What Our Reporters See, Hear and
Think-A Little of Everything.
The grippe continues to be epi¬

deaths are frequently occurring as
the result.
Quite copious rains have fallen
within the past few days, and the
indications are that a spell of cold
weather will shortly be upon us.

We call your attention to the

enterprising young men, and will
always treat you right.

Friday from a brief business trip
to his old home at Baxley. He al¬
so spent a short while with his
parents at Johnston Station while
away.
We are pleased to call your atten¬
tion to the big advertisement of

It is said that the indications are
for the biggest o&t crop this spring
that Bulloch coun ty has ever known.
If this only meant that the farmers
intend to plant less of cotton and
more for home consumption, all
would be well.
A letter from the editor’s father,
who left here by private conveyance
for Florida three weeks ago,announ¬
ces his safe arrival home. The dis¬

actual tiaveling time consumed in
the trip was less than nine and a
half days.
Jerry Moore, one of the best

followed by his race.
Prof. S. A. Sammons, who has

Announcement.
I wish to thank all my friends,
and the public generally
for the liberal patronage given me
the past year and to say to them
that I am still at the same place
and ready to serve them in any way
for the new year. I have bought
the large stock of furniture, W. stoves, &
etc. of J. Olliff Co.,
and will run that business also. 1
am going to keep everything, and
promise to give fair and honest
treatment to all and I respectfully
ask for your trade.

Statesboro’s special tax ordi¬
nance, which was carried from the
superior to the supreme court last
summer, has at last been reached
and will be finally disposed of this
week. There is little interest felt
in the decision of the supreme
court, as there is a probability that
the tax will be abolished anyhow
even if it should be declared con¬
stitutional.
Sheriff Donaldson returned yes¬
terday from Eatonton, where he
went Monday for a young man by
the name of Daniels, who was want¬
ed upon a charge of assault with
intent to murder. The deed was
committed two or three years ago
in the upper edge of the county,
and the young man had been ab¬
sent ever since until he accompa¬
nied the sheriff back yesterday.
The Atlanta Journal of Friday,
in reporting the promotion of V.
H. DeLoach, of that city, to the
position of St. Louis manager of
the DeLoach Mill Manufacturing
Company, presented a cut of, and
some very complimentary remarks
about, the young man. Mr. De¬
Loach has a host of kinspeople in
Bulloch county, and numerous
other friends who are glad to know
of his rapid rise in the business
world.
You can get anything in farm
tools, plows, gear, etc. from J. G.
Blitch.
It is pleasing to Mr. Charlie
Preetorius’s friends to know that
the old gentleman, who was last
week so near death’s door, has ral¬
lied and will probably shortly be
up again. He was compelled last
Thursday to undergo a difficult
operation in which the surgeon
told him the chances were about
as nine to one against his recovery,
but with the tenacity of a strong
man he seized the one chance, and
will recover.
Mr. W. H. Mitchell, who was or¬
dered imprisoned by Judge Gamble
for contempt of court in refusing
to pay his wife a small amount of
alimony which the court had
awarded her, was put in jail last
Friday. He endured the confine¬
ment yery patiently for a day or
two, but the first of the week he
had his lawyer to begin habeas
corpus proceedings to get him out.
The case will be heard before Judge
Martin tomorrow.
Two young ladies of Excelsior,
with their escorts, were going to a
party out there a few nights ago
when a grey-looking object, which
might have been recognized as a
skunk “if love were not blind,” ran
across the road in front of them.
One of the young men thought it
would be fun to catch the opossum
for the ladies to look at, so he un¬
dertook to do so, with very good
success. The other young man
accompanied the girls on to the
party.

Big Hotel for Statesboro.
We were shown this week the
plans for a big hotel which will
likely be under headway in States¬
boro within a few months, at far¬
thest. Mr. J. W. Olliff is the pro¬
moter of the enterprise.
The building is to be two stories
high and to contain about forty
eight rooms, and is to occupy the
rear of Mr. OllifTs lot on the square,
facing Dr. Holland’s office. The
plan is an “E” shape, white space
between the north and south wingB
for a fountain, flower yard, etc.
The House will be a framed build¬
ing, but will be in keeping with the
brick buildings which will occupy
the same lot.
Work will likely be begun on the
new hotel in the spring or early
summer, about the same time the
big brick store on the front of the
lot is to be commenced. When
completely built up the lot will be
made to represent about $18,000 or
$20,000, the lot alone having cost
$5,000.
Notice, ’Teachers!
I will hold a special examination in my
office in Statesboro od Friday, the 29th
inst., for the whites and Saturday, the
30th, for the colored, from 8 o’clock a. m.
to 6 o’clock p. m.

Plea for Reconciliation.
The following patheiic appeal for
reconciliation was handed us this
week by the friend of the author,
and is published at his request.
Mr. Mitchell, the author, is well
known all over the county, and this
letter will be read with interest by
his acquaintances, and it is sin¬
cerely hoped that it may have the
desired effect—to bring his wife to
reconsider and accept the offer
which he extended her “with an
eye single to her glory and com¬
fort,”

children and great-grandchildren,
his family reaches 150 persons.
He was a man of strong character.
He was a very vigorous man, always
np before sunrise and about his
buisiness. He attended to his farm
up until he was taken sick. “Uncle
as he was called was in
circumstances
sympathy of a wide circle of
will go out to bereaved by
