—If you can’t talk up your town,
get out..
—Ordinary A. I. Monroe will hold
his regular monthly court next
Monday.
—Arlington is the prettiest place
in the south for a large city, and if
you don’t, mind, we will show you
something yet.
—A visit, through the
will reveal the fact that, there is a
good deal of unpicked cotton in the
fields yet, although the crop has
about done its “do.”
—Arlington is a young Atlanta
when it. comes to hustle. Our peo-
pie believe in hustling, as is evi¬
denced by the way they move on
our streets every day.
See Cowart & Lofton’t new double
column advertisement on the local
page of The Courier this week.
They have something interesting to
to say to their customers.
—Cane “bilin’s” are the order of
the day now. Several merry
crowds have gone out to cane mills
near Arlington since our last, publi¬
cation, and all report a jolly good
time.
—The Courier will gladly wel¬
come the day when hogs, cows,
mules and horses are taken off our
streets, and we know that a majori¬
ty of the people here will join us in
rejoicing.
Mr. .T. S. Cowart lias a new and
attractive advertisement in their
regular space this week. Read and
benefit by so doing. They also have
a change in their locals. Read
them. It is to your interest.
Telephonically speaking, Arling¬
ton and Edison will soon be on
speaking terms. Now connect us
with Calhoun’s beautiful little capi¬
tal city, Morgan, and our other
equally as pretty towns,' Leary and
Dickey, find we can say we are get¬
ting up to date.
—Last Thursday night while
“poleing” a car at the depot Sylves¬
ter Bell, a negro in the employ of the
Central railroad was very painfully
hurt by the pole breaking and
striking him a very hard lick. His
arm was broken besides receiving
other less painful wounds.
—Next Tuesday will be a big day
in Morgan. The Board of County
Commissioners will meet there that
day, several administrators have
some valuable property that will be
sold that day, Sheriff' Davis will also
have a nice piece of property to sell
at sheriff sale, and then, too, it is
national election day.
While the price of cotton is away
off, don’t get the impression that
the price is low in Arlington and
ARLINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1900.
Cuyone's 7Porm Syrup will do
the work eacli and every time.
This formula we have used for 20
years.
y Cure dt —For Headache, Neu¬
ralgia, etc. The formula is one
used in Berlin by specialists. Try
a package.
high elsewhere, for such is not the
case. That is not Arlington’s way
of doing business, We are still
paying the highest price for the
fleecy staple. You will make no
mistake by bringing all of your cot¬
ton to Arlington and doing all of
your trading with our merchants.
—Arlington’s town hogs have a
fat thing in those trash boxes placed
on the streets. We know of one
merchant who nailed his box to a
telephone pole, and tilled it with
cane chews, Irakli etc., and the first
hog that came along sailed right
into the box and broke it. off of the
pole and scattered the contents all
ovei • the sidewalk, and got said
place for pedestrians and hogs real
trashy.
—We learn from reliable source
that Arlington will soon he “hollow
ing” with Edisoniles. Our inform -
ant said the polls and wire were rap-
idly being put up, and within the
short space of another week we
will be connected. This is good
news and will prove a source of
great convenience to the people in
that section of Calhoun as well as
the people in Arlington. Now if
we only had connection with Leary
and Morgan we would be strictly in
it, to use a vernacular idiom. Let’s
have the line extended to these two
latter places by all means.
Sing Dixon, a “gemmen” with a
ginger cake complexion, came to Ar¬
lington last Monday from Edison,
and he failed to return, on account
of Sheriff Davis being in Arlington
on the same day. Sing was wanted
on an old charge against him for
cursing in the hearing of some ladies
about two years ago. Sheriff Davis
has been on the lookout for him for
some time, but not until last Mon¬
day was the sheriff able to lay his
eagle eyes on his victim. Sing will
doubtless find that a song will not
pay his fare when Judge Spence
winds him np, and he will be made
to dance to the music of a shovel
and pick.
—In another column in The
Courier will be found a lost, strayed
or stolen notice from Mr. Pierce
Lewis, stating that lie has lost
twenty-two unmarked hogs recent¬
ly. Mr. Lewis also gives notice that,
he will take up all hogs that he
thinks belong to him, and if he
should get some other hogs, he
asks that their owner come prepared
to identify and prove-the identifica¬
tion, and upon complying with this
the hogs will be turned over to the
rightful owners, otherwise he is
going to hold them until it is shown
that he has not his own hogs. Mr.
Lewis says that he only wants hi*
own hogs, and he asks the public to
aid him in his search for them.
Read his notice elsewhere.
—While in Leary last Saturday
Mr. W. H. C. Cunningham told us
of an attempt made to burn his com¬
missary at bis turpentine farm
about thro© miles from Leary last
Friday night. Mr. Fipp, Mr. Cun¬
ningham's woodsman, was sleeping
in the roar of the commissary when
ho was aroused at. a latd hour of
night, by the popping of fire. Mr.
Fipp got iip hurriedly and went out
of the burning building with his
gun in one hand and a bucket of
water in the other, and by hard
work succeeded in extinguishing the
flarues. It. is believed that the
building was set on fire for the only
purpose of killing Mr. Fipp when
he came out, hut the coward who
attempted this dastardly deed didn't
have grit enough to shoot, after Mr.
Fipp came out. It is fortunate (hat
Mr. Cunningham’s loss was no
greater than it was.

The newspapers are saying some
very nice tilings about Hon. James
M. Griggs, our immediate represen¬
tative in congress, who has just re¬
turned from Delaware, where he
went in response to a. call from the
national democratic committee, sup¬
plemented by one from the ('hair-
man of the democratic committee of
Delaware to make campaign.speech¬
es. This is the second call Mr.
Griggs has had 1.o do campaign work
in doubtful states. He first went to
Maryland in which states he made
several speeches. Those who are in
position to know say that Mr. Griggs
is one of the strongest, campaign
speakers that the democrats have
had iu this campaign. Heisbrainey,
well informed and good natural. Ho
has a way of getting close to the
people and is a vote winner. His
campaigning in other states has tak¬
en him out. of his own district for
several weeks, but it. is all right so
far as the people of the district are
concerned. He has enough friends,
loyal and true, to take care of him
in every county-in the district, and
will have a walk over in November
just as he laid in the democratic
many in June.—Albany Herald.
