CENTS' FURNISHINGS.
An October Without Frost.
The month just gone is phenomenal
in that it was an October without frost.
In this latitude such has never before
been the case within the memory of
the oldest citizen. The mouth was al¬
so notable for its few cloudy or rainy
days, there being but three or four
days in which the gathering of crops
was hindered.
--
Surely Growing Better.
Surely the world is growing better.
We had a gentleman call upon us Mon¬
day to ascertain if he was due any sub¬
scription upon his paper which was
stopped twenty-three years ago. This
gives us hope. If a delinquent of that
long standing comes to settle up his
dues we have reason to be more hope¬
ful of some of those of more recent
date. He sets an example for others
to follow.
---
Corrections in Court Proceedings.
In some of those unaccountable ways
tvvo errors occurred in the account of
the proceedings of court which we pub¬
lished a week ago. First, Mrs. Lizzie
Hush obtained first verdict for divorce
from Geo. W. Rush instead of vice
versa as it appeared. Second, the suit
of O. F. McRee against N. D. Arnold
was dismissed at cost of plaintiff will in¬
stead defendant as stated. Errors
occur in the best regulated newspaper
offices as well as elsewhere.
---—
Yesterday's Sales.
Only two bodies of land were sold
here yesterday. One of these was the
G. W. and G. II. Mattox lands consist¬
ing of 1,707 acres, which was divided
into eight lots and bought by Mr. I.
0. VanDuzer, of Elberton, for the
heirs for $13,150. The other was the
J. J. Lumpkin place, situated near Sa¬
lem, containing 140 acres and was
bought by Mr. W. M. Hawkins for
$1,545. Both these bodies were sold
by the administrators for division
among the heirs.
Stoves and Tinware.
Mr. C. J. O’farrell, who for many
years sold stoves and tinware to our
people, but who for the past four years
was the efficient postmaster in Athens,
has returned to his first love as will be
seen by his advertisement on the oppo¬
site page. He can be found at the old
stand of E. E. Jones with a most com¬
plete line of stoves, ranges, tinware,
and housefurnishing goods and he
most cordially invites his former pa¬
trons to call and see him, promising
the same fair dealing that characteriz¬
ed him when in the business before.
The people of this section will gladly
resume business relations with him.

Dr. Carswell to Lecture.
One of the rarest religious, literary
and historical treats this community
has ever had is in store for our consented people
tonight. Dr. Carswell has
to give at the Baptist church his lect¬
ure on the “Lost ten tribes of Israel”
which has given him more than State¬
wide reputation, Those who have
heard this lecture say it shows such a
vast amount of study and research into
ancient and biblical history as it is
hard to realize can be made by one
mind. It will be sure to interest, en¬
tertain and instruei ail bearers regard¬
less of belief or sect. The small ad¬
mission fee of 25 cents will be charged.
The Meetings at the Baptist Church.
Drs. E. R. Carswell and A. E. Keese
began Sunday morning the series of
meetings at the Baptist church an¬
nounced in our last issue. They will
at least coutinue through this week
and longer if deemed advisable. Good
congregations have attended the ser¬
vices, both morning and night, not
withstanding the threatening and rn
clement weather for part of the time,
and all have been regaled and greatly
benetitted by the forceful sermons by
Dr. Carswell. There had been no pro

the Methodist church for this circuit
was held in the Methodist church in

Among other business transacted they
decided to plaster the parsonage and
it was found that it would require at
least $25.00 to do it. Each church was
assessed $5.00 tor this purpose. At
the suggestion of one of the young la¬
dies present, it was decided to get the
the young people in the neighborhood,
regardless of denominations, to pick
cotton one day and try to raise the nec¬
essary amount. So on Saturday morn¬
ing a good crowd of boys ami girls re¬
paired to the cotton Held of Mr. Joua
than Bryan and such a time as they
had. At twelve o’clock all hands
went to the spring and partook of a
regular picnic dinner. Returning to
the field they picked until the wagon
came around to haul it up. After
weighing it it was found that more
than enough had been picked to real¬
ize the sum needed. And nobody was
any the worse off by it either.

-Prize fighting, we learn, is a tame
affair compared to a football contest;
that an encounter with Napoleon Par
rot guns at short range is a picnic
comparison, with a cyclone thrown in.
No wonder the Georgia LegiUature is
going to stop it. Enforcement of the
law for prevention of cruelty to ani
mals ought to do without more law.

two dollar bills.
— We see in the papers that one of
the players in the football team of the
University of Georgia was killed acci¬ le
dentally last Saturday in Atli n a Univer- wh
playing a match game with the
sitd of Virginia. If the victim had
been picking cotton and digging would pota¬
toes perhaps the accident not
have happened.
—One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred in this community in a
long time was that of Mrs. Wm. Brooks
which occurred last Monday morning
at one o’clock. Perfectly cognizant of
her condition and surrounded by her
children and loved ones she peacefully
and triumphantly passed away as if it
were only a sweet sleep. Mrs. Brook
was a consistent member of the Meth¬
odist church here and none knew her
but to love her; gentle, affectionate al¬
ways ready to do her part. She leaves
a husband and several children and
grand-children and numerous friendB to
mourn her loss. May the same com¬
forter be with them that was with her
is our prayer.
