Farmers are beginning to haul fer
tilizer out to the farms and active farm
ing operations will start within a few
weeks now. The splendid condition of
the roads of Baldwin county makes it
, quite an easy task for the farmers to
| get their guano hauled. Inspection of
the county roads shows that every sec-
^ tion is in excellent shape and heavy
j loads can be easily hauled.
I The prospects for beginning the new
i farming year were never better am!
j Baldwin county farmers will start with
' high hopes. It is cmite pleasing to m to
, that a quantity of spring grain and a
j big corn crop wili be planted.

A Kitight for a Day"
Was a Great Success
Monday night the people of Milledge-
viile had the rare pleasure of seeing one
of the best plays on the road. "A
knight for a day,” was full of laughter
and fun from start to finish and people
who had seen it before enjoyed it more
than ever. Ovey is. a character un
equalled in his way and his companion
player, Tillie Joy, has too much talent
| to play the«part she does, but shs wins
, applause on merits just the same,
j The very short time it was advertis
ed probably went against the show, but
j the crowd was biggest of the season and
j the management of the opera house has

■ people splendid shows and they have
succeeded in this instance in giving the

but they will probably be furnigaied,
or should be as a precaution to public
health.
If the reports are half as bad as
stated and there is no reason to doubt
but that they aro fully as bad, then
protection should be thrown around
Milledgevillo at once. The newspapers
and the city government of Eatonton
should co-opeiate in protecting the peo
ple of this sectio i of the stale by stat
ing the facts plainly for the guidance of
the public.

The stewards of the Methodist church
will compliment R?v. S. P. Wiggins
t. ith a dinner at the Baldwin hotel next
Monday ni,Hit to which all the gentle
men members of the church have been
invited. The affairs will be quite in
formal and there is no doubt but that
the occasion will be thoroughly enjoyed
when all tho complications uro consider
ed. The work is being done by Secreta
ry Sid Jonos and it means a lot of woi k
upon his shoulders.
In addition to tho special census tho
regular government count will have to
be made in Aur 1 when tho census is
taken. The present figures are be ng
furnished for the annual statement on
institutions for the insane.
The snnual election of the bonrd
of directors and officers of tho Milledge
ville banking resulted in the election
of the sume officials and directorate,
except that Mr. E. E. Bell was elected
director to succeed Cant. K. R. Foster

mother sterling business man to t In
board and the outlook for the bank is
very gratifying to the stockholders.

in Business After Fire
All the insurance matters in tho big
fire on the corner of Hancock and
Wilkinson streets, which occurred a
couple of weeks, ago, lias been adjust
ed and Dr. T. M. Hull and Dr. J. H.
Shurley are now occupying apartments,
so to speak, in the Hatcher building.
J. J. Daniel it Co. have concluded the
work of adjustment with the insurance
people and are back in business at the
old stand, but of course much work is
yet to be done in repairing the building.
It will be some time before the building
is thoroughly finished and Dr. Hall and
Dr. Shurley will be somewhat missed
from their old quarters and it will be a
hard matter for each of them to get as
well fixed up as they were before.
