The late election for member of the House oi Representatives was an exceedingly quiet oue, but few of our people even knowing that It was to take place. This was one year Id whlcn the primary election would have answered every purpose and saved one meeting of our clilzens. Sheriff and Mrs. F. W. R. Nance came up Friday and staid till the next day. Mr. Wayman Brown lee, of Peony's Creek, was in town Friday night the guest of Mr. Ci. VV. Speer. Mr. and Mrs. George \V.

Cooley and other relatives. Here it is, the middle of November, the date by which, more often than otherwise the rlgortsof winter are upon us, but to date, but few of the changes brought about thereby are to be seen. Not only so but there are many of the sum tner and sprint; time evidences all around. In the gardens we have young tomatoe plants In abundance, green beans are still being eaten. In the fields a second growth has taken place In spots on the cotton, where the field peavines were cut sometime ago the stubs have put out again. We have had to this date only a few light fronts, which only nipped the tenderest vegetation. The first of last week our people were sorry to learn ol the death on Monday of Capt. G. R. McCalla, which sad event took place at the home of his brother, Senator I. H. McCalla. He had for sometime been making his home with his brother. Col John W. McCalla, In Elbert county, where he was taken sick a few weeks ago. He at once came over here, thinking the change might be beneficial, but alas, the best medical skill on both sides of the Savannah together with the kindest and most constant attention of loved ones and friends could not stay the dread band of disease and death conquered. Capt. McCalla was about 21 years of age, was honored and respected by all who knew him, was best loved by bis closest of kin who had the best opportunity to find out his true worth. He will be sadJy missed by a large circle of relatives and friends, but we all hope to meet him In that better land. His remains were laid to rest with Mason Ic honors In the family buryiDg ground, near by the home of bis boyhood and youth to await the resurrection morn. Messrs. J. O. and E. J.
