It weighed 36j pounds, for which he will please accept our many thanks. Thomson in Ashes, The entire business portion of Thom¬ son was destroyed by fire last Friday morning about 4 o’clock. The lire originated in an old store-house that was vacated some tune ago. The origin was somewhat mysterious. Fifteen or sixteen houses melted in the flames, which was a great loss to a place of that size. The entire loss is estimated at §50,000, with about §17, 000. We sympathize with our neigh¬ bors in their misfortune. The Crop. In last Sunday’s Chronicle, the en¬ terprising house of Pope and Ffieming cotton factois, had published a table of the presen t standing of the catton crop in 19 counties in this section of Georgia. The outlook from this state¬ ment was about 75 per cent of an av erage. We hear farmers co mplainiug about the crops being so very sorry, and yet the stalk looks as large as we ever saw it at this time of year; and some say it is about as well fruited as usual accordiug to the size of the stalk. The late rain was the salvation of mid¬ dle Georgia. The upland corn is good. Breaking tile Contract Mr. Johnson, who lives just oyer the line in Warren county, hired Bill McElroy, col., his wife and hoy, and there was a written contract drawn up between them. Bill worked a while and quit with the consent of both sides, and not satisfied with that, last week he made his wife and boy leave Mr. Johnson. Monday the whole party was in town, and had a big court over it Tuesday. The verdict was in favor of Bill. It is useless to make a contract with the ebony faced gentry these days because he can break it when h%$eases. Can’t onr legislature "make some binefing provision IbT OTi,ir cases, Pi’otracted Mccntlng, A series of meetings was began at our Baptist church on Friday last and have been continued up to the present writing. The audiences which have attended day and night have been favored by a succesion of sermons from Rev. Dr. J. II. Kilpatrick, of White Plains, characterized by strong, earnest eloquence. A profound ini presion has been produced on the church and congregation. Dr. Kil¬ patrick leaves to-day, but the meetings will be continued by the Pastor until Sunday night, and longer if circum¬ stances seem to authorize it. We hope before they close a deop religious influence will have extended through¬ out the whole community. The Centennial at Bethany. Bethany church is located about 11 miles from Greenesboro and 6 from Uhion Point. This little church will, within a few weeks, be tbe scene of events which will be famous years to come in the history of religion in Geoi gia. Upon this same hill,more than a century ago,the first religious service was held,and the nucleus of a Presbyte rian church was made,which now cor taius the largest congregation in Greene county. In addition to the centennial services,the Augusta Pres¬ bytery will hold its session. After the regular transaction of busi¬ ness, Dr. Woodrow’s famous evolution theory will come up before that body. The religious services will be particu¬ larly interesting. Many eminent preachers from all parts of the south will be present, who will discourse on various subjects. On Sunday August 15th, Rev. T. DeWit Talmage will deliver a sermon. Dr. Talmage has been to Bethany before—his uncle having been pastor of the church in its infancy. His presence will of course, draw a large concourse of people. Preparations for this meeting are go ing on at present. An immense arbor will be constructed, capable of seating several thousands. Let all try and at tend.

A Horrid Heath About one year ago when Mr. Mar¬ shal Sherley was en route to Atlanta, ho was attacked on the street at night in Norwood by a ferocius dog that seemed intent on tearing him up. Mr, Sherley fought tho dog with his satchel until the handle broke and ho fell. The enraged brute then pounced upon him, biting him in several places, lacerating his hand in a fearful man'— ner. He had the wounds properlv dressed and resumed his journey to At¬ lanta ;but in a few days became alarm¬ ed lest the dog should have been mad. lie communicateb with Mrs, Gibson a lady in Columbia County who is in possession of a mad stone, but when the stono was applied it would not stick. Near a year qad elapsed from time of the biting before Mr. Sherley, in the pride and strength, of vigorous manhood, fell a victim of hydrophobia; tuis as my readers know means a fear of water. A few days ago Lis arm be¬ gan to pain him and ho began to shijd- f\ der at the sight of water, having '• vulsious wheb. it was brought i( noise - light seemed to euectlnm. Ilia k .», L cians did all in their power to rel Jb his sufferings. He lingered only a days in great agony and this strbng man passed away from the presence of hja loving family, and sorrowing friends, all from the bite of a trifling cur.—McDuffie Journal. A gentleman who had been afli ctrd with piles for years and vainly sought re¬ lief in many lands, was told by a frielid that Tabier’s Buckeye Pile Ointment was a certain enre for that disease.

Rhodes and two other jovial companions from the vicinity of Mildrajon, we recently made a Hying trip to the thriving town of Warren ton. It was indeed recreating after a prolonged and heated contest with,the great enemy to cotton; to suspend hos talities for a pleasant drive along good roads, viewing the large fields- for which Warren county is famous, teem¬ ing with growing coops of cotton, and corn already made. We went the road leading by Dr. Pilcher’s, and came back another route, thereby giving ourselves a good opportunity of seeing tbe condition of the crop. JThile we saw some fields of fine cotton, notably one belonging to Dr. Hall on the Norwood road. Taken as a whole the crop is not prom ising, and were we a reporter, we would rate it at about 70. On the contrary corn is One, ar.d as already stated, the crop assured; and it was gratifying to observe that the area in corn largely exceeds the acreage of cotton. We arrived at Warrenton about 8 o’clock. After a fow hours’ lest in the meantime noting the city-like ap¬ pearance of the town and the progres¬ sive spirit of its enterprising citizens, we returned homeward, proceeding by Norwood. Arriving at the latter p * ace ’ we n * ar ^ e crowf * assem¬ bled there attending a Sunday School convention. But we were too late to participate in the most enjoyable part of the programme-a good dinner much to the regret of Co! Rhodes. A few hours , drive from Norwood enjoying the many jokes made eIter — -•» little party, we arrived at home, ing enjoyed to the fullest extent the brief recr at ion of the d ty. A ’’ CCS.

It ia evident that when a man is go ing to run for an office that he must lie before the people and keep before them in every iiossible way to be suc¬ cessful.

That might have just been his luck but he got there ali-ee sam-ee.
