Capt. C. F. Hill is the most generous man of the season so far as grapes and the editor are concerned.  He brought in a large sack of the finest fruit from his Tom Watson vine of the middle-of-the-road variety.  All of his Tom Watson grapes are fine.  We enjoyed them very much.  Success to Capt. Hill and his grapes.

R. S. Woodward is the best newspaper subscriber in all this part of the country.  He is now running five names on our subscription list, and they are all paid up, May 1898; at one time recently he had paid his subscription to the Atlanta Journal Constitution 14 years in advance.  Long live Bob Woodard.
