THE SUN, Established 1877 THE OLD REUDBLE fiR POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE CONCORD CULLING*. Concord, Ga., .uaroi 4.—The wheat nnd oats here were not materially damaged by the late cold wave, ami they are looking green again and grow ing nicely. There was no serious damage done by the storm, which passed through here Friday night. The heavy fain which followed it did muelj damage to the land by washing it away. The storin' caused much uneasiness among the people, it being on the same date and night of February that the cyclone passed ttirough just west of here, near I’edenville. Inst year. Many people went into their storm pits, and some who had no pit went to their neighbors and went in with them. We heard of twenty-one perlons being in one pit. Some stayed in their pits nearly all night, while others sat up nnd watched tiie clouds. It appears to nm that the so-called first lynching in Georgia was neither a lynching nor a legal execution, but simply a mutual agreement with the p ople after the negro hud made a full confession of his hellish crime, to burn him at the stake, and ns tlie day was set and made publicly known before the. execution, it could ndt be termed a lynching, and as there was no law for punishing a criminal liy burning at she stake, it could not have been a legal act. I give tlie aliove as my-opinion as a compromise between my comrades in \ the matter. Col. J. B. Madden, one of our most zealous workers in the Sunday school here, attended the Sunday school as sociation at Macon last week. He re ports a very interesting meeting and a good time. It is reported that William Franklin and two of his daughters, ot Hollon vilie, have the smallpox.

Miss Kate Bowers and another one of Mrs. Pope’s little boys broke out with tlie measles last week. They are the only ones who were exposed, and it is hoped that there will not be any more, cases here. The time is about out for the others who were exposed to take them. Miss Theo Milligan, of Griffin, came down and spent several days with friends here last week. I’he farmers around here are losing no time in hauling out guano and rations, while the ground is too wet to plow. And notwithstanding the short crop of last year, they seem to be in the best of spirits. Well, they ought to be, because everything which they should raise, is bringing such fair prices. Mr. Biid. of Waverly Hall, bas recently moved in and opened up a shoe shop, which supplies the place of W. J. Weaver, the famous shoe maker, who is now at LaGrange We welcome you,Mr. Bird, in our midst,and wish for yon much success in your trade here. The work on tlie streets is going on during the wet weather, under tlie supervision of F. K.
