His bond was accepted, and be was sworn in last Tuesday, to succeed Mr. J. If. Tuttle, resigned.

Dennard’s farm, about a mile and a half; east of town —the Riley place, course Mr. Dennard was our com panion, and the drive was taken at our request This farm comprises about 600 acres, about two-thirds of which is under cultivation. Oar special in terest in this farm grows out of the fact that it is being arranged for a stock farm. Mr. W. H. Houser has charge of the farm, and is preparing for crops that will prove that he is one of the very best farmers in Houston county. But to the improvements. The stable that is a home for Mr. Den nard’s thoroughbred horses is a model of convenience and beauty. It contains ten comfortable stalls, with convenient arrangements for provender, harness, etc. A train er and two hostlers are kept con stantly busy in and around this handsome horse-home. The horses here kept are fine-blooded, fast-go ing gems. Near the stable is a half-mile track that has no equal in Georgia, except the regular race tracks. Here everyday Dick Rob- ertsou “works” the fiveihorses that have in them the fine blood and quick action that will surety prove means of profit to their owner. During our visit we saw Cindie make a mile in 2:39. Mr. Dennard has 17 pure-bred horses, including colts. Of these there are five brood mares, five trotters in training, and two stal lions. These with Jersey and Holstein cattle, Berkshire hogs, etc., form the basis, with the land, of what will surely be a model stock farm. Around the stable will be ar- anged Bermudajplots, and grain pastures that will furnish green food the year round. The greater portion of the farm this year will be devoted to pro vision and provender crops, only a small acreage to be cultivated in cotton. Improved labor-saving imple ments have been and will be used, and the entire farm will be brought up to the hightest standard of cul tivation,—demanded by progress ive agriculture. In keeping with the high stand ard of excellence to which Mr. Dennard proposes to raise his farm, his elegant residence, now nearing completion, will stand a monument. It stands west of the public road, facing east. It is of artistic de sign, the plan having been drawn by an architect in accord with ideas furnished by Mrs. Dennaid. The house contains nine rooms, besides the kitchen, bath room, tank-room, attic and closets. It is supplied with water in every room, through pipes, and in every respect the house has the convenient appoint ments that go with the most thor oughly equipped city mansion. The second story is reached both by stairway and elevator, and on the third story the attic is a gem of itself. We will not attempt the difficui task of describing the house, either in point of conven ient arrangement, or tasteful beau- •it being a model in both re spects. When completed, it will cost about $5000. Mr. Dennard will not attempt this year to complete all his pro posed improvements on this farm, but we dare say that now more money has been spent on it than on any other farm of similar size in the county. We are satisfied the .dwelling house is the most complete,—in beauty and conven ience—farm residence in Houston county. The Sunday school convention of jthe Rehoboth Baptist Associa tion convened at Fort Talley i’ r: day, March 28th at 11:30 o’clock. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. J. G. Brewton, of Perry, from Eph. 2:10, subject Christian Works.- At 3 o’clock the convention was called to order by Rev. J. J. Hyman, of Macon. Rev. J. J. Hyman was electedPresident- and Rev. A. J. Cheves Secretary. The afternoon was taken up with the business of the convention, which was briefly andinierestingly dispatched. At half-past seven o’clock at night, Rev. A. L. Mon- crief preached an interesting ser mon on the subject “Importance of a Knowledge of the Word of God.” Saturday was spent in carrying out the interesting programme that had been previously prepared. Af ter the dispatch of some miscella neous business, the convention was addressed by Revs- A. J. Cheves on the subject “We are specially responsible#for the or ganization and maintenance of Sunday schools;” Rev. W. H. Nor ton, .subject “True objects and aims of the Sunday school;” Rev. J. J. Hyman and L^O. Niles, sub ject “The objects of this conven tion, and how shall they be accom plished:” Rev. B. F. Tharp, sub ject “How can those churches be excused that make no provision for Sunday Rehool instruction;” Revs. J, W. Graham and B. L. Ross, subject. “How to excite a more thorough interest in the Sun day school work throughout the Association.” The addresses were all short, pointed and full of en thusiasm. At night Rev A. J. Cheves preached an . interesting sermon on the “Attonement.” Sunday was a day of perfect loveliness, which added much to the services of the day. At half past 9 o’clock the Sunday school and congretion were addressed by Revs. — Cane, B. J." W. Graham and J. C. Brewton. The addresses were short and pointed. At 11 clock Rev. J. J. Hyman preach ed at the Baptist church, and Rev. C. Brewton at the Methodist church and Rev. — Cane at the Congregational church. The Sun day school mass meeting at 3 clock was addressed by Revs. J. Hyman, A. J. Cheves and B. F. Tharp. The speeches were short and interesting. While the meeting was. not so largely attended af was hoped, there was great interest and enthu siasm manifested, and it is earn estly hoped that the interest will continue to grow until all the churches become aroused. It is not yet known when and where the next meeting of the con vention will be held, as that is left the discretion of the executive committee, but it is quite probable that it will meet next with the Per- Baptist church, on the fifth Sunday in June next. The people of Fort Talley have the thanks and praise of all who at tended the convention for their exceeding good care of them. Good Road Work. —Several days ago we saw a picture painted by an amateur ar tist that commanded our attention. It is a landscape surrounding and beautifully ornamenting a French mirror. From the left a cataract leaps from the mountain side ri valing nature in its granduer and prismatic hues enveloped in the spray; below is the placid pool with fern covered banks, and above is the sky, in true colors delight fully blended, and in true sympa- tbe with other parts of of the pict- As a whole, the picture is decidedly good, worthy of the brush of a professional artist. This picture is the work of Miss Mary Simmons, daughter of Dr. J, M. Simmons of near Perry. Miss Simmons is now taking art lessons in Perry, under Miss Cornelia Smith. The picture noticed is one of several she has recently painted, and gives unmistakable evidence of decided artistic talent. She will surely become known in the art world if she persists in exerting her talent. Last Friday we rode over about three miles of public road that had recently been worked with a patent road machine. The road between Perry and Houston Factory, and the work was done under the supervision of Mr. W. Houser. The machine requires the attention of two men, one to operate it, and one to drive the six mules needed to pull it. The road left by this machine in an al most perfect condition, oval- shaped, gradually sloping to either side from the middle. We are told the machine will more than do the work of twenty men, .and the old-time method of digging ditches on either side to carry off the wa ter is beneficially displaced. We believe such a machine could be profitably used on ali our county roads, by official action, and we suggest that our county commis sioners inspect the road referred to, and consider the-advisability of purchasing and using two or more road machines. The machine referred to above is the property of Mr. E. L. Dennard, and was purchased by him for the purpose of making and keeping in order the race track on his Riley place stock farm. No news much this week. Aw ful -windj- weather for patting out guano, bat we are about through, and will go to planting this week. The farmers are about up with their work, and some of them go on a camp fish now and then. Messrs. Bill Kang, N. G. Hunt and Uncle Ben weut on -a camp-fish a few days ago, and carried nothing to eat except some lard and meal, expecting to get plenty of fish, but the poor fellows didn’t get any fish, and had to feast on “shorten” bread and river water. Being very hungry next morning, two of them went to the hooks very early, while the other stayed at the camp to get the things ready to fry the fish. When they got back from the hooks they had three little mud eats about four inches long. They soon had them ready for eating, ate them up and pulled out for home. Amid all this bad luck, poor Bill fell into a lake nearly up to his neck. I was very sorry for the boys, but couldn’t cry a bit, as I had been in the same fix myself. We hope they will have better luck next time. Mr. Roquemore will soon 'com plete his dwelling at Bonaire. The Judge is still as merry as a mocking-bird in the month of May. Sing on, brother Judge, it is very comforting to the down hearted. Mr. .J. N. Barker has the best oats iu this section. It seems that the cold did not hurt his as bad us it did other oats. We believe it is pretty early for planting cotton, but we think it likely that Mr. J. A. Watson will get a good stand on what he has planted, as he put about SO bush els on 4 acres. Messrs. J. N. Barker, R. G. Watson and several others spent last Friday night with the snakes and frogs at Mr. O. H. Thompson’s mill pond. Mr. B. says the boys wouldn’t let him sleep quay that night. Another bad- looking set next morning and no fish. Mr. B. being badly worried with the trip, came home and- went to bed and took an IS hours nap. He said he felt much better than he did Sat urday morning. Hr. W. has been quite sick for some time, and we don’t see any change for the bet ter. Mr. J. T. Walker is running for a big corn crop this year, but Sir. M. Pitts will meet him at the gathering. Mr. J. N. Barker and family were the guests of .J* M. Pitts last Sunday. Come again, Mr. B., and tell us how you and the Prof, rest ed at the pond. Misses Ola and Claud Barker, two of Bonaire’s charming young ladies, visited Misses, Beck and Cora Woodard last Sunday. Madam Rumor doesn’t say much about marrying in our communi ty, but the old bachelor rides out pretty often now-a-days, and we expect to hear something pretty soon. We hope all the democratic vo-- ters of the Upper Eleventh dis trict will attend our meeting at Bouaire on April 5th at 3 o’clock m. April 5th, 1890. A shooting affray occurred at the store of Mr. H. G. Hardison last Friday night, about nine o’clock, in which Messrs. Chas.

Ault- mau, a well known farmer of this community, as reported, was shot twice with a pistol, one shot graz ing the skin on tne light side of the head, just above the ear, and passing through the brim of his hat, the'other ball is .supposed to have lodged somewhere in his abdo men, entering on the right side. He was carried to his home, about mile distant, by some friends, and Dr. Baskin, one of Byron’s oldest and most prominent physi cians sent for, and all the medical aid possible was promptly and skillfully applied to the unfortu nate young man. He is not thought to be fatally-wounded. Mr. Will Jackson was only shot at ouce by his opponent, tlie ball passing just above his ear making a slight buru. The cause of the difficulty is said to have been on-account of nidge which suraug up between them at a party frame time ago. They entered the store together, both seeming friendly, but only a short while afterwards, the shoot ing occurred. One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred last Friday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Jaeksou. It was an agg-nog, given by our clever rail road agent, Mr. S. J. Heath. It was well attended by the young folks, and occasionally an older citizen would put in an appear ance, as it is seldom such an op portunity is presented them. Messrs. T. H. Willingham, T. D. Warren and W. L. Newman, three of Byron’s most successful farm ers, began planting cotton last Tuesday, 25th ult. Messrs. T. O. Vinson and G. B.
