Mr. Charles Knowlton returned from Goodwater, Ala., Saturday. He will make that city his home in the near future. He proposes to sell all his surplus tools, farming implements, wagons, cattle and thousands of odds and ends of 30 years accumulation at public sale at his residence and mill on Saturday, March 7, 1908. He has, perhaps, several tons of iron, a quantity of brass and a little of everything that will come in handy to a farmer, miller, ginner, machinist and general tinker. Hon. J.S. Rogers is cutting down his old orchards and burning them. They have reached the age where the crops from them are not profitable and the old trees will produce and harbor injurious insects.

Battle, an aged and honored citizen of Schley, died in Ellaville Sunday night at the advanced age of 94. Mr. and Mrs. J.S.

It is district line roads and no hands or something lacking. We guess if the authorities had to drive over them every day and stop occasionally to mend up their harness and lift up a wheel out of a gully, they would find some way to have them put in better shape.
