Misses Lula, Pearl and Ira Webb, wanted to take in singing at Mt. Carmel, yesterday, but failed. 1 won't «ay what was the matter, but I expect some vf the boys was what was the matter. Miss PGffI WebB says she would be afraid to assume the non de plume that “Sarge” has for fear that she might be prosecuted by its frightful owner and warns her friend to beware of the Con- at it ut ion folks, as they arc mighty queer; dt at least acted so with some of the Sa- vgQ0|k j a pa p e rs not long since.

The farmers fodder and never before have they gath- ered such a crop with as small expense as they have this year, for it is very true a ‘ short horse is soon curried. 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 condition, and it’s an enterprise of much benefit to our community. They also own iu connection with their gin a very good grist mill and which is very con¬ venient, lor the people can carry their earn and cotton at one trip and save the expense of one. Mr. Jonn Butts, of Thomaston, was in our midst a few days ago, Mr. Butts is one of Upson county’s best farmers, and has lately iuvented a cotton chopper. Mr. Butts says his chopper will require one hand and two mules, and will save the labor of eight hands. We wish to see such machine work to perfection, deal. as it would save the farmers a great But the best aud only way, I believe, to chop cotton is the old way—cuff and hoe.

Little Clarence Marsham is also very sick with fever. May be soon be able io join his playmates at school, where his absence is felt. Miss Gussie Lesner’s school is grow¬ ing beautifully less as all the children have to look after the fleecy staple, which is opening rapidly. Doctor Smith is lying critically ill, has been sick tor seven days and con¬ tinues to grow worse, May he soon be restored to his former self, His loss is great in our neighborhood. 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.

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.

Very truly, yours, A Sunday School Teacher-.. TAYLOR TIDINGS- 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. Jim Dandy. GOSHEN VALLEY NEWS. The farmers are all busy picking cot¬ ton. Mr. C. E.
