Our farmers have begun to harvest their grain, and some of them have finished chopping cotton. The rain and hail on Saturday finished chop- ping the cotton of those who had not completed, that work. Messrs. R. R. Smith and R. C* Ault man have the finest com in this community, and Mr. R. W. Hartley has the best wheat around here. A good many our our farmers set out their pototoes last week. Mr. R. R. Smith says he will be eating potatoes about the middle of June. I guess he was talking about Irish potatoes. Mr. J. W. Tabor says he Will have the first watermelon in our town. Mr. J. A. Arnold has been faring well for the past two weeks—riding his baby up and down the road in a little wagon. Will Tabor of Macon visited home folks, and another, last Friday. A marriage is talked about. J. S. Tabor and wife of Taborton w‘ere with-home folks here from last Thursday to Saturday evening. Two Hollinshead young men were in our village a week or two ago after chill tonic for their brother, who was very ill, they said. I don’t think he has improved any yet. Mr. C. M. Hartley was in Fort Valley last week on business. • Dr. White of Macon was unable to come down aud deliver his ad dress to the pupils and patrons of take View academy last Thursday night. We hope, however, that he will be able to give us a lecture in the near future. A good many young people of Claud attended the picnic at Union Academy last Saturday. In the af ternoon Hon. Joe Hall of Macon de livered a speech, which was appre ciated very much by all. Mr. R. W. Hartley has lost his dog, and all of his kittens but one have died.

The Fort Valley Courier is the newest candidate for public favor. The first issue was published at Fort Valley last Friday, by The Courier Publishing Co., with Mr. Emmett Houser as editor and manager. The paper is a six-column folio, and the make-up shows, the handiwork of an experienced printer. Editor Houser is well qualified by experience and native talent for the work he has undertaken, and we cordially wel come him into the journalistic field. It is pleasing to note that the Cou rier and the Leader do not each re gard the other as a rival, but as a co-worker. May they dwell togeth er in harmony, and each earn and receive a full measure of profit. It ii said the crude product of the new oil wells in Texas will be extensively used as fuel. Of the sit uation the chief geologist of the U. S. geological survey says, in part: “The importance of this oil field is greater than at present can be des cribed or estimated. It means not only a cheap fuel supply to the larg est state area in the Union, but ow ing to its proximity to tidewater, it promises an export trade such as ex ists nowhere else in the world. Prep arations are being made to sink hun dreds of wells and very soon the present output of 500,000 barrels a day may be quadrupled. It is said the railroad being built to Hawkinsville by a firm of lumber men will be sold when completed, and that the Central Railroad, through the mightsyille & Ten- affle, has an option on it.

A Middlebrooks quite a large crowd gathered on Sunday, May 19 th, to enjoy a birth day dinner, given in honor of their son, Asa, it being his 21st birthday. All present enjoyed a very nice time, and say they wish Asa could recall one or two years, so he would be 21 again. The crowd left the house in the morning, and enjoyed a very effect ive sermon preached by Mr. Clem- ans, pastor of Byron Baptist church. After preaching they returned home, and engaged in enjoyable conversa tion until the hour of dinner time drew near, when Miss Ollie Middle- brooks invited aU out to dinner, to which all responded promptly. The table was beautifully deco.ated with pretty flowers, plucked by the ten der mercies of all present for the oc casion upon which they were used. Not only flowers were there, but one of the finest trimmed tables, patient ly waiting for the guests to come in and indulge in the useful folly. In the afternoon, while all were m the elegantly furnished parlor, Mr. Willie Williams gave an exhibi tion of his joyful laugh, which was a concert to some, especially those who had never heard it before. The entire afternoon was one of the hap piest of their lives. Those present, as they went to dinner, were: Miss Lillie Rushing and Mr. Asa Middlebrooks, Miss Daisy Rushing and Mr. Eldridge Ingram, Miss Bessie Cline and Mr. Burke Williams, Miss Ollie Middle brooks and Dr. G. P. Cline, Miss Carrie Middlebrooks and Mr. Alva Lowe, Miss Allie Frank Middle brooks and Mr. Buford C. Rushing.
