There will be a public debate

tion for debate is; “Resolved,
That the Education of Females
should be equal to that ot Males"
Col. W. K. Fielder, leading the
affirmative, Rev. B. F. Payne the
negative. All are invited to at
tend.
Mr. Newton Lawrenoe, an old
citisen of Paulding County, who
lias been confined to his bed for
a number of months un Jer the
prostration of consumption, died
last Saturday morning at his home
near Owens’ mill, on Pumpkin

Re. d the advertisement, to be
found in another column, ot Prof-
£. T. Pound, advertising his pop
ular sjng books. The Professor
instructed a class in vocal music
iu Dallas lust week, using these
books, and all were delighted
with them. The name of Edwin
T. Pounit is too well known to all
loverH of music in tins section to
need any recommendation from

They Swept the Street.—Ou
last Tuesday morning a number
of citizens were busily engaged in
sw epiug on main .street, and
they were not sweeping for the
amusement there was in it, but
tiny meant to remove the rubbish
which had accumuhited there, and
'besides, they ki.ew that “Old
Walt” would “set-’em-ap” to a
drink of thatpe.ro "Golden Grain”
wliisk?y, which is the best wli'.s--
were attached’to the wpgon be
come irightened and dashed off
down the street in the direction of
the depot. Mr. Braswell at firs’
attempted to check them up, but
seeing the folly of such a course
concluded his Bafety lay iu imme
diately aoandouing the wagon by
jumgin^. When he released his
hold on the lins, preparatory to
making his contemplated leap for
safety, his mules dashed forward
with a sudden bound, throwing
Mr. Braswell, out of the wagon
and dashing him upon the grnuud
with considerable force. Several
witnessed the accident and al
most immedia ely they arrived
upon the spot where Mr. Bras-
welt lay, and he was taken up and
carried into the Christian Hotel
and Drs. Robertson and Foster
soon strived and mad- an exami
nation of his injuries. It was as
certained that he had received
severe wounds upon the head,
and it is Jeard internal injuries.
The mules continued their head
long flight, taking ilie street lead-
in out of town toward Powder
gprings; but was stopped after
running between a quarter and
half mile. There was but li tie
dammugc done to either mules or
wagon. Mr. Braswell was moved
from the hotel to his home soon
af er the accident, and up to th»
time of going to press was confin
ed to his bed from the effect of
his injuries.
Interesting to Isulies.
Our lady readers can hardly
fail to have their attention called
this week to the latest combina
tion of improvements in that
most useful of all domestic imple
ments, the “sewing raichiue."
As we understand it a machine
for family use should meet first
of all those requirements: It
should be simple in i s m< chan-
ism; it should run easily; it
.should do a wide range of work;
it should be as nearly noisless ns
possible; it shoul 1 be light, hand

Meant Zion Notes.
Crops are improving since the
cold spell in May. Some wheat
is now being cut,
Mr. •!• D. Goodwin presented a
stalk of wheat grown on his farm
that measured five and one half
feet in length. He has one half
of an acre that will average that
length, also oats that wilt make
at the rat« of fifty bnsliels to the
acre. Who c*n beat that for this
county?
I noticed in passing through a
portion of the Nineteenth and
Utah districts, of this county, th»
crops were spotted. On red land
cotton looked well, hut on the
grav lands cottor was very small
tnd had the appearance of grow

where the land had been well
prepared before it was sown.
Early oats were fine; late oa's

write yon all the news itbout the

all about it, for they feel interest

In this section the crops are
well worked, and the fanners are
doing all they can to meet the
harvest.
