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.

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.” —The Sunday schools of Perry have been invited to join the Sun day schools of Elko in a May pic nic at Beech Haven.
