The Schley County News Thursday, October 20, 1892 No. 4 Mrs. Eugene Dixon is visiting her parents in Americus. Miss Emmie Baldwin is visiting relatives in Columbus. Texas Rust Proof Seed Oats for sale at Dr. J.N. Cheney & Co.'s. Dr. and Mrs. T.G. Cheney spent Sunday with their daughter in Oglethorpe. Col. J.R. Williams has moved his ofice into the building occupied by the News. Mr. W.E. Cheney left Monday to work several of the southern counties for a new patent soap. There is a rumor current to the effect that the third party people are going to set up a mercantile house of their own here. Be sure and secure two or three shares of stock in the Garden Valley Fruit company. It will be a profitable investment. Tomorrow, the 21st, has been set apart as a national holiday, it being the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. Editor R. Don McLeod, of the Macon County Citizen, was shaking hands with his many friends on our streets, Friday and Saturday. Mr. J.T. Collins has sold his handsome town residence to Mr. T.A. Collins, and will move back to his plantation sometime in the near future. >From recent depredations there is reason to believe that there is an organized band of thieves in this community. The sooner the last one of them is run down and landed behind prison bars, the better off the town will be. The trial of Mr. Zack Anglin last Friday for peddling without a license resulted in a disagreement among the jurors. They remained out all night and until ten o'clock Saturday morning, when they were brought before Judge Fish and, after stating that they could not agree, (were) discharged. The Ellaville post office was, last Monday, made a money order office. This will be a great convenience to our businessmen and others who desire to send small amounts through the mail and do not care to apply heavy fees for registering same. Among the many pleasant callers at our office Friday was Editor Cristopher, of the Marion County Patriot. He is jubliant over the success of the democracy in his county in the recent election and thinks that old Marion will be kept in the solid column. A shadow of gloom was cast over the entire community Tuesday by a telegram from Forsyth, announcing the death there of the aged mother of our fellow townsman, Mr. H.J. Williams. Immediately upon receipt of the sad intelligence, Mr. Williams left for Forsyth to attend the funeral, which took place yesterday. Prof. B.K. Scott, principal of the Ellaville High School, passed a successful and very creditable examination in law Friday evening and was admitted to practice in the superior court of this state. He expects to move back to his old home and settle down to the practice of his new profession sometime in the near future. Col. W.H. McCrory expects to move to Columbus the latter part of this or the first of next week. He went there Tuesday to rent a house and prepare it for moving in. Mr. McCrory is an attorney of more than ordinary ability and makes the change to secure a larger field for practice. We regret to lose him as a citizen, but wish him unbounded success in the new field. While the family was at church last Sunday night, Mr. P.F. Dixon's residence was broken into and several articles of wearing apparel stolen. It was one of the most remarkable burglaries ever known in this section from the fact that nothing except underwear was taken, notwithstanding the miscreant had free access to everything else in the house. This fact is looked upon as, positive evidence that the guilty party resides in town or near here. Mr. J.A. Goodson, of Dawson, was in town Saturday and made a very pleasant call at our office. While here he showed us a relic which he has in his possession that bears a very interesting history. Its a Mexican silver dollar, bearing the date of 1836, and was the first sum, that large, paid his father for his own labor when he was quite a small lad. His father kept it during his life and at his death, it was given to the present owner, who prizes it very highly. As per announcement in our last issue, another elocutionary contest for the Demorest Silver Medal came off at the Methodist church Tuesday night. Several young girls and boys participated in the exercises and the honors were closely contested. The medal was awarded to Master Carl Murphy, he being declared the successful contestant. He was closely persued, however, by Miss Kitty Tison, who only lacked one point of making it a tie. All the others showed marked ability and (with) very little improvement will take medals. We are told that a third party conference meeting was held at Hopewell church Monday. Of course the meeting was secret, as most of their's are, but it has leaked out that it's object was to come to some understanding about submitting to the republicans a proposition offering to vote for Harrison, if they, the Republicans, will support Wimberly for congress. A republican meeting will be held here next Saturday, when, our informant says, the proposition will be submitted to them for their acceptance or refusal. Frequent complaints have been made to the ordinary about one Susan Passmore, colored, who it is alleged is insane. Monday, the sheriff went after her but she and her husband got wind of his coming and she took to the woods. Tuesday, old man Simon, her husband, was arrested by the sheriff and brought to town, but after repenting and promising to bring Susan in and turn her over to the officers next morning, he was released. He did not show up yesterday as he promised, however, and now a warrant has been issued charging him with a very grave offense. Charlie Jones, colored, who was found guilty of burglary last week and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary for ten years, has made application for a new trial and is out on bond. A rather laughable thing occured during this trial. It seems that during the time Charlie was in jail, his relatives tried, through him, to conjure Cebe Swanson, the principal witness for the state, who was also in jail. The conjure bag which was hid in Charlie's newly washed pants was intercepted by Jailor Hagler as was a letter directing how to use it and was kept a profound secret until presented in evidence. The bag contained some rotten wood which was supposed to possess the conjure qualities. end # 4.

BlankWe are very fortunate to have this, from the front page of the Marion County Argus for February 3, 1882. There are a number of valuable things on this page but by far the most valuable to me, is this recollection by a member of the "Buena Vista Guards," aka, Co. I, 2nd Ga Inf., Army of Northern Virginia. It gives a personal knowledge type account of the whereabouts or demise of many of the men of this company. We are indebted to Judy Gresham for contributing this. Thank you so much Judy. This is wonderful stuff. If any of you have other details to add about any of these men, we'd love to add to our archives and share it with others. Marion County Argus dated February 3, 1882 No. 21 Buena Vista Guards Where are they now? The publication in the Argus last week of a list of the Buena Vista Guards as appeared in an old paper published at the camp near Brunswick at the breaking out of the war has been the source of considerable comment among the survivors of those who were there.

Pineville Dots No mail last Saturday Dr. Bright Miller has sold his pack of Maryland dogs to Mr. Albert Majors. By the new arrangement the mail arrives at Pineville eight hours later. (The Argus does not like the new arrangement and will make an effort to have a change. – ED.) The mumps have been prevailing in a part of our neighborhood. On account of the inclemency of the weather the organization of the singing school was postponed until next Sabbath evening. The blacksmith shop of Mrs. Bivins was destroyed by fire sometime ago and she has had an excellent one built in its place. Little Anna, daughter of Mr. Thomas Hogg, who was severely burned some four months ago has so far recovered as to be able to attend school. Misses B and B. honored us with a call Saturday. Hope you will come again ladies. Yesterday while ginning Mr. Rufus Story narrowly escaped very serious injury. While feeding the gin his coat was caught by the saws, and but for the timely assistance of Master Jimmie Wilson, who was present, and threw the band off the wheel, he might have lost his life. Fortunately he came out all right with the exception of slight wounds on the arm and back. (The presence of mind exhibited by Master Wilson was very commendable – ED.) TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO MISS FANNIE THAGGARD Who was born in Marion Co., Ga. Nov. 19th , 1863 and died Nov. 2d, 1881; came to this state January, 1869. She professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in September, 1877. Thus the grim tyrant Death has again invaded our happy circle and ruthlessly torn from our midst Fannie Thaggard our pupil once, our co-laborer afterward, our loved friend always. ‘ Tis said “Death loves a shining mark. He certainly took sure aim at such ?? one when his fatal shaft struck the heart of our friend. Tis customary to praise the dead, but not in conformity to any such custom do we speak well of her; but we who knew her and loved her for her own worth, for her rare virtues, sweet disposition, kind heart, noble mind and gentle, patient spirit. Yes Fannie was good. How little do we appreciate such a one while with us. We never dreamed she in the bloom of maidenhood; not yet nineteen years old – so gifted, with bright talents, so healthy and vigorous in body as well as mind was doomed to die so soon. How it cut deeper then a two edged sword, when the news came so unexpectedly, “they think Fannie is dying.” She had not appeared very sick, we visited her frequently but never heard a murmur. Though confined to her bed about three weeks, she was perfectly rational and quiet until Saturday night before her death the following Wednesday night. That night she had aroused the family by her delirium and was never quiet again, until Death stilled the heart that throbbed, the finger that twitched, the eye that moved, the tongue that muttered incessantly for four days. Oh it was so hard to see her die; to know she was gone forever. Tis so hard to think now, when the school bell rings, and we all gather at its summons she won’t come too with her ever smiling face and cheerful air. She always desired as most of us do to be loved. If her angel spirit could have come or looked down upon the sad procession that attended her funeral, upon the weeping teachers, classmates, pupils, friends and relatives who looked for the last time upon her pale, sweet face and still form with her pretty white hands folded over her pulse less heart; if she, from that unknown realm, could have read the inscription of “Undying Love” on one large bouquet, could have seen upon anther the “Offering in memory of Miss Fannie by her Homer Class” besides others – if she could only have known by these little manifestations how we all loved her, she could have asked no more. “God knows best” “He doeth all things well” and “works in mysterious ways to His wonders to perform.” Fannie was always a good student. All that her teachers had to do was to let her know what they required, requested or even wished of her. She would cry bitterly if she imagined she had offended by the slightest act in deportment or imperfection in recitation: as a teacher she was so patient, good natured and kind to every on she won the respect and love of all the pupils, she seemed so gifted to do good in the world, to direct the aspirations and desires of others to higher, nobler and better aims, why did she have to lie down and die. While we cannot solve such dispensations of Providence, we must humbly submit and “pass under the rod” believing her bright, spirit is summering high on the Eternal Hill with her father, mother and other loved ones gone before. To her surviving brothers to whom she was devoted, this is a heavy blow. To them we say, strive to live as she wished. Remember all she ever said, for she desired you, as well as herself to be good and smart. Strive to meet her in the “Sweet Bye and Bye” where heart strains are never sad and the smile of God is the sunshine of her blissful home. Let us all bear in mind, she’s “ watching and waiting for us.” And now Fannie, to you we breath our last farewell. Much tenfold more, could we say and not express our feelings. We loved you while living and blessed you while dying, and will ever cherish your memory dead, as one of the best girls we ever knew; one of the brightest jewels in our casket of friends; one of the sweetest flowers in our life’s parterre. May the whispering zephyrs at eventide softly sing a requiem over the hallowed spot where lies your sacred dust and holy angels guard it ever more. Alma ????(unreadable) Atlanta, Texas Dec 1, 1881

She got lost and rambled about trying to find the way back home. Night came on and she shouted herself hoarse hoping that by this means to attract aid. Fortunately she had matches with her, and late in the night dispairing of finding the way back home, she built a light-wood fire as a protection from cold, and "made herself a home." Exhausted and worried she made a bed of pine straw and leaves and took a nap. Early next morning she resumed her ramble, and about nine o'clock Monday morning she walked unto the home of Mr. James Welch; who lives four or five miles from her home. Mrs. Bradshaw is an old lady and such exposure with nothing to eat was dangerous. Additional Comments: Thorntonville would be almost dead center of Marion county if positioned on a north-south/east-west axis.

Issue Number two is missing. The Schley County News Thursday, October 13, 1892 No. 3 An informal entertainment was given last night by the Misses Hornady in honor of Miss Pearl Hickey. Two lots of land for sale--part of the W.T. Eason plantation. One 4-room house for sale or rent. Apply to W.H. McCrory. Mr. J.E. Clark, cashier of the Planter's Bank, went to Buena Vista Sunday and spent the day, rumor says, with his best girl. Mr. W.E. Cheney, Miss Nell Davis and Miss Annie Bagly spent Thursday at Andersonville, viewing the sights in and about the National Cemetery. Miss Annie L. Bagley returned to her home in Chattahoochee county, this morning, after a very pleasant visit of about two weeks in our town. Owing to much of our time being consumed this week in getting things in order after moving, our news columns are not as full as usual, for which we beg the indulgence of our readers. The Hart Land case which has been pending in the courts for quite a number of years, went over again without a trial at this term. This was done in order that certain points of law could be tried during vacation. Several negroes it is said were caught some time ago playing cards, by a third party man. The information it is further stated was used in an attempt to intimidate the parties into voting that ticket. Failing in that they were presented to the grand jury. The many friends in this county of Colonel E.M. Butt, of Buena Vista, were made glad this week by seeing him at his accustomed place within the Superior court. He is very feeble yet, however and was not able to attend to business as of yore. A party was given by Miss Dora Childers last Friday evening, near LaCrosse, was the first of its kind this season and was attended by a large number of young people. Several couples went from here and report that they were highly entertained. The News has moved into new quarters adjoining the livery stables. We are now more conveniently located and will be found willing at any time, day or night to credit you with that little mite (?) that makes a great, ugly looking place on our books. Mr. W.W. Lumpkin requests us to say that he has returned home (to the democratic fold) to stay. Like many others who have been lured away from the true party of the people by the fair promises of the new party, he has learned that it is not all that was promised, and has the courage of his convictions. There will be another contest for a Demorest medal at the Methodist church Oct. 18th. These contests aside from being instructive to the young people who take part in them are highly entertaining. During the evening a voluntary collection will be taken up, the proceeds of which will be applied to furthering the temeperance cause. We are having a little breathing spell now from active campaign work. Don't imagine, however, that we are oblivious to the demands of the Third District upon us. Not withstanding all the chickeenery being worked through the undercurrent in Fred Wimberly's behalf, Schley County will roll up a handsome majority for Charles F. Crisp, whose noble work and high achievements in congress have not only endeared him in the hearts of all Georgians, but the people of the whole nation as well. The News has carried over through the dull summer months many small accounts on subscription and advertising for the convenience of our patrons. The reason has arrived when we must meet the obligations we have made; to enable us to do this, and we urge those who are in arrears to this office to come forward and settle at once. Those who owe for a subscription will be notified this week with the X mark opposite the name. Don't imagine that because the amount you owe is so small the editor can afford to do without it. There are hundreds of them--in fact all our business is done that way--hence small amounts are the identical ones we are calling for. Some few have responded since this notice appeared before. Who will be the next to come forward? In connection with the many charges that have been made in the campaign about democratic lies, we rise to state there is some men on the other side who are liars by nature and lie without reason and without conscience. For instance a third party paper sent out from Montezuma after the election last week claimed Georgia and Florida for that party. Then again some cowardly villain who did not have the courage to sign his own name, sent a letter from Murrays Cross Roads to the the Southern Alliance Farmer a few weeks ago in which he stated that there was no paper published in this county. Annanias was a saint compared to this vile creature, whose true name can be read between the lines of this letter. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET For president Grover Cleveland, of New York For Vice President Adali E. Stevenson, of Illinois For Congressman from the Third Congressional District Charles F. Crisp, of Sumter. RESOLUTION OF RESPECT The peaceful closing of a beautiful life which has been spent in the service of God, for the uplifting of humanity, carries with it a sermon more eloquent than words. In the death of Mrs. Louisa Winding which occured at the residence of her (?) (son-in-law), Hon. C(harles) B. Hudson, Sept. 11, 1892, there was nothing to fill the heart with despairing grief, but a beautiful picture lingers in the memory of those who loved her of a happy old age and sweet resignation to the will of the alwise Father and this softens the sorrow of parting. >From childhood through a long eventful life she walked where the tender shepherd led, sometimes 'mid scenes of gloom, often by the "still waters" and she left no alarm when she entered the "valley and shadow of death." Whereas The Mite Society of the Baptist church of Ellaville mourns the loss of a devoted and earnest member, therefore be it. Resolved that we its members desire to testify to the consecrated life of our departed friend, who was true to every trust. Resolved that we will strive to follow in her foot steps as she followed Christ, so that in the end we may receive the welcome plaudit, "well done." Resolved that we extend to her bereaved family our sincere sympathy, praying that at last they may be reunited in that happy land where there is no more parting. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased and that this memorial be spread upon the minutes and a copy be furnished the Schley County News for publication. Mrs. J.M. Thornton, Pres.; Mrs. C.H. Smith, V-Pres.; Mrs. H.S. Lindsay, Sec.; Mrs. W.D. Sears, Treas. MONEY I will loan money on improved property at 2 per cent per annum. Apply to J.R. Williams. PROFESSIONAL CARDS W.H. McCRORY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, ELLAVILLE, GEORGIA Office in Brick building Broad Street. C.R. McCRORY, ATTORNEY and COUNSELOR at LAW, and General Real Estate Agent. COLLECTIONS A SPECIALTY. Office on Main Street in Brick building North of Court House, Ellaville, Georgia. end # 3.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: RUTHERFORD,STRINGFELLOW Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Rd.2ADE/276.1.1.2 Message Board Post: My great-grandparents were John and Martha Stringfellow. I know that they were married in 1860. I have seen the marriage recorded at the court house in Buena Vista, Marion County, Georgia. I can find no record of them raising a child of Martha's or anyone else. If Will Rutherford was born in 1860 or before, it would make since. The Martha living with Eli in 1860 was not John's wife but his sister. In your records, do you have anything on Mandy or Amanda Rutherford? I think she was Martha's sister. She is in a family picture with John & Martha and several of their children. I think the picture was made between 1895/1898. Will Rutherford was not in this picture. I have looked on several census records to see if Will was residing with them. I have'nt found him but some of the records are missing. I would be glad to have any information you have on the Rutherfords. My e-mail is [email protected]

HI, Looking for any information on Noah W. Barber. I found him in the 1860 census in Marion County, Georgia. I am interested in his son James L.. He was 3 at the time. Would like to know his brothers and sisters if there are any. This maybe my James that married in Arkansas, and had 2 children. Thank you Tanya

With this issue of the News, we begin a new roll of film and as promised some time ago we are stepping back in time a little. This roll begins with issues of the paper begining in Oct. of 1892. The paper came out on Thursdays in this era and the editor and owner was John C. Trice. It's cost was $1.00 per year. The paper had a much different look then. It was larger, containing a good bit more national and state news. I will include some of this from time to time if it is an event of historical interest. The first couple of pages are very difficult to read, so bear with me. After that it seems to be pretty good copy. The Schley County News Thursday, October 6, 1892 LOCALS Weighing, 25 cents; splendid market at Hill's Warehouse. The Ordinary's regular monthly court was in session on Monday. Very little business came before it. Having enlarged my warehouse, I now have unexcelled facilities for storing cotton.--Arthur Hill Two lots of land for sale--part of W.T. Eason plantation. One 4 room house for sale or rent. Apply to W.H. McCrory. Mr. E.L. Cordel is the happy father of a ten pound boy. The young man's name is Charles Frederick, for our distinguished congressman. (Charles Frederick Crisp) An accident occurred Monday on the road between here and Columbus. The mixed train was an extraordinarily long and heavily loaded one and the coupling pulled loose. No damage to passengers or freight. Two hundred and four bales of cotton were brought to town and sold in this market last Saturday. The people are beginning to learn that this is one of the very best cotton markets in southwest Georgia. Prices are almost invariably better here than at Americus or Buena Vista. The meeting at the colored Methodist church last Monday night for the purpose of testing the strength of the two contending parties and to raise the church debt, was a thorn in the flesh to the few followers of third partyism who were present. Each vote cost ten cents and the democracy contributed over $51.00 to the church fund, while the third party only showed up with 85 cents. (makes one wonder who cast half a vote). Nothing was said or done that anyone could reasonably take offense at. Every thing was reasonably quiet and orderly considering the large crowd which was present. Dr. Harper, the tall sycamore of the Sumter county third party, who has had the senatorial bee buzzing around and round the crown of his hat for some time, struck our town Monday evening but was too sick we understand to attend political meetings that night. Haven't got well yet have you, Sen. (excuse me) Doctor? Buena Vista, Ga., Apr. 15, 1892. Dr. Henry Scarborough, Ellaville, Ga. Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to hear testimony to the virtue of your Cough Drops. I have found that in case of acute bronchial troubles, it gave me quick and permanent relief. I think it unsurpassed as a cough medicine for both acute and chronic troubles of the throat. Very truly, Edgar M. Butt Miss Pearl Hickey, a charming young mistress of music from Lumpkin, was here a few days this week during which time she got up a music class. She has gone home to make preparations and will return Monday to open her school. She comes here highly reccommended in her profession, is pleasant in demeanor and will soon find a warm place in the hearts of her students. No man will hardly be found who will yet contend that it was not overproduction that run the price of cotton down. This season opened with something like four million surplus from last crop. The price was low and the crop short, but as the surplus is worked off, prices are advancing. If there had been no surplus, cotton would be bringing ten cents now. There is no love lost between the editor of this paper and the people who encouraged a boycott against us and now slip around and borrow a copy to read each week. Their calibre is so small that we would hardly know they were in existance if those who had not done so would come up and settle their small accounts which appear on our subscription book. The Cable damage suit against the Central Railroad will come up for another trial in the Schley Superior Court next week. Mr. Cable is here now looking after his interests. It will be remembered by most of our readers that the case was tried here last spring and a verdict for one thousand rendered in favor of Mr. Cable, but the railroad asked for and have been granted a new trial. If some of our delinquent subscribers will bring us wood, chickens, eggs, potatoes, pork, in fact any thing raised on the farm, which we can utilize, we will take pleasure in making the proper credits to their accounts.

The Schley County News Friday, Oct. 29, 1909 No. 42 A CERTAIN MERCHANT SAID TO US There are a few people in this burg (and pretty nice people too) who will enter a grocery store, run their fingers into a barrel and lop up a couple of ounces of sugar, nibble at the back of a herring, eat a handful nuts, cut off a slice of cheese, just to taste, then as a matter of course, must take a few crackers; and perhaps before they have made up their mind to buy a bar of soap, they have eaten up the profits on $2 worth of groceries, and to wind it all up they are charged, and the poor merchant realizes a profit of one cent. They leave the store munching a couple of apples. This is no dream but a reality, except sometimes they don't buy any soap. But such is life. WANT ELLAVILLE TO DO SOMETHING? At a recent meeting of the business men of Butler, the sum of $400 was readily raised for the purpose of claying a certain sandbed that led to their market. Why is it the business men of Ellaville don't get out of their own light and wake up to their business duty and priviledge, and get in line with the county authorities, so that the good-roads movement in Schley might move onward and upward to an ultimate success, thereby giving our county a public highway second to none in the state. Good roads in Georgia is a certainty. The handwriting has been placed on the wall, and for the people of so good a county as Schley to close up in their shells and spurn the warning, is nothing short of business suicide and retrogression. Every binson' day the daily press brings to us convincing evidence that we must wake up and look up. Some of us are so narrow minded and ignorant that we would oppose a decent road for fear some fellow would take a ride over it in an automobile, when if we would only use a thimble full of reason, we couldn't help but realize that if a road was good for iron and steam, it would be all the better and more hum! an for flesh and bone--the dumb brute. Aside from this, we have only to look to the revolution in land prices that has been brought about in Sumter county. Just recently members of familes From North Carolina have purchased homes in the county paying thirty five and forty dollars per acre for lands 12 miles from Americus, that sold for $10 per acre before the good roads were built adjacent to them. The lands in Schley County would be more than double in value, and our little town would blossom like a rose, if we only had the right kind of roads. We can have them, and it is high time business men of Ellaville were manifesting some interest (in) the enterprise. They certainly can do as well as the business men of Butler. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Rev. W.K. Dennis, of Shellman, was in Ellaville this week. Mr. H.S. Lindsay went up to Macon this week. Robinson's big circus will be at Americus on Nov. the 8th.

We are informed that the afternoon train from Americus will be held on Nov. the 8th until after the Robinson show performance is over, thereby giving all our people an opportunity to go to the show on the train. John Robinson's big circus will be at Americus on November the 8th. This is considered one of the best and cleanest shows in the United States. Go and take the children. Judge E.Wall, of Fitzgerald, is spending the week here with his mother, Mrs. M.I. Wall, and otherwise meeting with many of his old Schley county friends. Mr.Wall has just recently been appointed to the judgeship of the city court of Fitzgerald, a position which any young attorney should feel proud of, and one which he gained through his recognized ability and popularity over a strong competitor. Mr.J.H. Bryant has resigned position as manager of the Union warehouse, on account of business duties on his farm. Mr. Bryant, during the present season, has made the Union an excellent manager and his service has proven more than satisfactory to both his employers and the patrons of the warehouse. Mr. Claude Dixon is at present in charge of the warehouse and will, it is understood, finish up the season for the Union. THE SCHOOL TEACHER The requirements of the country teacher are many. She must be a primary, intermediate, grammer grade, high school teacher combined ; she must be able to adjust a fallen stove pipe, build fires, put in window panes, sweep, dust, split kindling, keep out the neighboring quarrels, know how and where to whip a bad boy, understand the school laws, run the Sunday school, plant trees on Arbor day, keep all kinds of records, be of spotless moral character, and pass an examination that would trump the president of the Central of Georgia Rail Road. For all of these minor accomplishments she usually receives the enormous salary of THIRTY DOLLARS oer month. My! ain't it outrageous? end # 42.

Drane and children returned home this week from a visit to relatives at Lutherville(?). CONVICT ESCAPES, BUT RECAPTURED James Park, one of the convicts on the road gang escaped camp Sunday night about seven o'clock, and for all night and the greater part of the next day had superintendant Stevens and the guards guessing as to whether he would be recaptured. Dogs were placed on his trail late in the night and chased him off for several miles in the direction of Buena Vista, the negro's home, but for some reason the trail was lost at or near Putnam. It was supposd that the negro caught the early morning train, at Putnam for Buena Vista, and a phone message to the sheriff of Marion County soon developed the fact that the negro was in Buena Vista, and was subsequently captured. Park will probably pay well for his escape at the coming term of the City Court, as a case for escaping prison will be made against him, which will mean one more year to his original sentence. SCHOOL TO OPEN MONDAY Prof. W.E. Drane wishes to announce that school will again open up Monday October, 25th. The little fever scare that caused the temporary close of the school has passed over, so let every child be put back in school Monday, and we will make this one of the brightest terms in the history of the school. DEATH OF MISS JULIA SCARBOROUGH After an illness of several weeks, Miss Julia Scarborough died at her home here on last Wednesday night.

BURT Our town and surrounding community was thrown into a state of sorrowful excitement on last Saturday morning when it became generally known that Mr. W.Z. Burt, of Buena Vista, had on the evening before met with death in a most mysterious and shocking manner. Mr. Burt was in this county, spending the week with his son, Mr. Cleve Burt, and Friday afternoon was, a mile or so in the plantation looking after the gathering of corn. Just a short while before night he left the rest of the party stating that he was going down to a certain point on a near by creek to see about a land line. The negroes returned home, but as the usual supper hour arrived, Mr. Burt was still missing, and his son, after enquiring around among the neighborhood and finding no trace of him, secured a party and went in search of his father, acting largely on information of the negroes as to where he was last seen in the afternoon. At the usual crossing place at the creek, the searching party found Mr. Burt's body partially covered in water but cold in death. The remains were taken to his son's home, and on Saturday morning the Coroner of the county held an inquest, the verdict being, "we the jury find that the deceased came to his death by some unknown cause ! to the jury." Escorted by a large circle of friends and relatives, his body was taken to his home at Buena Vista Saturday afternoon for burial. We here give, in part, an account (of) the sad occurance, taken from the Buena Vista paper: "Mr. Burt was fifty four years of age and had lived in this county all of his life. He was a devoted husband, and affectionate and considerate father, spending every spare moment with his family. Kindly in his disposition, generous in his feelings, sincere in his friendship, just in his dealings with his friends and his fellow man. He had few, if any enemies. His life was plain, intelligent, honesty and industry. He despised sham pretense, littleness and meanness and loved and lived justice. Ever genial and kindly hearted, he had a good and kindly word for all. The remains were interred in the cemetery Sunday morning, after funeral services at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. Stewart." end # 41.

The third prize is to be a gold medal to be given by Miss Susie Beckham to Music pupils making greatest improvement during the term.

THE MAN WHO STOPS HIS PAPER The man who stops his paper because he is "a little short" and keeps right on smoking "fifteen cent or two-for-a-quarter" cigars lays himself open to the suspicion of being "off." The man who don't want to take the paper because he is taking too many now, hadn't ought to feel aggreved when said paper forgets to make any special mention of his fine horses which sold for a big price, of fails to reprint the complimentary notice a paper in some other city makes of him, not knowing how poor a friend he is to the printer. The man who sticks a card in his show window offering his stock and the business for sale and makes no mention of his offers in the paper, ought to take it, no matter how low it is. He is too far behind his time to make business go in these years. These facts are like the United States Treasurer's reports, "respectfully submitted." Mrs. E.L. Bridges made a visit to Columbus this week. Mr. and Mrs. Ford Stewart, of Macon, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Stewart. Mrs. W.H. Wright came up from Americus Tuesday, spending the day with her aunt, Miss Julia Scarborough, who has been quite sick for the past two weeks. Mr. E.L. Bridges on last Wednesday, purchased from Dr. C.G. Jones his home on Broad Street. The price paid for same was $3000. Mr. Bridges will get possession by December 1st, and will do some needed improvements on the home which will make it one of the most desirable in town. ALL DAY SINGING A SUCCESS The all day singing held at the Baptist church here on last Sunday was enthusiastically attended and otherwise proved an occasion of much joy and pleasure. The singing was led by Mr. Taylor Chapman, of Tazewell, who is a schollar of the old school. The old Sacred Harp was used, and the Fo-So-La that was so familiar in every household fifty years ago was again reserected, many of the singers of that day taking part in this late day celebration. The music was good, full of melody and free from what we might call "modern stiff." Withal, the occasion had no less effect than to give the young people of today a faint idea of the many glorious days spent by our forefathers years ago. There will be another singing at Hopewell church on the fourth Sunday in this month. Dinner will be served on the grounds, and everybody is invited to be on hand with their basket and song book. end # 39.
