It will be the largest gathering of ex-confederates held since the war. The People's party will meet tomorrow to nominate a candidte for Ordinary. Artistic painting on the hotel has been admired. The colors harmonize beautifully. Frank Montford of Buena Vista was in town Monday. He and Maj. Baldwin ???? a good lot of cotton from the warehouse. Two handsome upright pianos will be in two of the pretiest homes in town this week. Messrs. J.H. Kleckly and T.A. Collins purchased them from ?????. Rev. W.W. Tidwell and Mr. W.D. Murray and others, who had oats in the "boot" cut them after the freeze last week to feed to the stock. A very pleasnt party went out to Dozier's mill Monday, wrapped in heavy cloaks and comfortable buggy robes to angle for the finny tribe. Despite the very cool weather, they had a most delightful time but only two little minnows were brought back, the following young ladies and gentlemen composed the party. Misses Minnie Lewis, Eva Berry, Lula Murphy, Mary Hornady. Messrs. H.J. Williams and Arthur Hill. PERSONAL Mr. Will Clark was in town Sunday. Mr. Ford Stewart went up to Buena Vista Sunday. Mr. E.B. Hornady returned home Saturday from Atlanta. Col. C.R. McCrory went up to Columbus Monday on legal business. Miss Leila Hornady and Mr. A.J. Hill spent Wednesday with friends in Americus. Mr. J.N. Scarborough and little daughter Leila spent Sunday with relatives in Ellaville. Rev. D.F. Riley, the popular pastor of the Buena Vista Methodist church spent Monday with Rev. R.F. Williamson. Mrs. G.C. Williams went down to Albany Friday to visit her daughter Mrs. J.H. Davis. She will remain until after Chatauqua. Prof. Len Baldwin returned Sunday evening from a two weeks visit to Newnan and Atlanta. His trip was greatly enjoyed, particularly the twelve days spent in the Gate City. Messrs. Len Baldwin and Ed Cheney went up to Buena Vista Tuesday to arrange for the play to be presented at Literary League Hall Friday evening. THE TELEPHONE A SURE SUCCESS In a few days more we can talk with the people of Americus over fifteen miles or more of wire. This new enterprise puts Ellaville and LaCrosse one more step forward and little ahead of her sister towns of equal size and larger. Of course Americus will reap a benefit and Ellaville and LaCrosse will have a long needed convenience. After the telephone line is completed, look out for Mr. Hornady's new water works for Ellaville. Then next comes electric lights. end # 14
