Uncle John Hann and Mrs. Ned
.Mellottwere shopping in town
Monday and called at this office.
Mr. Hann said that the fires on
Sideling Hill gave him a close cal
last week. Many of his fences
were burned. For a time, the
pike was full of rabbits that were
trying to get away from the fire.
A postcard from Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. Mann to this office from
SaintCloud, Florida, shows a quar
tette of alligators singing "Way
Down Upon the Suwanee River."
We take the liberty of cautioning
these good friends that this song
when Bung by alligators 13 so fas

is that the alligator gets a square

On last Sabbath evening Mr.
J. K. Johnston was suddenly
stricken with acute indigestion
and fell unconscious to the floor
and remained in that condition
for a quarter of an hour. Medi
cal aid was at once summoned
but it was several hours before
all danger was thought to be
passed. Mr. Johnston was con
fined to his room for several days
in consequence. At the time o
the attack he was in apparent
eood health, and was in conver
sation with the family, so that it
was a great shock to the latter.
Secretary W. J. Bryan in a re
cent speech said: "After years
of study of the essentials of good
votine I have decided that two
things are essential to make a
person vote well. They are in
tellieence and morality. I dis
covered a few days ago , that
there are 354 men and 5 women
in our State Penitentiary. I have
noticed that women outnumber
the men in the churches. If wo
men have sense enough to keep
out of penitentiary and morals
enough to go to church it follows
that they will make good voters
Not in years has the deadlock
between apple growers and buy
ers in the orchard been so mark
ed. Under the knowledge of an
excellent crop, particularly in the
surplus states depended opon for
winter markets, buyers held
aloof, with dragging transact
tions well into October harvests.
In the aggregate a good many
apples have been sold by orhard
ists at $1.25 . to $2 per barrel,
which leaves little enough profit
after paying 38 to 40 cents for
the package. The commercia
crop for 1914 is reported by Amer
ican Agriculturist at 41 million
barrels, compared with 31 mil
lions one year earlier.

'Notes From C. Y.S.N.S.
Our school is growing. At the
beginning of the Fall Term Sept
1. the register book showed an
increase of fifty per cent over
the number of last year. Fulton
County has twelve representa
tives at present and expects to
have several more at the begin
ning of the Spring Term.
Roy J. Mathias. of Burnt Cab
ins, has been elected president
of the Press Club for the follow
imr year. Because of the ab
sence of Prof. A. B. Wallize, who
went to Johnstown, Dr. Lehman
has taken up the work of advis
ing the Press Club.
The annual Thanksgiving play
will be given on Thursday even
ing Nov. 2G. We are looking for
ward to a great event as the play
has been very successful in the
High Schools of New York City.
It was written by our principal
of the Utah School of this city.
It is entitled, "Charles Dickens"
and it aims to give the students
a knowledge of Dickens' home
life.
Basketball season opens Nov.
21 with a game with Waynesboro
Fulton County is very fortunate
in having three players on the
varsity this year, Barnhart Ma
thias and Scnever.
Our new Model School is being
completed at present and it is
said will be occupied during the
winter term. The present Mod
el School will then be used as a
department for the Commercial
Course.
Theatricals at Bustontown.
Hustontown and vicinity is
promised a treat Friday evening,
November 27th. Three plays,
namely, Our Lysander, Murder
Will Out and Our Awful Aunt
will be interpreted by experien
ced local talent in the P. O. S. of
A. Hall. Admission 10 and 15
cents. Doors open at 7 o'clock,
performance at 8. A lot of good
fun is assured for the evening.
We are banking on the con
tinuance of the exercise of gbod
sense on the part of Fulton coun
ty hunters not to shoot at objects
until they know for a certainty
that it is not a , human being.
This year broke the .record in
other parts of the State for kill
ings in this manner. The malady
that leads to these killings is
called "trigger madness." It
means that men get so anxious
to kill a deer that they positively
"go mad," and pull the trigger
at the least suspicion that game
is within reach. No jury can
find a milder verdict than man
slaughter in such cases.
