From Wilkinson Appeal, Toomsboro,
1875, Judge J. C. Bower, Editor.
Fish are caught in considerable
quantities at the mills of Judge Can
non near this place. They are mostly
suckers.
Mr N. A. Bruner, who sold out his
s ock in trade in this place a short
time since, has secured a partner to
engage in the photographic business
with him, and is provided with an
ample stock of chemicals and other
necessary outfit to prosecute success
fully his new undertaking, and will
commence the business in about three
weeks in the country.
The Irwinton jail sprung a leak a
short time since and the two remain
ing prisoners, John Crooms and Miles
Butler, colored, leaked out and ran
off and now the jail stands alone, a
monument of inefficiency and empti
ness.
Many of our citizen^ will regret
that Messrs Davis and Marks have
thought that their interest required
that they should move their stock and
business from this place to Midville.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr
George Johnson of the Macon Morn
ing Star while we were in Milledge
ville.
A Panorama of Bible scenes was
exhibited in this place on Thursday
night of last week.
Did any of you ever think of the
amount of travel it takes to raise a
crop of corn? 1 never saw an illus
tration in print, so I thought 1 would
give you one. 1 have a twenty acre
field, 40 xBO rods. To break this
up would take 165 miles, harrowing it
about forty miles, furrowing out 90
miles, planting 45 miles, if with a
planter, and if dropped and then cov
ered. ninety miles. Thus you see it
takes about eight or nine hundred
miles of travel to raise twenty acres
of corn, not counting going to and
returning from the field. Besides,
there are replanting, thinning, etc.
Curtis Shepherd

Mr and Mrs J. J. Shepherd, died on

We suggest some of the things cus
tomers may find at our store to help
make their shopping more enjoyable.
Shelter for the car, filling station ser
vice, store room comfortably warm,

fruits, candies, bread, cakes, crackers,
cold drinks, fresh milk, and appetizing
lunch items.

Every Day Goods for Winter
What to get for dinner seven days a
week with a little extra for Sunday is
a monotonous task this time of year.
It is easier to decide in the store where
you can see the different goods.
MISS ELLEN KING
Stop at the new Irwinton Hotel. Near all the stores.
Cement Burial Vaults
Coffins, Caskets; delivered if desired.

BURIAL GARMENTS
To the modern point ot view, it is illogical that burial garments
should differ very greatly in design and quality from the dress of
the living Yet funeral clothing has certain special reqirements
ordinary garments do not meet. The garments provided by us are
made solely for burial use, yet are attractive in style, of the finest
materials and modest in price.

forget the news you told me.
