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

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

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.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, III.,

caught cold which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month

that no medicine could cure her.
