Within the last several days the
weather has given this locality all
the phases of winter , time except
heavy frost, sleet and snow. How
ever disagreeable these abrupt
changes may be, the conditions here
are most admirable in comparison
with the blizzards, heavy snow
storms and the below-zero records
of the northern and north-western
states. Yerily, we should not com
plain about our weather.
On last Thursday there was rnuoh
wind, and the temperature was in
the vicinity of the freezing point in
the early morning and at night.
Friday there was slight modera
tion, but the light clouds suggested
the possibility of snow.
Saturday there was a material fall
of temperature,decidedly cold in the
early mording and wind enough to
make it disagreeable throughout the
day. Heavy feathery eloudsTed the
people to expect snow. After night
fall, however, the weather moderat
ed slightly, and there was consider
able rain during the latter part of
the night and Sunday morning.
Again the clouds suggested snow,
but it didn’t come.
Sunday night the weather again
grew colder, and early Monday
morning the thermometers register
ed 28 at Perry. During the day
there was muoh wind, and altogeth
er the day was said to be the cold
est of the winter ug to that time,
The weather bureau at Macon
predicted a drop in temperature
during the night, and a register of
from 10 to 18 Tuesday morning, but
the fall was not quite so low, stop
ping at 24 degrees. There was con
siderable ice and the ground was
frozen hard, but the weather was
more agreeable throughout the day,
the sun shining from an almost
cloudless sky.
Wednesday morning was cloudy,
and not so cold as the previous
morning.

—Following their annual cus
tom, the members of Houston
Lodge No. 85 F & A, M. enjoyed
an oyster supper after the conclu
sion of the regular lodge meeting
last Friday night. Members of
neighboring lodges wore invited,
but there was a special meeting of
Elko lodge that night, and for
business reasons others oould not
oome. There was work in the
third dogree. At the Perry Ho

Jennie Garrison, and stewed oya*
ters, fried oysters, and oysters
raw were voted superb, the entire
service proving Mrs. Garrison an
expert oulinary artist. Altogeth
er the affair was decidedly enjoy
able.

In the law office of Mr. M. G.
Bayue in Macon, last Monday, Mr.
Robert Rigsby was shot and killed
by Mrs. Effie L. Oarson. Mrs. Oar-
son was a teacher in the Georgia
Alabama Business College, and the
deceased a student of the Lanier
Business College, both of Macon.
The shooting was the result of a re
port that Rigsby had repeated state
ments derogatory to Mrs. Carson’s
character. The two were in the at
torney’s office for the purpose of ad
justing the matter when the shoot
ing occurred. Mrs. Carson delivered
herself to the sheriff, and was re
leased under a bond of $1,000.

Brokers of St. Louis are issuing
circular letters advising the pur
chase of ojrn futures for May as an
investment. They argue that the
ppce is sure to advance, aud the' rea
sons they give appear plausible.
However, it is reasonable to assume
that these brokers would reap much
profit from a material rise in the
price of corn, and such a rise would
surely follow the general purchase
of corn as is advised. In our opin
ion it is well to let futures alone.
From Chicago it is reported that
the coal dealers of that city have
combined to keep the price of coal
outrageously high while the poorer
people are suffering for fuel. Last
Saturday a special grand jury was
summoned to investigate the charge
that the coal dealers were parties to
a combination in defiance of law. It
is such conditions as this that in
cline the poorer people to believe
that those who control much money
are their enemies in business affairs.
Ppesident Roosevelt has appoint
ed a man of negro blood, William
H. Lewis, Assistant United States
Attorney at Boston, Mass. Report
says the man is nearly white, a grad
uate of Harvard University and a
lawyer of Boston. Evidently this
appointment was made to disarm
criticisms of the president’s policy
of appointing negroes to important
offices in the South in opposition to
the wishes of a majority the people.
