can by a 25-cent advertisemant in

The Henry County Weekly has the

typos consists of Scipio Speer, who is
a fifteen year old boy. He can jerk
a knot in three columns of solid bour¬
geois, and never stop to expectorate
on his palms. And notwithstanding
the small force the Weekly has a cir¬
culation of one thousand good sub¬

Death of Mrs. Connell.
On Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock
Mrs. T. H. Connell, an aged and most
estimable lady ofthis county, breath¬
ed her last and was buried in this
city yesterday. She was the wife of
Jndge T. H. Connell, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of this
connty, and who resides at Ringgold
Lodge, seven mike from here, also
the mother of Mrs. C. W. Slaton and
Sheriff R. S. Connell of this city. She
was about 73 years of age and had
been married about 53 years. She
leaves a large family and many
friends to mourn her death. The
family have the deepest sympathy of
the entire continuity in their afflic¬
tion. There is a strange similarity
in a chain of the most notable events
in the lives of this lady and Mrs.
John Stilwell, whose death occurred
two days before. They were both
born in the same year, married
the same' year and died with¬
in two days of each other. Each had
seven daughters and one son and
have onfe daughter dead. Mr. Con¬
nell and Mr. Stilwell were also bom
in tile same year.__

The following bulletin, shorting the
damage of the warm weather to
meat, and the effect of the late cold
spell on oats'and fruit, has been is¬
sued: On March 4 the Department
of Agricaltnre sent to its correspond¬
ents throughout the State requests
to furnish the amount of damage
done by the late cold snap to oats,
wheat, peaches, pears, apples and
small fruit, and the damage by the
warm winter to meat. A cartful

The greatest damage to fruit seems
to be in the southwestern portion of
the State, which yields usually the
most abundant crops. All disasters
at first blush are usually magnified,
but the high character of the gentle¬
men by whom the department is fur¬
nished with information leaves no
room for donbt that small grain,
fruits, early vegetables and meats
have been injured fully the amounts
reported.
It is not too late to sow oats in
North Georgia. Indeed, in some
counties in that section, bat few
farmers had finished sowing. In
other Sections the oat question is a
more serious one to tbe people. We
repeat what we have often urged—
the importance of planting peas.
The loss of one third of the oat crop
is of course serious, but if the farm¬
ers will plant peas on the ground on
which the oats have been killed the
loss of the oats may result in a bene¬
fit to tbe land and it owners, in a fine
food for stock and a superior fertili¬
zer for the soil. We beg the farmers
to plant in them every spare acre of
land. Respectfully,
Jno. T. Henderson, Comm’r.
The Alliance Wanta Primaries.
At a meeting of the executive com¬
mittee Hon. L. F. Livingston, presi-
of the State Farmers’ Alliance, con -
curring, in Atlanta on Thursday, the
following preamble and resolution
was passed:
Whereas, We deem it advisable to
afford the people an ample opportu¬
nity give to consider them facilities men and measures,
and for a full and
free expression of their preferences,
and thia, at such' time as will in tbe
least interfere with the duties of the
farm; therefore
Resolved, That we most respect¬
fully of request the the executive political cqmmit- parties
tee in respective
that Georgia to order or recommend
nominations be made by pri¬
maries in all the counties, where
nominations are to be had, and tbe
same extend to militia districts in the
counties, and the day fixed for the
nominations of members of both
State officers and congressmen, be
deferred to the latest possible day,
not sooner than the first of August.
