county was nominated for the Senate in
the 25tli district last week. The Judge

dorsed Gordon for U. S. Semite.
Cotton seed are not iu such demand
this season us they were last. The reason
is that congress has just passed a bill

the Illinois and Ohio hog men. Every

posed the bill.
A great uiasi meeting of the Alliances
of Putnam, Jasper and Morgan counties
was held in Putnam county last week

We have one of the best Christians . in .
the county—Dr. J. N. Smith. He is ai-
ways ready to attend a sick person at any
time, and is a good farmer, too, and one
of the liveliest men of our county.
Cotton is opening at a rapid rate, and
the farmers are busy picking aud carry¬
ing to market in order to get a good
price. It is a very difficult matter to get
bagging and ties sufficient to cover the
first cotton and it is causing a delay in
the marketing of the early picking.
Hilsman an 1 Fincher have their new
ginnery in operation, and they have one
of the largest ginneries in the county.
They have purchased a thirty-five horse
power engine aud have it in fine running

benefit to our community. They also

Mr. Jonn Butts, of Thomaston, was in

one of Upson county’s best farmers, and

the labor of eight hands. We wish to
see such machine work to perfection, deal. as
it would save the farmers a great

Old Elam church has been graciously
revived in the last week. During the
series of meetings there has been seven
accessions to the church. The membets
are all m working order, and I teL you
the ladu-sdo not hesitate tc speak up for
Christ, and the Lord has been gracious
to them. There is great manifestation.
Some of the hard hearted sinners have
been made to feel the need of Chr'st,
and me thinks they have been made to
enquire: “What will I do with this man
called Jesus?” and maybe have been
caused to ask themselves: “What wiII
Jesus do with me?” I have visited Old
Elam fora long time, but never saw as
much feeling existing there before. The
members have all made peace one with
another, and the worthy onc9 «»n see
and feel that its good to be there. The
meeting has been going on eleven days
and continue for a week longer.
A Reply.
I see an article signed E. P. McR. from
Clark’s Mill, saying that Lodge No. 269
was the only one in Crawford county that
had taken stock in the exchange. Brother
E. P. McK., you ought not to deceive
the outsiders by such talk. You cer-
tainly don’t know what you are writing
about, as to my certain knowledge r“ sev-
enty-six sub-AHiances in this county are
represented in the exchange, and possi¬
bly all of the sub-Alliances. You must
post v J yourself, then give advice.

The Herald is now the most popular
paper taken here.
The population of our neghborhood is
rapidly increasing.
A tenant house belonging to cimmi*
sioncr Champion, was accidently burned
last week.
It is thought that Fayette or John will
move next year, as they cannot stay so
far a part long.
“Big Jim” is still flourishing, and if
he can’t knock a man down with a stick
he can bring him with his fist.
Dr, Gostio, from Reynolds, has ni ivetf
in our neighboihood recently. He is re¬
ceiving much encouragement and is get¬
ting a tine practice.
The protracted wet weather has caused
rust in our cotton. Indeed it is so badly
affected that not more than two-thirds of
a crop can now be possibly made.
Charley Arnold has a busty young mao-
who will reside with him in the future,
and Albert Mathews had a handsomer
young lady to visit him last week. She
will remain with him for some time.
We have not yet learned her name.
Jim Dorsey and Frank Baifield on re¬
turning from Macon last week and feel¬
ing particularly happy, while crossing
Echeconnee creek, fell through and got
damaged up considerably. The mule
was also hurt, but worst of all they lost
their--bimrnons’ Liver regulator. There
is some talk of their sueiDg the county.
There will be a big Sunday-school
celebration at Westley Chappei Church
on first Sunday in September, Every-
body are invited to attend, We have
the champion school in the county, and
expect to make the celebration a success.
There are about 140 scholars and then
Frank Barfield and Lonny Taylor, each
count for a half dozen.
