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.

It has turned Jordan’s head too, but theiFoccasions of this kind are calculated to cause ono to be a lit tle daffy. We are proud to know that mother and child are both doing fine and we extend congrat ulations to our young merchant prinde. I 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.

' Mrs. 1 M. 0. Walker «vnt to Sa vannah last Sunday morning and sin* will spend a week with friends and relatives > I * j, • . i 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.
