Mr. Editor:—Mr. John Cruse and
family, who have been visiting relatives
here, have returned to their home in
Atlanta.
Mr. R. V. Webb visited relatives at
YVhitesburg last week.
Rev. E. H. McClure and wife have
been spending some time with rela
tives here.
Mrs. John M. Cotton has returned to
her home after a visit of several days
i to relatives in Alabama.
Messrs. A. P. Camp, B. M. Couth,
and YV. H. Dodds visited Chautauqua
Saturday and witnessed the fireworks
that night.
Mr. T. X. Bingham and wife and
Paul and Walter Bingham have re
turned from their Western trip. Mr.
Bingham bought a splendid farm of
over 200 acres of land while gone, and
he intends moving to it as soon as he
ean arrange to do so. We regret to
lose Mr. Bingham as a citizen, but in
case be gets moved to Texas, we wish
for him a happy and prosperous future.
Mr. J. T. Mayfield has built an ele
gant little barn, suitable for sheltering
cattle and storing roughage. He in
tends trying dairy farming and is going
at it in the right way.
We enjoyed a ride with our friend,
J. P. Camp, a few days since—riding
over the fields and looking at the fine
corn and cotton. Jim has some cotton
“as good as there is,’'and not a little of
it. I rode through some corn belong
ing to Mr. H. W. Camp that is the fin
est I ever saw. 1 believe it would av
erage ten feet high and every stalk bore
a good ear, while a great many had
two. Some of the oldest land in the
county is near that field of corn and
weeds are growing upon it too rank to
ride through. The secret of the land
being so rich is readily understood
when I tell you that it is properly ter
raced, worked in cotton, sowed in oats,
etc. We can have as good farming
lands in ' this county as anywhere by
taking care of them.
Dr. J. H. Hall delivered an able ser
mon at the Baptist church last Sunday.
An interesting meeting has been car
ried on this week by the pastor, Rev.
II. S. Rees, assisted by Messrs. A. I).
Freeman and Bernard Summers.
They have a new organ at the Bap
tist church, and Mass-, Belle McWil
liams’ services as organist this week
have been very much appreciated.
The gins are humming in our town
to-day, 29tli inst., Mr. John Bradbury
furnishing the cotton. The machinery
is in splendid order and everything con
veniently arranged. The rates are
low and-the ginning company are pre
pared to accommodate all their cus
tomers.
Miss Jennie Arnall, from Senoia, is
visiting friends and relatives here.
Messrs. E. X. Gamp and F. S. Cure-
ton are receiving the lumber for build
ing their new manufacturing and pack
ing house. It will be a nice structure,
two stories high. R. A. Ballard is the
contractor.
Dr. J. F. Thornton,, of Lutherville,
was here this week doing some dental
work. The Doctor is a clever gentle
man, and when he gets work to do it is
a sufficient advertisement for him.
The future outlook for our little place
is very promising. Mr. Cecil Gabbett,
accompanied by Supervisor Wilkins,
spent last Friday afternoon and night
here They located a place for the
depot and staked it off. We expect to
have a nice, ubstantial depot, because
Mr. Gabbett wouldn’t tolerate anything
else. There will be some changes made
in removing part of the coal dumps and
j extending the road coming into town
1 by Dr, Camp’s store, across the railroad
j track up to Church st reet. The engine
| room will have to be removed in order
; to make way for the side-track. Work
j will begin^at once toward building the
| side-track, so that the timbers for the
! depot may be put at the proper place
I and be out of the way. Tills is a long
felt need at Puckett’s, and I have no
{doubt will prove a profitable invest-
i rnent for the railroad. I guess the
! name •‘Pucketts” will be changed to
i something else, as it should be. Since
; the new church has been completed
the town should have a more desirable
name.
Mr. Arthur P. Camp and family, from
Meriwether, spent several days with
i relatives here recently.
! Dr. G. E. Camp and Uncle Jos. Couch
| went to Whitesburg Tuesday and pur-
i chased lumber to build a residence
* and the “warehouse” heretofore men
tioned. Zubetus.

little girl and boy. They are both im
proving, however.
Sunday’s services at Mt. Gilead were
conducted by Rev. J. B. Ilunnicutt, it

on the protracted meeting then in
progress at Turin.
Mrs. Henry Taylor, of Carroll, is vis
iting relatives in this neighborhood.

Notes from Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor : — To this immediate
neighborhood the recent rain was most
acceptable, nearly six weeks having
passed since we were favored with any
thing like a shower. The atmosphere
has this morning quite an autumnal
dash, which will, I suppose, hasten the
opening of cotton. Indeed, the dry
weather had caused a good deal to open
previous to the rain.
The waning of summer brings to an
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—Mr. John Waits and

Xo dangerous sickness in our commu

ent line about something to- eat—new
corn, potatoes, peas, goobers, persim
mons, chinquepins, etc.
As I write, a letter comes to hand
from Atlanta, dated August 25; stating
that Edgar Kelly was dying. How sad
it is to think that three brothers just
entering manhood should be cut down
—all promising to make useful citizens!
The ways of Providence are mysteri
ous.
Major T. F. Jones and myself made a
trip to Powell Station last Monday, and
got behind an almost entire home
raised dinner at Mr. D. A. Montgom
ery’s. The fried chicken was raised at
home, the corn bread, the roasting ears,
the potatoes, the milk and butter. The
flour was the only edible that was
bought. Lands are selling around die
Station at from $7 to $8 and $10 per
acre. The crops are the finest I Lave
seen. The soil is suitable for every
thing that can be grown in this couatry.
It will produce grains in as great abun
dance as the lands around Puckett3 and
Hampton. There is no reason why we
should not have a town there. Messrs.
Ira and Richard Smith are putting up
a large ginnery’ there and already have
a saw and shingle mill in operation.
There are two good churches near by
—Methqdist and. Primitive ^Baptist.
The Baptists are preparing to put up
a more commodious house of worship.
There are enough Missionary Baptists
in reach to organize a good church at
the Station if proper steps are taken-.
A good school coukl be built there.
The situation of the country is high and
healthy, being the dividing ridge be
tween the Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers.
All the big meetings are over and I
ain’t fat yet.
There was a good prosector through
this country last week. I learn that he
made some discoveries of the precious
metal on some of my neighbors” lands.
The public roads are being put in
good order. The hands took a vote on
the new road law and agreed to work
under the old road law. In Bibb coun
ty now property owners are exempt
from road duty, and their children are
educated at the public expense. It is
said that Bibb county has the best
roads of any county in the State, and
tliat all the best tenants of the adjoin
ing counties are moving into Bibb, for
the benefit of these advantages. Good
roads enhance the price of lands in any
country and builds up society; so the
price of the property thus gained more
than doubles the tax on the same.
Lands in Bibb county that sold for
three dollars per acre ten years ago now
command from twelve to thirty dollars
per acre. All this arises from the salu
tary local laws of Bibb county on the
public school and road questions. At
last, it is the poor, laboring class that
makes any county prosper, “Proteis
the poor.” should be the watchword
of legislators. Ripples.
Sbarpsburg.
Mr. Editor:—The farmers of this sec

Mr. Editor:—In giving a list of thus:
