There was quite a crowd at church Sunday. Jesse Gaff has been playing detect¬ ive for a few days. Another picnic party from our place to the river to-day. Comrade Swafford is building lnm a new bouse, so it is reported. We wonder when Mr. Kettle is go¬ ing to get that flag for the school house? The ground is again getting in con¬ dition for the farmers to plant their crops. Farmer Johnson has been helping Hess Cooper plant corn this week between showers. George Haskell is sporting a boil on the side of his face, but he has the pa¬ tience of Job of old. Wes Pearson has his tract enclosed with a 8-wire fence tiiat will strain out the largest razorbacks. Several of the young people of this vicinity attended prayer meeting at Dan Ilortons Sunday night. Several of the people in this vicinity attended prayer meeting at the Old¬ field church Wednesday night. .virs. Margaret Gaff and daughter, Bettie, attended quarterly meeting Saturday at Pine Level church. There was several strangers at church Sunday afternoon. They are invited to come again as the latch string hangs out. Fred Ray and Dwight Foxwortliy have been working for “Shorty” this week. They have been swinging this grubbing hoe. Fred Ray has been working over on the other side of the creek this week, but we won’t tell who for; we will keep that a secret Fred. Mr. and Mrs. Petseher, Mr. Haskal, Fred Dunbar, Win. Pearson, Louis Luke and “Shorty” were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pullman Sunday. Mr. Estev, of Fitzgerald, attended our Sunday school last Sunday. He took dinner with S. S. Goff and then went to Georgia Chapel school in the afternoon. Mr. Lew Blood had the misfortune to run a nail in his hand last Monday morning, but the wound is getting along all right. It laid him off from work this week. Rev. J. J.sLohr gave us a temper¬ ance sermon Sunday in which he said if there were some drunkards there he could have given a better lecture. We are glad to say that we have none of that class of people here at Wolf Pit. We boys are not built that way. Mr. l’ollman and wife, Mr. Blood and wife, Mr. Kettle and wife, Mrs. Brubaker, Miss Etta Poilmau and Mable Kettle went to Fitzgerald Landing picnicking last Saturday and report of having a good time. But, O my, bow tired we were when we got home. One of our young men is talking of going North in a few weeks. He lias been putting it off from time to time tiiat we think lie hardly will, and from other indications we don’t be¬ lieve be will go. Coine, Fred, tell us ail about it and setup the cigars and we will say no more. The junior editor of The Leader wanted to know where ttie Wolf Pit settlement was. Well, sir, Jim, it is in the northeast corner of the colony domains some six or seven miles from the city of Fitzgerald and three miles from Crisp and Fitzgerald Landing— the best part of the colony. Come out and see. There has been quite a sensation in our neighborhood the last few days over some meat that was stolen from Mr. David Troup, some four miles soutli of this place. On last Monday morning Mr. Troup found that some¬ body bad dug under the back end of his smoke house and taken between 350 and 400 pounds of meat there¬ from, and on looking around found tracks of some four different persons in the soft ground and “Iso the tracks of a buggy and oxcart which is sup¬ posed tiiat the meat was hauled away in and as the rair jon Sunday night had made the ground foft the vehicle tracbs was easily followed ior some distance. Mr. Troup and others com¬ menced to search the country over on Monday and kept it np until they made some discoveries as to the part¬ ies who took the meat and on Wednesday evening had them ar¬ rested and takeii before the justice of the peace for trial. Thursday the parties arrested were found guilty, (but the whereabouts of the meat is still a mystery.) They were assessed a fine and ordered to leave the country. Preacher Brown, wife and daughter and Oliver Caswell, all colored, were the parties arrested. Will Come Back Again. Editor Fitzgerald Liadkh. Sirs —I have changed my postoffice address from Sioux Falls to Montrose. Please send paper to Montrose, 8. D. To-day is the first fine day I have seen since I left Fitzgerald, January 15. I am happy to hear that everything is progressing, and hope to be back again in old Georgia ere many months. Tours respectfully, W. G. Wardwell. Montrose, S. D., March 28, ’97. A New Indnstty.. Mr. Sidney Lascelles has success¬ fully completed arrangements for con¬ ducting a merchandise brokerage business on a scale which places him in a position to supply the needs of our merchants at lower prices than they iiave heretofore been able to purchase their goods. He has been appointed broker and agent for some of the largest manufacturers and shippers in the country. In a few days he will open an additional office in the Fitz¬ gerald block adjoining his present quarters, in which he will carry a full line of samples and receive daily quo¬ tations from all points, and issue a price list every morning, which will he distributed to every dealer in the city. The new office will practically be the “Merchant’s Exchange of Fitz¬ gerald,” will be open from 8 a. m. un¬ til 5 p. m., and give all dealers an op¬ portunity of seeing beforehand what they are purchasing. Her Courage Severely Tried. Mrs. Samuel Stamn, of Logauton, Fa., bore her thirty-four years of suf¬ fering with coinage and fortitude. Her trouble was rheumatism in the knee. In consequense, her limb had become so stiff that she could hardly walk. Mr. Stamn is a well-to-do mer¬ chant, and had spared no pains or ex¬ pense to relieve her, but with little suc¬ cess, until one night when it grew so painful that she could hardly endure it; lie persuaded her to try Chamberlain’s Fain Balm; ihe effect was magical. The first application relieved the pain, and its continued use lias remov¬ ed all stiffness and given her the free use of her limb once more. For sale by J. II.
