Ensign is proving to be a great factor in the building up of Oeilla. But it is our belief that his good work iri that direction has scarcely begun. He is a developer of the right kind. Mr. W. T. Phillips, of the eastern .part of the county, was in Oeilla Monday. He says he made the fin¬ est-oats this.year he ever saw, but he did not see John McMilLian’s seven-feet-four-inch oats.

The writer spent a few hours very pleasantly in Fitzgerald Tuesday, The city is moving forward at a healthy pace, and evidences of in- creased and substantial growth are not lacking. There is not a better c ity in the State to do business with) and though we go there btlt seldom, the will to go oftener is strong. Watt & Holmes, the hardware men, of Fitzgerald, received a car- load of bttggtc-s the other day, and notwithstanding they are first-class vehicles, the firm has decided to get rid of them, if popular prices will ! move them. Mr. Jesse Grantham, who lives about five miles southeast of town, preached his first sermon last Sun- ,,a y> at Spring Hill church, to an unusually large congregation. Those "'ho heard the sermon speak very highly of it.

They were the guests of Miss Carrie Sibley. Baptizing will take place at the Henderson lake Saturday morning at 8:3 «- Services will be held at church immediately after the bap- tizing, and thus will close a success¬ ful revival. Sixteen or more will be baptized. lion.

Strobell, while playing with a pistol last Sunday let it drop, which caused it to fire, instantly : killing his brother Bennie, aged nine m S trobeH lives about four miles east of Tifton. The sermons preached here during the week by Evangelist Martin, of Ozark, Ala., have been both power¬ ful and convincing. He has been preaching twice a day to large aud¬ iences, and quite a number of ac¬ cessions have been made to the church. Nas Paulk says last year he sold his cotton crop early and thus glut- - ted the market, causing prices to fall too low to be profitable. This year he will hold till late in the sea¬ son, and to this end has arranged with a merchant here to “run” him to the amount of 50 cents. Farmer George W. Handley is supplying the Oeilla market with onions. He planted what is called the “nest onion)” and one day re¬ cently he went out in his patch and scooped up eight bushels^ He gets one dollar a bushel for them and has no trouble in parting company with them. The matrimonial rush has subsid¬ ed and very few are hitching up for life nowadays,—B. C, News. That may be true of Berrien, but 1 it dices not hold good up here. Subsidence is not in sight here, b-ttt Chpid is 3s hard at work as if the 1 thermometer was in the thirties. Queer boy, that Cupid!
