Our family was greatly saddened
one morning last week when the
hostler announced that he had found
Lady Bess, our faithful old family
horse, dead in the stable. For many
years Lady Bess had done us most
valuable service. Being swift, both
in harness and under the saddle,
and was bo perfectly gentle, it was
always a great pleasure to draw the
lines over her. For two years she
served as school horse for the chil
dren, and so devoted did she grow
to them, and so true to the trust,
that she would not move until she
had counted ard saw that they were
all seated; and it is- the proud boast
of the children. that during those
two years no one was ever able to
ftass or drive around them. The
girls rode her in many exciting fox
chases, and it was a pretty sight to
see the grand steed clearing the
fenoos and gullies with the ease of a
deer, and always bearing her rider
with the fore.most of the chase. On
hearing of the death of Lady Bess,
her mistress was moved to tears, and
insisted that a grave should be pre
pared and the faithful old horse de
cently buried, v
LaGrippe is on the march through

and coming; but no severe cases re
ported.
Mr. Roy L. Speight, of Unadilla,
was on the Hill this week.
Miss Minnie Langston, who has
been suffering with a light attack of
pneumonia, is much better.
Mr. Butler Hardison of Hender
son passed over the Hill Sunday to
make his weekly visit to Perry.
Dr. S. S. Taylor passed over the
Hill to-day, and during pleasant
convocation denied the report that
he would be a candidate for the sen
ate, but said he may again stand for
the lower house.
Many people have expressed re
gret that Hon. Pope Brown has
withdrawn from the race for the
governorship. Mr. Brown is very
popular here, and his many friends
were anxious for him to make the
race.

-Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Hayes and

Oa account of illness, Rev. J.

The first quarterly conference
of the Byron charge was postpon
ed Saturday on account of the
Big Crop of Peaches Expected.
As there are more peach trees
in Houston than in any other
county in the world, anything
concerning the prospective crop
is interesting to our people.There-
fore we reproduce the following
from State Entomologist, W. M.
Scott, who returned to Atlanta
several days ago from a trip of
inspection through the fruit grow
ing sections of Georgia:
“I have visited nearly every
orchard of, any note in the state
recently, and while the trees are
somewhat infected with San Jose
Beale, the orchard owners no lon
ger fear it. I do not suppose that
there is much hope of stamping
it out effectually, but we have it
under control, and no more or
chards will be killed.
‘•Many of the orchards are iii
fine condition and X have never
seen so many buds before. If
there is no more cold weather the
peach crop in Georgia this year
will be larger than ever before. I
find on my travels that many new
trees are being planted, and after
a careful estimate, I think that as
many as two million trees were
set out in Georgia last year.”
Mr. Scott says that crude pe
troleum is being used now to spray
trees infected with San Jose ecale,
and the general opinion is that
it works better than kerosene oil.
—Judge Duncan of the Houston
County court wisely says: “A po
litician should be either a very
poor man. or very rich. In the
first instance he has nothing to
lose, and in the other, he is able
to stand it.”

The infant daughter of Mr. aud
Mrs. Hugh Arnold of Dunbar
was buried here Monday after
noon, Rev. J. G. Cline conducted
the funeral Services.
Twenty-three prominent citizens
of Fort Yalley have signed a peti
tion asking the candidates for gov
ernor to discuss the questions at is
sue in a joint debate at Fort Valley,
the day to be agreed upon and ap
pointed by the candidates. To those
who enjoy excitement such a discus
sion would be intensely interesting,
no doubt, but we do not believe
anybody would be really benefitted.
On such occasions the speakers are
apt to devote too miich attention
and speech to the foibles of the op
posing candidates. There is but one
good, in our opinion, that can result
from jojut debates. Each candidate
is likelybco display the quality of his
temper,'and whether or not he can
control it. But even that would not
prove conclusively which ought to
be elected governor.
Hon. E. B, Lewis has introduced
a bill in congress for the erection of
a public building in the city of
Hawkinsville; the cost of said build
ing not to exceed fifty thousand
dollars. Hawkinsville appreciates
the interest being manifested in her
behalf by our able congressman, and
hopes he will be successful in his ef
forts to secure for us a nice public
building.—Hawkinsville Dispatch.

The withdrawal of Pope Brown
from the gubernatorial race makes it
easy, we believe, for Col. Guerry to
receive a majority vote in Houston
county. This opinion is not deliv
ered on the expansion plan.

In Houston county there are thous- j
andB of acres of land admirably,
adapted to stock raising on an ex- j
tensive scale. Adjacent to Ocmul- j
gee river, at points on Limestone,
and Big Indian creeks, "and on the '
lime ridge traversing the county j
nearly east and west, several exten
sive stock farms could be establish- ;
ed. It has been practically demon
strated that cattle raising can be
made profitable in Georgia. If the j
owners of the land in question do
not desire to engage alone in stock
raising, a joint stock company could
be formed.
