Houser is making prep, arations for the erection of a new ginnery, which, when completed, will have a capacity of fifty bales per day. The public gins of this vicini ty have been very badly crowded for the past few seasons, and it is said that one, if not more, will retire from public service after the present crop is finished; therefore the farm ers will have cause to appreciate this new ginnery.

She joined Providence Methodist Church when a child, was ever de voted to its irue interest, and lived a blameless life. She was above fch^ .average woman in mind, heart and life, shedding the brightness of suh- shine o\er home and community. Her devotion to mother, brothers and sister was without limit,and her kindliness and charity of heart to her neighbors were true and pure. Her loss to family, community and church is sorely grievous. But her time had come to depart aud she was ready, and rejoiced v at the approach of the angels who appear ed to escort her home. May the blessings of heaven rest on her aged mother, so soon to follow. Pastor. Miss Allen had been in declining health a year or more—afflicted with consumption—and for several weeks prior to her death she had beeu crit ically ill. She died Friday, October 31st, and cn Saturday, November J, the interment was in the cemetery at Fort Valley. During her last illness the atten tion of neighbors and friends was constant and kind, and at the burial the large attendance attested the high place she held in the affections of those who knew her. The bereaved family have the sin cere sympathy of their many friends. Death of Mrs. A. F. Smith. Mrs. Eugenia Smith, wife of Mr. Alexander F. Smith, died at their home in the upper 5tb district, near Dunbar, last Sunday afternoon. Death came suddenly, she being at the time apparently in perfect health. Relatives were guest's at the Smith home that day, and Mrs. Smith ate a hearty dinner. ~ For a short while after dinner Mrs. Smith was alone in the parlor. An unusual noise was heard, and when Mrs. Busby came hurriedly into the room, Mrs. <|j>mith was on the floor, dead, having fallen from the chair in which she had been sitting. — The burial was at Union Church, Crawford county, Mouday, Novem ber 3rd. Mrs. Smith was a daughter of the late Mr. J. E. Rushing of near By ron, was between 35 and 40 years of age; a most estimable lady. She leaves bereaved a devoted husband, four sons, two daughters, three brothers and two sisters, and to these their many friends extend tender sympathy. —It was reported last week that there was a case of small pox,—a negro man—on the farm of Mr. Virgil E. Heard on the Macon road about 2 miles north of Dennard. Dr. R. L. Cater verified the report, and proper precautions were at once enforc ed to prevent the disease from spreading. The house is one in which were two light cases in 1900, but no report having been made, the house was not cieansed and fumigated as were all others known to the authorities. Hon. S. S. Taylor of the Lower 14th district will soon move with his family to Montezuma, and occu py the handsome residence now in course of erection. Mr. Taylor is an excellent citizen, and his many' friends in Houston will regret the removal of himself and family to Macon county. His removal will also make vacant the office of jus tice of the peace of that district. Readers of the Youoh’s Compan ion will this week be enabled to compare President Roosevelt’s ac tions as chief executive with his opinions of presidential duties ex pressed while he was governor of New York. In 1900 the article was written, and is printed this week. Possibly the comparison will be be tween what is and what should be. —Genuine Texas Seed Oats. F. M. Houser.

Ever stop to think why he ap pears s,o uneasy ? ISfine times out of ten it’s be cause his clothes bother him. His coat collar bobs up to his ears when he sits down, or the hem in his trousers has an insane desire to rest on his ankle bone. Perhaps ’tis simply the vest that causes the trouble, and when it taps him on the lower extremity of his left ear the “Fidg ety Man” can be seen at his best. Men who wear our clothes don’t fidgest.
