Mr. Editor:—Light frost was report ed in various localities last Saturday morning, and at this writing we have a cold east wind that is very blighting to young vegetation. Last Wednesday p. m., in the neigh borhood of Parker’s mill, there was a terrible fall of rain and hail. The hail covered the ground to the depth of one or two inches. The young corn and garden vegetables were literally beaten to peiees, and what little fruit escaped the freeze was thrashed off the trees. Fortunately it was not very extensive. Judge 15. F. Cock had the misfortune to lose a fine mule last week—making the fourth one lost in four years. They cost him five hundred and eighty-five dollars. These are some of the losses and troubles that the farmer has to contend with, but he is not alone, as there are drawbacks incident to all en terprises. Mr. Lat Gray, while driving through town the other day in his buggy, in making a short turn both he and the buggy were upset—somewhat on the hatter-cake order. No damage was done. Mr. Tommy Carlton’s fine horse was badly snagged in the breast last night. While not seriously injured, he will lose his services for the next three or four week% which at this season of the year is a great inconvenience in farm work. Prof. J. E. Thornton has a very good writing class here at this time. Chir ograph vis regarded as one of the es sentials in business, and I would like to see a more general interest taken in it. We know whereof we speak; for we sometimes have to write to our better-half and she has to employ aid to decipher it. Our pen productions and pancakes are best while warm. This reminds me of two errors ip. my letter last week. In writing up the memorial services in regard to Col. Hardy, in giving the names of the committee, our copy gave the name of Mrs. C. A. Green, which should have lieen Mrs. A. C. Fall. In our comments upon the moral excellence of character, etc-., we said, or were made to say, “in seeking the cause we should go to the ceruse,” which should have read “source.” We try to avoid tautology. Drs. J. P. Taylor and F. M. Brantly are attending the annual session of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Macon this week. Mrs. M. II. Couch is visiting her daughter, Miss Susie Pearl Couch, this week. Miss Susie is a pupil at Shorter College, Pome, Ga. Perhaps some further thoughts upon church behavior (or, should we write misbehavior?) might come in very wel 1 occasionally; not that we desire to engage in the wholesale business of mote-picking, but merely as reminders. This is the spring season of the year, and with many the spring-time of lire, i we ate young but once,) and some are full of exuberant feeling. No doubt this feeling of exuberancy is rather hard to control. So, it is not very un usual for young people when they go to church to try to make a display of person, dress, or something else, and. much to the regret of older heads, they sometimes succeed. Our purpose now is only to caution all such that when they go to the house of God, to be qui et, and respectful to the minister, to themselves, and to every one else; to avoid all talking and whispering, and to write no notes until next week. If you fail in respect to these things the words of the wise man might apply very appropriately. Hear him: “Keep thy* foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools; for they consider not that they do evil.” The admonition might fit some of both sexes. We rather think we can sniff the scent of an exhilirating subject fur next week—located a few miles up the railroad—with the pleasures of the sub ject largely left out. Vincent. April 25th.

Bearfield, of this S lac-e. and Mr. Robert McBride, of lewnan, members of the “Palmetto Progressive Angling Club,” returned last Saturday from a fishing expedition to Cole’s Station, Ala. By special in vitation of the club, Dallas Collins, of Fairburn, our popular Sheriff, was also of the party. They met with wonder ful success. The entire haul was S17 lbs. of fish, including a monster stur geon weighing 102 pounds, and an alli gator 104 feet in length and weighing 365 pounds. A number of fine cats were taken weighing from 5 to 25 pounds. The alligator and sturgeon, together with a large quantity of other fish, arrived here last Saturday morn ing on the early train. As a great many of our people had never seen either an alligator or a sturgeon, and this being a free exhibition, the depot was crowded pretty much all day. Old Uncle Warren Phillips, (colored) came and looked at them awhile in utter as tonishment, and remarked; “1 see no more use praying; the devil and his oldest son are dead.” This is the same old darkey who, at the time of the earthquake in 18S6, “heard Cuba fall in.” I believe it is conceded that Rob ert McBride and Wesley Barfield are the champion fishermen of the P. P. A. Club, ax they, without assistance, tack led and landed the monster alligator. Very few men would have displayed the nerve, skill and courage which they did under the circumstances. The ’ga tor was skinned and alligator steak put on the market* late Saturday evening, However, the supply exceeded the de mand. The hide is in possession of W. II. Hanley, a member of the club. He proposes to have it stuffed. It will be the beginning of a museum of curiosi ties collected by the Angling Club on their travels. Some members of this club will go soon to St. Andrews Bay, Fla., on a fishing excursion. Mr. T. J. Bullard and Fred Smith went to the Chattahoochee, fishing, last week. They caught 197 fish, some of them very fine ones. Mr. Arthur Hutcheson left Palmetto for New York on Wednesday morning. He proposes to lay in a more extensive stock than usual for his different places of business. As Mr. S. W. Lang, Tax Receiver, was returning from Sandtown last week, he met a mad-dog near Deep Creek. Mr. Lang thinks the dog would have bitten his mule had he not at tacked and driven it off with a stick. Mrs. Marie I). Johnston, of Glen Cave, Long Island, died in Atlanta, at the residence of her son, Mr. R. H. Johnston, (formerly of this place) on the 16th of this month. She was bur ied at Floral Hill Cemetery, Palmetto, on tlie 17th. Mrs. R. H. Johnston and Miss Emily Weeks, of Glen Cove, I.. I., spent, last week in Palmetto, guests of Mrs. M. M. Smith. Nemo. April 24th. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Miss Mav Gay. from near Ilogansville, has been visiting friends here. Miss Emmie Hmdsman accompanied her home and will be gone several days. Messrs. Walker G. Camp and IV. A. Brannon have gone to Esom Hill on a visit. Some attraction over there for ( Mr. Brannon, as the better half of him self has been over there for several weeks. Mr. Jake Addy and son, Geter, from Senoia, made a quick stay here Tues day. We did go seining last week, hut Mr. Speight Sims must have read my last letter to the fish near his house; they surely did go to the river or some other place for safety, as only a small col lection of tlie finny tribe were captured. Quite a hungry set gathered around the supper and “fish gravy,” who did tlie subject justice. For further par ticulars, I refer you to our president, Mr. Raz Brown. All-day singing and dinner at Beth lehem church Sunday, 29tli inst. Messrs. John B. McClure and J. C. Brannon had business in Atlanta this week. We’ll watch for a second-hand suit of clothes soon. Uncle Joe Couch opened out his strawberries last Monday, 23d inst., at 25c. per quart. The crop will be limited if the dry weather continues very long. Dr. Camp was unfortunate in losing a tine bred colt this week. The continuous sound of the carpen ter’s hammer reminds us of prosperity and a pretty church, which is nearing completion. Mr. J. T. Mayfield has recently pur chased of Dr. G. E. Camp a beautiful building lot, containing five acres of land, which he intends improving and building on right away. Mr. E. X. Camp’s youngest son can not vote during the present century. It will be 1909 before he is 21 years old. Messrs. P. B. and W. II. Bingham spent last Sunday at home. “Doc” wants to know who it is that substitutes himself for a chicken anil tries to make him believe that nine o’clock is mid night? The report comes from ill - . Bob Car- mical’s neighborhood that they have an “animal, beast, varmint, or some thing ovt-r there, killing all the dogs in the community.” i't lias been seen !>y some responsible persons, who describe it as having “a long, wavy mustache, about the size of a common dog, hair on one side, wool on the other: his front feet like a hog’s, the others like a cat’s.” I reckon his ears are like a mule’s and his tail like a horse’s. “Zubetus” is responsible for what he writes, voluntarily, but not for what he hears. Walter Bingham was seriously sick this week. Glad to report him better. Palmetto Sunday-school is expected to picnic here on Friday, May4th. The school here will join them and every effort will be made to make it a day of enjoyment. A dwelling on Dr. J. T. Reese’s plan tation, in Meriwether county, was burned yesterday afternoon. The house was occupied at the time by Mr. Pal , who succeeded in saving most of his household effects. The fire was accidental. Messrs. Joe Couch and E. N. Camp shipped forty-eight quarts of straw berries to Atlantajto-day—thejfirst fruit shipment of the season. Zubetus. April 26th. SharpEburg. Mr. Editor:—Some of our farmers are getting through planting cotton and plowing corn. As far as, we have been able to observe, there* are generally good stands of corn up. Most of our farmers have planted largely of corn this year. We are glad to note this spirit among the farmers. Too many of our people have their corn cribs in Cincinnati, and their smoke-houses in Chicago. Our people are neglecting to make their own supplies. M e hear the cry of hard times from some quarters and it seems to baffle the profound wisdom of our philosophers to render a reason why the people of the South, especially the farmers, are in debt. It is a fact, (and facts are stubborn things,) that a great many of our people are not making a living. Why is all this? The weather has been quite cool the last few mornings. Dr. R. W. North spent several days in Atlanta last week visiting his daughter, Mrs. Allie Love. He returned Friday and has been very ill ever since. Mrs. .J. Oliver, of Hogartsville, is visit ing her sister, Mrs. Mary Jones. Sir. J. J. Farmer is on his ronnds re ceiving taxes. Prof. A. S. Jones has had his house nicely painted. Mrs. E. Cole can walk without tha aid of her crutches. Midas Haines, who has had fever, is improving. Mrs. J. Billingsly, from Philadelphia, Tenn., is visiting her brother, Mr. Thos. Bohannon. Mr. A. S. Jones has just received a large stock of new goods. Joe Cole has secured a position as clerk in the Coweta Co-operative Store. Mr. Paul Pitman clerks in the same house on Saturdays. Mrs. A. Beavers, of Newnan. has been visiting her mother, Mrs. R. A. North. Mis- Kate Glass spent last Satur day and Sunday visiting her bruther, Mr. James Glass, in Newnan. Mr. W. B. Orr has been quite sick, but is better now. Mrs. Angelina Lumpkin has been visiting relatives in Newnan. She re turned to-day. Mrs. Mary Bridges has had her yard inclosed, which adds very much to tin beauty of the premises. Hon. Luther Moses spent a few days here last week. Mrs. Alice-Tones and Mrs..]. J. North spent several days last week in your city last week visiting Mrs. Etta Moses. Mr. Egbert North, of your city, spent a few days here last week. Mrs. Julia North is very much a fillet ed with erysipelas in her face. Prof. J. R. Bohannon, of Fairburn. has closed his school and is superin tending his father’s farm. Our school is flourishing. B. C. April 25th. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—I learn that an old col ored man named Jack Maghee, who was subject to fits, was drowned in tlie Chattahoochee river, neariHuteheson’x mills, on last Friday. Its seems that he was fishing, and while out in the river was seized with a spasm and fell from his batteau into tlie water and was drowned. The body was recovered the same day. I am not informed whether the coroner held an inquest or not. Mrs. Elizabeth Gurley, an aged lady of this district, was stricken with par alysis on last Thursday, and is in a crit ical condition at this writing. Mrs. C. Sewell is in very feeble health. Mrs. ,1. R. Thurman is quite sick. Miss \\ itt Moseley, who has been teaching school in Campbell county, has come home to enjoy the vacation months. Miss Percie Palmer has suspended her school until the first of July. A monthly prayer-meeting was or ganized at Macedonia last Sabbath evening and will meet on the fourth Sabbath in each month. Our Farmers’ Alliance club is grow ing very rapidly, and a big day and a good dinner is just ahead. Fly swiftly around, ye committee, and bring the promised feast. I learn that Professor J. B. Alien’s school will picnic about the first of May. Roll on, sweet moments, roll on, and let this poor mortal be there with appetite in trim. As I am one of the committee to so licit carcasses and other provisions for the soldier’s reunion, I will sav to the citizens of Panther creek district, and to the ladies, too, that I will be around to see them soon; so make up your mind whether you will give shote. ox, yearling, goat, sheep, chick en, turkey, and the amount of home-made bread and cake you will ■subscribe. You should all feel that you are honoring those who once de fended your homes and firesides. A difficulty occurred at Jones’ Chapel, colored, last Sunday night, between Boh Summerlin and Ed. Price, both colored, in which rocks and knives were used pretty freely. Price received ay severe cut in tlie side and a hard blow on tlie head, while, barring a few rock bruises on his head, Summerlin was not hurt much. Roth heads are rock proof. Dr. John Starr dressed the wounds of Price, hut doesn’t think them serious. Ohl-ficld strawberries are getting ripe, and soon we will have new pies. There is a young lady in this neigbor- liood who laughs, she says, because she is neither dead nor married. I expect i here are lots of poor women who would laugh if they were only single. We are all-over Atkinson folks for •L- Legislature, f speak only for Mrs. “Hippies” and myself, hut these are the sentiments of many others, also. April 23d. Ripples. Turin. Mr. Editor:—Your reporter, a few days since, had the pleasure of ming ling with friends in and around Line Greek cl lurch, in Fayette county. Tin: Farmer’s Alliance seems to be under good headway in that vicinity; for there are a number of lodges organiz ed and actively at work. An influen tial gentleman remarked that many were joining the Alliance, some from proper motives, and others from inten tions best known to themselves. There is where the trouble comes into every organization men may start. When men know that an organization has a specific object in view, and that that is the main thing contemplated, they act in very had taste to impose them selves upon and deceive those who have an honest purpose in view, and take a solemn oath that thev will heartily support the things for which, in truth, they really care nothing. Such con duct is both a shame and a wrong. Honest convictions should characterize every action of a man’s life; all else is hut deceit, and a fraud. The farmers of the vicinity named complain of being behind and late with their planting. It is here that Hon. William Brown, an ex-member of the Lower House oi the Georgia Legislature, lives. His many friends will he pained to know that he has almost lost his eyesight and can scarcely see his way. This painful affliction was brought on by exposure during the Confederate war. The people of Fayette speak well of their present member of Congress, and indicate a willingness to try him a second term. We met here a gentleman from an adjoining county whom others said was in quest of a wife, and the impression seemed to he well grounded that there would soon be “two souls made one.” Mr. James Brown has ten married children, seven sons and three daugh ters, and three more to dispose of. If Editor Brown could offer such a record his chance would he good for the Leg islature, for a man’s chances for office depend upon something he has done. Mr.-. W. W. Camj), of Turin, is pri pared to fit and make dresses, guar anteeing satisfaction, and will work as low as can he done elsewhere. No neater hand is engaged in the business. Prof. Moses will close his school Fri day. Rev. Mr. Sanders and Rev. J. B. Ilun- nicutt went up to hear “the third par ty man” last Monday. Mr. Will Ingram and Master Charley Rees are taking care of a special case of mumps this week. Mr. Thomas Drake is in feeble health, from over-work and age. Mrs. “R. A. T.” has strawberric this week, and they are just fine with cream, sugar aud wheat hoe-cake. R. A. T. April 25th.
