Brazzell, from down on the river, was in the city Tuesday, having returned from a trip down in south west Georgia. He waited here for his car and went out to bis home in the evening. Col. Goddard is fitting up his office in the McNatt building now and he is igoing to have a fine library. We be -Bieve he is going to make one of the most popular members of (he Toombs county bar. Col. Lankford got mixed up with a run-away horse a week or so ago and he is just getting so he can get about grood. lie had his right ankle sprain ed, but we are glad to say that it is getting all right again. Rev. Patterson, a progressive Prim itive Baptist minister, preached a good sermon at the Baptist church Tuesday •light. Rev. Patterson is a good talker and his interesting sermon was heard by a I arge congregation. Tax collector Harden is making a splendid record collecting the 1910 taxes. So far lie has not had to adver tise a single piece of property and in two districts his deputy has collected every fi fa except two or three and they had left the county. Harry Grimes, one of the automobile expert repairers, went to Savannah on a business trip Wednesday morning. The Grimes hoys are getting quite a fiot of work and they are giving good satisfaction. They moved into their new shop this week. J. Perry Brown asks the farmers not ®o buy too much flour of the 75 cent variety. He will receive a car load of the fine kind at 70 cents in a very few «iays. This flour he will sell at a reduc tion by the barrel. Save a nickel a sack t»v waiting a few days.—Ad. 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 J'rogress and he sells a line of goods •that will catch the trade. They are good goods, too. Hon. Chas. G, Edwards, our Con gressman, gets on the right side of many questions and he is doing some good work for the district. In the vote <on raising the salaries of United States Judges he took tiie stand that the first 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 cotton. THE LYO.Nb FiiO'JliESi;, FEBRUARY S lfcll.
