Can anyone shed any light on the references to the Association meeting in Buena Vista mentioned several times below? The Schley County News Thursday, September 28, 1893 No. 38 It has decided that no one shall be admitted into Savannah without a health certificate. (Transcriber's notes: I believe this to be a result of the yellow fever outbreak at Brunswick). THIS IS NO FISH STORY While fishing in Buck Creek one day this week Mr. Lon Tondee noticed something bothering a small string of fish which he had placed in the creek near where he was sitting, and on pulling up the string found hanging to it a large fish that weighed 2 pounds, making a mess for his family. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hotel Woodruff Chicago, Sept-21 Editor News, The most talented writers of the country have declared that it is impossible to give a description of the wonderful sights at the great Columbia Exposition, and I feel that it would not only be presumptious but perfectly useless for me to attempt to comply with your request to write of what I have seen. The great bustling city of Chicago is bewildering in its magnificence, and the beauties of the White City surpasses anything that the most vivid imagination has ever pictured. To have any idea of the Fair one must see for himself the dazzling splendor of these exhibits gathered from all parts of the world and placed within easy reach of the American people. Of course it would be folly to try to see everything. For instance in the Liberal Art building, if you should give one minute to each picture, it would take you ten days, devoting ten hours a day, to see the works of the great masters. To devote one minute to each thing in the show, would require thirty two years. I ! wish everybody could see it. It is well worth the time and money spent. I verily believe that Chicago is destined to be the greatest city in our wonderful country. I hope quite a number from Ellaville will avail themselves of the privilege of visiting the Fair during October, they certainly will not regret it. We were fortunate enough to get seats one night to witness the great play America, which surpasses any spectacular performances ever attempted. Will leave for Atlanta in a few days stopping over in Cincinnatti and Indianapolis for a day.--E.B.H. (Transcriber's note: I believe this would be E.B. Hornady.) The newspaper reporters of Atlanta gave an entertainment Friday night for the benefit of the Brunswick sufferers and netted the handsome sum of $1200.

The sudden death of Miss Ida McMath which occured last Friday, in Leesburg, brought sorrow to many hearts in this county, where she was well known. Some of the ladies of Ellaville this week sent a box of clothing to the Red Cross Association at Beaufort, S.C. for the benefit of those left destitute by the terrible storm. Bro. Christopher of the (Buena Vista) Patriot got his press broken last week and had to get out a diminutive form on a job press, but no matter what happens he always manages to get one of the best weeklies in the state. The man that critices a paper the most is generally the one who either don't take the paper or owes for several years subscription. Come and pay up or shut up. It's bad enouh to owe a paper and won't pay it, but its still worse to make untrue remarks about it. We are glad to say this cap is made to fit but very few, but it was to order for those few. Over two hundred tickets were sold here Sunday to the colored people, who had saved all their hard earnings of the week before to take in the Association at Buena Vista. The train was already crowded when it reac(h)ed Ellaville but they piled in, as long as there was standing room and even filled the platform steps as long as they could hang on. Great was the disappointment and indignation of those who were forced to stay at home. PERSONALS Mr. J.R. Williams went up to Macon Tuesday. Mr. Phil E. Taylor visied Oglethorpe this week.
