Miss Rilij Tucker’: ..fivh 3.*' garden
has entirely rccovpjred frog) ,the kill¬
ing freeze of last, winder, aqd is a
eharmiag sight. A bush of white
hydrangias, wjiieii* has a spread of
perhaps fifteen foot in circumfer¬
ence, present# a magnificent ap¬
pearance and the flowers exhale a
delightful odor. Mfiss Tucker’s col¬
lection of flowers is a line one and
shows excellent taste and judgment
in selection.
A negro .calling himself Dr. C. C.
McRae wag an .-itsted Monday by
Deputy. Sheriff Geo. J, Paulk for
passing Counterfeit money, Three
other negroes—Jennie Williams,
licr daughter and a man named
Copeland—were also arrested and
lodged in Irwinville jail, For
several weeks counterfeit silver
dollars have been passed here, and
it was suspected that a gang was at
work, but no clue could be obtain¬
ed until Deputy Paulk got in some
clever detective work and gobbled
up at least part of the gang.
Oeilla lost two excellent would-be
citizens this week lvccause they
could not find houses to rent,. We
do not know how many more have
been turned away by the same
cause, but tho number is consider¬
able, and each of them have gone
away with the tale that-no one with
a family should seek to locate here.
It may l>e the wiser plan to force
people who desire to legate here to
b.uiid th.eir own .bouse or stay away,
but there is room for grave doubt.
Half a dozen or more cottages
Would doubtless be rented in ad¬
vance of completion, end a long
felt want.would be tilled.
Tho swimming pool at Bowen’s
raid is one of the grandest bathing
places in the south. The pool is
supplied from a 000-feet artesian
well near by, and the inpouring and
outpouring streams are so regulated
that the water in the pool is kept
at the same depth and is as clear as
a crystal. Once a week every drop
of the water is let off and the pool
scoured as clean as a parlor floor.
On one side of the pool is a long
row of dressing A rooms for ladies,
and on the other a like number for
men. The pool varies in .depth from ,
three and a half to seven feet. At
the end where the water is deepest
' is a springboard, which is just, 'ftm-
' turn. Near the pool is a dancing
pavillioti, and under adjacent oaks,
which furnish a magnificent shade,
are benches and tables, and swings;
mid at the wharf are moored ;i num¬
ber of • excellent boats, which arc*
if ,ou want to have
a 1 lay of sure-enough enjoyment, go
to Bowen’s mill.
AUNT SOFtJONY\SAYS
That the stores ought to done at
0 o’clock. Even clerks like to
have a little timo for courting.
That a harking dog is generally
the last to bite, and even then it
isn’t much of a bite.
That children should bo kept
away from the parlor when it is
occupied by two young people
are struggling to arrange to live to¬
gether in peace and harmony the
balance of their lives.
That slip known housekeepers
who keep an eye an a half on the,
cook room, kitchen and the. rear
rooms of the dwelling generally,
leaving only half ar eye, so tp ;peak,
for the parlor and front part of the
house, and .she knows those house
keepers have gpt it down right.
That if her beau was to refuse to,
take her to Bob Bowen’s swimming
pool and learn her how to swim
after she got there, she would take
it for grallied,he wanted to leave the
avenue that leaves the route through
wa^cr to the gravy open to her, in
hope of thus becoming in time, a
y.ouiig widower, and he might go!
That Bob Bowen is the politest
man to the ladies she knows, in the
swimming pool. She dosen’t mind
learning to,swim with such a care¬
ful and good-looking tutor. In fact,
he’s mighty polite everywhere.
That she sees no harm in inno¬
cent recreation at any time, though
she has nothing to say against those
who differ with her. Let in the
sunshine whenever an opportunity
presents itself, and life will be bet¬
ter worth living.
That she noticed a young man
come into church Sunday night
vith his coat buttone({ up t0 hi8
chin, liot as it was, and she knew,
in b.er own mind, that his wash¬
woman had loaned out his other
shirt. Thus do good people some¬
times have to suffer for tire sins of
others.
That even the longest life is short,
therefore we should try to avoid
letting, anything disagreeable enter
into it. Pleasant words and looks
cost nothing, and yet they aye
precious. Combined with kind
deeds, they sfe gloom-destroyers of
the first magnitude. If you just
can’t be a sunbeam, at least don’t be.
a storm-center!
News reached the city this morn¬
ing of the death of Dr. G. B. Wat¬
son, which occurred last night 3t
Miliedgeville, where he was a pa¬
tient in the state sanitarium. Dr.
Watson was until a short time since
a resident of East Dougherty,where
ho enjoyed a lucrative medical prac¬
tice. Several months ago his health
failed and he became a confirmed
invalid, lie spent some time in
Albany under the care of local
physicians, but bis mind finally gave
way and it became necessary to send
him to live state sanitarium for
treatment. In bis weakened condi¬
tion, however, be was unable to
rally, and died as above stated.—

Letter From Florida.
Whits Springs, Fla., July 81,
1899 : Perhaps a few lines from this
favored section would be of interest
to yonr readers. The oxireern heat
of the Inst few days renders it
rather unpleasant for the many
pleasure seekers, who are here from
various sections.
But there is one consolation for
all; the spring is handy, and it re¬
quires but a few minutes for one to
get cool as ho desires.
This spring, about 36x60 feet is
a plunging volume of water pour¬
ing into the Suwannee river twenty-
five thousand gallons per minute.
Strongly impregnated with sulphur,
bubbling with health-giving gases,
vitalized with the hidden forces of
nature, laden with tho strength and
vigor drawn from the bosdm of
mother earth deep in underground
caverns, it bursts through barriers
of rock and brings health and drink
of its crystal water.
It affects one with a feeling of
■wonder to see those who but a few
weeks ago were unable to walk,
lame with rheumatism, now going
about, on foot. After remaining
here, for a l'e-W davs ' one cannot
greatly , wonder at the ideas 0£ „ tho

As shown by unlysis it is good for

and various maladies caused by im¬
pure blood. The hotels being over¬
run most of the time, wo find very
poor accommodations, We are
well fed but sleeping room ia a
scarcity. There are times when
people are turned off.
This place affords an excellent
opportunity for some capitalist to
make a fortune. One can find al-
rnortt any kind of amusement he
may desire, hut those indulged in
mostly are flirtations and base-ball
games* We expect throe games

There was quite an interesting

victorious.
