BY SUB.
Messrs. George A. and W. E. Sea-
gers of Ankona, Fla., have purchas
ed and now own the splendid prop-
THE^WESTERE-
POULTRY
Snnday was quite unusual for the eT }J of W. E. Warren of Powers
time of year and was injurious to
young corn and cotton. Some of
the farmers have been uneasy for
fear they will have to pianl over,and
I expect those who have cotton up
will be scarce of seed if it is killed.
Some of the corn shows indications
of being injured very much, though
we hope it is not killed.
The men of the surrounding coun
try for several miles met at the resi
dence of Mr. G. C. Hartley last Sat
urday and organized the Pine Island
Stock Company, with A. H. Ham
mock president, C. W. Withof t treas
urer, and Walter Scattergood secre
tary. The company consists of about
fifty stockholders, composed of some
of the best men of Houston county.
The line was surveyed by Mr. W. L.
Carr, in order that the company
might know just how far their fish
ing ground extended. The rules and
regulations of the company have
been drawn up, but the features of
said rules are not known to the
writer at present. The company is
now at liberty to fish at iheir own
expense, and I guess they will soon
engage in the sport.
We have one of the most flourish
ing poultry farms of the time, with
Mr. E. L. Fountain as superintend
ent pro tem during the illness of his
wife. Since she Recovered and has
been able to see after her personal
business, there has been discovered
about the poultry yard nine hens
bting on one nest in a barrel,- and
besides those nine, two others have
been found sitting on something
over seventy eggs. It seems that
from the steps Mr. Fountain was
taking, he intended to raise chick
ens by the wholesale, if the hens
in the barrel have eggsin ^proportion
to the other two, he will have a bar
rel of chickens soon, jf they hatch
well. If Mrs. Fountain wants to
have plenty of chickens, she had
better let her husband continue the
management of the poultry business.
The death of Mr. L. B. Aultman
last Friday night was regretted very
much by the people of this section.
We will give a more extended notice
of his death next week.
Mr. C. M. Hartley was with his
friends at Toy and Hatte Sunday.
Miss Maggie Reynolds, our popu
lar and efficient assistant school
teacher, was with home-folks at Toy
from last Friday afternoon to Sun
day afternoon.
Mr. A. S. Short of Hollinshead
visited the fair sex here last Sunday
afternoon. His recent visits have
begun to look suspicious, and some
of the young folks think he is reaily
in earnest.
MivA. W. Tabor spent last Sun
day afternoon with friends
Powersville.
near
ville; young Mr. Seagers has charge
of the place and will make it a mod
el farm. Mr. Seagers is quite a
young man, but is full of pluck and
energy. He will convert his farm
into the best and latest varieties of
fruit—peaches, plums, strawberries
and vegetables with the advice and
assistance of Mr. W. E. Warren, who
has for several years been engaged
in horticulture. No doubt Mr. Sea
gers will make a success. He put
out 7,000 fruit trees and one acre of
strawberries this spring, and will
put out 25,000 more trees next sea
son. Mr. Seagers is quite a nice
young man, and has made many
friends among our people.
Messrs. T, H. Brown and H. W.
English are in correspondence with
roller flour mill men with a view to
putting up a flour mill at Powers-
\ille, and also for a cotton seed oil
mill and ginnery. Powersville is one
of the best locations in the county
for a flour mill, and Messrs. Brown
and English are men of 'pluck, and
whenever they undertake to do a
thing they know no failure. Already
several applications from good men
have been made to take stock in the
enterprise if gotten up. At present
the outlook for a wheat crop is good,
and as we have but one roller mill in
the county, it would be impossible
for that mill to handle all the wheat
made in and around the county, as
the old stone rock flour mill is a
thing of the past. Mr. English says
he expects a representative of a roll
er mill company of Atlanta within a
few days, who will offer induce
ments to build a roller mill at Pow-
ville.

The C. R. R. boys of Macon will
come to Byron Friday,April 26th,
1901, to cross bats with the home
team for the first game at Wild
Wood Park this season.
On the same day last year By
ron defeated the Macon team by a
score of 18 to 2, and afterward
played them several times,coming
out victojious with the exception
of the last game,which Macon won
by a score of 6 to 5.
ThiBwill be a good game, as Ma
con has strengthed her team con
siderably since last season and is
now more capable of going against
the Byron Farmers than last sea
son.
Byron has also made some chan
ges in her line lip, owing to the
fact that she has lost her short
stop and left-fielder.
Bayne will pitch the first of the
game next Friday, as the present
physical condition of Middle-
brooks is no^ the best but, he will
^‘make Macon see her sins” the
latter part of the game. Coker,
will go to first base with a vim,
while Rushnig J., the plucky" first
baseman, will go second. New
man will play short-stop as he
has played second heretofore.
Walton will still hold down third
in his usual manner, and Ingram,
the crack-a-jack fielder, will go to
left field. Williams, the jolly
player of the team, will play cen
ter, while Rushing B., the small
champion of the county, will go
to right.
We hope to see a large crowd
out with the Byron colors floating
in the air and the merry roaters
of the Byron team in their liveli
est condition. “Umpire.”

It seems as if winter is very re
luctantly leaving us, and is now
giving us its parting kiss.
The farmers are somewhat blue
about the weather, for fear they
will have to re-plant the entire
cotton crop. The corn is looking
rather pale and sick, by this
morning, but we hope it is not in
jured enough to amount to any
thing serious.'
Mrs. Felder McGehee has a nice
music class now, and has nine pu
pils from Small Academy, besides
several others in the immediate
neighborhood. There will be
preaching here next Sunday after
noon at 8:80 o’clock, by Bro.
Whittington, and Sunday School
at 2 o’clock, so let’s everybody be
present.
