Ci Mr. Editor: These beautiful cc warm days are mighty pleasant.al to the average person, but. tlie al ? y coal and woo l dealer doesn t enjoy them because his sales of wood and coal are decreased. 'Tie the other folks that enjoy them, m the people who have to travel m the streets, the fair ladies who ^ are anxious to wear their "peek a boo" waists, and others. m One of the big circuses which P' travels the country during Sum- fti! mer, will to into winter quarters ,0 here before long. Their big men- 11 agerie isjffilled with a lot of big, re r 1 : 11 : 1 _ C.i luuny, dangerous wnu ammais ? and tlie school children ol the i city will have the pleasure ol : ai going to see them on certain | days of the^week. The managers j have granted the'city lathers the w the use of one of their big ele phants, to be used in pulling a big four-horse j low, which is I ' used to plow tip one of the parks, c preparatory to sowing grain. The C( park contains about a hundred H< acres and it]will be a pre"y good 1,1 task for the elephant, but they a say they use them for that pm- '^( pose in India, and they see no reason why^Macou should not do ^ the same. One ot ourjj citizens, a mer chant, says his father, who lives -v' in South Carolina, if 1U1 years!1 old. This goes to prove that pen- w pie in the old|Palmel to State live ^ to ripe old age, as well as those Ht in Georgia. We heard a story c< once, told by a lellow, who was M* boasting of the longevity of <sf Georgians, and to illustrate, said i Tl that he was going along the pub-; lie road one day and saw a very tr aged, gray-headed and decrepit 01 man, sitting down, crying bit- P terly. He asked the old lellow P what the trouble was, and he 8t replied, uPa whipped me lor w sassing grandpa." The farmers have well-nigh! ^ gathered the crops ol corn and!8' cotton and are now turning their ^ attention to sowing small grain, c' syrup-making, etc. The crop of 11 Georgia cane is pretty fair thisjei year and large quantities of the 1 good old Georgia cane syrup will ! " be made. The sorghum cane is j a not planted much, as everybody 81 seems t. prefer the other kind 111 , hv iyr syrup, IV' as it we will have a big tourist! hotel in our city and every body is hoping that the plans now on toot to get one will materialize, j It is the intention ol the promo-I ters to secure a large tract of j land in the suburbs of the city! in the woods and build a very ' l irgo hotel, with at least si hun c<i dred rooms, have large golf iink^ |l(j and other sports and make the 00 I wl plane very comfortable and at | co tractive, so that the rich folks ^ from the North who come down j?i South during winter will like 1 the place and will return year bi ter year. We hope it will I lilt and believe it will be by tl me Lancaster gets her hospiti ly way.
