fused to accept. We are reliably in
formed that the Commissioners will
be sued for the entire expenses.
The editor spent a few hours in Bu
ford on last Tuesday and secured quite j
a good number of new subscribers and
some job work. By the way, Buford is
a good town, and a more enterprising
and thrifty citizenship can seldom be
found in any town of its size in the
state Everyone with whom we had
any conversation was bragging on the
town. This is the right sort of spirit,
and no town will succeed, and ought
to succeed whose own citizens are
growlers and grumblers.
Mr. M. S. Cornett, our famous mule
dealer, left for Missouri and Kentucky
today (Thursday). Mack says he has
had more calls for spring mules this
fall than any time before. You can
count on up-to-date stoc|t and prices to
correspond with the times upon his re
turn. This is only further evidence of
the interest in farming through this
section. It’s as uncommon now to see
a man plowing with one mule as it was
two years ago to see two. There can
be no doubt but that people are being
forced to farm differently, and we hop"
to see this move greatly increased
yet. Plow deep'.

Isam Davis and his brother, Jesse,
fought a bloody duel. Isam was spend
ing Hie afternoon at Widow Timms,’
and when Jesse arrived, the doors were
closed, and he was told time he could
not enter. On pushing against the
door, it Hew open, and both began
fighting. Jesse says that after they
had fought awhile, Isam drew his pis
tol oil him. At any rate, Jesse left the
house, went up to his mother’s home,
got a double barreled breach-loading
shot-gun, and returned to renew the
battle. When lie got within about 75

ing at each other. Isam shot fifteen

The Teachers Meet.
Oil account of the inclemency of the
weather, the Teachers’ Association at
Auburn on last Saturday was poorly
attended, yet a very interesting meet
ing was held. Professors Flanigan
and Maxwell, tile two able teachers in
charge at Auburn, extended their fel
low teachers a cordial welcome, and
all of them seemed to enjoy themselves.
Captain S. D. Brad well, President
of the State Normal College at Athens,
delivered a very interesting and in
structive address. In speaking about
liia school, he said that 741 pupils had
been enrolled during the school year
Just closed, and tie expects to have a
1000 teachers in attendance during the
next session.
The editor was there, but as he is
no longer a teacher, and was thereby
barred from membership, lie was not
allowed to be heard. However, about
12 o’clock when the question came up
as to whether the program should be
finished before dinner or there should
he an afternoon session, and it seemed
that dinner was to he indefinitely post
poned, the editor broke harness, joined
in rank*. with his old comrades, and
took a strong stand for dinner, Cap
tain Bradwell, in his address, had said
so much about biscuit and chicken
that the teachers were so hungry that
the dinner crowd easily won.
We left on the 2 o’clock train and do
not know what was done in the after
noon. We are informed that the next
meeting will be held in Trip on tile
second .Saturday in next January.
Only Four to Spend the Holidays In Law
rence ville Jail.
Wliiie the burning of powder and
merry shouts of the children will an
nounce the arrival of Christmas Mon
day week, it will possibly come to these
unfortunate beings in another way.
While they are shut out from tile
glad tidings of Christmas greetings
this time, there was a time when they
were young and happy on Christmas
mornings. All being young men,it has
been hut a few years since they were
the same anxious Santa-Claus admirers
that we will see this year. But Christ
mas this year will bring them sadness,
yet we hope that some cheering word
will come to them from mother, father
or friends. '
It’s a sweet thought to recall a
Christmas morning when all were
aglow with smiles, circled around the
fireside. The presents brought happi
ness to the children, and the enchant
ing smiles of the children broughtglo
rious hearts and lovely faces to the
father and mother. Those were good
times, and all would like to live them
a dozen times o’er, but nay.
The four confined in the jail here are
W. 11. Wilburn, from Cains district!
charged with assault with intent to
murder. Starling Coggings, who was
convicted of burglary at September
