It is pleasing to report that Mis

most well; though friends regret
to learn that her sister, Mis*
Sarah, has been stricken with it

Reports come from many sec¬

crop has been greatly injured by
the drouth. One mau with 18
acres planted siys he does not ex
pect to gather a bushel to the acre.

and body, and since his return

covery is hoped for.

Legett had warrant* swotti out for

charges Wilson with aataalt and
battery, and Wilaon took legett
on a charge of using obscene lan
g’»«ge in the presence of females.

Messrs. Overstreet end Emmett.
formerly of Emanuel county, have

week ran the survey of the pro¬
posed tram road from that piaea
to Statesboro, They will proba¬
bly locate one or more mills in
the vicinity of Statesboro at an
early date, and will do business
on an extensive scale.
/Shoes at Mrs. A. Moore’s,
After one year iiitfie third class,
Statesboro postoffice has been ret¬
rograded to the fourth class. The
reason of the departineiit’s action
is that the gross receipts of the
office, outside of the money order
fees, for the year ending March
31st fell slightly below $1,900—
the minimum required by third
class offices. The change is one
which makes no difference to the
public, as Postmaster Rigdon will
continue to render the same ser¬
vice as in the past. The difference
to the postmaster is also very
small, only being that under the
third class rate he drew a straight
salary of $1,000 a year, while now
the amount of salary depends
upon commissions, which may
probably bring him in a
more than $1,000.

Editor Bulloch Herald : 1
I see in the Bullx?h Times of
16th inst. this: **Mr. Martin will
have a hard time convincing the
public that our estimate -*>f the
cost of the gang is untrue until he
furniohes a true statement, sub¬
stantiated by vouchers, as to w hat
it does really cost.”
Now, for the information of the
Times editor and hie informants,
we will say subtract $116 from
$160 then he will seethe difference
between his estimate and the “true
statement.” This he could have
obtained from this office just by
calling for it before assailing me
with extravagance on hearsay or
ou his own estimates if he had
cared to be correct. I only con¬
tended that I have been misrepre¬
sented, and that is an evident fact
by the records in my office and the
Clerk’s office. This office is open
for inspection to the public, in¬
cluding Mr. McGregor, whom I
assure I wi 11 show every polite¬
ness and give any information that
he may seek that is in my power
so to do.
Twice a year this office is exam¬
ined by a committee sworn to give
facts as they find them, and their
reports have as often been made
public. Those reports speak for
themselves.
I dismiss this unpleasant con¬
troversy with no ill w ill towards
Mr. McGregor or the public, be¬
lieving that facts and figures as
they appear in this office are a
sufficient vindication to myself
and friends, who will weigh this
matter with conservative minds.

PART 1.
Th !. U *li»fiTaU“Tho;"“
born , In the faraway .... hills of .
was
Mt. Gumry when quite a small boy.
In physique he delighted to de¬
scribe himself as a plain-faced,
blunt-nosed, wiregrass-legged boy.
He was almost an orphan, having
only one father and mother to
fondle and cherish him through
childhood. “Thos.” was the pride
of their nearts, and also the great¬
est delight of his own existence.
There were none others iu eleven
adjoining empires of which be was
afterwards King like unto him, in
which fact he took great pleasure
—as did also all the many subjects
throughout the kingdoms.
There was probably one fault
that could be found with “Thos.”
in his younger days, and that was
his tendency for “snatchiug” small
things, though his autobiography
contains no reference to his having
“snatched” auything except an
education through the cracks of a
log house. This was before he
attained the leadership of men in
political affairs, and may easily be
pardoned.
After “Thos.” attained his ma¬
jority (and also an education at
L'Universitie de Georgie in which
he gloried much before his sub¬
jects iu after years) his career be¬
gan in earnest, and it is to this
which this story pertaiu .. For
his much traveling “Tbos.” was
also noted, and his autobiography
contains much reference to the
many empires through which he
traveled and reigned iu a remark¬
ably short space of time. Begin¬
ning at Mt. Gumry he traveled
northward to the empire of Klarque
of which he was enthroned King,
reiguiug for a number of weeks,
when he journeyed rapidly on to
Deuly, Tellefaire, Hcrrice, Effing
Ham, Chat-Ham, Tattling, Liber
tad, Barque and Skreev’n. Only
in the latter did he meet a man
w*h the temerity to rise tip against
him with a sc hah Hi in his
hand, but with his usual calmness
quiet was restored—and •‘Thus.’ 1
moved on to a new empire.
No moralizing is necessary. The
reader will -ntch the point. In
five short years “Thos.” covered
eleven great empires and king¬
doms, in all of which he was very
much renowned by himself. He
spoke words of wisdom and under¬
standing to himself, and defeated
the pops on the 25th day of Octo¬
ber—three weeks after the election
iu which only the common people
hid participated. The Populists
and others in amazement inquired
who he was, and'believed not when
he told them. He gave as refer¬
ence those empires in which he had
reigned a few short weeks, but
deigned not to give home reference
among those whom lie had led to
victory for thres years.
He Deeded no lauding from hr3
followers—he blew bis own horn;
he wus a man of many words, and
they were words of praise.

ful and touching story of “The
Ugly Little Duckling,” now* trans¬
lated from the French for the first
tim**, can be found in succeeding

to pay for it, don’t take it out of
