city, on or about August 1st. They
are well known to our poeple in
the particular line ’ of business
they propose to enter. Mr. Biley,
who for several years was with
Bodgers, Worsham & Co. is espe

Our town is now at its prettiest.
The loveliest shade trees in the
state grace our streets and side
walks; our streets are well graded
and drained, and the town, is kept
by the authorities in a clean and
healthy condition; no garbage
offends the eye and sense of smell
of the visitor, and our people de
serve much credit for this condi
tion of affairs.
But there is one thing that
strikes the eye of the stranger or
the visitor within £ur gates unfa
vorably', and to our discredit. Wa
speak of the lack of use of the
paint brush. Perhaps never in the
history of our town have so many
strangers been congregated here
at one time, and the almost invari
able exclamation of each one is,
“what "a pretty site for a town!
What lovely shade trees! Why
don’t the people paint and clean
up their houses!”
The houses referred to are the
store houses, law offices and other
places of business. . The residence
portion of our town will compare
most favorably with that of any
town of its size in the state, and
we often hear them spoken of in
terms of praise.
It is a glaring and lamentable
fact that some of thej business
houses of our town present a time
worn and rusty appearance, and it
is also a fact that the owners
these houses are amply able to
paint and otherwise beautify them.
Why won’t'they do this? We are
unable to answer, unless it be that
because the buildings are old, and
madft of wood, they are constantly-
expecting them to be destroyed by
fire, and then rebuild with hand
some brick houses..
We are scarcely prepared to be
lieve that thej are thus tempting
providence. We rather favor the
opinion that they have not thought
of the matter in a serious light
the light of business. As soon as
they are convinced that such
condition is hurtful to business
interests, the evil will be
died.
Let our poeple awake to this
need, and make our town what ev
ery stranger who sees it says it
can be made, the prettiest town in
the state.

it was shot by Mr. Walter Kemp.

ring the last three nights, have
been a source of much pleasure
and entertainment to oar people
generally, as well as to the iarge
crowd of visitors Fere.
On Monday night the exercises
consisted of recitations and decla
mation by the boys and girls, in
terspersed with choice selections
of music from our amateus orches
tra, and vocal solos and piano solos
and duets by young lady pupils
of Mrs. Lawson’s music class.
The programme was an enter
taining one, and the large crowd
present-speak in the highest terms
of praise of the excellent showing
made by the pupils, and especially
of the bearibg of Profs Tiguor
and Kennedy, the principals.
Tuesday night was presented a
most admirable little temperance
play, entitled “Mother Goose and
Her Temperance Family.” The
pupils sustaining the different
characters as taken from Mother
Goose’s Melodies, enacted the
parts to perfection, and gave to
the large and appreciative audi
ence c%use for much merriment, as
well as laying the foundation for
much sober thinking.
After the play the class in calis
thenics gave a very creditable ex
hibition. Then came the award
ing of prizes, as follows,
Scholarship medal in higher de
partment; Miss Jennie Powers.
Scholarship prize in primary;
B. W. Holtzclaw.
First prize in declamation; Miss
Mattie Lawson.
Second prize in declamation; Ed
Wellons.
First prize in penmanship;
Houston Houser.
First prize in punctuality; Bu-

The following are the names of
those who were even in honor for
the second prize in punctuality:
Misses Annie Wellons, Claude
Lawson, Claude Miller, Nell Bog-
ers, Mary Joe Cooper, Maud
Houser, Carrie Houser, Jessie Al

First prize in music; Miss To-
nie Martin.
Second prize in music; Miss An
nie Wellons.
Last night (Wednesday) the ex
ercises closed with a mnsieal con
cert by Mi's. Lawson’s class in
music, which was well attended
and much appreciated.
I he early hour at which we go
to press, and the crowded condi
tion of our columns, prevents a
more extended notice of last night’s
entertainment.

Quite.a sensation
was created
among the colored population in
morning, when the news was being
circulated that two of the leaders
in their churches and societies
were under arrest for breaking
open a freight car and stealing
250 or 300 pounds of hams, 400
pounds of flour, and 8 or 10 sides
of meat. The guilty parties were
Jim Armstrong and Mac Nead.
The railroad authorities ordered
the negroes to Fort Valley for safe
keeping under charge of I. N.
Boyal and John Everett On ar
riving at Fort Valley, Mr. Boyal
let his prisoner give him the dodge.
We hope the railroad authorities
will offer a reward for the negro’s
arrest, and that he will be caught
and justice done him.
The fruit crop is turning out
fully up to the expectations of the
growers. We are so very busy we
can scarcely find-time to write the
news or eat a meal of victuals.
Corn and cotton are looking
better since the late rains.
Mr. W. E. Warren and Miss
Susie Allen spent last Friday in
Macou shopping.
A most enjoyable, social enter
tainment was given tbe young
people last Friday night, at the
residence of Mr. A. C. Cliett. They
enjoyed themselves up to a late
hour, returning home delighted
with the evening’s pleasures.
Maj. Culpepper was in Powers
ville Tuesday. He says he has a
fine stand of cotton at last.

Obituary.
Little Eule Pearl Tucker,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. D.
Tucker, was born Oct. 19th, 1887,
and died May 26th, 1889.
She was the only child, and the
pet of the household. The whole
family loved her with no ordinary
devotion, and her death leaves a
sad blank in her parents’ hearts,
who miss her to-day from the fire
side, and will while they live, yet
they have the hope to cheer them
all the way, that bye and bye they
will meet in that eternal day
aroand the throne of God.
for the bereaved ones; for we
know, dear parents, from experi
ence, how it grieved you to see
your darling consigned to the cold,
cold grave, never to behold her
pretty face again. But remember,
my brother and sister, that your
loss is little Pearl’s gain. She is
free from all pain and sorrows of
this life, and is at rest with Him
who redeemed her. Let this sweet
thought console yon in your troub
les, and may the Giver of all good
take your desolate home under
His divine protection, and com
fort • ypur sad hearts, and at last
receive you in Heaven.
