STANDING ROCK. FRAGMENTS
Standing Rock, Ga., July I.—We 1
have two preaching days every month, ]
Rev. Hodnetton the first Sunday and
Rev. Tarpley on the second. We also ,
have a flourishing Sunday school with .
large attendance.
The Sacred Harp singing here last
Sunday was a success in every way and *
enjoyed by all who attended.
We had two good showers of rain I
Saturday and Sunday and everything '
looks fresh, although cotton and corn is
small for the time of year. If cofton ,
doesn’t bring ten cents this fall it won’t
be because the farmers don’t need it.
From the appearance now through the
country we don’t think there will be a
large crop made this year. But the way
it goes the cotton speculators keep the
price of cotton down while the poor
farmer has it in his bauds, but when the
spring of tue next yehr comes they let
it go up. What for? To increase the
aei eage the coming year. As long as
farmers pay fifteen cents a pound for
meat, $1 a bushel for corn on tine and
raise cotton at five and six cents they
will never inherit anything but a hard
living as long as they live.
We are sorry to note the illness of
Miss Laola Addy.
Mrs. J. R. Arnold, of Tippellville, is
visiting friends and relatives here and
reports crops fine in South Georgia.

C itarrh of the Stomach
When the stomach is overloaded,
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands
to secret mucin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
For years I suffered with Catarrh
