We are very sorry to hear that
young Mr. Willis, of Ohoopee, who
was operated on for appendicits
in Savannah last weelk, is not do
ing so well. His cstse'Wds a severe
one, but we hope that he will soon
recover.
Miss Alice Stewart and a son of
Mr. Ben Odom went to Savannah
Sunday with Dr. Bomar to be
treated for appendicitis. Itis very
probable that both of them will be
operatedon and we hope that they
will soon be able to return home.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown are

are glad to say that Mrs. Brown is
doing nicely.

S. J. Brown is.papa again and
this time it. is a fine boy. It has
turned Jordan’s head too, but
theiFoccasions of this kind are
calculated to cause ono to be a lit

that mother and child are both
doing fine and we extend congrat
ulations to our young merchant

L. Dewitt Osboriie suffered ter
ribly all the latter part of last
week and a portion of this week
with blood poison in his hand. He
was putting up some furniture and
knocked a little place on his
knuckle. The place became in- i
fected in a very little while and
but for quick attention it might
have been worse. vVe areglad
to say that Dewitt is nowget
ting all right again.
The editor went up to Rincou
the first of the week and went
over tlie great turpentine place
and farm of W. G. Oliver & Son.
This place is certainly fine,
located in a splendid agricultural
section, and Messrs. Oliver <fc Son
are working about twenty-two
crops of boxes, most of which are
virgin. They have fine houses,
twelve hundred acres of land on
which they have at least 500 acres
of round timber that has never
been cut out at all. They have a
fine still and a farm of over 100
acres, all ia fine shape. We found
Leroy Oliver and J. B. Johnson
both hard at work and they are
* enthusiastic over the future. This
J is certainly as fine a place as can
b be found \n Georgia and the new
owners were certainly lucky in
getting it.

Messdames R. M. Garbutt, R.
D McLeod and A. P. Thomas
went to Savannah last week to do
some special shopping,
We are after that college and
we must get together on the prop
osition. Let’s all put our should
er to the wheel this time.
Col. Giles is now riding around
in a fine Buick car and it is one
that he purchased in Toombs
county from Chas. A. Garbutt.
Tom \Valker, the barber, has
about as fipe a cabbage patch a9
we have seen in or around Lyonß.
His cabbage are heading nicely
and he is already offering them on
the. market. Tom is a hustler
anyway., .
Miss Rhetta Head and her
charming sister were in Lyons,
Wednesday working in the inter
est of the Macon News, These
young ladies both have friends
and their visit was a great
pleasure.
Turpentine men in the country
are having an inning of prosperity
now with spirits selling at over a
dollar a gallon and rosin at the
highest price ever known They
have something to make them feel
real good.
The railroad is using from 15,-
000 to 20,000 gaPons of water
every day from the Lyons plant
and it is said that negotiations
are now ori for the erection of a
regular station. Lyons has the
water and the Seaboard can get it
if they are willing to pay what it
is worth.
The Seaboard is getting rather
careless in the way it is treating
the people up and down the sth
divison. It don’t seem to care
how lfpng crossipgs are Jjlocked
and they are giving all kind of
trouble. By the time pne or two
of the engineers and couductors
pay the city $25 each for blocking
crossings they won’t be quite so
careless.; Mayor Smith says he
will stop the practice.
Dr. Brewtou, of the U. B. I. In
stitute, was in the city Sunday
and preached a splendid sermon
at the Baptist church. After the
sermon Dr. Brewtou mentioned
causually that it might be possible
that the male and female depart
ments of the U. B. I. would be
seperated at a very early date and
if Lyons wanted the female de
partment suitable propositions will
be considered by the college. Ly
ons wants the female department
of the U. B. I, and our people are
going to offer all they can. We
ure quite sure that a neat sum of
money could be raised for this
institution.
Mr. W. J. Findley, one of
Emanuel comity’s-best men, and
well known and liked in Toombs
county, died at his home in Oak
Park Tuesday and was buried in
the cemetery there Wednesday.
He had been suffering for several
months with something like heart
trouble and dropsy and his death
was not such a great surprise. He
was a prominent planter, a capi
i talist a.id took great interest in
building up the country in which
he lived. He was loved and hon
ored by all who knew him and his
great popularity wa9 shown by the
lurge crowd that followed his re
mains to there last resting place.
The Progress extends condolence
to his bereaved family. They
have lost their best friend and the
county has lost a noble citizen.
May his soul re9t. in pence.
