A !‘ eu ' lot 3 ust received—something that will , suit you A week’s meeting has been in progress at the Primitive church since Sunday, services being held both morning and evening.

The condition of Mr. R. F.

Last Saturday and Sunday’s cool spell, when fires and over¬ CQat8 were 1U dfema nd, is declared to be the record-breaker, but if our people had memories twelve month's long they would remem¬ ber that we have the like nearly every summer, It came in July last year almost as cool. For Sale Cheap.— Lot of good framing lumber at about half price. A great bargain for some one. X., care of The Herald Jim McKnight, the young white man from Still more who has been serving a ten-month’s term in the chaingang on the charge of carry¬ ing concealed weapons, completed his sentence and was released Monday. He was also tried ahd fined $25 for his escape from the gang some months ago, which was paid. Reports come from many sec¬ tions of the county that the corn 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. Many fields had tasseled out and the tassies died before the rain. Cotton, however, seems to have stood the dry w r eather very well. Rev D. F. Riley’s many friends regret to learn of his peculiar and sad affliction. While in Savan uan Saturday, whither he had been to conduct the funeral of his dear friend, Mrs. Lanier, he seemed to collapse in both mind and body, and since his return home he has only slightly improv¬ ed.

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. Tybec Excursion Next Thursday. The D. & S. R.

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. 0. S. Martin. The Ugly Elltle Ouch ling. tbaxslatsd rxoM thk frkxch bt thi translator 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.
