John Manning and Max
Bruckner carry the moat woe-
begone countenances of any
gentlemen we have aeen tor
some time. Mrs. Manning1 has
been in Leon county for some
time visiting relatives, while
Mrs. Bruckner left on a similar
trip to Paris, this State, Sunday
morning. We think Max looks
most down-hearted, but we eas-
ily account for it; he has not
been married so long as' John.
Evidently they both will appre-
ciate home oomforts when the
absent ones return.
Among the late charters
granted under State law, is one
to the "M. T. Jones Lamber
Company," of Ennia. Mr. Jones
is one of the pioneers in the bus-

one of the heaviest lamber deal-

which over 60 men are constant-
ly employed. The compauy
own several large yards, the one
at this place being of the num
ber. It is in charge of Mr. T.
M Richardson, who owns a
good share of the company's
stock. He is well knowu as a
courteous gentleman of rate
business ability and honorable
in his dealings, not in Albany
alone, but for many miles north
and northwest of us, where he
haa shipped many thousands of
feet of lumber and other build

an order, having county coo

defective. Gutters should be

A Fisfc (Fry) Sterj.
Wednesday last a party of
seventy-five to one hundred peo-
ple, old and young, male and
female, betook themselves to
Salt Prong of Hubbard Creek,
near the residence of Sheriff
Sinjpson, two and a half miles
southeast from Albany; their
object being a picnic aad fish-
fry. * Dressed in appropriate
garb, the he-be part of the con-
gregation, with Deacon Harvey
Bigga aft ring master, and Cor
poral Jim Witty, clown, armed
witb s seine eight feet deep,
and ten times that in length,
dashed boldly into the "waters
and proceeded to business.
They warfted fish, in fact they
were fish hungry, the sweet
mouth of every lady present
was in exact shape to eat fish,
and the brats were crying, fish!
fish! The seine was paid out,
dragging commenced, the dea-
con's stentorian- voice wae heard
giving orders, the corporal
clown rolled himself into a ball,
bear fashion, and made the au-
dience laugh, while the ever
present small boy in the pit fir-
ed peanut shells into the dress-
circle and delivered himself of
large quantities of cat-calls.
The seine was drawn in and
fonnd to be heavily laden with
gars, turtles, hiokoiy shad and
a miscellaneous collection of
attoki, tinoana, etc. The ring
master said, "this will not do,"
while the clown said, Mhow is
this for highf" and aprang sev-
enteen feet up into the air, whis
tied an all, turned five somer-
saults back and three forward
and alighted iu six inches of
water on his stomach. The
fishermen bold again caat their
net, this time with better suc-
cess, a few fish being taken, L.
W. Campbell with his good
clothes on was also taken in
the loving embrace of the ring
master—who believes ths only
way to salvation ia by immer-
sion—who plunged With his
charge into water about ten feet
deep. L W. took au involun-
tary liath, and then "took out"
beltiud a hin to dry his clothes.
As before stated, the party
went after fish, and they got
fish; some say they caught 150
pounda, others say 200 pounds,
while others aay 3U0 pounds,
and £be parry cooked and ate
all that were caught. The fact
ia this: Between 40 and 50
pounds of fish were caught

frolic was a grand success, no

tablishing and maintaining an
efficient public free school. Let

step in the accomplishment of
this purpose is the election of
five trustees to take charge of
the school interests. It' is au
unsettled question whether or
not this second election may be
held within twenty days from
the date of the first election. It
will be a decided benefit to the
oommunity if the new board-
elect may be legally empowered
to order an election for the im-
position of the needed tax be-
fure the first day of August. A
