The Baptist meeting here, just closed, was quite a treat to our citi¬ zens, who attended very closely. Oscar Dunbar and the irrepressi¬ ble Jno. Hooks were with Toccoa friends last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. G. \Y. Edw ards paid a short visit to Clarkesvllle Monday. L. S. Alien, of Washington, D. C., a real estate promoter and ma¬ nipulator, is in this city, Mr. De Belle, of Atlanta, w ill conduct evening services at St. Matthais chapel Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock. All are invited. Editor Bass, of the Clarkesviile Advertiser, was in town Friday of last week and called at the Times- News office. Mrs. Rivers and family, of At¬ lanta, who have been the guests for the past several months ot the Ed¬ wards House, have returned home. Eddie Hiott was confined to his bed for a few days this week with bilious lever contracted before com¬ ing to tlie highlands. Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Capps were called to Hiavvassee Monday even¬ ing on account of the serious illness of Mrs. McConnell, Mrs. Capps’ mother. W. J.

Those having land for sale will do well to place it in the hands of the Toccoa Real Estate Exchange. We have recently entered into an unexcelled arrangement for selling property in and near Toccoa. If there is no sale there is-no charge. Mrs. I*. E. Nemo, of Atlanta, but formerly of Toccoa, came up this week and drew $2000 from Knights of Honor Lodge here, of which her late husband was a member. While in Toccoa Mrs. Nemo was the guest of Mrs. J. L. Martin. Every Toccoa carpenter and brick ma¬ son in has been at work for the past summer. For some time there has not been an idle carpen¬ ter or mason to be secured for short jobs, as they are all engaged on larger contracts. Building is on a boom in Toccoa. Mr. D. M.Riodon, of Arizona, and his daughter were in Toccoa this week. Mr. Riodon is a prom¬ inent gentleman with a large ac¬ quaintance, and has been looking at our country with a view of lo¬ cating in this section. We should he glad to number him among our citizens ; we need more progresaive men. Little Annie Zu Dillard, who has been so dangerously sick the past week, we are gind to state, is much better at this writ- ing. Her life was despaired of several times the forepart of the week. Rev.

The Discovery Saved His Life. Beaversville, Mr G Caillouette Druggist Ill. says: “To "Dr! King s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with LaGrippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no* avail and was given up and told I could not live, Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to <»et better and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold.

Mme. Tholozan, wiie oi rne shah's French physician, was in many ways a remarkable woman. She bad lived in Persia many years and was full of anecdotes of her varied experiences of harem life in that country. She had long been literally pursued by “the fire fiend.” Fifteen years ago she was saved cM° m a barnin £ vessel off Batonm. she was a, n° U g the rescued fr°Di th° terrible fires which destroyed the Opera Comique in Paris and the Municipal theater at Nice, and she arrived in Con- gtantinople on the morning of the fatal fire which burned down Mesaire's fa- moos hotel, and only escaped with her life, all her property being burned. She caught a cold in this adventure which ultimately settled on the lungs and caused her death. Her Dross Did it. Clothes, since Eve set the fashion, have been so tremendously important in hu¬ man affairs anyway that I believe that consideration of them consumes more of the world’s time than auy other ono sub¬ ject. They make people do the oddest things too. I mot a woman the other day whose presence of mind was once the means of saving ever so many lives. It happened in a little northwestern town in a ball where an amateur company was giving some sort of a performance—-you know how they do in little towns. There was a smell of smoke, and somebody cried, “Fire!” There was an instant panic. The woman I sneak of was at the piano. Sho half rose to go, but dropping back to hei 6 eat began to play—fancy!—“The Patrol Comique”—as loud as sho could, calling out to everybody that, there was no danger. Of course she checked the panic. I asked bor about it tho other day. “How did you feel?” I asked. “My dear,” said she, “I thought of the stairs we’d have to go down. I saw I should bo dragged with tho crowd. Then suddenly I remembered a brand new dress I was wearing. I simply—well, I began to play to save the dress, and I saved it.” —Washington Post. How Sho Economizes. I study advertisements, and I know where and when and how to purchase the household supplies. My husband used to laugh at mo for reading advertisements so carefully, but ho has long since learned that I save many dollars every month. I know of no better way to practice econ¬ omy, and do you know that it Is a wonder how soon you learn to detect the real from the false, intuitively almost? I do not think I have over been “taken in” by an Advertisement. There is always some¬ thing about the false ones that repels me. You hoar a greut deal nowadays about the “practical pages” of magazines and newspapers, but for me the practical pages are those containing the business an¬ nouncements of reputablo business houses. The housekeeper who takes advantage of the practical hints in those pages shows a great deal more common souse than does the ono who tries to furnish a seven room cottage with a lot of soapboxes covered with denim worked in fancy stitch, and to feed her growing family with never ending reminiscences of tho meal that went be¬ fore. To the economical housekeeper the advertisements are the most important part of any publication.—Womankind. fertilizing Properties of Cottonseed. Question. —I have a quantity of cot¬ tonseed, for which I am offered $ 7.00 per ton. Will it pay me to accept that price, or are tho seed more valuable to the farm as a fertilizer? Please tell me the fertilizing properties in a ton of seed and their value. Answer. —I have always endeavored to convince the farmers of Georgia that it would not pay them to sell their cot¬ tonseed at $ 7.00 per ton ( 10 x j cents a bushel). The haul of the seed must be counted against the farmer, aud cannot be estimated at less than $1.00 per ton, leaving him $6.00 per ton—or less than 9 cents per bushel. As meal is selling for about $ 18.00 per ton, you will bo giving three tons of seed for one of meal, Let us compare the value of three tons of seed to a toa of mea1 ’ in fertilizing P ro P erfc i es * Nitrogen.

In the above calculation no value has been gj ven to the mechanical effect of the -^hole seed when used as a fertilizer, though every farmer knows that in use- j U g t^ e -whole seed he adds considerable humus to the soil, and renders stiff clay soils more friable and easier of cultiva- tiou.—State Agricultural Department. To Destroy the “Leaf Folder.” Question. — I have a number of vines that are affeeted with “Leaf Folder.” What will prevent them, and will they do much damage to vines this late in tiie season? I also have some vines af- fiT Is it not the “Rose Chafer?” What •hall I do to remedy the matter? Answer.— The best method of des- troying the “Leaf Folder” is to crush them suddenly within the leaf with both hand3. To prevent their appear- ance, however, is less troublesome, pro- ™ied the neighboring grape growers aixite in the effort. The chrysalis is formed within the folds of the leaf, aud by going over the vineyard in the autumn, before the leaves fall, and care- fully picking aud destroying all those ; that are folded and crumpled rite sup- plv for the following year will be cut 1 This remedy, though very effect- ( i ve , avail but little unless all iu a neighborhood unite in ir. I do not think tii? "Leaf Folder” will injure your vines this late in the season (Sept. 10 ), but you should take steps to reduce their numbers for another year. The l eaves sent are injured by the “Grape i Leaf Hopper.” and not by the “Rose Chafer. ” Tne former atrack the thin leaved varieties of grapes in preference to those with thicker leaves, like the Concord, etc. They fasten their beaks “‘«e • ,, , »„d auck jnlcea, until length tne learea tacoino aiokly. yel- * 0,v an d prematurely dry, giving the vine the appearance it should have at the approach of winter. The most jiromising remedy vet discovered is to dust the leaves with pvrethrum (insect powder), or tobacco dust, in the “ earlv * life ... of the “Leaf T . Hopper, rT „ , before they , have acquired wings. Millions of them may be destroyed by this means. After they acquire wings there is no remedy yet known that has much effect upon them.—State Agricultural Department. Chickens Suffering From Roup. Question. —Can you tell me the dis¬ ease, and give me a remedy for my sick chickens, several of which are affected as follow's: A thick offensive discharge from the nose, heads swollen, the eyes often closed, great weakness and con- stant thirst? Answer. —Your chickens are suffer¬ ing from roup, which is very fatal un¬ less promt measures of relief are taken. The sick fowls should at once be re- moved from the flock, and placed in dry, warm quarters. Warm, soft food in which a teaspoouful of sulphur for a dozen fowls, has been mixed, should be given them. A iittle cayenne pepper or powdered ginger should also be mixed with the food, three times a day. Wash the head and nostrils with castile soap¬ suds, and then with weak alum water several times daily. Syringe the nos¬ trils and throat daily with a solution of one part of chloride of soda to two of water. Should they show no improve¬ ment under this treatment, you had bet¬ ter kill, and bury or burn them. It is easier to prevent roup, than to cure it. Warm, dry shelters in bad weather, fresh, pure waiter to drink, cleanly and nutritious food, no crowd¬ ing together in large flocks, aud active measures kept up to prevent lice and filth, will insure your chickens not only against roup, but also against many other diseases to which poultry are sub¬ ject.—State Agricultural Department. Rice ms Stock Feed. Question. —I have a field of upland rice, that has a very fine growth of stalk. It is now heading out, and as the heads appear, they dry up the stalk. Cau you tell me why this is? Should I cut the rice now, what kind of stock feed would it make? Answer. —Not knowing all the con¬ ditions, relating to the soil, rainfall, etc., it is difficult to give a satisfactory an¬ swer to the first question. It is possi¬ ble that tho soil is so dry, that the plants can advance no farther towards matu¬ rity, or it may be that the land was en¬ riched with a fertilizer not properly bal¬ anced, and that in its growth it has ex¬ hausted the plant food necessary to make the grain, and has so come to a stand still. By all means cut it for stock feed, as both mules and cattle will eat it greed¬ ily. If the heads have not filled at all, it will make fine long forage, and if the heads are partly filled it will be of course that much better.—State Agricultural Department. Marti Troubled With Urticaria. Question. —I have a pony mare 10 or 11 years old. She has had something like ircli for 3 or 4 years. First appears as itch, then in hard whelks; has been get'iug worse every summer; almost disappears in the winter. There is no eruption. She seems perfectly well aud hearty otherwise. Cau you tell me what is the matter and give me a remedy? Answer. —Your horse is troubled with urticaria, an itching skin trouble, due usually to high feeding, with insufficient exercise. It is neither dangerous nor contagious. Give her 6 drachms of Barbadoes aloes, made into a pill; reduce her feed, give her more work, and the disease should soon disappear.—State Agricultural Department. To Remove Wart*. Question.— I own a fine colt two years old, that has a large wart on its hind leg, on the knee joint. I cut it off once and applied pulverized bluestone, but it has grown out again. The colt is a valuable one, and I would like to know how to get rid of the wart. It is as large as a man’s fist. Answer. —Cut off wart again and ap¬ ply acetic acid daily until cured. You should have no trouble in removing it permanently by this #neans. It is al¬ ways best to remove warts before they grow so large, as the operation then would be less painful, and a cure more easily effected.—State Agricultural De¬ partment.

Coming so well indorsed and recommended, we do not hesitate to recommend the show' to our readers.
