Mrs. F. S. Cater went to her
home in Macon last Thursday
evening, after spending 2 weeks or
more in Perry with the family of
her brother, Mr. C. F. Cooper.
While here she was quite ill, but
we are glad to note she is , now
much improved in health.
Next Friday, the first Friday in
December, is arbor day by stat
ute, and schools are especially ex
pected-to observe it in a practical
way. In this connection County
School Commissioner Geo. W.
Smith bss received a communica
tion from the State School Com
missioner in which it is urged
that the schools of the county
plant about the school house such
trees as Walnut, Pecan, Hickory,
and others of similar value.
—We have often heard of the
superior excellence of Bronze tur
keys, but not until. several days
ago was the ocular demonstration
placed forcefully before us. On
Mr. E. L. Dennard’s home farm,
near Perry, we saw a greater num
ber- of turkeys than had ever be
fore been within our observation.
ThiB year Mrs. Dennard has raised
87 turkeys of the mammoth Bronze
strain, and many of the young
gobblers will weigh 20 pounds.
They are beauties.
—The County chain gang, con
taining 23 convicts , is now at work
on the public road between Perry
and Dennard. The camp is loca
ted on the farm of Commissioner
E. L. -Dennard, and for several
months the management of the
gang will 1)6 under his supervision.
The work being done is strictly
first-class, andjguperintendant J.
H. Coffee is proving himself to be
eminently the right man in the
right place. His discipline, faith-
fully carried out by the guards, is
up to the highest standard.
Miss Dora Swift Dead.
Last Saturday afternoon a large
number of friends attended the
burial at Evergreen Cemetery of
Miss Dora J. Swift, who died the
day before in Atlanta, at the home
of her brother, Mr. John M. Swift.
The body was occompanied from
Atlanta by Mrs. M. C. Northen
and Mr. JCharlie Northen, sister
and nephew, and from Macon by
Judge W. D. Nottingham, brother-
in-law. V
Miss Dora Swift was a daughter
of the late Jndge and Mrs. W. T.
Swift, and was born in Houston
county about 50 years ago. From
early childhood and until about
12 years ago she lived in Perry,
and our people were her friends.
She was a member of the Bap
tist church from girlhood, and her
life, though much afflicted with
ill-health, was consistent with the
demands of true Christianity.
Her last illness was short,
though for a number of years her
health had not been good.
The bereaved sisters, brother
and other relatives have the sin
cere sympathy of many friends.
A truly good woman has been
called to her eternal reward.
—Thanksgiving day was prop
erly observed in Perry. The bus
iness houses were all closed, and
the town wore the appearance of
Sunday, except at the hours of
mail delivery. The Union service
at the Methodist church was well
attended,and the pulpit and chan
cel nicely decorated with flowers
and sheaves of oats. The sermon
by Rev. W. J. Holtzclaw coupled
Thanksgiving and praver, the one
being incomplete without the oth
er. "The discourse waB most appro-
pri ate, and the preacher earnest
and eloquent. The ladies presented
offerings to several needy fam
ilies in the country, and we pre
sume every dinner table in town
was graced with thanksgiving
viands.

Pronounced Small-pox-
The disease that has caused so
najich anxiety in Houston, oast,
south and west of Perry, during
the last three weeks, has been
pronounced small-pox by a gov
ernment expert.
Ordinary Hurst communicated
with Hon. E. B Lewis at Monte
zuma. He communicated with
Surgeon General Wyman at Wash
ington, and under*his order Dr. W
Page McIntosh-reached Perry Mon
day morning from Mobile,*Ala
He 5s Surgeon Major in the United
States Marine Hospital service,
and we are told he is a native of
Georgia. In company with Dr.
R. L. Cater, Dr. McIntosh visited
the patients on the Duncan place,
on the Belvin place, and those at
and near Kathleen.
There are several new cases,
but all directly connected with
the older cases; all the old cases
progressing favorably.
The County Commissioners will
meet in special session Friday,
to consider the small-pox situa
tion.
To citizens of Perry, and official
ly to the County Commissioners,
Dr. McIntosh declared the disease
to be genuine small-pox, though
of a mild type. Several of the
cases, however, are more malig
nant than the others, thongh oth
er .deaths are not expected. He
further said that all the epidemics
he has examined this year are of
comparatively mild type, and
therefore the people do not readi
ly accept the decisions of the phy
sicians. After the patients recov
er, Dr. McIntosh says, all clothing
and bedding subject to contagion
should be burned, unless it can
be tohroughly boiled.
—Good breeding is admirable
wherever you find it, bringing to
veiw the best points of excellence.
This is true in all avenues of
life, from the animal of the lowest
degree up to man. Nowhere will
you find this truth more patent
than in domestic fowls. The fowl
pure-bred will give better satis
faction in appearance, for table
use and on the market. We are
glad to note that-this truth is rap
idly gaining converts throughout
Houston County.

How Moody Got 'Oat of It.
Many were the Interesting experi
ences belonging to the first Northfield
conference called by D. L. Moody. One
especially shows Mr. Moody himself
In his varying phases. It was the con
versation hour at noon, and about 100
men were sitting under the tent on
Ronnd Top
Mr. Moody, leaning sturdily against
the tent pole, led the meeting. Sudden
ly there came from him the plump
question, “Brethren, how many of you
have so. grown In grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?”
Many hands went np. Quick as a
flash, but neither sharply nor Insult
ingly, Mr. Moody turned to a young
minister and said:
“Brother, you have spoken 13 times
In 12 days here and perhaps shut ont
12 other good men from speaking.”
It was true. The young man had
been presuming and officious. He had
held up his hand, but he could not bear
to be chidden, and now he stoutly de
fended himself, only making matters
worse. -Then another minister broke
forth and berated Mr. Moody for his
bluntness. The latter blushed, but lis
tened until the reproof was done. Then
he suggestively covered his face and
spoke through his fingers, "Brethren, I
admit the fault my friend charges me
with; but, brethren, I did not hold up
my hand!”—Youth’s Companion.
