they are, and invariably. We are

Spring has about set in we think.
“In this goblet rich and deep—”
I’ve wanted you two hours.

—or it should be so, at least.
We had a delightful serenade on
last Saturday night. Thanks, boys.
Prof. Barnett, we learn will take his
school children on a fishing frolic next
Friday.
Misses E. Morton, and Clara Davis,
are on a vist to Judge Jackson and
family.
Mr. C. H. Crow, of Oglethorpe county,
was in town on Saturday and Sunday
last, on a visitto his father’s family.
Mr. Ed. Wilson and family hare
been on a visit to Judge J. C. Wilson
and family, for several days the past
week.
Several communications, locals, noti
oes, etc., are crowded out of this issue.
They shall certainly appear in the next
paper.
Col. W. M. Pope, and daughter, Miss
N. A. Pope, have been on a visit to
Master Tommie Pope, his son at this
place last week.
Our fishing Club has a seine in course
of construction one hundred and fifty
feet long. The finny tribe may as well
“walk up and settle.”
Our County Judge has within the
past week, paid into the county treasury
one hundred and forty eight dollars.
This is good for the tax payers.
Mr. W. D. Sullivan, father of the
editor of this paper, well-known in this
section, paid us a short visit last week.
We were glad to see him, and were
sorry his stay was so limited.
Mr. W. A. Woodis, who has been
on an extended tour through the Wes
tern day States, returned home cn last, Sun¬
evening, glad looking hale and hearty.
VV e are to welcome him home.
We heard a gentleman say that the
fishing club needed some telephones, so
that the manipulators of the “big seine”
could converse without disturbing the
finny tribe, and so the end-men can be
heard, for they will be scarcely visible
to the naked eye.
Mr. I. W. Thrasher is having the
old house, on the corner of Broad and
Chestnut streets, nearly opposite our
office, repaired. A nice cottage on
that corner would greatly improve this
part of Watkinsville.
The celebrated Great Eastern boat
was carried through town one day last
week. We leant that is to be used as
a fishing “smack” on the Oconee river,
and it was launched near Siraonton’s
bridge on the placid waters of that
stream.
Mr. W. B. Cotter, traveling sales¬
man for M. Franklin, of Atlanta, was
on a visit to his father and family, Rev.
W. J. Cotter, of Watkinsville, on
Saturday and Sunday last. Mr. J.
H. Cotter, a student at Emory col¬
lege was also at home on a visit last
Sunday.

We wish all of our readers to give
the following lines a close perusal,
and govern themselves accordingly:
1st. We would like our friends
to send us all the news from their
respective localities; writing only
on one side of the paper. The name
of the w’riter is indispensable—not
necessarily for publication, but as a
guarantee of. responsibility. Send
us the news, and we will correct and
insert it.
2d. That anonymous communi¬
cations are not read by us, but are
thrown into the waste basket. We
cannot attempt to preserve or return
any communications that we de¬
cline to publish.
3d. Personal communications
we do not wish to insert—even as
paid for advertisements.
4. That we arc printing the lar¬
gest paper in the State for the
money, and intend making it the
best.
5th. That we have already a
good circulation, and advertisers can
reach nearly all of the citizens of
Oconee county through its columns.
A large number of subscribers are
daily coming in from adjoining
counties.
Gth. We want all the people to
subscribe at once, all who have not
done so. We, of course, look to the
people of our county for our sup¬
port, and we know the people o(
Oconee will stand us.
