September 9.- The weather is getting e ?■
dremely dry in this section, causing eott m
to open rapidly and prematurely. A good
raiu is very much needed to allay the heat
and dust, a ml otherwise cool the sultry at
mosphere.
We are anticipating an average crop of
cotton and corn, though the iow price of
the fleecy staple is having a depressiiv
effect on our people, it seems to ben hard
matter for farmers to make any mono' at
their vocation. It is either too wet or too
dry, or the price of farm products too low
for them to come out ahead of the ex
penses; yet wo perceive they live, too, like
others, and always get along somehow or
somehow else. Living in the country is
so cheap., with plenty of unadulterated
milk and butter, no wood or water to buy
nor tine furbelows and costly apparel to
adorn the forms of our pretty wives and
daughters, and our children can play m
the sand and grow healthy and fat Ivith
soiled faces and hands. A\l these things
have such attractions to those who live by
the “sweat ot the brow” that they care not
whether Prince Alexander is dethroned or
earthquakes cease their rumblings, just so
the sunshine and the rain come in due
season.
The Columbus Baptist Association will
convene with the church at Taibotton on
the 22d inst. We made a visit to the town
yesterday, and learned that active prepa
ration was being made to entertain the
brethren, and to make the session one of
the most pleasant in years past. A large
delegation is expected and ample accom
modations will be provided for all whose
pleasure it will be to attend. Several min
isters from a distance have signified then-
intention of attending the association, and
every one, regardless of denominational
feelings, are expecting a grand time.
A protracted meeting is in progress at
this writing, at Mount Zion Baptist church
here, conducted by the pastor, Dr. Searcy,
and Rev. S. Maxwell. Meetings are held
twice a day, and large congregations
attend each service, and seem to manifest
great interest in an outpouring of a bless
ing here. The altar is crowded by those
who feel a consciousness of their sinful
nature and a need of Him who can cleanse
us from all sin. Three have united by-
experience already, and others are ex
pected as the meeting progresses. Services
are expected to continue during this ami
perhaps next week, as the interest and
-congregations increase each day and
night.
Our community lis honored this week
with the presence of Mrs. Eugene Gran-
berry and children, of Columbus, and Miss
Mattie Turner, of Forsyth, who are visit
ing Mrs. 8. B. Baldwin.
Misses Maud Thomason, of Columbns,
and Miss Lizzie Thweatt, of Fort Valley,
are visiting Mrs. William and Mrs. Dr.
Searcy.
Mrs. M. J. Collier and her daughter,
Miss Lucy, of Thomaston, and Mrs. J.
C. Baldwin are visiting Mrs. E. A. Bald
win.
Mr. John S. Searcy, of Taylor county, is
shaking hands this week with his friends
generally, and among the fair sex espe
cially.
Mr. W. A. Roberts, of New Iberia, is vis
iting relatives here after an absceuce of
quite a year.

Wafask, Ind., September 9.—A singular
suit for breach of promise has been died
with a chair. That episode occured later
in the shampooing room. In the hot. room
the attendment had escaped, and I found
myself locked in befor I had disentangled
myself from the sheet, and seized the
chair, and have paid its value into court,
but it was broken against the door, and
not on the attendant, who was one of the
most nimble fellows 1 ever saiv.
Mr. Towells will find it a different thing
testifying in court on oath to giving a
garbled version of the affair to the inac
curate reporter of an irresponsible paper.
In tho interview I refer to, Towells said
I kept up such a tirade of abuse at the
operator who Avas shampooing me, that a
Detroit alderman who was in the pooling
room hud to get up and leave.
To that, I have jvist- two things to say;
win tho affections of a Caucasian maiden.
The comp'aint alleges that Kid-Lo-Sie was
assiduous in his attentions to Miss Engart,
proposed marriage and was accepted, and
subsequently, disregarding his betrothal,
wedded another woman; to all of which
Kid-Lo-Sie sets up a stout denial. Several
damaging letters,,however, are in posses
sion of Miss Engart. The demand is for
$6000, and as Kld-L-i-Sie has property, a
verdict in favor of Miss Engart would be
worth 100 cents on the dollar.

The Chief Anarchist Asks Xo Favors, and Ile-

Chicago, September 9.—The only one
of the seven anarchists condemned to the
scaffold who doesn’t want a new “trial is
August Spies, the good looking young
editor-in-chier of the Arbeiter Zeitung. It
is said that almost daily he remonstrates
with the counsel regarding their efforts to
obtain a new trial, or, in default, to take
the case to the supreme court, and he has
spent hours daily in a vain effort to bring*
his comrades to the same way of thinking.
He says that he has always had a present
ment that he was born to be hanged, and
that it was on this account that he never
took ui^to himself a wife. He is in good
health and spirits, has no regrets ior the
Haymarket occurrence, or for his present
predicament, and above all is vehemently
opposed to appeals being made to his
socialistic friends for funds to carry on the
appeal. “I would rather die to-morrow,”
he is reported to have said, “than to have
the begging hat passed among my friends
for money to save my neck.”

Now as to the feeling of the attendant:
To show you the utter recklessness of
that man Towells, I may say that his min
ion was lying insensible under the sham
pooing table when Towells, having heard
the row, came down. As the man has not
yet recovered consciousness at the hos
pital, I would like to know how Towells is
in position to state what occurred. Here
is now it happened:
I said to Scrubbs: “I’ve got a bad cold,
you must be careful about cooling down.”
“All right,” said Scrubbs.
He turned on the spray and I yelled.
“Too hot?” asked Scrubbs.
“Hot!” I shrieked. “It’s boiling. Great
Scott, don’t you see you’ve scalded me? I
don’t want to leave this place a skeleton
for an anatomy museum. ’
“I’ll fix that in a minute,” said Scrubbs.
He twisted a brass arrangement and
turned the hose on me again. The drops
struck me like pellets of ice. Before I
been for the bracing effects of the admira
ble Tonic.” Again the writer says: “I am
proud of Greenville’s sons. Long live Dr.
Westmoreland, and may his name be wide
famed for the preparation of so excellent
and palatable a medicine.” * * Sev
eral other highly complimentary refer
ences are made in the letter to the splen
did effects of the Tonic. Westmoreland
Bros, only ask any one who is suffering
from debility, loss of appetite or malaria,
to try their medicine. It is sure to revive
and strengthen. “And all it costs is a dol

“Yes, Nashville rats are a pretty brnve
it, sure enough,” said a lean man to the
.porter. “I only arrived iu this city
st night, and, after an early breakfast, X
rolled down along Market street. Just
; the foot of the hill I heard an unearthly
irt of a noise that reminded me of the
,-erture of one of Wagner’s operas, and
Bet out in search of the cause. Round-
ig the corner of the alley I saw a big
ack cat, hair standiug on end, and pro-
ressing by fits and starts backward,
very time she’d move backward the most
Drrible yell I ever heard would come out
’her larynx. I couldn’t make out at first
hy she insisted on going backward, as
iere was a clear road in. front of her; but
oving a little to one side, I saw that, a
■eat big rat had hold of her by the tail,
bile another rat, a venerable old cuss,
ith gray clothes and white whiskers, had

ither they were hauling pussy toward a

id watched the struggle until they nmil-
got the cat cl 'se up to the hole, and then
iey found out that the orifice was too
nail to permit the cat’s being pulled in.
he old gray cuss let go his hold, divert
to the hole and came back in a minute
ith about forty more rats, and the whole
mg at once set to work pulling out the
■icks and enlarging the hole. It took
iem about five minutes to do this, and

id twisted his tail around a gas pipe and

II Will Not disappoint You.
I contracted blood poison two years ago.
I was treated with Potash and Mercury
for over two months by physicians. I
thought I was well, but the fires were only
smoiildering. The eruption came out
anew more violent than betore. A friend
who had tested it in a similar case suggest
ed S. S. S. I began its use, and com

disease passed away, it left me with mer
curial rheumatism as the result of taking
the mercury and potash mixtures. That
is also yielding to the influence of Swift’s
Specific, and will soon he gone. To the
afflicted 1 would say, give it a fair trial,
and you will not be disappointed in re
