Obituary.
Grovania Glernings.
BY JuE bedgf.
The Grovania Oil and Fertilizer
Co. commenced to grind seed to
day. Mr. J. G. Crawford, machinist,
says the machinery is in fair trim,
and he is delighted with its move
ments. I learn from Mr. Crawford,
manager of the ginnery, and Maj. H.
Benson, secretary and treasurer of
the company, that they have ginned
and packed 872 bales of cotton up
to date, including round bales,
against 572 last season. Please al
low me to correct the error in my
last communication stating that the
Grovania ginnery had ginned 148
round bales of cotton and 74 square
bales. The 148 round bales equal
74 square bales—takes two round
bales to make one square bale. I
hope everybody understands this.
Cotton seed are bringing 23 cents
in Grovania—3 cents above Macon
price. Now is the time to sell your
seed, for they are sure to go down;
just as sure as cotton is to go up.
Quarterly meeting next Saturday

The preacher must be paid, they say,

of Cochran, says it will be a beauti
ful building when completed.
Mr. R. L. Baird has sold his resir
dence in this place to his mother,
and will build a new house of mod
ern design in the near future.
The oyster supper at Mr. W. S.
Riley’s was an enjoyable occasion.

To the bereaved parents this is
perhaps the darkest hour of their pil

lines they may bo saying: “Oh, why
was he taken so young?” I cannot
answer the question, but point them
to Him who doeth all things for the
best, and bid them wait until the
mists have cleared away. We de
sired his recovery so ; much for the
sake of his father and mother. We
know that words are powerless to
assuage their intense grief, but they
have the heartfelt sympathy of their
many friends of this community.
