LOCUST 6ROVE.
Mrs. Bttnnie Mahone and child
ren, of Unadilla, Ga., spent sev
eral days here last week, visiting
the family of her father, Dr. Hef
lin.
The friends of Mrs. Richard
Boynton, who has been at the
home of her father, Mr. L. H.
Parsley, several weeks with pella
gra, are sorry to know her condi
tion is not improved at this writ
ing.
Verily the people of Locust
Grove are a trading people—and
now Mr. J. H. Evans has sold his
nice, new residence on the east
side of town to Mr. T. J. Upchurch
for SBOO.OO, and in turn has bought
the up-town stock of goods of the
said T. J. Upchurch, and has em
barked in the mercantile business.
So now look out for the sign
boards to be stuck high on trees
at the cross-roads, reading thusly
—“For everything in the fancy
and family grocery line call on J.
H. Evans.”
Col. J. F. Wall, of McDonough,
was here Saturday on legal busi
ness connected with the injunc
tion suit brought by some of the
citizens here against the Rich
mond Cotton Oil Co.
Rev. Tom Whktley, of Spauld
ing county will fill the regular ap
pointment at Beersheba church,
one mile below town, for the pas
tor on 4th Saturday and Sunday
in Sept., and judging from the
reputation he bears in his com
munity there is a treat in store
for those who hear him.
Dr. B. D. Ragsdale delivered
an interesting discourse to a well
filled house at the Baptist church
here last Sunday.
A telegram w T as received here
last Sunday morning announcing
the death of Mrs Eugene Combs
in Atlanta, where she had been
several weeks for treatment.
While htr death was not wholly
unexpect id yet it caused quite a
shock and surprise as her condi
tion was thought to be considera
bly improved the few days just
preceding the end; so much so
that her husband was at home at
the time.
Truly it would seem that such
events as the above coming as
they do- almost monthly in our
own community, weekly in our
hearing and daily in our country,
would serve to make people more
thoughtful and considerate of
each other and more affectionate
in a Christian way—but, alas !it
seems they don’t.
The demand for refined cotton
oil has become so general that
two of our popular merchants,
Mr. J. W. Bono and Mr. Andy
Castellaw, have begun selling it
regularly.
The funeral of Mrs. Eugene
Combs, was conducted at the Bap
tist church Monday by Dr. Rags
dale. The remains were followed
to the grave by a large concourse
of sorrowing friends. Besides
her husband she leaves two small
children who have the sympathy
of all.
Mr. Joseph Elkin, an aged citi
zen of this county, is critically ill
at this writing at the home of his
widowed grand-daughter, Mrs.
Lethia Laney, and all hope of his
recovery has been abandoned.
LATER—Mrs. Richard Boyn
ton died last Monday afternoon at
5 o’clock. The funeral and inter
ment was held at the Baptist
church at this place on Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. R. F. Smith offi
ciating. She is survived bv her
hnsband and two small children
who have the sympathy.

one aooord as the deciples of old
were at the day of penticost: Acts
the second chapter and Ist verse ;
and that’s for the benefit of being
in harmony with one another and
to remember one another as the

the great reunion shall come we
come be together to never part
again.

A 6REATOAY TUESDAY.
By far one of the most interest
ing days in the history of Henry
County of the Farmers Union was
that of Tuesday when the redoubt
able Ben Griffin, of Arkansas,
made his great speech here. It

have heard it.
John Lee of Union City was here
and in the afternoon gave some
fine facts about the warehouse
system to maintain the prices of
cotton and other products.
The weekly would be glad to re
