HOME NEWS. JusticeS Ray and Mills were grind- ing grist on the Calhoun side of Ar¬ lington Wednesday. Justice Nance held the regular monthly term of his court on the Early county side of town last Fri¬ day. Next Saturday and Sunday are tegular preaching days at the Bap¬ tist church by the pastor, Rev. J. I. D. Miller. A glorious shower of rain fell in this section Tuesday afternoon and the farmers are wearing more cheer¬ ful countenances in consequence. Now that, war with Spun is a certainty, our farmers should stop long enough to figure on the ques- tion whether they haven’t overdone the cotton acreage. Messrs. Hofmayer, Jones & Co., of Albany, will make a display of goods at W. D. Cowdrey's store in Arlington tomorrow. See their spe- eial notice elsewhere. Miller superior court has been in session this week, Judge Sheffield presiding. Quito a number of Ar¬ lington people have been down dur¬ ing the wc£k, including the local attorneys. Tuesday, the 26th, is Memorial Day, which always brings tender memories of the heroes who wore the gray during the fierce civil war. While Arlington has been builded since the war, tlierere are a few old soldiers’ graves in our cemetery that will receive reverent attention on this sacred, anniversary. A petition has been signed by the Cuthbert bar indorsing the candi¬ dacy and urging the re-election of Judge H. C. Sheffield to the Supe¬ rior Court judgeship. This is one of the many deserving compliments that are being paid the faithful and painstaking service of this able jurist. The judge is a popular offi¬ cial and he bids fair to be re-elected without opposition.—Cuthbert Lib¬ eral. Miss Mary Ashley Hightower and Mr. M. W. Hall, brother of Super¬ intendent Jesse Hall of the South¬ western railroad, were married in Blakely Wednesday morning. The bridal party passed up the extension Wednesday morning in Superintend¬ ent Hall’s private car. The lovely bride has many friends throughout this section who wish for her and her glide man bon voyage through life. The Democrats of Calhoun county havo been called by Chairman Cart- ledge to assemble in mass meeting at Morgan on Monday next, for the purpose of reorganizing the execu¬ tive committee and transacting such other business as they may see fit. If the Democrats of Arlington and vicinity wish to impress upon the rest of the county their desire to have the next representative hail from this section of the county, it might be well for them to turn out in full force. The fourth and last shipment of cattle from Arlington to tho Indian territory was sent forward Tuesday afternoon. The shipment consisted of thirteen carloads, 1,027 head. Mr. J. F. Stevenson, the clever gentle¬ man who has been buying the cattle at this point, went with this train. In all about 3,500 or 3,600 head have been shipped from Arlington, and this represents only a small fraction of the number shipped from South¬ west Georgia the past three months. The coming into our section of these western parties in search for cattle should open the eyes of our people to the possibilities of cattle raising and lead them to improve their herds and thus insure a better price in future transactions. Hon. J. E. Mercer, just returned from the west, where he held the important and responsible position of land agent by appointment of Mr. Cleveland, was with his Daw r son relatives and friends Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. Mercer is sur¬ prised at the wonderful development of Southwest Georgia during his two years’ absence, and says that this is the coming section of the union. All of the cultivatable land in the west, lie says, is now occupied, and that the people are leaving that country in Large numbers for homes in the South. Mr. Mercer is one of the most prominent and public- spirited citizens of Southwest Geor¬ gia, and was given a hearty wel¬ come by hosts of friends upon liis return home.—Dawson News..
