To Correspondents—All letters for Tuesday publi¬ cation must roach us by Monday or of each week. Unless the name of the cor¬ respondent accompanies the letter wo will not publish the same. Wo will not print the name of the correspondent or toll who they are, but want the name as an evidence of good faith. Write news, and do not write anything that reflects on the character of anyone. Woodland Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. Miss Sadie Sams was at Fine Level Sunday. Mr. Minick is on the sick list, Hope he may recover. John Fox is setting out fruit trees, grapes and strawberries. Mr. Owen is clearing and putting his timber into cord wood. - Oh, ye hunters, if you cannot find anything else to shoot, put a load of shot in your clog, but don’t let him yelp so. Mr. Haver has got his 5-acre tract inclosed with a five board fence, and ground prepared for setting out straw- berries. Jo Dandy. Sparks From Wolf Pit. From Our Regular Correspondent. Cool nights. Sam Gaff attended church at Dorm- iney’s Mill Sunday. Mrs. Blood visited Mrs. Colwell Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Parks and wife were theguests of Mr. Tollman Sunday. Norman Dorminey took a drove of cattle to Ashburn this week. Rev. Williamson conducted a bible reading at Wolf Pit Sunday evening. The saw’ mill is still doing business at the old stand, and are turning out a good deal of lumber. Frank Price, who lives west of the city, was the guest of Wm. rearson and Shorty Friday night. Uncle BJllie Pearson and Fred Rav were over west of the city the first of the week making up some cane. Quite a crowd of young people was at the sugar boiling at Sam Gaffs Thursday night. A good time is re¬ ported. The Boy With One Eye Open. Society Demands It. The manager of the opera house has the following set of rules under consid¬ eration, which we believe, if adopted, will go a long way toward the popular¬ ity of his house: All ladies’ hats exceeding in size a well-developed hash-bowl must be re¬ moved or the afflited persons behind be accorded the privilege of making smart remarks or pelting the wearer with beans, tacks and paper wads. A system of sink-holes connected with the main street sewer will be estab¬ lished in the rows of seats in the rear. These' are for tobacco ^chewers. The practice of inundating ten square feet of floor with tobacco juice will be done away with. Peanut eaters will he supplied with split baskets by the ushers and must use them as receptacles for shells. The man or woman who giggles aloud during the scene where the lead¬ ing lady is driven from home during a fearful snow storm, is open to a general attack from all people in the vicinity. Indiscriminate “wetting up” between acts will be prohibited. Victims of the clove habit must bring their “snops” with them. Bald heads are forbidden the front seats. People have become tired of see¬ ing these scandulous old villians rubber at the meatless mortality which com¬ prises the average theatrical troupe. Ladies will be allowed the privilege of inserting pins in the legs of the men who insist on climbing over them be¬ tween each act to get a snort. Uslers will not be allowed to wear diamonds larger than a pigeon egg. These men are becoming almost as proud and haughty as drug clerks. No chestnuts will be tolerated on Phil Harris, Dr. Spicer, Fred Clark or Isidore Gelders. Sueh chestnuts can be cracked at Tifton, but not here. The price of admission to the green room will be two bottles of beer and a box of cigarettes’ Husbands with their wives caught winking at the ballet girls will—well, they will get plenty when they get home—let that suffice. The opera house orchestra will be es¬ corted to the high bridge north of town if last year’s tune is resurrected. There is a limit to all patience. Editors and reporters will be allowed to dead-head as usual. People in the habit of emitting cata¬ mount shrieks when pleased with the performance will be provided with the gags by the ushers.
