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.— Albany Herald, 1st. Bcerd of Education. The Board of Education met at. the Academy on Thursday night, July 27lh, all the members of the Board being present, and made tho following regulations to govern the Oeilla High School for the next scholastic year: The school will begin on tho first Monday in September, and the year shall be comprised oi nine scholas¬ tic mouths.

Suppose there must be some “magnetic power” in that part of the country.” July 30. V. & T. 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.
