Mr. James Irwin Jones died at
his home at Bonaire last Satur
day morning, having been confin
ed to his bed only about three
days.
The burial was in the Bonaire
cemetery at noon Sunday.
The. remains wore escorted by
Houston Lodge F. & A. M. to the
Methodist church, where religious
services were held. At the grave
the solemn and impressive Mason
ic burial service was performed,
Mr. Jones having been an honor
ed member of Houston Lodge at
Perry.
Mr. Jones was 80 years of age
on the 23d day of September, 1900,
For years he had been an exem
plary member of| the Methodist
church, a man held in highest es
teem in his neighborhood and
throughout the county.
Though in feeble health a year
or more, he exercised active man
agement of his extensive interests,
agricultural and mercantile. By
means of his good sense and in
domitable energy, he was success
ful in business, accumulating con
siderable property.
For a number of years he had
been a widower, making his home
with hiB elder daughter, Msr. Slo-
cumb. She and one other daugh
ter servive him, while a son and
‘ a daughter have preceded him to
their eternal home. In addition
to the two daughters,several grand
children survive him.
As an evidence of the high es
teem in which he was held, a very
large crowd of friends attended
the funeral and burial.
To the bereaved relatives, the
sincerest sympathy of their many
friends is cordially extended.
Environment of A Lecture.
At the court house last Friday
night Mr. Robert B. Tuttle of
Kentucky, brother of Mr. J. N
Tuttle of the Perry Hotel, deliver
ed a lecture.
The speaker undertook to tell
of the “Environments of the three
great cities of the world, London,
New York and Paris.” The intro
duction by Hon. J. P. Duncan pre
pared the audience for something
fine,—and they heard itjg
The lecture was full of environ
ment, and so was the audience.
In the lecture there were some
unique features and extravagant
expressions, and the audience dis
played like elements.
The lecture was well prepared,
but it was evident that the lectur
er is not a finished speaker, though
the audience evidently thought he
ought to have been. There were
many real good points in the lec
ture, which if told by a polished
orator would have been intensely
enjoyable. Mr. Tuttle based his
lecture on “what he saw in the
three cities in May, June and July
last.” The audience gave oral
evidence of intense enjoyment,
and the lecture was punctured fre
quently with tumultuous ap-
pluse, at times so continued as to
interrupt the speaker.
Certainly the lecture was the
source of much fun.
While Mr. Tuttle may never take
ranfcanrongthe most eloquent and
fluent lecturers of the country, he
certainly is not at a loss for words,
and his staying qualities are equal
to any repuiremeht, or environ
ment.

The following item appeared in
the Macon correspondence of the
Atlanta Constitution last Thurs
day:
“News has come to Macon that
lynching of an fextraordinary
character occurred near Wellston,
in Houston county, last Sunday
night. It appears that there live
in the vicinity a family of hard
working negroes who are nearly
white. A black negro met a girl
of this family and criminally as
saulted her. Complaint was made
by the family to |white citizens,
who proceeded to round-up the
assailant. When he had been ta
ken the negroes asked that he be
turned over to them. As a negro
had been lynched a few days be
fore in the same locality for an
assault upon a white woman in
the presence of her children, this
request was complied with. The
negro was taken by the men of his
own race to the woods, and noth
ing has since been heard of him.’
Dilligent inquiry has brought
forth only "denials of the above
report. Several citizens of near
Wellston have told us that “there’s
nothing in it,” and we are relia
bly informed that the negro said
to have been lynched was seen
in Wellston last Friday or Satur-
day.
—Houston Democrats owe it to
their patriotism, their pride and
their duty to vote in force next
Tuesday. We believe Bryan and
Stevenson will be elected, and it
is good policy to be among the
victors by a large majority, when
the right side wins. Democracy
is right, and we should emphasize
our allegience by a big vote.
Houston was largely instrumen
tal in making Mr. Lewis congres-
man, in his first campaign, and we
ought to give him a nice vote
this time. Having overthrown
republicanism and populism in the
county, let’s continue to demon
strate our strength.
; :
-Almost without exception the
Houston farmers who planted
wheat last fall will plant wheat
again this fall, many of them in
creasing the acreage. Others who
did not plant wheat then, will try
a few acres this fall, and the in
dications now are that the acreage
devoted to wheat this fall will be
the largest ever known in Hous
ton. The crop harvested last
spring was generally satisfactory
in point of yield, and especially so
when the table was supplied with
wholesome home-made flour: The
oat’crop will also receive its share
of favorable attention.
