lidßtaSßffaay a week ago near
Me,Mows, Ga., Appling county, a
queer coincidence oecured which
should not be lightly pitched into the
rubbish pile of Fate's decrees.
At or near Meadows there lives a
family of Turners, consisting of three
sisters and a little girl, the daughter
of one of the three. On the day above
mentioned one of them was in the
field looking over the farm of which
they are proprietors, and for lack of
rain the crop was suffering and its
prospects were gloomy. This fact
seemed ! ) fret the young woman -and

over the situation by denouncing God
in blasphemous terms f or His seem

iitte in the afternoon and abour dusk
a cloud arose and there came up a
thunder-storm. The three sisters and
little girl had assembled cn the piaz

tiny thought would he to them a gra

flash, a heavy clap broke the silence,
only to settle a deeper pall over'
the household; for the cursing sister
lay on the floor a corpse, the other
two sister shocked to senselessness, tire
little girl critically injured
When the two sistrrs were suffici"
eiontly recovered they summoned

A NEWSPAPER HELPS,
4 he effort of any newspaper to build
up a town is practically. nullified un
ess it is backed up by the business
men. A stranger turns from the news
cohims of a piper to its advertising
pages, and if he fails to find there the
business cards of the merchants and
profess onal firms, he comes to the
conclusion that the publisher is not
app-cciated, in which case it is a good
place for him to keep clea” of. No
town e-er grew without the active as
sistance of its newspaper. Nor can
papers grow nn 1 build up their locali
ties without the assistance of a town.
: Business moil should realize this and
lemetnber in giving support to
the newspapers they are
| not only builduig up their own busi
! ness, but helping to support that
which is stealily working for the
I growth of the whole town, —Franklin
