THE TOWN AND COUNTY.
What Our Reporters See, Hear and
Thlnk-A Little of Everything.
The weather bureau humbugged
us badly.
The forecast Monday was for a
small cold spat.
It didn’t come Monday night or
Tuesday as scheduled to do,
So we say we were humbugged;
but we were not mad about that.
The worst of it is that it came
last night, and is still with us.
That’s why we’re mad.
Then, again, it was to have been
the tail of a blizzard, when it’s the
head, ears, tail and all of a big one.
Now, if that isn’t enough to make
us mad with the bureau—for it to
promise us the tail of a blizzard
and then send us a whole one,
And that after we had burned
up all our wood, and before we had
got our paper set up—why, we’d
like to know what we’d be allowed
to get mad at.
If our readers know anything of
the pleasure of picking up type in
a well ventilated office while the
mercury is dancing at 18 ° in the
shade, they’ll pardon our printers
for going on a strike today.

out the couuty, the malady doesn’t
appear to be so fatal as ten days
ago.

in this week.

AFTER THE PLACES.
Ordinary Martin has his hands
full about now selecting road over¬
seers for the several districts of tte
county under the new road system.
Under the old system he had a job
to find commissioners to serve, but
now its different—the job is to
betwen those who are anx
ious to serve.
The last grand j ury recommended
new road law, which provides
that there shall be an overseer in
district who shall be paid to
look after the roads. It shall be
his duty to work those who are sub¬
to road duty, or collect from
them 50 cents per day for each
they are summoned to work.
With this 50 cents per day other
workmen are to be employed. In
addition to the amounts collected
from those who are subject to road
duty, a small road tax, say 75 cents
on $1,000, is to be levied on the
property, and the roads are to be
kept in good repair.
There are ten vacancies for over¬
seer, which pay about $30 per
month, and there are about twenty
applicants for the position. And
thus the ordinary’s task is nearly
as big as it was undor the old sys¬
tem.
A CARD.

tronage, and asking the same fa¬
vors for Messrs. J. W. Olliff & Co.
that you have so kindly bestowed
on us, we remain, yanrs truly,

MADE MONEY ON 10-CENT COTTON.
An industrious farmer of this
county told us a few days ago of
his experience in farming which,
thought a little unusual and seem¬
ingly unnatural, was undoubtedly
true. He said that three years ago
he sold most of his cotton for 19
cents per pound, and at the end of
the year he found that he had made
only a little money; then the next
year he had about the same quan¬
tity of cotton, which sold for 14 cts,
and he cleared about the same
amount of money; and again last
year his crop was about the same,
but only netted him about 11 cents
per pound, and on the last crop he
made more clear money than on
either of the other two. The rea¬
son for this is plain: he expected
to get 20 cents for the first crop,
and spent money iu its cultivatidn
with that expectation; on the sec¬
ond he cultivated his crep to sell
at 18 cents, but it only brought
14; and the last he figured at 10
cents, and it brought 11—one cent
more. There’s where the difference
came in—in t he economy of the cul¬
However Mr. Trapnell, for the
gentleman referred to was Mr. E. L.
Trapnell, of this place, doesn’t care
to gamble on the crop At ten cents
next year, so he has moved to town
to take life easy until the repub¬
licans give us a tariff on cotton,
or something turns up to increase
the price.
Stereopticon Exhibition.
Mr. H. R. Lucas bas been engaged to
present one of bis superb stereopticon ex¬
hibitions at the Statesboro academy on

ous transformationscannot fail to please

pers speak in the highest terms of this

audienoe delighted,” says the Columbia
State. “Coloring fine, soenes artistic,
