The weather is still dry and hot.
Cotton picking is being rapidly
pushed and we notice where it has
been kept up with but little re
mains to open.
Many acres of land is now turn
ed ready for seeding.
A great many of our people at
tended the tent meeting which has
been in progress at Kingston.
Miss Mollie Whitaker, of L,igon,
spent last Sunday in our midst.
W. A. Dodd, of Taylorsvile, has
r ecently been visiting friends and
relatives in this community.
Harry Dodd, of Atlanta, spent
several days with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dodd.
Mrs. F. M. Martin, of Fairview,
has been visiting relatives and
friends near Cassville.
The Oak Grove Methodist Sun
day school took up a collection
last Sunday morning for the Or
phan’s home in Atlanta and re
ceived $8.75. It was very grati
fying to the writer to be present on
this occasion. The little ones of
which there were many gave evi
dence by their every action that
they were impressed deeply with
the idea of having an opportunity
of assisting the homeless, mother
less, fatherless and helpless little
orphans. This Sunday school is
large and well conducted under the
management of Mr. Clarence Dodd
and will no doubt be in future
years a shining light to the
weary feet of those who are to fol
low.
KINGSTON.
Sunday night Sept. 30 the great
revival meeting closed. Rev. E.
M. Stanton with his gospel tent
has been with us for 1 a days. Rev.
C. A. Jamison the pastor was in
glory and had Rev. J. S. Sullivan
and Rev. Mr. Gaines of the Meth
odist church. Reys. Dyer, Head
and Stansbury of the Baptist
church. Most of the preaching
was done by Rev. E. M. Stanton,
and he preached with power. Rev.
Mr. Allen, Presiding Elder of Dal
ton District preached two very fine
sermons. Mr. W. F. Patch and
wife conducted the singing ; great
interest was manifested, 16 we e

Everybody is rejoicing over the
good meeting and was loth to see
it closed. Our colored friends are
now going on under the old tent
and their meeting bids fair to be a
good one.
Several of our citizens went to
Rome to see the circus today. I
suppose the church members if any
only went to let the children see
the animals.
Cotton is coming in slowly, crop
cut short ; the advance in price is
helping the farmers; one bale is
bringing as much as two last year.
The Indian summer has been fa
vorable for cotton picking and it
will soon be completed and the
farmers wili be ready for sowing
wheat.
Information for the Boy.
The instruction that nursemaids are
able to impart to the greedy young
minds that are given into their charge is
truly fearful and wonderful. Asa
Coney Island boat was passing the Bar
tholdi statue a 5-year-old youngster was
moved to ask the Milesian lady who at
tended him:
“W’ot's that, Jane?”
"That’s Liberty,” quoth Jane.
“W’ot’s Liberty?” he asked again.
“W’y, just Liberty. Don’t you know
w’ot Liberty is?”
‘'W’ot’B Liberty?” he insisted.
“W’y, you goose,” instructed his
teacher, “Liberty is—w’y it’s —Free-
dom. And now you know, don’t you?”
And of course he did. Just wait until
somebody asks him.
There was more of the 6ame kind from
the same source.
“W’ot’s those, Jane?” he asked again,
with significant finger at the life pre
servers overhead.
“Them’s life preservers,” Baid Jane.
“W’ot are they for?”
“They’re for when you fall in the
water and get drowned,” she informed
him, “and when you do they make you
float.”
“After you’re drowned?” asked the
boy.
"Oh, yes. I do wish you'd keep still
and not ask so many questions, you bad
boy.”
But he didn’t.—New York Evening

Where Mr. Curtii LetnMl to Write.
Whatever my style of writing may be,
it is the result of natural selection and
not of special design. The first author
who interested me deeply after “Robin
son Crusoe” and the usual children’s
books of fifty or sixty years ago was
Washington Irving. Then came Walter
Scott and Charles Lamb, Keats, Shelley
and Wordsworth, then Bacon and Emer
son, Burke and Carlyle, Thackeray and
Hawthorne. But rhetoric or composi
tion I have never studied. My long con
iiootiuu with the press has been of the
utmost service to me as a writer. For
many years I have been the chief editor
ial writer upon Harper’s Weekly, a
paper which takes part in political dis
cussion, and the necessity of making my
self intelligible to the rapid reader in a
comparatively short space has been prob
ably the best training I could have had.
Fortunately I have no taste for what
seems to me the frequent extravagance
of newspaper writing, and therefore I
have easily avoided it. Every young
writer should remember that bigness is
not greatness, nor fury force. —George
William Curtis.

Soon after the conscript law was
passed by the Confederate congress
Captain Slack was appointed enrolling
officer for the parish of Claiborne, with
orders to have its provisions duly exe
cuted. His manner of execution was
the reverse of that suggested by his
name and created a lively sensation
among the “bomb proofs.” who. find
ing the pointed arguments of his mus
kets irresistible, moved rapidly and in
a right lino toward the front Not long
afte*" his arrival my sister had occasion
to visit an old lady whose son was no
toriously of the peace persuasion. She
soon missed his familiar presence, and
the following conversation occurred:
“Mrs. . where is John?*’
“Cone to fight for bis country, child.”
“Indeed. I thought he was one of

The Popp'a Official Kina*.
The pope has three special rings
for his use. The first is generally
rather n plain gold one. with an intagl
io or cameo ornament This is called
the papni ring. The second one. called
the pontifical ring, because used only
when the pope pontificates or officiates
ot grand ceremonies, is an exceedingly
precious one. The one worn on these
occasions by Dus IX was made during
the reign of Dus VII, whose name is
cut on the inside. It is of the purest
gold, of remarkably fine workmanship,
set with a very large oblong diamond.
It cost 30.000 francs (£1.250) and has a
■contrivance on the inside by which it
can be made larger or smaller to fit
the wearer’s finger.
The fisherman’s ring, o called be
cause It has a figure of St. Peter in a
bark throwing bis net into the sea. Is a
plain gold ring with an seal face, bear
ing the name of the reigning pope en
graved round and above the figure of
the apostle. The ring weighs
ounces. It was first a private and not
an •official ring, though It has been
used In the latter way since the fif
teenth century and Is now the official
seal of the popes and the first among
the reigns.—Golden Penny.
Clr' Fli-nt BpffrU.
Henry Clay as a young man was ex
tremely bashful, although he possessed
uncommon brightness of Intellect and
fascinating address, without effort
making the little he knew pass for
much more. In the early part of bis
career he settled in Lexington. Va..
where he found the society most con
genial. though the clients seemed some
what recalcitrant to the young lawyer,
lie Joined a debating society at length,
but for several meetings he remained a
silent listener.
One evening, after a lengthy debate,
the subject was being put to a vote,
when Clay was heard to observe softly
to a friend that the matter in question
was by no means exhausted. He was
at once asked to speak and after some
hesitation rose to his feet. Finding
himself thus unexpectedly confronted
by an audience, he was covered with
confusion and began, ns he had fre
quently done in imaginary appeals to
the court. “Gentlemen of the Jury.”
A titter that ran through the au
dience only served to heighten his em
barrassment. and the obnoxious phrase
fell from his lips again. Then he gath
ered himself together and munched in
to a peroration so brilliantly lucid and
impassioned that it carried the house
by storm and laid the cornerstone to
his future greatness, his first case com
ing to him as a result of tills speech,
which some consider the tiuest he ever
made.—Collier’s Weekly.
Odd ldenn of Providence.
The temperance lecturer, John B.
Gough, had occasion in one of his ad
dresses to refer to the Indiscriminate
and arbitrary yet consoling doctrine
of Providence. He said: “Some people
have strange ideas on this matter.
Once when a ship was in danger a lady
went to the captain in great distress.
‘We must trust in Providence, madam,’
said he. ‘Goodness gracious, is it as
bad as that?’ she cried.
“A washerwoman had her little shan
ty burned down. She stood before the
wreck and. lifting her eyes to heaven
and shaking her fist, exclaimed, ’You
see if I don’t work on Sundays to pay
for that”
“In the firth of Forth a vessel struck
on a rock, and a tug was drawing nigh
to the rescue. A boy. much alarmed,
was clinging to his mother. She said,
‘Ye must pit yer trust in Providence,
Jamie.’ ‘1 will, rnither, as soon as I
get into that Ither boat.’
“In New York a Dutchman with a
companion went Into Delmonico’s to
get lunch. They were charged $6. One
of the men began to swear, as he
thought the charges excessive. ‘Don’t
you swear.’ said the other. ‘Providence
has punished that man Delmonico very
bad already.’ ’How is that? How has
he punished himV ‘Why, Pve got my
pockets full of his forks and spoons.’ ’’

Here is a curious extract from the
court regulations of the Ilofburg for
the year 1(524 on the etiquette to be ob
served by officers when invited to the
royal talfle. The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave un
der such circumstances “with great po
liteness and good breeding, like true
and worthy cavaliers.” but that the
emperor thinks it necessary to issue
the following directions for the use of
Inexperienced cadets:
“1. Officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room In a half drunken state.
“2. When they are at table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
“3. They should not drink after each
mouthful, as by so doing they will very
soou get drunk, nor drink more than
half a glass ut a time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachios.
“4. They should not put their hands
in the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
“5. They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall off
their chairs.”
Til For Tat.
A celebrated but very vain and over
bearing French painter in Paris had a
pet dog that was taken ill, and he had
the audacity to send for one of the
leading physicians in the capital, on
the assumption that a veterinary sur
geon was not good enough for the val
uable dog of so great a personage as
himself.
The physician who had been honored
with the summons was at first petri
fied at the impertinence of the uotiou.
but soon recovered his equanimity and
returned the following message to the
knight of the brush:
“Would M. M be good enough to
step over to my house, an 1 have a
eonple of new window shatters that

“Vanity, vanity, all is vanity!” salth
the preacher. YY liich is usually inter
preted to mean, “All women are vani
ty.” In point of fact, the observant
are agreed that there Is no sex in vani
ty, more than in mind. An elevator at
tendant not long ago glanced disgust
edly at a man who during a long trip
up ten or more stories occupied the en
tire time at the mirror. He curled the
ends of his mustache, arranged his tie.
adjusted his hat at a more becoming
angle and was altogether so absorbed
that he was carried beyond his destina
tion and had to walk down a flight of
stairs.
Said the elevator man to a womar la
the car: “They say that a woman can’t
go by a looking glass without looking
at herself, but as far as I can see she
ain’t in it with the men. A woman
never gets a chance to look In that
glass, for the men keep it busy all the
time.”
The man who carries a tiny comb or
brush in his pocket for use in public
places is by no means exceptional. He
may be seen on the cable cars, the ”L’’
and in elevators brushing his mustache
and eyebrows with as much care as a
woman could give to the arrangement
of her curly front locks blown Into dis
order by the wind. Of course neatness
is commendable, but there is always a
touch of the ludicrous In a man’s tak
ing the little ease from his pocket ex
tracting the comb and coaxing his hir
sute adornments into a more becoming
curve.—New York Tribune.
The Yawi,
On the west coast of Africa the na
tives call the raspberry a yaw. It hap
pens that one of the pleasing diseases
that come out from that quarter of the
globe is characterized by dusky red
spots that appear on the body and soon
grow into ulcers about the size and
looks of the raspberry. So this disease
is called the yaws. It is contagious
and downright disagreeable. White
sailors bring It back with them to their
own discomfort and the disgust of
those at home. Yaws prevails also in
the Fiji islands and In Samoa, but in
these two places children mainly are
attacked, and the natives regard the
disease in the same light as civilized
persons look at measles—akuost a cer
tainty to have and the sooner over
with the better.

The advancing price of cotton makes it wise to hold for the highest price which
wMI be reached. A tew days may mean several dollars per bale, and the short
crop makes it necessary to secure every cent which it will bring.
Our facilities for storing are unexcelled, and charges the lowest. You caa hold
it until the market suits you and sell at any time.
Here is a quotation from our circular of last year:
NY e believe tiiat cotton has reached its lowest point, and as a great part of the
cotton oorried over is a very low grade, and reports of growing crop indicates a
smaller production than the crops ot 1867-Band 1&°8-P, together with the unusually
large consumption throughout the world, we have jusc reason for anticipating a
