—An aggregation of show people
came through Arlington last Mon¬
day afternoon on their way to Bain-
bridge. We understand that they
were a crowd of fakirs and that they
had made application for license to
show in Albany and were refused,
and that they received the same
cold shoulder in Bainbridge. If re-
ports are true the treatment they
received in these two,cities, was.of
tho right, kind.
—A Greenville (Ala.) prosperous
farmer says rice can be successfully
grown on pine land and yield as
generous a crop ns on the irrigated
sections of Georgia and South Caro¬
lina. If this he true, and we have
no cause to doubt it, farmers on the
pine lands of Georgia might act upon
the suggestion and thus find another
avenue of profit.. There should he
every diversification of crops pos¬
sible. Tho wide awake farmer will
let no opportunity pass to make an
honest dollar.

B. F. Mann, Messrs. W. F. Weaver
and Hnrvie Flemming, of Sliellman ;
Miss Chaffin and Mr. Ward, of Ar¬
lington, and Mr. Wise, of Plains.—

—Every person who is in business
of any kind must have something to
communicate to the people from
whom he expects to derive an in-
come. A successful merchant says
that he regards the advertising col¬
umns of the newspaper as his ros¬
trum, from Which to tell to the peo¬
ple what, ho would say to them if he
could meet them in his store. Tho
public looks at, the newspaper adver¬
tisement, for such information as
the merchant has to give, and in
giving it he confers a benefit both
upon the public and himself.
—Mr. William Clower had a nar-
row escape from being seriously in¬
jured last Saturday afternoon, when
his horse ,became frightened and
dashed down the street in a brenk-
nock speed. Mr. Clower was in his
top buggy and the top being raised,
it was impossible for him to jump.
He took' in the situation in
a second and saw that his
only chance was to keep the animal
j n the road and stop it the best way
possible. The run-away was finally
Stopped near Mr. L. F. Murray’s
warehouse. No damage . to any¬
thing.

—Last, Saturday night in Frank
Burch’s harbor shop Narl Hall, in
an effort to test the strength of Dick
Perry’s head with an ordinary size
yard palin, came near breaking
Dick’s right arm, and otherwise
bruised him up. The difficulty grew
out, of “words” the darkies had had
before the difficulty. As soon as Narl
had done It is work with the palin he
left without Saying good bye to any
one, and now the officers are on the
'lookout for him. Dick Perry’s
bruises were very painful though not
serious.
—The Rowena Ripples came in
this week, but were left out for two
reasons, viz: First on account, of
short space, and second, the items
were written for last week’s paper,
and they would be from two to three
weeks old when they appeared this
week. Injustice to our correspon¬
dent will say that on account of
having no mail facilities from
Rowena, it is a hard task to get the
items to the paper in time. The let¬
ter is probably handed to a passer¬
by, who sticks it in his pocket and
that, is the last of it for two or three
weeks, although the party had been
instructed to deliver without fail.
We hope to have it more regular in
future.
—In the Columbia, Ala., Breeze of
last week we found the following
paragraph which will prove inter¬
esting to a good many of The Cou¬
rier readers, inasmuch as the groom
lived in Arlington about two years
prior to about eight mouths ago, and
was agent of the Central and Geor¬
gia Pine railroad. Following is the
article in question. “Mr. Albert
Stephens, formerly agent of the
Central railroad at Columbia bnt for
the past year connected with a rail-
road at Ban Antonio, Texas, in a
letter to a Columbia friend tells of
his recent marriage to Miss Hattie
Kotula of Ban Antonio. Mr. Stj-
phons is with tho Sunset. Route and
is stationed at Rosenberg.”
—An editor short of an item, thus
laments the situation: “News!
news ! news ! It’s enough to give a
man the blues. Nobody marries
and nobody dead ; nobody broke an
arm or head; nobody come in to
talk of the crap; no one got boossy
and started a scrap ; no one got run
in for taking a horn; nobody buried
and nobody born. O! fora racket,
a riot, a fuss ! Some one to come in
and kick up a muss ; some one to
stir up the peaee-ladened air ; some-
body’s comment to give ns a scare ;
somebody thumped within an inch
of his life; somebody run off with
another man's wife ; some oneoomo
in and pay up his dues 1 Anything,
anything, just so it’s news.”
—By reference to the census fig-
ures recently issued we iind that
Calhoun’s present, population is 9,274
which is 830 gain since 1890. The
Second Congressional district, has a
total population of 226,980, a gain of
26,980 since 1890. The state of
Georgia has a total of 2,216,329 a
gain of 376,000 in the past, ten years.
The total population of tho entire
United States for 1900 is 76,295,229
()f which 74,627,907 are contained in
the forty five states representing
approximately the population to bo
used for appointment purposes.
The total population of 1890, with
which the aggregate population of
the present census should he com-
pared was 63,069,756. Taking the
1890 population as a basis, there has
been a gain in population of 13,225,-
464 durimg tho past ten years, repre¬
senting an increase of nearly 21 per
cent. The Alaskan figures are
derived from partial data only, and
all returns for Alaska and for eef-
tain millitary organizations station-
ed abroad, principally in the Philip-
pines, have not yet been received,
Bulletins, will he issued for the va¬
rious minor civil divisions in the
different, states and territories as
fast as possible. The entire number,
it is expected, will he ready for the
public use before the first of Jan¬
uary.
