The farmers of Schley county are buying very little guano, this is a good omen and they will be much better off ne;ct fall. The Fort Valley Leader says: I 4 The opinion of so'me of our best fruit growers is to the effect that Tuesday’s extreme cold has not materially hurt the prospect for a fruit crop. The estimate that about a third of the buds were killed is the general opinion.” The peach crop in Georgia is very seriously injured if not entire ly killed, so say those who ought to know. The same experts say the Botan plum buds are comparative ly uninjured. There is some chance yet for a short crop of late bloom ing peaches.—The Houston Home Journal. It now seems likely that the cheif jMilitical issue in our next congressional and presidential campaign will be the question of territorial expansion, with the re publican party for and the demo crats against the policy. It is that a large of the cattle in several western states were killed by the extensive cold that prevailed last week. Georgia farmers should get in position to supply a large share of the deficit thus caused. The thousands of dollars that go north and east every year for life and fire insurance out of each county in Georgia, and which never returns would greatly help in supplying the capital needed to improve and build up our state. Why could not this be kept at home ? A movement has been inaugur ated to have the first annual re union of the Rough Riders of the late war with Spain held at El Faso, Texas, because that city furnished a great number of the riders. Gov. Roosevelt has notified ex-Gov. Pfince, of New Mexico, that he will be in that territory this year, and while down there in the great southwest the effort will be made to hold the reunion Rough Riders. Referring to the punishment General Eagan, the Boston says: The fate of General Eagan may not be exemplary from point of view of strict military cipline in the army, but it a soldiers sense of honor, which ought to be dearer to him than his life. The mere fact that General Eagan is to go on for six years receiving the $5,500 annual pay a brigadier general, without the privilege of wearing his uniform or taking part in service is not looked upon as a happy fate. Flushed cheeks, throbbing temples, nausea, lassitude, lost appetite, sallow complexion, pimples, and blotches, are warnings. Take I)r. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine. ..... s • — • s® Schley Notes.

A startling incident of which John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coat ed, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually grow ing weaker day by day. Three phy sicians had given me up. Fortune atcly a friend advised trying Electric Bitters; and to my great joy and surprise, the first made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three we< «s and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them, Only 50 per bottle at Bridges Bros.

Mr. and Mrs. A. m. Caskey visit- - ed relatives at Elluville last week • Guess. In Memorian. F.. F. Collins was born in Bulloch County, Ga., in April 1823, where he re mained until lie was married to Rebec' ca Lindsey. To this union was born 8 children, 5 sons and 3 daughters, 4 yet survive. Not long after marriage he moved with his family - to Houston conn ty, where he remained . until 1849 when , he moved to Taylor and resided there (with the exception of 2 years, 1 in Lou i'siana and 1 in Pike county, Ga.) until his death at his home Nov. 13th, 1898. He lived out his fourscore" and 5 years, and was wonderfully blest with health and activity until his last few years. He was married twice,last to Mary Worsham of Taylor county, she yet survives him. Mr. Collins was well and favorably known all through this section of the country, having always lived a very ac tive and energetic life. He was by pro- fession a farmer and a very successful one. As tfTnti/.en he was highly esteem £d for his kiifd, neighborly and friendly conduct. Honorable in his dealings, prompt to his obligations, always keep ing his word and credit first class, until his physical strength failed, even then he was willing and horn st at heart. Strictly temperate, using spirits all his life, and never intoxicated. At his home hospitable, . being gOOu proMder, very it therefore , , , he always , had something gpod , for his friends ami their stock, and he certainly enjoyed a visit from his friends as well as any person could. He never united with any religious denomination, but the Primitive Baptist church was his favorite and choice, which he always manifested by being a regular attendant at their meetings, and cheerfully and willing hearing his part of necessary ex pences, in fact a stranger would have taken him to be a member with them. When he died I was sent for, but being away from home could not attend his burial or witness his last sufferings, but his dying testimony satisfied the family that he made a happy exchange. In fact many who were thought to have proper understanding of spiritual things believ e d that Mr. Collins gave evidence of re generation years ago, and the writer hopes he has seen him shed many peni tent tears, but he may have suffered his conscience scared with a hot iron, ist Tim. 4, and 2. If so all his works shall be burned and he saved even so ashy fire. 1 Cor. 13, 14, 15. 3rd Chap. The deceas ed doubtless had enlargement of the heart, but of course he had arrived at a very advanced age. I have known and most Of the time lived neighbor to Mr. Collins from my earliest recollection, but he has passed awUy and I hope his spirit is with Jesus. He leaves not only his own children, hut to him has been bom 63 grand children and and 58 great grand children and many friends to mourn their loss. May the Lord and comfort the bereaved. J. G. Murray. —The 4 4 life of the flesh is the blood thereof.” Pure blood means healthy functional activity, and this bears with it the certainty of quick restoration from sickness or accident.
