FDWIN L. BRYAN,
t ATTORNEY-AT-LAW,
w the shipping season of
fruit from this county occasionally
some ludicrous incident happens
which momentarily takes the mind
off the real or imaginary dollar, and
gives spice to the business.
A few days ago a cantaloupe ship
per was partially loading a refriger
ator car at Byron, the car to be sent
to Powersville to finish out the load.
JuBt before the car left for Pow
ersville, our Hero asked the boys to
shut him up in the oar, and he would
go down with his cantaloupes. He
did not wish any one, especially the
conductor, to know of his enterprise.
The engineer had some shifting to
do. He moved this car onto anoth
er traok and it stopped. The inmate
rapped gently an the door, but no
response. For ’ the second time the
car was moved and stopped; he rap
ped again. Still no response. On’ce
again, the third time, the car was
moved and stopped. He thought
it had been left for the next train to
take down, and became exceedingly
anxious to get out. He gave two or
three hard raps, and what afterward
proved to be an Esquimaux yell.
Immediately the door of the car was
opened. He reached the ground aB
quick as possible, and while wiping
the unnatural perspiration from his
brow he made the following start
ling announcement?
“Gentlemen, you can state to the
world that Houston Gounty, State
of Georgia, U. S. of A., has the hon
or of having a man who has made a
quick and successful trip to the
North Pole. It has been the theory
that the climate there is very pleas
ant and agreeably but you can say
for the benefit of future explorers
that there is not a word of truth in
ij;. I know whereof I speak. I
have been there, but I am not going
back.”
With thjs he walked off, loaded
down with all the honor the occasion
afforded. B.

enclosing large plantations or small

hog Fence is being sold in great
jquantities throughout the south and
reports from all sections indicate
that the results exceed the expecta
tions aroused by the hearty recom
mendations of this fence by farmers
of the north and ranch owners of
the west.
Some of the features which make
this fence peculiarly adapted to the
needs of planters are its economy,
its great durability, the ease and
rapidity with which it can be erect
ed, and the complete protection it
affords to stock and crops. Such a
fence would not be possible except
ing for the low price prevailing for
steel products and the fact that it is
manufactured in enormous quanti
ties to supply the demand coming
from all parts of the country. It is
constructed of the best Bessemer
steel, heavily galvanized, and in the
quantity and quality of the galvan
izing and in the methods of weav
ing the fence there has been a great
improvement.

If A Man Lie To You.
Death of Mr. G. W. Johnston.
On Sunday afternoon about
four o’clock, July 12th, Thp An
gel of Death invaded our home
and took frorq. us one of our pur
est and best beloved “friends,”
Mr. Geo. W. Johnston.
He was a man that gave to the
worldga life so simple anck chaste,
so full of sweetness and goodness.
There was about him a personal
magnetism that drew children
and young people to him; they
all loved him and he loved.them:.
His grand-daughters were per
fectly devoted to him, because he
was so patient and sweet. He
would often tell them stories that
he had read, and about his war
affairs, which they enjoyed very
much, and would be willing to
listen to them time and time
again.
They haven’t a grandpa to lis
ten to how. Jesus has taken him
away, but they hope to meet him
ini heaven some sweet day, and
rest peacefully by bis side.
His Grand.-dauohter.
