A. Sauer. On account of the inclement weather the organization of a Baptist Young People's Union was not made Sunday but was postponed to some future time. The man who refuses to support the good roads movement, and votes against the bond issue because he fears it will increase his taxes, will not and cannot be expected to support any institution or movement, however laudable, unless he has a direct personal interest in the same. Mobile Herald: Mr.

E. A. Summers of Marlow, is at the Southern at the head of a party of homeseekers who will go to Baldwin county this afternoon. The party is composed of Mr. and Mrs.

J. Johnson of Chicago: Miss Budd of Milwaukee; Phil Pott, Kenosha, Wis. James Smoller, August Zade and son, Racine, Wis. Charles Gates and Mrs. Mary E.

Gates, Milwaukee, Wis. Mrs. John F. Cothran, died in Mobile on the 10th after a very brief illness. While en route home on a street car Monday afternoon Mrs.

Cothran was taken suddenly ill. All that med ical skill could do was done, but to no avail. Mrs. Cothran was the third daughter of H. E.

An derson of Stockton, formerly of Mobile, and was 22 years of age. July 2, 1901, she was married to Mr. Cothran, who is connected with the Daily Item and is well known to many in this county. Capt. D.

C. Byrne, returning from a trip to several points in tne county a tew days ago, tola a Times reporter of the large number of tupelo gum trees growing in the swamps and spoke of the heavy and growing demand for it. "No one would have believed a few years ago," said the Captain, "that a tupelo gum swamp was any more than so much waste of land, worthless in the extreme, but now siuce the manufacturers have found out its value they are paying good prices for the timber, and swamps where the trees grow have sold for as much as seven and eight dollars an acre." We do not know just what various uses tupelo gum wood is put to, but it is in demand on account of its very light weight. The shipping of tupelo gum timber is getting to be a highly remunerative business in some sections of the county, and as there seems practically an unlimited amount of it, the sappy growth springing up rapidly every year, much attention will no doubt be paid to the busintss in future with profitable results. Several of the public roads of the county are being worked.

The overseers are evidently in sympathy with the good roads movement and are expressing their sentiments in a practical way. 1 S. The More Important Happenings of the Week Throughout the County Con cisely Reported by The Times' i Corps of Live Correspondents. PERDIDO. EditcrTiMEs: News is somewhat scarce through this section of the county, but I will give the readers of our good Times a few items.

We have plenty of good watermelons for the picnic Wednesday. Messrs. J. S. Havard and J.

B. Weekley, of this place, left some days ago to attend the Massey Business College of Montgomery. Mr. W. B.

Thomley returned Friday from atrip to South Bald win. Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

Cooper of Wilmer. returned to their home Monday. Mr. and Mrs. C.

Irwin of this place paid their parents at Bay Minette a visit Sundav. Mrs. J. A. Lewis of Pensacola, is the guest of Miss Francis Havard.

Crops in this country are good the best we have ever seen. Old Baldwin is the place to raise corn, cotton, sweet potatoes, etc. We hope all interested will turn out to the school meeting Wed nesday. Let's have good schools and good roads in Baldwin. The L.

N. Railroad Company is extending the side-track at Perdido, which will be a great advantage to the timber and turpentine shippers of this place, Mr. R. M. Grimes of Carney, was in Perdido Sunday.

Mr. C. H. Smith of Magic City passed through Perdido Friday en-route to Mobile. Mr.

Hilary Jones of Bay Minette was a visitor here laBt week. Mr. H. Havard killed the finest beef last week that has been killed in this country in some time, It weighed 455 pounds, dressed. Ego.

GANBY. Editor Times Since the late hail storm disaster the crops in this locality have recovered wonderfully, and far beyond our most sanguine expectations. Corn has yielded better than last year's crop, and cotton looks promising at present, but if the late, frequent and copious rains continue much longer they will prove injurious to this crop. Most of thf people here opposed to the proposed bond issue, for the purpose of building public highways, are practically disfranchised on account of not having paid their poll taxes, and cannot vote, 60 the matter rests with the few who have their certificates and have puid their poll taxes." The Free-will Baptists are hold ing a protracted meeting here this week. Rev.

G. W. Little, the regular pastor, arrived on the 9th inst. He was accompanied by Dr. Ray.

a prominent minister and celebrated cancer doctor from near Canoe, The Primitive Baptists held an important meeting on the 4th Sabbath in last mouth. They had holy communion and foot-washing and administered the Lord's Supper. Mr. Geo. M.

Mosely was ordained a minister of the gospel. Married, June 24th at the residence of the bride parents, near $anoe, Mr. J. S. p.tpn, Jr.

BAY niNKTTK, LILLIAN. Editor Times Independence Day was celebrated here by a pic-nic and school exhibition dialogues, recitations and national songs being the principal features of the exhibit. Conducted by that most efficient teacher, Mrs.

M. J. Breton, the scholars acquitted themselves splendidly, and as to talent and deportment they will compare favorably with any community. I always did say that Baldwin county was famous for pretty girls and smart boys, and dog-on-it if I don't begin to believe it, I like to have said, especially the Lillian boys and girls, but I didn't. Now, Mr.

Editor, about that bond issue. I find there is a good many kicking against the issue, and some of the hardest kickers are fellows that have not cast a vote for the last ten years, and I expect when flection day comes around they can be found at. home still kicking. I am in favor of any measure that I think will benefit the county, and I know that one hundred thousand dollars worth of good roads if in-teligently constructed and fairly distributed through the county, will benefit it, therefore, I expect to vote for the issuance of bonds, and I would be pleased to see every man entitled to vote turn out on the 21st inst. and vote as they think for the best interests of the county.

Let it be for or against the issue, it is a question of interest to all, and if we fail to take proper interest in the advancement of our county our progress will be slow. Hoping this may find the new addition to The Times' force progressing favorably, is the wish of W. T. Kee. LOTTIE, Editor Times: An interesting case came up in the justice court here on the 27th ult.

Mrs. Dolly Smith preferred a charge against her half brother, Ben Poston, for assault and battery. The State's witnesses, four in all, corroborated each other and agreed as to seeing the defendant catch Dolly in the collar and rub his fist in her face. The defendant was found guilty and fined one dollar and costs whereupon he appealed his case to the circuit court and was bound over under a bond of one hundred dollars. Several picnic parties are enjoying themselves in this vicinity, but your correspondent will have to content himself at home, as it takes all the horse power we have to carry the younger folks to the picnics.

Justice court will convene in Perdido beat at Lottie post office on the first Saturday in each month. Court was not held on the 4th, however, as that was a legal holiday. Cases on docket for that term were set for the 8th inst. Yours for good roads, R. The Mobile Double and Single Entry BOOK-KKEPING Shorthand, Typewriting sad Lileriataire.
