S. B. Hudson's Sunday-school
has been without a teacher for
three months, and they decided
ro surprise Mr. Hudson Monday
night by calling to see him about
the matter, so fi e of the class
were there before bo knew any¬
thing about it,, and made him
promise to bo on hand next Sun¬

get along without him. Those of

We had thought some very
trivial cases wen 1 being tried in
Justice's courts in this county,
but from the following taken
from the fnvinfon Bulletin, Wil¬
kinson county is ahead of Worth:
“Some people in this county
yerVl’ee in a case where only a
lew cents are involved, before
they would compromise and pay
I2j cents, it is nothing unusual
for a case of forty or fifty cents
to be tried in our justice courts,
and very often they are appealed
to a jury. There is one case
where only thirty-live cents are
at stake, and the case has gone
through the justice court and is
now in the Superior court. No
doubt th<‘case will be carried to
t In* supreme court.”
Sheriff Roberts of Dooly county
passed through here ’’uesday
having under arrest, Robert, Har¬
ding of this county. lie is
charged, wo learn, with being
implicated iu the killingof a ped-
ler near Seville last, year. When
the body of the pedler was found
it was thought he had died a nat¬
ural death, but suspicion was
aroused and t,ho body exhumed,
wden evidence of death by vio¬
lence was found. The grand jury
indicted Harding on the charge
of being implicated in the kill¬
ing, but the officers could not, find
him until now, although he has
been living quietly in Colquitt,
county, and mat-rind since the al¬
leged murder was committed. He
is a brother of Joe Harding, who
married Bob Law’s sister.
Our new job press and type have
arrived, and we are prepared to
do ad kinds of commercial job
printing in a workmanlike man¬
ner, at live and let live prices. In
this connection we want to say a
word in regard to patronizing
foreign institutions. When you
want a job of printing done, re¬
member that you have a printing
office here at home, well-equipped
with presses and type, arid
manned with competent wormian.
These workmen patronize you in
vour busines: and the money
you pay us is expended here
at home. On the other hand, you
patronize a foreign institution
and pay your money and that’s
t,he end of it. Again, the home
paper is continually guarding
your interests, and it deserves
your support. As to prices, we
can and will compete with any

Asliburn has u very devout
chriffiun mail who is an amen

j night K *v. J. G. Flanders occupied
, ine pulpit at the Methodist chuiili
, ; and th-si.outer was there. . I he
rmon was a warm one, and
“amens” flow thick and fast. I lie
p.isoi. above alluded towas seeui-
i ugly enthusiastically interested^
and as the sermon progressed hu
lung power increased.
the preacher closed his bible and
said : “I believe I’ve preached
long enough, and I’ll quit.”
“Amen! A—men!!” was shout-
ed in a tone that would have
drowned the din of a boiler fac-
tory. The good Domine’s face
wasa study for a minute, but the
incident did not add anything to
the solemnity of the occasion.
The Irwin County News of last
week has the following: “The
quarterly conference in Decem¬
ber will round up a quarter of a
century of service as steward in
the Methodist church by Mr. K*
If. Smith of this place. During
that long period he has not missed
a quarterly conference, nor has
he failed in a single instance to
carry n)> Ins church’s full assess¬
ment. This is a remarkable rec¬
ord. Twenty-live years lacks only
twelve of being the average of
human life. When Mr. Smith
attends the quarterly conference
in December it will make the
one hundredth time that he has
thus represented his church. Nor
is the fact that he has never
failed to meet an assessment less
remarkable. We doubt if this
record of long, faithful and suc¬
cessful service has a parallel in
the history of the church north or
south. He speaks of retiring
after the quarterly conference in
December, but jfcmay be taken
for granted tharme will find the
church a unit against him in this
undertaking. His shoes would
be bard to till,”
Man’s humanity to man is one
of the noblest traits of man’s
character, though it sometimes
brings him to grief. Generosity
is a thing to be admired, and es¬
pecially so whim it is a gift to
those in authority. Our noble
sheriff has a firm heart, though
tender, and its tenderness
hVfAWgli flie escape of his prison¬
from jail. 'The cells and cage
had been completed and provided
with combination locks. These,
course, are prepared for des¬
perate criminals. The second sto¬
ry of the building is an open hall
with an iron door fastened on the
outside with a heavy lock and
staple. The sympathetic sheriff
let tho tenderness of his heart in¬
duce him to allow the prisoners
the freedom of ti e second floor,
taking due precaut ion against all
weapons of escape. Friday night
in Hie still hours of darkness an
enemy stole up the steps, prized
out Hu* hasp and let the prisoners
g'>- The two prisoners were Hteve
Carter, white, charged with cow
stealing, and General Gaskin,
colored, charged with rioting.
Sheriff Story is greatly worried
over the escape of his birds, and
blames himself for not putting
them behind the combination
locks in the cages. No serious
blame can be attached to the
sheriff, as the prisoners never
could have escaped without the
assistance of an outside party.
The Central City Carnival As¬
sociation of Macon, Ga., will hold
its first annual Carnival and
Trades Display October lltli and
12th. Extensive preparations
have been made, and no expense
saved to make this occasion one
of the grandest in the history of
Macon, Almost, every business
man of prominence in the city
lias agreed to enter the gorgeous
parade. The mayor and council
will head the procession, followed
by a grand floral display, The
services of the United States Ma¬
rine Baudot’ Washington, D. 0.,

give a grand concert the evening
of October 11th, and lead the
procession of October 12th, which
will wind up at Central City
Park, one of the most beautiful
parks in the South, where the
marvelous spectacle of running
two standard gauge engines to¬
gether will be witnessed. There
has never been an exhibition of
this kind in this section before,
and there is no likelihood of there
being another. No man, woman
or child can afford to miss it. It
is confidently expected that over
50,000 people will see it. Theen-
gines will have a mile start on a
perfectly level track, and come
together 850 yards from the spec¬
tators, thereby assuring perfect sell
safety. All railroads will
