Patters- >n and W. A Hull of the old members are out. Mr. Jerry Willis is running as the farmers’ candidate and now Messrs. Tracy, Barter and John T. Boifeullet have announced themselves. Mr. J. L. Hammett, our popular saW- mill man has decided to locate perman¬ ently in Knoxville. He has bought the handsome residence from B. H. Ray, where Haity, the sheriff now’ lives. To both church and society Mr. Hammett’s family is quite an acquisition in any town or community, and we welcome them among 1 us. Boliver ay has done more toward building up our town in the last four years than any of its citizens. Crawford county has always given him a large patrouage, and, unlike other merchants, instead of investing his money in cities of another county, he has brought it back from whence it came, and added to the wealth and taxable property of Crawford county. More than that, he has established Ma¬ con’s market in Knoxville, under the management of our own J. W. Jack, and is doing an extensive business here. Sunday School Work. On last Sabbath morning the writer, in company with Rev. A. P. Spillers, set out on a Sunday school tour. In the morning we visited Franklin school, when we arrived the exercises were in progress, Mathews although their superintendent, T. F. was absent on account of serious illness. There was a large at¬ tendance of bright and earnest faces. We each consented to hear a class, and after the recitations were over, we gave them a Sabbath school talk in the most earnest and faithful manner that we knew how. We took dinner with Mr. B. J. Becham and after spending several pleasant hours, there left for our appointment at Union Academy just beyond *Johu little C. Hancock’s place, where a nice con¬ gregation had assembled for the purpose of organizing a Sabbath school. Brother Spillers called the meeting to’order, and conducted religious exercises. After de¬ livering an earnest and valuable address, we organized with a membership of fif¬ ty-five. Then elected Brother W. J. Burnett Superintendent, humble and S. scribe B. Cau¬ de¬ sey Secretary. Your livered a feeble lecture in the most faith¬ ful manner that he was capable -of. Those people are in earnest, and w’e dare say that in a very short time this will be the banner school in the county. They have a fine territory and plenty of mate¬ rial. The “harvest truly is plentious and the laborers are few,” and the cry there is: “Come over and help us.” We delight to welcome this bright school as a member of our “county asso¬ ciation,” and will do all in our power to aid and encourage it. WALKER CHAPEL DOTS. If nobody has any objections, I will write a few dots for our nice little pa¬ per. Master Eddie Byrd has been very sick, but we are so glad to say he is now able to start to school again. He is a good and industrious little fellow. Mr. II. C. Bowers yvas in the Central City hist Monday on business. There was preaching at Walker’s Chapel on the third Sabbath by Rev. A. P. Spillers. A very large crowd present. Mr. Ray Joyner, and Mr. A. J. Barnes, from Society Hill, were in our communi¬ ty Saturday and Sunday. Mr. John Henry Jossey, a real hand¬ some young man of Forsyth, is visiting relatives near here, but I am so sorry to say he will leave for home this morning, and I am afraid he will leave some of the girls with red eyes, too. Miss Fannie Scarbrough has returned home after a long visit to relatives near Forsyth. Miss Belle Bowers has returned from her visit to Houston. She reports having a nice time, as the parties are still in vogue down there. Master Jimmie Bowers is attending school in Taylor county. He says they hive a fine school of seventy-five or eighty pupils. Miss Minnie Avera, of Clarksville,paid her friends, Misses Belle and Hattie Bow¬ ers, a visit last Saturday, also Miss Alice Rigdon, of Elem church, and I think also Mr. Charlie Bank ton was present. Miss Kate Knight is visiting Miss Car¬ rie Bowman. Miss Carrie has been very sick. Jimmie Bowers and his brother Johny were out hunting last Saturday week and came very near getting bitten twice by a rattlesnake. It struck Jimmie on the leg and was coiled for the third attempt when he shot it. It measured four feet and four inches in ienght, aud bad eleven rattles and one button. Mr. Cnarlie Bankston says he doesn’t love chickens because they are so mean to keep out of the garden, and does de¬ spise an oid goose because they wake him Mr. John Morgan's mule ran away last Sunday morning as he w;-s on his way to church. No one seriously hurt, but Mrs. Morgan ua3 badly frightened. Miss Hattie Bowers will visit her sis¬ ters and brothers in Houston soon. We hope to see Margril out again, We en¬ joy his witiy letters. Sarge. Mnsings From McEimurray’s Mills, The conundrum now is, who is the law¬ yer, who the miller and who the doctor, Billie Burnett killed a rattlesnake with thirteen rattles and two buttons. Says he can prove it by Ed Hancock and Jim Smith. We have a nice Sunday-school now at Union academy, W J. Burnett, superin- tendent, and S. B. Causey, secretary. We have 55 scholars and expect more. Mrs. Bartlett died a few d*ys ago. Her daughter. Miss Missouri, who has been quite sick, is no better. The Macon and Birmingham railroad is about to build section houses near Bethel church. Our nearest depot wdll be on Roger Hart’s land. A new road will be opened through it. There is a big revival going on at Dickson’s church. Bro. Allison is mak¬ ing things hum, and is stirring things up generally. The general meeting at Mount Paran church will commence next Friday, em¬ bracing the fifth Sunday. The fame of your excellent teacher, Prof. Power, has reached us, and it is rumored that S. B. Causey and W. K. Eubanks will both move to Knoxville next year to get the benefit of his in¬ struction for their children. Bob Strozier will have singing at Bethel Friday and Saturday. The celebrated stump speaker of the Warrior district has subsided till the next election. Rube Tidwell is no better. Cotton-picking is all the go, but will soon be over. Si Saac. ROBLEY NEWS. Miss Lela Webb visited friends in ouu community, much to the delight of her friends here. There is an interesting meeting in progress at Elam Church, near here, and we earnestly trust there may result much good from these meetings. Some of our friends thiuk the neglected, foreign mission work is very seriously but we differ somewhat with them. We think there is a better field for W’ork at home, and we must stay home. Work has been neglected too much for foreign work in our judgment. We have just learned that our friend, Jas. C. Respess, of Swifton, was killed in a difficulty at Savannah yesterday, and will be buried at his home to-day. He had recently been appointed Central to a Railroad respon¬ sible position on the with headquarters at Savannah. We are requested t> say that Miss Flor¬ ence Hancock, of Lexington, Ky.; Miss Mattie Smith, of Dallas. Texas, and Misses Alvah Adams and Eleanor Worrill, of Thomaston, will be with Misses Anna and Josie Finlor, and will be on hand at the singing next Sunday at Mt. Carmel. There will be a very large crowd out at the singing, as all the cousins, nieces and nephews say they are coming. Sol. A Telegraph-Pole Bore.

Six months ago, at the request of a friend who was interested in the sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, I made a writ¬ ten statement of the benefits I had re- ceived from the use of that medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of catarrh, Within the last two months I have re- ceived letters from every quarter of the nation calling on me for further informa¬ tion in regard to my health. It has been impossible for me to write privately to each person who has made this request, and I am therefore under the necessity of making another public statement. I am free from catarrh. I believe that I could get a certificate to this effect from any competent physician. I have used 110 medicine within the last six months except King’s Royal Germetuer. lily health is better than it has been in thirty years. I am in possession of information which warrants me ir saying that the re¬ lief which I have experienced from the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hundreds of persons in Geor¬ and other States. I feel it to be my duty to say, also, the effects of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal and wonder¬ ful. She has been almost a life-long in¬ valid from Nervous Headache, Neuralgia and Rheumatism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day’s exemp¬ tion from pain. She has been using Ger- meteur about two months. A more com¬ plete transformation I have never wit¬ nessed. Every symptom of disease has disappeared. She appears to be tw'enty years younger, and is as happy and play¬ ful as a healthy child. We have persua¬ ded many of our friends to take the med¬ icine, and the testimony of all of them is that it is a great remedy. J. B. Hawtiiohne.

The children of the Wabanaki Indians of Northern Maine have a “counting out” system very similar to that of white children. The “ inty, minty, cuty, brier, corn, apple-seed, and apple-thorn, w’ire, limber, lock, O—U—T, spells Out,” and other familiar nonsense rhymes of Amer¬ the ican games have their counterpart in Wabanaki “ Ilony, kec-bcc, la-weiss, ag- les, Hun-tip hun-tip.” the fateful word. Each is child puts out two fingers of each hand, and one child who has a hand free repeats the words, pointing to the fingers. Ev¬ ery finger that hun-tip falls on is doubled under, until only three are left. The owners of these three fingers start to run and the one who is caught is squnw-oc- t'mocs. In a publication of the Royal Society of Canada, Mrs. W. W. Brown describes the game in which squaw-oc-t’moos the figures. One little Wabanaki is mother. Her children, ten or twelve in number, form in line back of her, each holding the one in front by the dress be¬ tween the shoulders. Squaw-oc-t’moos cries, “ Bo-wad-man Wa-ses-uk,” (I w r ant babies,) and tries to catch one of the children. The mother endeavors to protect them by keeping squaw-oc-t’moos in front of her. This causes the end of the line to move very swiftly; just as the outer end of a wheel spoke has to move quickly enough to make a much greater circle than is made by the end near the hub. As the excitement increases the children ] 0 se their balance and go tumbling to the ground, scrambling to get out of the way of the terrible squaw-oc-t’moos.— [Youth's Companion, GOT IT ALL IN*.

Dotted muslin, percale aud linen are used in negligee at¬ tire. Illuminated nets are all the rage. The square-mashed Greek net, ribbon-striped or with chenille dots, is most fashion¬ able. Miss Mary Sharp, a Brooklyn (N. Y.) school-teacher, has just returned from an exploring expedition in the wilds of Africa.

Bad teeth, short sight aud round shoulders are the increasing faults. A West Virginia girl wanted a gold watch. She had no money, but she trapped musk-rats enough to raise an amount sufficient to gratify her desire. The leather belts which are worn with outing dresses are many of them of plaited leather in two shades. They are fitted with pockets for purse, watch, etc. It is no longer the thing for a low- necked dress to he sleeveless, but the sleeves are slashed in such a way as tc effectively display the prettiest part of the arm. Tiny jet bonnets with delicate lace trimmings are very popular in Paris. A late novelty in large feather trimmed hats is a soft, fluffy feather ruche inside the brim.
