Dennard Dots.
,By The Judge.
/
The “Judge” is one of the oldest
correspondents of the Home Journal,
both in years and service, and nat
urally feels an interest in reporting
the haps and mishaps of this section,
but, if “Dennard Dots” lack the vim
and spioe of other years, it may be
attributed to. the business engage
ments of their, author.
I have been around the court house
about a month and it seems to me
to be a very newsy place. I can’t
see what better field the Journal
man wants.
Judge Duncan advanoes the' idea
that there are too many people at
work in this country—too much be
ing produced—and that there would
be more prosperity for all if half of
the people would quit work entirely.
He also advances the idea that a
rogue never enters an open door,
and that looks are unnecessary. This
might work all right in a graveyard.
But to Dennard:
Farm operations have commenced
and every farmer has his eye on his
neighbor and imagines that he, him
self, is the only one who 'will plant
an extra large cotton crop.
There has been a marrying fever of
epidemio tendency among the young
people around Dennard. I prophesy
war, famine, or some 'other plague;
or it may be that in a few years
there will be an inorease in the pub
lic school attendance.
Miss Edna Harrison, the popular
teacher at Union Academy, went
down to Grovania last Frivay even
ing,her first visit to home-folks since
commencing school. She returned
Sunday afternoon on the G. S. & F.
to Kathleen, and they say a young
man from Perry just happened to be
there when the train came, and
brought her oUt to Mr. C. P. Pitts’,
her boarding place.
Mr. Tom Welloqs spent the starry
end of last Sunday with friends near
Dennard.
Mr. V. E. Heard’s dwelling house
is nearing completion, and when fin
ished it will be one of the most
beautiful homes in this section, and
quite probably in the county.
Torn Woodard is getting real
cross-eyed, trying to look at two
girls at the same time.
A Runaway Marriage.
Houston farmers will greatly ben
efit themselves by organizing and
ednduotingjan institute iu each com
munity, or militia district; A farm-
institute is but an old-time ag-
ers
Iu a buggy drawn by a mule a
man and woman entered Perry
last Sunday morning and stopped
at the court house.
Mr. George Kuuz was near by,
and he was ebon at the home of
Ordinary Hurst, a marriage li-
oense being desired.
As soon as practicable after the
license that had beeu procured, a
minister was sent for. Then about
10 o’clock, Rev. Albert S. Dix
performed the ceremony that
made man and wife of Mr, Wil
liam Oscar Whittington of Craw
ford county and Miss Lougenia
Greathouse of Fort Valley.
About a dozen men witnessed
the marriage in the court house.
^he groom appeared to be ajjout
85 years old, a farmer; the bride
i a.
apparently about 20.

—Mr. F, C. Day has been for
several weeks engaged in business
with the T J. Peacock Clothing
Company of Columbus. As trav
eling salesman his territory is
South Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina. For about a week he
was at home on account of the
serious illnes • of his sister, Mrs.
J, D. Martin, Jr. He left home
last Saturday for Florida, and
will be on the road three weeks
before returning home again.
Mr. Day is wall versed in business
and we dare say will prove him
self very valuable to the company
with which he is engaged. His
many friends here wish him much
success.

opened in Maoon, frontiug on

Cheatham Drug & Seed Co. The
firm is at the top as to character,

ricultural club or society under a
new name. We all know that in no
one man is centered all knowledge,
but that each learns something from
others. An institute could be made
to embrace the farmers, their wives,
sons and daughters of one district o
more, with monthly meetings ar
ranged to "include pleasing social
features. At these meetings there
could be an informal exchange of
opinions concerning actual farm
work and management, as well as
recitals of practical experience. Fur-
thur, there could be competitive ri
valry in crop production, giving in
centive to improvement in every de
partment of agricultural industry.
We would be pleased to hear from
some of ..our progressive farmers on
this subject.

An evidence of what the republi
can leaders think of the president’s
negro policy is furnished by the ac
tion of the Commerce Committee of
the Senate, which has determined to
turn down the nomination of /Dr.
Crum,"'the negro appointed collector,
of the port of Charleston, S. 0. Al
though an earnest effort has been
made to defend the Indianola post-
office case, it isdreely.admitted, con
fidentially, that the president has se
riously blundered in that respect and
has caused grave embarrassment to
his party. Moreover, he is at outs
with his Secretary of the Treasury,
who declares that Mr. Roosevelt is
coquetting with free silver and stul
tifying the rebublican platform.—
Wasnington Correspondence.
Georgia farmers need to learn how
to keep Irish potatoes. With the
ability to grow hundreds of bushels
per acre, Georgia farmers sell ex
ceedingly few Irish potatoes, and
eat none of Georgia growth except
in April, May and June. The money
paid by Georgians for Irish potatoes
grown ip other states would add
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the casa accounts pi'Georgia farm
ers.
