By Pineapple.
Everything is moving along in up-
to-date style. We have a telephone
office here now, and it provides us
communication with Hawkinsville
and Macon. Both are interesting
points to commune with.
Rev. W. L. Gutts of Marshallville
gave us a very interesting talk Sun
day; we also had preaching Satur
day afternoon. .This was Bro.
Outt’s first visit here. I feel confi
dent in saying he made a fine impres
sion upon all who heard bis talk.
He also preached a very interesting
sermon Sunday at Grovania in the
Methodist ehuroh. We are trying
to organize a Sunday School in our
church. There will be preaohing at
this church every second Sunday and
Saturday by the Baptists, and we
have given our consent for the Meth
odists to have preaohing 6very 4th
Sunday. So all come who can, to
attend services on the second Satur
day and Sunday, and also the fourth.
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Fitzgerald
and baby, spent Sunday with the
parents of Mrs. Fitzgerald in our
village.
Miss Lillie B. Skipper is visiting
Mrs. Fitzgerald of Grovania.
Mr. M. H. Daniel, who is our only
“bachelor” near by, spent Sunday
with his parents.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Till and lit
tle daughter, and Mrs. Faughtner
of Eiko, were among our congrega
tion Sunday at church.
The new school house is now
about completed, and adds much to
the looks of our little village.
We are now prepared to accom
modate more children at school; and
our “little” up-to-date teacher is
controlling the children very well,
advancing them.
The farmers are very well up with
their crops, considering so much
rain. The grain is looking fine.
It is very much feared our fruit
will be somewhat short. on aocount
of the excessive cold, but hope that
is over now.
We are to have a marriage in our
village before the 1st of June, if cer
tain signs count as we think.

At a meeting of the Georgia Fruit
Growers Association at Macon last
Thursday, a resolution was adopted
providing for an agreement tbVsbjD
peaches and other fruits only to such
commiasion men as are known to be
reliable, and a committee was ap
pointed to prepare a list of such
commission men aud firms. The
•commission men and firms selected
will be requested to sign an agree
ment to thoroughly co-operate with
the fruit growers in selling the fruit
and in furnishing necessary infor
mation during the shipping season.
During the meeting it was stated
that freight rates to eastern points
are much higher than to western
points, and a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the railroad
authorities with the purpose in view
of equalizing the rates.

Letter to Mr. J. D. Martin.
Perry, Ga.
Dear Sir: Looks suspicious—any
offer of “Something for nothing”
does, unless made by an eminently
responsible house, and with proper
explanations. We offer you “Free
Paint” for your house, because it
helps us to establish an agency at
your place.
Any Mercantile Agency or Bank
will tell you that our rating is “BIG”
and our credit “HIGHEST.”
If yon or any other house-owner
intends painting this Spring, send
us dimensions of house, and number
of coats of paint required, and we
will send some tasty color combina
tions, and advice as to the number
of gallons we’ll ship you “for noth
ing.” _
It is conceded by all makers, that
we are the largest manufacturers of
Prepared Paint in the U. S.; deserv
edly s U} as' L. & M. is the only
PURE PAINT that stands the ad
dition of much Linseed Oil—covers
better; lasts longer; and costs less
than pure white lead. Glad to hear
from 'you.
Very sincerely,
Longman & Martinez,
Paint Makers,

Monday sent by telegraph.
