The corn and cotton is getting a hustle on growing. Wm. Pollman and wife dined with Mr. SwafTords Sunday. The school of Miss Cleah Swafford at this place closed June 1. Mrs. Sam Gaff was the guest Aunt Laura Blooe Sunday. The Thursday night prayer meeting was held at Mr. Harpers this week. Mr. L. Shumway, of Fitzgerald, week. was in our vicinity one day this Miss Mable Kettle was on the sick list the iirst of the week, but is able to be around at this writing. About all the fishing club does is to go to the river to see after their in¬ terest in the fish that they want to catch. » Mrs. Margaret Gaff and son, Billie, went to her brother, J. T. Dixes, above Bowen’s Mill, Sunday and re¬ turned home Monday. Some of the boys from this place who went over south of here to get a job on the saw mill are back again on their old stamping grounds. The time of meeting of the Young Peoples’meeting and preaching has been changed from 2 and 3 o’clock to 6:30 and 7:30 in the evening. Fred Ray was on the sick list Sun¬ day and was not able to attend church and Young Peoples’ meeting. Sick headache was the cause. Etta and Nancy says it was pretty dark coming home from the school house after prayer meeting Tuesday night, and had to come home by themselves. What was the matter with Roy and George? The ball game at the Ashdale grounds between the Old Field nine and the Wolf Pit nine last Saturday was a grand defeat for the Wolf Pit boys, as they got it laid over them bad, and it made the boys look pretty blue for awhile, but they say they are will¬ ing to give the other club another trial in the near future. Pitcher Kipple says one reason he could not play was that he had to look at the pretty young ladies that were in attendance at the game. Several of the people saw a strange light last Wednesday night in the heavens and did not know what caused it. But we are of the opinion it was a meteor or that stray air ship that has been seen in the different parts of the country lately, causing so much comment through the leading papers of the country. It may be the ship that was stolen from Esquire Hoffman and Co. at Roana, Ind., who made a trip to the North Pole early in the spring, and after they came hack the ship was stolen from the company. There was a meeting held at the school house Monday afternoon of the people of this vicinity to see about getting a saw mill to locate in the neighborhood. Fitzgerald, Mr. Ernest, a mill man, from was at the meeting and made some propositions as to bringing called his mill order here. The meeting was to McGregor by Com¬ rade Swafford. Mr. was chosen president of the After meeting and Fred Ray secretary. some dis¬ cussion on the proposition made by Mr. Ernest, it was moved that the proposition be accepted show and Mr. a com¬ mittee be appointed territory to and find suita¬ Enl- est over the a ble location, and draw up the con¬ tract. The committee consisted of Messrs. Simpson, Kettle and Lam¬ bert. We do not know what they have done, as we have not heard from the committee. The Roy With One Eye Open. Sycamore Mutterings. From Our Regular Correspondent. A good rain is badly needed. J. M. Hargrove visited Quitman Thursday. Dr. C. E. Walker has recovered from his late spell of sickness. R. E. L. Hammond and wife, of Dawson, were visiting week. friends and rel¬ atives here last A large majority of the voters of this district are in favor of removing the court house to Fitzgerald. Prof. Lucius Brown, of Upson county, has opened Hill a flourishing school at Pleasant academy two miles east of here. The closing exercises of the Syca¬ institute on Monday and Tues¬ last under the able and efficient of Prof. Clifford Grubbs, a splendid affair. Two young men living near the river, were brought to Syea- more last Saturday morning and tried betore Justices Ray and Parker, charged with having set fire to Mr. Sebron Summer’s barn in the early part of this month. They were dis¬ missed as sufficient evidence was lack¬ ing to warrant the court in binding them over to superior court. It is with regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Eva Morris, which sad event occurred at her home Sun¬ day morning last. Her remains were interred Monday at Pleasant Hill cemetery with beautiful and appropri¬ hus¬ ate ceremonies. The sorrowing band and friends have the entire sym¬ pathy of the community. Omega.

Gowan keeps Ocilla in ice and cool drinks. The weather has been very hot the past few days. Mrs. Thomas and Mis. Susie Price visited Fitzgerald Monday last. Wm. Raker, of Waycross, was visit- ing friends in Ocilla iast week. Since our last writing we have vis¬ ited a large section of our county and find crops extra good. We learn that the Kissimee tigers were overhauled Monday last. They promised to stop business, and not do so any more. The little boy of Reasey Sanders while playing at Mr. Conners, fell and broke his leg Sunday last. Mr. Lockhart, of Worth county, was in town Tuesday last. He was in¬ vestigating prices of land. He ex¬ pects to open a merchandise business at this place soon. Council Proceedings. The city council met in regular ses¬ sion last Monday night.

I now desire to attest to the happy results. A few applications of this liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued the inflammation and relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Pain Balm a trial it will please me.— Respectfully and gratefully yours, E. Edwards, Minersville, Pa. (Pastor English Baptist Church.) For sale by J. H.
