The last act of English atrocity is
to concentrate a hundred thousand
Boer people, women and children,
on the sea shore iu South Africa.
They take all non-combatant Boer
sympathisers to this point. The
number that will die from sickness
and starvation is enough to excite
the world’s pity. But as British
atrocity in South Africa ha9 not yet
disturbed the sympathy of civilized
nations this will not likely have
any such effect.
MR. BRYAN.
Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly a man

preaches. He opposed the inaugu
ration of a war with Spain, but ad
vocated standing up to the flag and
when it came buckled onlhis ’sword
and went in as far as they would
let him go. He ihinks Jabor has a
right to speak out against trusts
and the oppression of capital, and
he goes Into the ranks with the la
borers to lend his voice in crying
out against them.
Some people call him a demagog
We do not think he is anything of
the kind while we differ with him
in persisting in advocating issue;-
that even if true can not cow be
carried out, in other words, dead is

American, and speaks and acts too
much like an earnest man to b‘>
called a demagog. That is a favor

Editor Citizen:—It is a pleasure
to noce that the oid time custom of
having annual barbecues where
friends and relatives gather togeth
er in happy re-ucious, are return
lng. You of the city, who have so
many opportunities of social inter
course, can hardly realize how rural
people appreciate such occasions.
It was my happy privilege a few
days ago to be present at a delight
ful barbecue and elegant dinner
combined giyen by our geniai
friend, Mr. R. E. Crockett at his
hospitable home in the67th district.
From 10 o’clock a. m, until the noon
hour the guests, some of them from
a long distance, were arriving with
that easy familiarity, which char
acterizes the true southerner, who
feel sure of a warm welcome.
The moments flew quickly and
pleasantly by until the dinner hour
where under a grand oid oak in the
yard the table was spread groaning
not only with ’cue and hash, but ev
erything that the most fastidious
epicure could desire, with ice lem
onade in abundance. AmoDg the
guests present were:
Mibs Saphiomia Evans and her
three neices, Miss Eula and Straw
berry Crockett, of Hephzibah, and
Mrs. Kimbrough, of Putnam coun
ty; Mr. and Mrs. Jno. D Greiner, of
Waynesboro; Mr. and Mrs, R. H.
Greiner, of Greinerville; Dr. J. B.
Hawes, of McBean, Miss Moliie Mc
Cord, of Lincoln county; Mr. and
Mrs. D. E Nisbet and others of the
neighborhood, while Misses Lila
Greiner and Mannie Nisbet who
are spending sometime with Mrs.
Crockett, aided our hostess in en
tertaining.
After dinner music and recita
tions were in order. We were for
tunate in having the talent present
to furnish it. Misses Eula Crockett
and Mannie Nisbet each favored us
with a recitation and both were
warmly applauded while the vocal
solos and quartetta were In active
demand and heartily eDjoyed by
the company.
So in this happy delightful way
did the guests enjoy themselves un
til old Father Time with his watch
flog Sol warned us that the hour of
separation was at hand and with
many sigh- and regrets we winded
our way homeward,
Pardon me. I have tried to de
scribe the events of the day, but my
poor pen is inadequate to the task
and I will close by saying that it
was a day long to be remembered
by the guests present for its warm
hospitality anddelightful entertain
ment. A Guest.

There’s a handsome young fellow, who lives
in oiir town
And his name isn’t Smith nor is it Brown.
But there’s one thing sure, as sure cs can be,
His name in the paper you’ll s o 1 see.
And if I’m not. mistaken it wiii read like this
‘ Mr. —J has been married and is living in
bliss
His bride is as pretty as a rose in J nne”—
An ‘‘at borne” to their friends they’ll be send
ing now soon.
Old fellow we’.e sure that you’ll feel very
wise,
As upon your own table you first cast your
| eves;
i “See! Love I've been cooking some nice
! things to-day,”
| This sweet little angel will pretty soon say.
! We’re sure he Is gallant or else we’d adyise
When the biscuit come in to ciose up his
ej es.
Lest someih'ng might happen to cause him
to say
My mother made biscuit that ne'er tasted
this way.
Now John if you are as wise as you !o k
You never will mention that mother could
cook.
Or else you’Jl find, perhaps, with surprise
That wives when they’re angry don’t always
act wise.
Old boy we wish you well anyway
Experience will teach you more than wordfe
cau.
A long and happy life to yez both.

Your correspondent has just re

to say that in his humble opinion
our people ought certainly to he
proud of the magnificent public
roads in this section. We find that
they are as a rule nearly as good as
ihe pig paths running parallel with
them, and that by being exceeding
ly careful one cau travel as fast in
a buggy as he could on foot. We
were forced upon a few occasions
io abandon the roads and follow the
“pig paths.” Our sympathy was
aroused upon one occasion by a poor
pig, who, in trying to give us room
to pass aceideutaly fell Into the pub
lie road and broke his back. Poor
Pig Yes we are proud of our roads.

Our mail route from Waynesboro
to Mobley will undergo a change on
the 16th inst. Instead of two mail
riders there will be three. One
from Waynesboro to Telfairville;
one from Telfairville to Girard; one
from Girard to Mobley. The divis
ion of the lower end of the route is
brought about by an additional
route from Girard to Hattievilie, S.

Girard to Hattievilie is successfully
established that the one from Gi
rard to Telfairville will be discon
tinued.

The question of teacher at Cleve

a petition favoring each has been

their first regular meeting in Octob

the case, for without unanimity in
school matters we can hardly ex
