will seek to have a law passed to that effect. “Citizen" Planting Seed for Sale I have about, 71) bushels of the Toole Early Prolific Cotton seed for sale—lt turns out over 40% lint and is a very prolific cotton, j Call on F.
