Corn bread, salt and green apples
are said to be the fashionable even
ing delicacies for young ladies at

convenient onions or green plums

The fence question is one of
great importance, as we have in

newed every fifteen years.

man, returned to their home in

the regret of several of our young
gentlemen.
The concert last Friday night
was a brilliant success. Every¬
thing passed off in the best of style.
Music was furnished by the string
band. The net proceeds, which go
to the repairing of the Presbyte¬
rian church, amount to about $20.
The success of the concert is due
almost solely to the untiring efforts
of Miss Lottie Weatherwax.
Alex Carr, col, charged with one
of the most heinous crimes known
in criminal annals is loged in jail
here. His committal trial will
take place this morning. His bru¬
tal assault and hellish designs were
accomplished upon a woman of his
own race. We withhold the par¬
ticulars because of their dirty char¬
acter.
Next Sunday is the day set apart
by the Southern Methodist confer¬
ence as the children’s day. It will
be observed at the Methodist church
of this place by a sermon to chil¬
dren in the morning, and special
services in the afternoon. Several
of the little folks will recite in the
afternoon and a song service will
be specially arranged for them.
Col- W. S. Coleman, the hand¬
some and brilliant young editor of
the Ellijav Courier, spent several
days last week in the city with his
brother, Mr. J. I. Coleman. Col.
Coleman is one of the rising young
journalists of this State, an erudite
and companionable young gentle¬
man, and it will afford us much
pleasure to have him visit our city
again sometime.
The picnic of the two schools of
town, at the Paper Mill last Friday
was an occasion of immense enjoy¬
ment to all present. Music was
made by the string band. The
many picnic dinners spread on the
grounds were exquisitely and boun¬
tifully prepared. Upon the whole
the picnic was an occasion of rare
enjoyment and pleasure to all, and
one not soon to be forgotten.
Among events of interest which
are to come off duriug the present
week may be mentioned the State
prize drill in Macon, the district
Sunday School Convention of the
Methodist Church to convene at
Thomson, the Georgia Railroad
Convention to meet in Augusta and
the Georgia Press Association to
meet at Valdosta; all of which
bodies convene to-day, and
the most of them will continue in
session several days.
Ike Taylor has heen busily
honing razors all the week. He
says :
When you wish an easy shave,
As good as a barber ever gave,
Just call on me at my saloon,
At morn, at eve, or busy noon.
I’ll curl and dress the hair with
grace, of face,
I’ll suit the contour the
My room is neat, and towels clean,
Scissors sharp and razors keen,
And everything we think you’ll find,
To suit the taste and please the
mind,
And all that art and skill can do,
If you’ll call I’ll do tor you. adv-
All kinds of agricultural imple¬
ments cheap at H. P. &. D. M Al¬
mand & Co’s.
WHAT’S THE MATTER?
On the wing we happened to
catch an intimation that the work
of the grand jury developed some
verv dirty cases last week. Some
indeed, so atrocious in their char¬
acter that thier impress forms a
darker spot on the fair name of
Rockdale than has ever tarnished
her records. The cause of such out¬
rages on the society, humanity and
Christianity of the county is hard
to account for. But we are glad to
know that the grand jurors of this
county are men who are determin¬
ed to check any attempt to over¬
ride law and order.
The prohibition law has been open¬
ly and boldly violated almost right
in the door of the temple ot justice.
In our heart there is, and always
will be, warm deep sympathy and
pity for the drinker, but for the
vender, whether licensed or not we
can and will not offer quarters.
There is no excuse for men to en¬
ter this depraving business. For
the honest, sober man there is al¬
ways employment. The world is
teeming with honorable enterprises
and the busy hum of industry is
heard throughout the entire length
and breadth of the land. With
these things before us then, is there
any excuse for men to enter a bus¬
iness which tends only to degrade
society, destroy peace and distitute
families? We are glad to know
and see such a vigorous and de¬
termined effort on the part officers
and citizens to bring violators of
the laws before the courts and to
have justice meeted out to them
according to their offences.
A-L-L A-B-Q-A-R Dt
For the Picnic at Almon,
Next Friday the grandest and
biggest picnic of the season will be
had at Almon. The Methodist
and Second Baptist Sunday schools
of this place and Prof. Lester’s
school at Shipley’s academy, and
many out-siders will picnic then at
that place. The string band will
be there in full force, and weighty
baskets of delicacies and substan¬
tial will be on hand by a very
large majority. We understand
that a game of ball is being arranged
for the afternoon. If indications
are worth a cent we are inclined to
believe that a fine time will be had.
Railroad fare has been reduced for
the day to 30 and 15 cents.
