S. Jones, a citizen of the thriv ing village of Turin, was here Friday garnering the air into his "Acorn” lamps, ami making a white light that would cause the noontide sun to hiush for want, of a better lighting appara tus. There were formerly two ele ments supposedly free to internal im provement l>y man . hut, alas ! the cu pidity of inventive genius sells both! Then what an* you going to do for free air and free water lunches? There’s hut one way, (and that belongs to fu turity,) cheek your spiritual baggage for the New Jerusalem. War is now being waged between <ien. Green, who commands the crab- gras.-- brigade, and the cotton farmer. I’he General insists it is cheaper to raise hay than cotton —hay being the most profitable crop. Hut the cotton- raiser assaults the General all along the line, claiming that if his cotton crop should be absorbed by the home- raised hay market he'd have nothing to break his hack over. Miss Daisy Harris spent Saturday and Sunday with the family of her father, Uov. Geo. D. Harris. f.Dw city school board shows its es thetic taste by having the building thoroughly renovated, and charming tints now adorn the several school rooms, At her elegant home on the Boule vard do Roma, Mrs. Frank Weems en tertained the Willing Workers, an ad junct to our local Baptist Foreign Mis sionary Society. It is reported that the good sisteren gave the honorable Sage of Thomson, Ga., (Tom Watson) an el egai.t roasting for remarks he had been making anent dimes and dollars sent the heathen Chinee and other ochre- hued orientals. Paste him again, sis ters! Let’s teach him to attend to his Third Party broth, and not meddle with our kettle of tish that is cooking be yond the placid waters of the Pacific. He falls a lightin'. Some people might say that ex-Gov. Smith is an au tocratic, vindictive personage. There are others who insist that his ex-excel- leney hath nothing but the fear of the Lord before his eyes and an abiding de sire to promote the pro bono publico. The fact that he was hoist with his own petard as a result of discharging a ltailroad Commissioner a couple of years ago does not deter him from tir ing another Commissioner whose acts do not conform to his views and wishes. The last dischargee, Hon. Guyt McLen don, replaced the present Governor on the Railroad Commission, who was discharged for not acting in con formity to the wishes of the mild- mannered Governor that was. Well, Guyt, you took the job, and promised both the people and the Governor you’d give Atlanta port rates or bust. Did anybody take you on' “top of the mountain” and show you things, or was it that you rended an old master to placate a new one? Guyt, beware of trying tu ride two political horses at one time, lest you fall between them. As the retiring Governor is persona non grata with the legislative body, pos sibly you may hold your job by the grip of your eyelashes. -We are going to put a crimp in both the Atlanta and Macon fairs this fall, by way of showing the farmers what the A. & M. School of the Fourth Congressional district can do in getting up a premium list, and agricultural, live stock, and other displays. In furtherance of this worthy move the Carrollton Board of Trade met on the 22d ult. to discuss ways and means. The following committee was appointed by President Chas. E. Hoop: Prof. J. H. Melson, chairman, J. L. Heaton, J. A. Maudeville. H. P. Kelly. W. J. Millican, B. B. Thomasson, R. W. Ad amson and A. K. Snead. The province of the foregoing committee is to form ulate plans, ways and means. The fol lowing standing committees were also appointed: On Attractions—J. H. Mel son; on premiums- A. K. Snead, W. J. Millican and-R. W. Adamson; on finance for Carroll-J. A. Murrah; on finance for Carrollton—J. A. Maudeville and J. L. Heaton; on publicity H. P. Kelly and B. B. Thomasson It should he the purpose and pride of every county in the district to make the fair such a success as will be gratifying to all the people of the Fourth district. The Carrollton platoon of G com pany, 5th Ga., N. G., will soon be off to camp at St. Simon’s, or some other seaport town. The boys make a fine showing, and there’s no reason why Carrollton should not have the whole company. It’s an accepted fact that the minds of great men run somewhatly in the same channel. Mr. T. Jefferson, who invented the Constitution of this repub lic, also built a hole in his door for the big cats and a smaller one for the lit tle kittens. Dr. ,1. B. Camp, whose originality is only second to that of the Wizard of Menlo Park, built a splendid | gate, like those one sees about the j walls of Damascus, and ornamented with a triumphal arch like that at Bar celona. The gate has an automatic de vice ;—touch the button and she flies wide open on greased hinges. But this did not suffice. The Doctor is a coven- ience-loving man. The big gate was all right for buggies and wagons, but he thought the wheelbarrow deserved some consideration also, so he cut a smaller gate in the middle of the big one for the wheelbarrow man and his team of Rocky Mountain billies. The small gate adorns the big one as does a basket hat a dainty damsel. —Miss Leila Adamson, who has been spending a week or ten days in Atlanta, returned home Saturday. —Mrs. A. 0. Haile and brother, Mr. Jos. H. Croft, have returned from Bluffton Springs, after a ten-days’ stay. -Mrs. Geo. Tumlin, of Decatur, re turned home Thursday, after a week’s visit to Carrollton relatives. Mr. L. A. Conner, of Bainbridge, a former popular ticket agent here, ar rived Sunday. 11 is wife and children, who have been visiting her mother, Mrs. E. R. Sharpe, returned with him Monday. Miss Edna Cook has as her guest, Mrs. R. 1,. Yancey, of Hattiesnurg, Miss., who arrived in the city Monday. Master Clay and Miss Adolph Cov ington, of Atlanta, will spend the sum mer with their grandmother, Mrs. Jen nie Smith. —We hear of lively times at Borden- Wheeler springs. The opening ball, which occurred Friday, attracted (juite a number of our society people— among others. Miss Marie Bradley and Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Boykin. —Mr. Sam Brock, a State University student, has returned home, accompa nied by his sister, Ruth, who attended the recent commencement exercises of the University. It is said a Jersey bull is a had ac tor when turned loose on the public highway; a vicious dog has a few idio syncrasies not in harmony with human alves; an infuriated woman has a way of making the breeches-wearing con tingent scoot;—hut a combination of all these with the mean qualities of a Tasmanian devil thrown in to round off a sure-enough bad actor, and you have a few of the villainous qualities of the red-headed scorpion leastwise that’s the impression one gets from what Judge J. H. Barron tells of this fulmo nut# anthropod. A few days ago he and a friend (a six-footer who kicks the beam at 200 pounds,) were going through the woods to determine some land lines. As they passed a hollow tree a big red-headed scorpion, ten or twelve inches in length, jumped upon the big man, who knocked him off and passed on, thinking no more of the circumstance. Half an hour or so later the big man began to twitch his shoul ders. as though something had invaded the inter-scalpular space the point you can’t scratch when it itches. Suddenly he fell upon his allfours and began to caper around in a most ludicrous and unaccountable manner. He shot up to a perpendicular and began to fling his clothes from him. After pulling off his coat and shirt, the scorpion was found tangled up in the folds of his under shirt. lhe Judge gallantly assaulted the reptile and knocked it from its moorings; but quicker than thought it jumped upon its victim. It was again removed, but kept jumping viciously at the man, who danced the can-can, and did several measures of the "highland tling” to keep the lizard from climb ing his bifurcated masts. It was final ly killed, and a more hideous monster doesn’t inhabit the woods. The scor pion-ridden one. after the performance, reached back into his soap-pocket and removed a leather-covered vessel, and sucked from it a few gurgles of the contents. He still lives, hut is only a shadow of his former self. —Dr. J. D. Hamrick attended the Opticians’ Association in Atlanta last week. —Mr. Edgar Johnson, who took his degrees in pharmacy at the State Uni versity. has accepted a position with an Atlanta drug house. —If Gov. Smith had remained in of fice six months longer he’d have throt tled the good roads movement by turn ing all the convicts out of the "gang. ” A day or two before his time was up for directing how things in Georgia should be conducted, he pardoned a life convirt from Henry county, Wm. Young, who was one of Warden Sharp’s pets. — Misses Ethel Carroll and Christine Fitts have returned from Atlanta, where they spent a couple of days. "Little Joe,” the big Democratic Governor of Georgia, has led the peo ple back to simple Jeffersonian meth ods of making a two-year Governor. The spectacular demonstration of two years ago that marked the inauguration of Gov. Smith had no place in the sim ple and unostentatious ceremony of the 26th of June. Gov. Brown has set the pace for safe and sane Democratic office-holders, and those who be clothed with a “little brief authority” should remember that they hold their official station by the will of the voters, and that the people are not disposed to apotheosise a job lot of office-holders. No, no; not yet! The services at the Christian church closed Thursday evening. The meeting had been in progress for three weeks, conducted by Dr. L. D. Colyer, an eminent South Carolina divine. Much good has been effected by the zealous work of Dr. Colyer.

Each young lady will receive one vote, and the money will be turned over to the chairman of the contest. —The third annual session of the Carroll County Masonic Convention met at the lodge hall Thursday morn ing, with quite a large attendance. All the county lodges were represented and the convention proved a grand suc cess. There is no county in the State that can make a better showing than do the Carroll masons. The conven tions grow in popular favor each year. Col. R. W. Adamson arid others made addresses. -Mrs. L. M. Turner visited Hogans- ville Thursday. She was accompanied on her return by her mother, Mrs. Loftin, who will spend a week or ten days here. -After a ten-days’ visit to Newnan and LaGrange, Miss Elma Boykin re turned home Tuesday. , Mrs. A. R. Benton, of Donaldson- vi 1 le, is spending the week with Mrs. A. K. Snead. —Misses Helen and Martha Brown are attending the Brenau Summer School and Chautauqua at Gainesville. Miss Helen will take a physical culture course, preparatory to assuming the role of physical culture teacher in city public schools next term. -Mr. A. K. Snead, cashier of Citizens' Bank of Carrollton, was cently elected president of group to# to# the Georgia Bankers’ Association. Mr. Snead was raised in this county, and we feel proud of his standing in flank ing circles. He succeeds W. S. With- am. one of the best-known bankers of the State. Fayetteville News. —Misses Alice Weems and Sadie Merrell, two of Carrollton’s most charming young ladies, are visiting in Atlanta and Anniston, Ala. —Miss Kate Edmondson, of Waco, Texas, is the summer guest of Mrs. Ernest Kramer. - Mrs. J. A. Lifsey is visiting rela tives in McDonough this week. The Rome Tribune-Herald goes into conniptions over “another valua ble asset—the mocking bird”—which it has come to recognize as part and parcel of our floating or flying obliga tions. It is a fact that the bleak hills and dales of the North, the East and far West do not boast this charming warbler. But the fruit-growers of the South pay pretty dearly for the sweet songster’s whistle. He can mock any thing that chirps- from a spring lizard to a locomotive. He performs best in the cool of the afternoon, as he sits in a tree full of ripe cherries, or makes his perch ’mid clustering, purple grapes. Every time he warbles a tune he gulps a dozen cherries or a bunch of grapes. He’s like the crane that swal lowed the live eel—the fruit won’t stay swallowed; the consequence is, he puts the grapes and cherries through his ci der-mill at an alarming rate. He’s rather a costly ornament. I’d rather have a drove of bee martins than one mocking bird, because the bee martin is a good hawk-hunter, while the latter is only a dress parade glutton. —After a week’s visit to Moreland friends Miss Mae McDaniel has re turned home. —Miss Rilla Cole, a charming bit of Bremen femininity, is visiting friends here. — Miss Katie Lou Thomasson has re turned from an Atlanta sanatarium, w here she spent a couple of weeks. — Mrs. Geo.
