that it has less accomodations

The play, “My Brother’s
Keeper,” given last Friday night
by the Dramatic Club, drew a
crowded house and has received
unstinted praise. The Club
fully sustained its splendid rep-
utation and added to it. Some
of the players are artists, but
you may guess who they are as
we do not care to discriminate.
The receipts were nearly $40 and
everybody was more than pleased.

much hard work and the pro-

Selection of County
Depository.
We are glad to receive a short
sketch of the life of Bio. Roach
from Eld. Eaves.! Bro. Roach
was a good man, one of the old
uncoropi omising sort,
pioneer
with a backbone to stand bis
ground all the time, the kind of
a man that builds up and estab-
lishes a good cause in the face of
opposition. We shall l(n»
cherish his memory as one of the
staunchest friends we ever had,
a friendship highly prized on
account of the worth of the man.
The world was indeed made
better by his life. Cares and
sorrows finally weighed him
down and let the the tired body
rest but his spirit is enjoying its
well earned reward.

Dave and Wilson Green have
returned from their visit to Jim
Green, their brother, at Wheeler
and report him much improve d
and now out of danger. While
almost a stranger in his home
town, having moved there on ly a
few months since, they found
him in good hands and receiving
the very best care: They hud
quite a round about trip to get
there but passed over some
splendid country and met several
old friends who formerly lived in
and near Cumby. From Dave’s
report they seem to have unprov-
ed ginning facilities up there as
they take no care at all us to
?how the cotton is picked—they
iast gather it. He tells of one
man who had eightv acres of
cotton and could get no picker?,
y He cut the field with a stalk
gutter, raked it up with a hay
rake and took the whole crop to
the gins where he got it ginned
first class style. If that can
done, what use have we for

ing the crossing at the same
tune with the train. His wagon

The evidences of the disastrous
results of liquor advertisements
in newspapers continues to in-
crease. During the recent holi-
days, after reading a darning
liquor advertisement, some boys
that belonged to a reputable
family, ordered a jug of liquor,
got drunk, were put in jail and
it cost their father a good deal
of money to settle the matter up.

Hs Gboyed Orders.
General Dabney H. Maury in his
“Incidents of General T. J. Jackson”
says that when the war between the
states broke out Jackson was the pro-
fessor of mathematics at the Military
College of the South. He wished
strongly to take command of a cadet
corps, but the heads of the institu-
tion were desirous to have him con-
tinue his teaching. Governor Wise
called out the state troops and ordered
that a corps of cadets be held ready
for immediate service. Jackson, then
major, reported at once at the guard-
room as ready for duty. General
Smith said:
“Major Jackson, you will remain as
you are until further orders.”
Jackson at that moment was sitting
on a camp stool in the guardroom with
his saber across his knees. At reveilh
the next morning he was found in tin
same position.
“Why. major, why are you here?” ex-
claimed General Smith.
“Because last night you ordered me
to remain where I was.” was the reply.
The Real Thing.
“This.” said the young benedict who
was just realizing that he had caught
n tartar, “is what I call real married
life.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied with some-
thing." she snapped.
“Oh. I’m not! 1 merely meant to in-
form you that it is not ideal.”—Phila-
