The protracted meeting closed Sun
day night and it was considered very
successful. The attendance was large
right up to the closing night and many
joined the church. We understand
that Rev. Cowan will next go to Thun
derbolt to conduct a meeting.
We want to suggest that it would be
a good idea to run a drag over the
beautiful Cedar Crossing road before
it has kqbe rebuilt again. A drag now
will put it in good shape for the guano
haulers and if it is not dragged the
road will be as bad as it ever was in
.another month.
A. S. Odom is selling guano. Alder,
bustles when he gets into a business
and he is making the other guano
agents get on the hump to keep up
with him. He is advertising in the

•that will catch the trade. They are
good goods, too.

salaries to be raised should be the reg
ular employees of the government.
His work seems to be in the interest
the common people and it is the
-cominoa people that put him there.
Charley is all right and we take pleas
:f, ‘ in extending him a hand of con
gratulation.
The Neighbor’s Children.
What shall be done with the neigh
bors' children? By neighbors’ child
ren we mean those who are given free
range between meals, with no regard
on their parent’s part as to their where
abouts or their companionship.
This condition exists in Lyons more
than in any other place we have ever
seen. At night we can see the little
boys, some not over 5 or 6 years old,
loafing the streets In the day time
after school hours they are numerous.
We often see them during school hours
and it is probable that they are then
playing “hooky.”
It may be out of place for us to write
on this subject, but we hardly believe
the parents of these loafing children
take a second thought. They don’t
know what they are raising them for.
Remember, parents, the heart-aches
come later. Tt may be pleasant to
get them out of your way now but lat
re’on you will regret the laxness you
have shown.
These young boys will some day
have the reins in hand, and don’t
you think, really, that the hands should
be trained to handle the reins? Think
the matter over and see if we are
not giving you good advice.
New Pressing Club.
I have opened a new pressing club in
my old barber shop in the rear of the
Toombs County Bank and I will have a
first class workman in charge. Old
clothes will be made to look good as
new. new clothes altered or repairing
done. Cleaning, dyeing and pressing
our specialties. Ladies’ skirts cleaned
and pressed and all work guaranteed.
I will have none except experienced
workmen and I will see that the place
of business is kept neat and clean and
not a loafing place. Give me your work.
T. R Walker, Proprietor.
Judge Mason decided last week to
call off the election and he has now
done so officially. He says that he has
found that the people are opposed to it
and he don’t think it is necessary to put
the county to the expense of an elect
tion to express that opposition. He
called the election in obedience to the
wishes of the last grand jury, and the
writer is under the impression that if
the people understood clearly what
bonds mean and just how little they
would cost the tax payers the issue
would be voted and the opposition
would melt. Webelieve that the
Judge has done right in calling off
the election, however, as there is no
necessity of putting the people to an
erpense that is sure to be an absolute
loss.
W. O. Donovan, who is at the head
of the new fertilizer factory at Yidalia,
was in the city Wednesday and he tells
us that his plant is getting a fair share
of the business. They are only mixing
this year hut they will be ready to
manufacture altogether before next
season and if they make a reputation
they will have to sell good goods. This
is a home concern and we hope that the
people of the county will give it liberal
patronage.
The base ball season is coming close
and we have new material this year
for a good team of players. Say, hoys,
get together, ele>*t you a manager that
will take interest in the team and you
will be able to give us some good
games this season. Claxton, Reids
vilie, Swainsboro, M -iter and several
other towns are getting ready and we
must he up in the push.
Superior Court is just two weeks off
now and we hope that the people will
get busy and arrange to take care ot
the visitors during the two weeks. It
is not a good idea to have people leave
the city during court even to hunt ac
commodation. The coming term is go
ing to be a specially busy one and we
; will have lots unpeople here during the
entire time.
Our friend Dan T. Gibbs has been
seriously ill for a few days with some
thing like erysipelas in the nose. He
! went to Savannah the other day and
! had a growth cut out of his nose and
after coming home it developed into
something like erysipelas We are glad
to say that he is better at this writing
and hope that he will soon be all right
again.
The ice season is getting close by
and we are getting anxious to know
who is going to take the matter in
hand this year. We must have good
ice service and our people must take
the matter up in time to see that
everything is right before the season
starts.
S. J. Brown purchased from Jas. F.
Kelly the other day a couple of lots
near the Trading Company’s cotton
ware house and he intends erecting on
them a ware house for seed and seed
