Raining Sulphur in Kentucky
The dispatches Wednesday re¬
ported there was great excitement
among the people of Lexington
and other points in Kentucky, on
account of the raining of sulphur
over that part ot the country.
The sulphur is reported to have
fallen to the depth of half an inch
in several places.
Many people were alarmed, and
thought the world was coming to
an end.
If any place in the country is
near the “sulphur region,’’ we
should think it was the “Dark aud
Bloody Ground’’ of Kentucky.
Of course there was nothing in
it to cause alarm, and was perhaps
nothing but the polen from the
trees of some near-by forest.
But then, Kentucky needs to be
seared up a little, occasionally, to
keep the people straight.
Orphans’ Home Conference
The Orphans’ Home Conference,
just held in Atlanta, was a decided
success. About forty homes for
destitute children were represen¬
ted, not only by consecrated, but
workers whose wide awake brains
are seeking new and better meth¬
ods of bringing out the Jargest
manhood possible. The intense
love, for the most outcast, was
voiced by every one.
These workers represented six
states and 5,000 orphans, and Dr.
Vass, of South Carolina, said that
there were twenty turned away for
every one received.
The citizens must help these
struggling homes with buildings
and equipments and support, for
they save society from many a
criminal.
The noble addresses of Doctors
Jacobs, Muni ford, Booye^^r’tewart
Waddell, Sonn, Lawrence, aud
others, were capped by an appeal
to these states to see that reforma¬
tories for the young criminals were
founded, that we might make
good citizens of them, aud not ed¬
ucate them more deeply in crime
by our present methods. Rev. Dr.
W. W. Landrum spoke with great
power for reformatories, and a com¬
mittee was appointed to press the
matter.
Mr. George Muse called atten
tion to the fact that so many chil¬
dren were being reared to laziness,
worthlessness by being allowed to
stay in our poor houses. The con¬
ference resolved that the people
must be brought to realize the in¬
jury done these helpless children,
and provide homes for them where
the models will lift them up.
The interest was so great that a
conference will be held each year.
The officers are Rev.W. P. Jacobs,
D. D., of South Carolina, president;
Rev. J. W. Stewart, Alabama, vice
president ; and Rev. H. L. Crum¬
ley, Atlanta, secretary.
Great results will follow this
conference.
Don’t Neglect Yunr Liver.
Liver troubles quickly result in serious
complications, and the man who neglects bis
liver lias little regard for health. A bottle
of Browns’ Iron Bitters taken now and then
will keep the liver in perfect order. If the
•disease has developed, Browns’ Iron Bitters
will cure it permanently. Strength and
vitality will always follow its use.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

THE DAY BEYOND.
When youth is with us, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won.
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone,
“For life is long, aud time a stream
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun—
What ueod of any haste?” we say.
“Tomorrow’s longer than today.”
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again.
Wo have no leisure to enjoy.
“So few the years that yet remain;
Bo much to do, and, ah!” we say,
“Tomorrow's shorter than today.”
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like a bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
“It is not here the bliss we seek.
Too brief is life for happy rest.
Aud yet what need of grief?” we say;
“Tomorrow's longer than today.”

We, the grand jurors, chosen and sworn,

limited time would permit, we find, that
the books of the Ordinary, Treasurer,
Clerk Superior Court, Sheriff, Tax Collec¬
tor. Tax Receiver, and Clerk of the Board
of County Commissioner's, are neatly and
correctly kept as prescribed by law.
We find further, that the books and
dockets of the County Court are models or
neatness and accuracy, and Judge Dickson’s
report shows that the County Court dis¬
poses of a large amount of business, which
is in our opinion, a saving to the county.
We also find that the books of County
School Commissioner, are neatly kept,
showirg amount of moneys received by
him, and how disposed of; and we con¬
gratulate our county on the flourishing
condition of her schools.
We find the following vacancies in the
Notary Public. For the 1513 District. G.
M., A. D. Meador. For the 464 District,
G. M , A. C. Heard.

comply with the law as to keeking records
of all poisons sold by them, except the
Hammond Drug Co., they keep no poison
record, and say they sell no poisons.
We find that the public roads of our
county, (except a few bad places,) are in
good condition, and from what we have
sten of the new system of working our
roads, we approve of it, and think it is a
move in the right direction to have good
roads; We recommend that neat mile post
and guide boards be put up on all public
roods in the county.
We find at the pauper farm 11 inmates,
white males 2, white females 2. colored
males 2 colored females 5; they all seem
to be properly fed, clothed and cared for,
and the farm and buildings are neatly kept
and in good condition. We find the jail is
neatly kept as the circumstances will allow.
We find some repairs badly needed in
front and in the rear of the court, house
and recommend they be made at once, the
water closets in the rear of the court house
also need some repairs. We fix the sal¬
ary of the J udge of the County Court at
$400 per annum.

$2.00 per day, court bailiffs $2 00 per day,
