The boys of this place have organized a ball team of home material and have commenced to practice some. They propose to challenge and play the similar teams of the neighboring towns, beginning with White Plains, we believe, to-morrow. I.lco Plentiful. There is considerable com¬ plaint of lice on cotton. Mr. T. O. Gunn reports that when the lice are found on the stalk they seem to cause the cot¬ ton to stop growing, We do not look for this pest to materially injure the crop to any great extent if we have plenty of warm weather. A Fortune Lost. There have been bushels and bushels of blackberries gone to waste in this part of the country. If they had been picked and can¬ ned the product would be as val¬ uable as a gold mine. There are many such things allowed to rot within our midst for want of a small canning factory. These little leaks drop a great deal of money for us in the course of a few years. Filied 830.00. Our town council held a special session Tuesday morning and had up two colored belligerents of the feminine gender. Sarah Chester had been pounding one women named Liza Holden and the evidence was such that Sa¬ rah was fined $20 or 40 days’ work on the streets. She paid her fine, but was taught a lesson that our city fathers propose to keep order within their limits. One of the Latest. Rev. Green, a colored Baptist preacher, was giving entertain¬ ments here this week and among his new selections of songs he used the, folio win g; % v Lord is this Heavau? Xord, Lord, I’ve done got home at last. Set down, Elder, set down! Lord, Lord God, I can’t set down. This is Heavan! I done got home at last? Mama, is you got to glory at last? Lord, Lord God, I can’t set down. To Advertise Our Section. The people of Crawfordville and this section are being urged to get up an exhibit of products for sending to the North and East and to the fairs of that sec¬ tion, through the Southern Inter State Immigration and Industri al Association of Pinebluff, N. C. Cash spent in the way of adver¬ tising matter and special editions of the county papers describing our advantages would bring in good returns. Early Melons. Sam Gunn, one of our prosper ous yo.ung farmers, who lives down to-wards Barnett, reported the first ripe watermelon of the season in this county last Satur¬ day. This is quite early. C. J. Park, of Greene carried his first a 20 pounder, to the Greenesboro Herald-Journal last week, and the Sparta Ishmaelite says that a ^”1^ Thursdly^aU country ra - se( j This is very early, real w, ^ wo W eeks earlier than melons usually usua u v gei ee t npe ripe in this part of the country. p a i n t it 1 P P A . who . paints . , up , his . dwel- . , man ^ n g an q the other houses around his p remises is doing well for himsel f family,and the town. It looks better f or himself, makes t he houses last longer for his heirs and is a great recommen dation for his town to all who pa ss and come. There has been much painting done here and there are many more houses that need painting. Hope sorm to see the Hotel, Holden & Cos., store and the Alliance Store all painted up nicely. It would add much to the town s apx^arance. “IN THE INTEREST OF ALL THE PEOPLE.” CRAWFORDV 1 LLE, GA., JUNE 26 , 1896 . THE COUNTY NEWS.

Mr. Humphrey lias one of the finest cane patches we have seen Mrs. Amanda Rhodes is im proving after much suffering with asthma. Farmers are getting along splendidly and have the bright¬ est prospects for a good crop they have had in years. If it required an annual outlay of $100.00 to insure a family against attack any serious consequences from an o( bowel complaint during the itlheir year there are many who would feel duly to pay it; that they could not af¬ ford to risk their lives, and those of their family tor such an amount.

The excursion to Atlanta Mon¬ day was the best ydt run by Gapts. Tuggle & Hollingsworth. The biggest trouble on board was the scarcity of cars and that was because the crowd was much larger than the manage¬ ment expected. About 800 peo¬ ple were carried into Atlanta, and it was the most orderly crowd we ever saw to be jammed up like it was. This is account¬ ed for by the fact that the train made good time going and com¬ ing. There was very little drink¬ ing and the colored and whites cars were separated by a bag¬ gage car. It was a well manag¬ ed excursion. Mmn^Mich., was ly afflicted with rheumatism but re ceived prompt relief from pain by us ln £ Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

A Hun for Life. Sir Thomas Akins comes to the front with a lizzard-snake story that takes the dilapidated linen oft" the bush. He says he saw t,y snake catch a rusty-lizzard a few days ago and prepare to swallow him. During this pro cess of preparation for swallow¬ ing the lizzard, the bones of the little innocent reptile were crack¬ ed load enough for the spectators to hear them. The snake had swallowed the lizzard up to its fore tegs and as the snake saw the spectators it stopped to “lick" out it's warning tongue. At luis pause the lizzard saw a ch;u ce for escape and broke out of tl e snakes mouth and'out-run the speed of a bicycle down hill, unti' lie was safe in the woods a couple of hundred yards away. Then the snake was killed for being so stupid. A Household Remedy. And it-never fails to cine Uheunm t^.Catarrh, nl injvttre ' ,tcllR " Blood. is Mamo blood Balm (I?. B.

He takes a water-tight barrel, and after slip shucking his corn leaving a few ■thin shucks around the ear lie packs the barrel full, sticking the sharp ends of the ears down ward. Then he covers the corn with strong salt-water or brine. In winter the corn is taken out, soaked and is almost like fresh roasting ears. Quite a sensation was raised a few days ago at Yale college be cause tlio senior class accepted a sprig of ivy from the grave of R. E.
