Christmas is over, and the good old year has passed away, and with its pleasures and sorrows, some of us will feel that we have made many errors that could have been avoided if we had used good judgment. But this is all a matter af the past, and all that we can do is to make good resolutions and come up to them for the year 1902. Well, I will just give yau a brief sketch of our Christmas times. On Christmas day I was invited to din- her by Mr. J. G. Crawford, at the nome of Mrs. Josephine Baird. The dinner was just superb—turkey, am brosia, cakes and other goodies too numerous to mention. On the fol lowing Monday myself and Mrs. Bedge dined with her sister, Mrs. Mary D. Gilbert. Turkey, cakes, jelly, fruits, sillabub, nick-nacks, etc. Everything was in style and well served, and I took on enough to re member that dinner until next Christmas. On Dec. 26th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Brown, their daught er, Miss Mary, quite a large number of her friends from Hawkinsville, Perry, Elko, Henderson, Unadilla, Grovania and other points. We have been informed it was a most pleasant occasion, and the guests most hospitably entertained. Some two or three weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Houser gave an en tertainment in honor of Miss Mattie Miller. Quite a number attended from various places, and it was an enjoyable occasion. Refreshments were served in unique style. There was a hop, I have been told, at the home of Mr. T. B. Edmund- son last Friday night at Hayneville, that lasted until Saturday morning. Capt. Coot Faulkner of Elko brought quite a large number from The Pas ture. Capt. Coot, I notice, carries a pair of handcuffs hanging up in his buggy. The Grovania school opened this morning, with Mrs. Nellie H. Grims- ley as principal. Mrs. Grimsley has made a favorable impression with us, and we cordially welcome her, wishing her much success with her school. Jnstice court again last Saturday at Hayneville. Maj. Bob Holtzclaw and Col. Kunz of Perry were on hand, but continued their cases, ex cept one which Col. Kunz represent ed and gained. The Colonel was very mild in hiB address this time, Col. M. S. Means not being on hand. After court adjourned I wub invited by Mr. G. T. Brown to take dinner with him, which, of course, I accept ed, and enjoyed a good dinner,which his most estimable lady knows how to prepare. Mr. W. G. Fitzgerald was all smiles Christmas—a Christmas week pres ent—a girl, Mr. W. S. Riley has been smiling ever since Thanksgiv ing day—a girl. Mr. F. A. Riley has been laughing ever since laying by crops about his plow boy. , We regret to note that Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Napier lost their little boy, Freeman, on Christmas eve, having beeu sick only about a day. The immediate cause of his death was membranous croup. Little Free man was not quite 4 years old, and was a bright boy and the picture of health. He was interred iu the Hayneville cemetery. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved parents. The firm of J. J. Houser & Co. has been dissolved by mutual con sent. Mr. W. S. Riley, of the firm, has opened business for himself in the store known as the Ellis house, which he htjs remodeled, and will carry a stock of general merchan dise. Mr. Dempsey Brown, who is at tending the Atianta College of Pharmacy, spent the Christmas hol idays with, home folks. Mr. Rob. B. Gilbert of Greenville, Ga., spent a few days with his moth er last week. Much obliged to you, Miss Mary, for that nice music on the piano Christmas morning. Mr. Joe Q. Ellis says that was a mighty pretty Christmas present he got in that rat trap, but does not like the odor. I hope you had a merry Christ mas, Mr, Editor, and wish you a prosperous new year.

Knowing that the best interests of cotton growers and all farmers Of Georgia will be better served by the manufacture of cotton within the state, or near the cot ton fields, we take pleasure in re producing from the Maoon Tele graph the following notice of a young, prospering and progressive cotton mill: “At a meeting of the stockhold ers of the Willingham Cotton Mills held on January 1st, at the office of the company, the capital stock was increased $50,000, which now gives that corporation a paid- up capital of $250,000. The stock holders also agreed to add to their present eqipment 120 wide duck looms and 4,000 spindles with other complement machin ery. ( “The mills have been in opera tion two } T ears and are now enter ing their third year. The success of the enterprise has been highly encouraging to all parties concern ed. Mr. C. B.

He was notified of the killing in the coun ty Wednesday night previous, aud to investigate that homicide was his only purpose in coming. He went out to the scene of the kill ing, investigated the circumstan ces of the homicide, the surround- ing, etc., and that afternoon he represented the state in the com mitment trial. He was satisfied, from his investigation, that the killing was murder. Solicitor Brunson deserves much praise for this act of devotion to duty, as his coming was not obligatory un der the law, will not add to his revenue, but the expenses of the trip were paid from his own pock et and cannot be recovered. — ■’ Mr. Ott Collier has moved to Houston with his family from Pike county,, and they are living on the Rogers farm near Perry.
