A Visit to Madge.
On Sunday the writer made
a visit to some old friends in the
extreme northern part of Har-
mon county. We first visited
M. M. Ownby and family, living
a mile north of Madge, with
whom we took dinner and on
our return we stopped for a
short visit with Newt Abernethy
who represents the northern
part of the county in the Com-
missioners oourt. We grew up
from a boy below our teens to
the last year of said teens on a
farm near the farm of Mr.
Ownby in Texas and we knew
Mr. Abernathy during the same
years. Since coming to Hollis
we have had the pleasure of
meeting these old friends, but
the families of each we had not
seen for seventeen years
Hence our visit abounded in that
peculiar pleasure that comes
only of meeting the friends of
long lost days. When Mrs.
Ownby, looking just as of old
with the exception of silver hairs,
met us and addressed us by the
name we knew as a boy, it swept
aside the events of later times
and we saw only the yester
years when we were a boy and
often in her home. And when
Mr. Ownby remarked to a visitor
that. "Harry seemed very much
like one of his own boys" we
concluded that ihere are no
friends in all the world quite
like old friends.
Mr. Ownby's elder children,
who are about the age of the
writer, were girls, hence Mr.

Postponed
The debate between the Hollis

|j was to occur last Saturday night

the Olustee school pleading un-
preparedness. The Hollis school
was in readiness.
The subject for debate is,
' Resolved that the signs of the
times indicate the downfall of
the nation." Hollis has the
i negative side and will of course
come out with the pennant.
