ABOUT THE COUNTY.
Berrien county farmers have en
joyed the refreshing summer showers
of the past week, and their furrowed
brows have been changed into smil
ing faces. Crops have been greatly
benefited.

The accident which befell little
Hugh, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs
VV. E. Greene, of Sparks, is the sad
dest the Gazette has ever been
nailed upon to chronicle. It seems
that Mr. J. 'L Elliott hud hitched

carried u number of little children —
Hugh being one—to ride. The ride
concluded, the vehicle was stopped

The church at Tifton was de

of the finest buildings among the
Baptist churches of wire-grass Geor

for $3000 but was in debt $2000
which leaves a email margin for re
building. This is n painful loss not
only to the Tifton brethren but to
our entire section.—Baptist Watch

Tifton is making big preparations
