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. JT®T* The Pointer Brand Hats are the lowest priced standard make. All of the latest styles. Sold bv J. S. COWART. 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.
