Mr. Editor:—If the saying holds good
that “extremes follow each other,”
then we may expect a very severe win
ter: for we are of the opinion that, take
the summer so far, the weather lias
ne’er been more oppressive. If we
were dependent upon the incubating
process for ideas, they ought to hatch
spontaneously during such weather as
we are now having; and we will take it ]
for granted that one of the local edi
tors of the Macon Telegraph, of August
7th, had his mental incubator under
very high pressure when he wrote up
that weather local, and then wanted to
know if it was a blizzard. There was
no blizzard. lie was mistaken. He had
just got into the “Tom and Jerry” de
partment, and-was cooling off.
We have had tine rains here, but
some farmers near us have had no rain
in three weeks and their crops are be
ginning to suffer badly. Hope they
will have rain soon.
Our town has suffered the loss of two
of her citizens lately, llobert Iverson
died some two weeks ago. He was one
of our noblest young men, a true. Chris
tian, and his death was a public loss;
for he was highly esteemed by all. He
was our friend, and our sympathy, with
that of his many friends, is tendered
his brother and family.
Mrs. Allen died, in her 77th year,
at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Emma Free, last week and was buried
in the cemetery at Haralson. Rev. J.
W. Stipe preached the funeral there.
At this writing Mr. TV. F. Sibley is
very low, but his condition is more
hopeful.
Frank, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.
M. A. Shields, has been seriously ill
for some days. We hope for a favora
ble chang!soon.
Miss Lula Belle Towns, accompanied
by her cousin, Miss Annie Swanson,
of LaGrange, are visiting friends and
x-elatives in Atlanta.
Mr. and Mrs. J. 13. Towns left yes
terday for Sanford, Fla., their future
home. Our best wishes go with this
newly married couple.
Mrs. W. P, Maxwell and family, of
Montezuma, will spend some time here.
They are stopping with Mr. and Mrs,
Fuller, 0
Mr, and Mrs. F. D. Bloodworth, Of
Savannah, are here and may spend the
balance of the summer with relatives
and friends in our town. They are
with Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Brantly.
It has been rather gently intimated
that we are about to grow some politi-'
cal pin-feathers. We only allude to
this thing in order to disabuse the
minds of any of our distant friends,
who may have such a notion; for we
are no politician, nor do we exercise
ourself much about politics or politi
cians; no further than to read some of
the newspapers, to measure up some of
the little candidates, and to vote for
only such as are, in our judgment, best
qualified to fill the sacred trust sought
for. Should our days be prolonged on
the earth, we wish here to say, in order
to save any future trouble on the part
of political aspirants, that it is the
rule of our life whenever we are asked
for our vote the applicant is certain not
to get it, We claim to have just enough
common sense to know who we con
sider competent to fill the position de
sired. We hold further, that a large
majority of the voters of this county
are intelligent, and well qualified to
pass upon the merits and demerits of
any of the would be representative
men, and that it is wrong and out of
place for candidates to be boring them
for their suffrages. Time is too valu
able, and the labor could be better em
ployed elsewhere. Vincent.

The ladies of the Church and Aid So
ciety are now offering their silk quilt
for sale, and it will be on exhibition at
the new church next Monday and Tues
day. There are some members of this
Society who deserve a great deal of
praise for their untiring efforts in be
half of the new church. It being im
possible to get the new seats for the
church by the 11th inst., the seats from
the old church will be used and servi

urday and Sunday, and as long there
after as the meeting may continue.
Quarterly meeting will be held on
Monday, and Rev. W. F. Pierce, pre
siding elder, will be here several days
during the meeting.
Of all the social gatherings of the
season the pic-nic at Mr.E.C.Cureton’s

the dinner certainly know how to cook.

Mr• Editor: — The Chattahoochee
Musical Convention met at Macedonia
church August 2d, 1888, and was called
to order by the former chairman. Af
ter singing and prayer by I. M.
Shell, an introductory lesson was led
by Brother B. R. Ayers, followed by
Brother .J. H. Lipscomb. Then came a
recess of one hour, after which the
Convention re-assembled and read let
ters from schools and other musical
associations. Election of officers fol
lowed, resulting in the selection of
J. P. Reese, president; I. M. Shell;
vice-president; J. -H. Newton, secre
tary. The various committees were
appointed and the day was spent in
solemn praise.
The delegates comprising this Con
vention came from the counties of Cow
eta, Meriwether, Spalding, Fayette,
Heard, Troup, Carroll, Douglas, Har
alson and Polk, and many of them are
fine vocalists as well as good composers
of music. The Convention was very
harmonious through the entire session,
and the music was as good as human
voices could make it. Often could the
rejoicing tear be seen flowing down the
cheeks of the congregation, while
beams of radiant joy could be traced
on many faces.
One of the saddest scenes I ever
witnessed was the funeral services of
John Henry Hyde, which took place
while the Convention was in session.
Just a week ago, lacking one day, the
remains of his youngest brother, Willie
W. Hyde, were brought from Talla
poosa, Ga., and interred at Macedonia,
and on last Friday John Henry’s re
mains were brought from the same lit
tle town and laid by the side. of his
dear brother. The scene was enough
to melt the most obdurate heart. To
see an aged and helpless father, who
can’t walk without the aid of a staff,
and an emaciated, heartbroken moth
er, with their sobs of grief and wails
of weeping; but the saddest of all, was
to see two poor, frail widows and tlieir
three little helpless children left in
great destitution—their husbands, pro
tectors and supporters taken away in
the youth of their manhood, and their
bodies laid low in the grave, never more
to be seen by their little and loved ones.
Any one seeing this notice and feeling
a desire to help these poor, heartbroken
widows can do so by sending the same
to me or to H. C. Arnall, at Newnan.
The funeriil services were conducted by
Rev. W. W. Cannieal, while the Con
vention sang that mournful song, “Oh,
-ing to me ol Heaven, when I am call
ed to die.” The old and afflicted peo
ple of these families, John and Susau
Hyde, I learn, are now ljing very low,
from nervous prostration occasioned
by the loss of their two sons.
Mr. EditorThe singing conventioir
that met at Macedonia is over and every
body happy. The best thing the conven
tion did was to raise a contribution ©1
815 for the destitute widows and or
phans of William and J. II. Hyde, win-
died within a week of each other. Out
deep sympathy urges us to say tbai
every man of means in the count}
should help these poor widows.
We are all well pleased with tin

We have had plenty of rain and crop-

It is now time to be looking around
for a good crop of county officers, and
1 would suggest a few names:
W. II. Persons for Ordinary.
G. H. Carmical for Sheriff,
Daniel Swint for Clerk of the Supe
rior, not the City, Courr.
J. IT. Summers for Tax Collector.
Hi Mr. Summers’ case we should
