If This Year Was Youi Last. Is this our last year on earth? This is not suggested to sadden any heart, but in the secret records that are not open to o.n* eyes it may la* written, “This year thou slialt die.” The possibility is enough to stir our zeal and in crease all our activities. “The night cometh, when no man can work.” How wol^it will be if there lias been no loitering nor neglect of anything while the day lasts. If there is work in the church or community that rests on us, let ir not be neglected or cast on others. It will soon enough fall on other shoulders. When Wesley was ask ed how he would spend the next day, if it were his last day on earth ho gave the outline of a busy day, fryju early morning til I late in the evening,-and said then he would commit himself to God and fall asleep and awake in glory. So lot this year be spent as if it wore our last, filled up with labor and prayer and self-sacrificing devo tion to Christ. Whether this shall be our last year or not, it is pos sible to make it the best wo ever spent. Everything is propitious; the promises brighter than ever, grace in fuller measure, our hearts more sanctified, and heaven near er than ever before.—Presbvterian. Passing along one of our princi pal buiness street s a few days since we beheld a salenmn in one of our mercantile establishments sitting asleep, while all was bustle and stir in adjoining houses. At first wo were puzzled to account for this strange phenomenon, but when we remembered t hat this house carried no advertising in The Herald it was all plain enough. The moral of t his is, don’t advertise if you are tired and seeking rest, and verilv you shall not be disturbed.—Dayton Herald. THE KNOXVILLE AND NORTHERN ROAl) PLANS MANY IMPROVE MENTS, ONE OF WHICH IS TO BUILD TO ATLANTA. KNOXVILLE, Tenn; July 1. —The very extensive improvement which the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern railroad has been mak ing at the “mountain,” near Ducktown, Tenn ; will be complet ed very soon and trains will be running over that portion of the road.

Knowing that anything that may be said in hon or of him will not fail to he read and appreciated by all his friends. Deceased w as born Jan. 20 IK20, lie was therefore 80years 7 months and two days old when the sum* moiis came. When lie was 40 years of age he w as married to Miss Mary Erwin of Gilmer coun ty, Ga.,and from this union there were born two sons, McCullough and Boss .Summerour, both of whom survive their parents and now reside in Texas. In 18()i) his wife was called from earth to her home beyond the skies. Twelve years later he was again married to Mrs. Flora Jones with whom he lived happily the remainder of his life. He spent quite n number of his Ante-bellum days, in hauling cop per from Ducktown, to Carters ville, it was then he made so many warm friends ail along the line, who to day realize with sadness, that he is no more. After the war, lie carried the mail for sever al years, from Mcrganton to Car tersville and by this time he had acquired a sufficent amount of property to enable him to retire from hard labor and he 1ms been living a quiet, peaceably and hap py life ever since, until a few years ago he was stricken with paralysis from which he never fully recuperated, and about one month before his death his old * trouble began to grow rapidly worse it was impossible for him to rally so in spite of all that loving friends and a devoted wife could do we had to yield to that power which plays havoc with the sons uud daughters of men. Although his life was not what it. should have been at all times for the last six years has lived an ex emplary life. Notwistanding his mind and charter were balanced —his predominating trait seemed to be a strict adherence to truth to this nil the powers of his mind and heart were brought, into subjection and made to subserve his one great object in life. In unflinching integrity in unfalter ing devotion to duty, ho lmd few equals and no superiors, Wo have every reason to believe from some remarks lie made while on his death bed that lie now enjoys the blessed inheritance of the re deemed. As a husband lie was kind and thoughtful; as ft citizen he was courteous, charitable and popular; as a Christian gentle, pious and pure; ns a neighbor most dearly beloved. Ho was truly a good man and it is safe to say that no citizens of our town was ever carried to the grave more sincerely beloved and respected than the subject of this sketch. His funeral was atteded by an unusually large number of people, the services being conducted by liev. Stiles, of Ryo Ga. Peace to his memory. Solace to his be reaved family.

Negro Hoy Knticcs u- Man Into Hand of Ij fesceker*. Moim.ic, July J..—S. J. McGowan, a young white man, was brought to the city this morning from his home, abput 33 miles south of the city, at a point on thi* Mobile and Bay Shoro railway. 1 Mc Gowan is suffering from a contusion in the abdomen, which he claims was in dieted by an unknown negro with an ax last m gist. McGowan's story, which is corrobo rated by that of his brother and sister in-law, is to the effect that a 16-year old negro was employed on Thursday last as house servant at the house of J. T. McGowan, brother of the injured man. He had never seen nor heard of S. J. McGowan. On Saturday evening last S. J. McGowan visited the home of his brother, and the boy said to him that ho would like to take a short walk with him aftor supper, as ho had some thing to talk about with him. walked After supper S. J. McGowan out to the gate, about 100 yards, stand from the house. A clump of pine trees just outside of the gate. The boy asked him to come out a little further, aud as McGowan entered the clump of trees some unknown man struck at him with an ax. The blow was aimed at the head, but McGowu dodged aud the ax struck him in the stomach. The boy had started to run off. As the blow was struck several figures appeared from behind other trees. Mc Gowan pulled out a pistol aud fired five shots, all aimed at the negro boy. He also followed the boy for some distance before he fell. The figures seen in the trees disappeared. morning On the first train this a posse, headed by the sheriff, visited the scene, taking with them the local blood hounds. The dogs found the body of the negro boy, who had been struck by three bullets. The sheriff’s posseo spont the day at the scene aud arrested seven negroes, who were brought to fhe city for com plicity iu the affair. McGowau killed About 10 days ago a negro, claiming self-defense, and it is said the attempt to kill him was made iu a spirit of revenge.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

FORMULA IS SUGGE3TED Enemies of llic I’lunt mid Mow to Thwart Their l)< predut lout—The lie.-t Soli—Views ol On mist. • A gentleman who* desires to experi ment with Irish porutoes ns a revenue crop asks for advice oa the the foliowiiig points: (1) . The most available potato for shipping purposes. (2) . The best time to plaut so as to bring the potatoes into market in time to miss the first cfop of southern potn toes and the regular annual crop of northern potatoes. (8). Character uud amount of manu factured fertilizer likely to ensure the largest yield. k Answers to the above iinestions: (1). The Irish potato in highest es teem among the truck farmers ou the Atlantic coast near Savannah is the “Pink-Eye” or “Early Hose.” ('J). The best time to plant so as to come between the first crop of southern patotoes and the regular annual crop of northern potatoes is in February or early March. (3). The following formula for Irish potatoes is suggested by Dr. McCand less, our state chemist: Nitrate of soda., .300 pounds Cottonseed meal . 000 pounds Acid phosphate (14 percent) .800 pounds Sulphate of potash 300 pounds 3,000 pounds Use from 350 to 500 pounds to the acre, according to the fertility of the soil. Mu riate of potash may be used instead of sulphate, if the latter cannot bo easily had. We have heard ’‘Armour’s Helmet Brand Potato Fertilizer” recommended In very flattering terms. Best Soil For Irish Potatoes. Irish potatoes give the best results in a rich sandy loam, neither too wet, nor too dry. If the season should he a wet one, a clay subsoil would be unfavor able to the growth of the potato. A calcareous soil can generally be counted ou for producing a crop large and of fine quality. When the soil contains but, little lime, it is well to use this as a fertilizer. The inverted sod of an old pasture is good for tiie Irish potato. When such a sod is used, a little well rotted compost should be harrowed in upon it. A com post made of muck and leached ashes makes an excellent manure for this crop. Knemles of the Potato. . The potato rot is a disease not thor oughly understood and no effectual remedy has yet been discovered for plants affected by it. The only thing that can prevent spreading is the de struction off all infected stems and leaves. In localities where other crops have been destroyed by the rot, a reme dy is found by the use of lime in the hills and by occasional dusting of the growing plant with it. Sometimes a attacked by the rot has been saved mowing off the top of the plants. It has been found that crops on commercial fertilizers have been are less liable to this disease than where composts of various kinds farm manures have been applied to 60il.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. “Something New Under The Sun.” All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRAH by the use of powders, acid, gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry up the nm euous membrames causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful acids used in the inhalers have en tirely eaten away the satne membran es that their makers aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments cannot reach the disease. An old and ex perienced practioner who has for many years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of CA TARRH, has at last perfected a Treatment which when faith"uily used, not only relieves at once, but permantly cures CATAltRII, by re moving the cause, stopping the dis chaiges, and curing all inflamation. It is the only remedy knowh to sci ence that actually reaches the afflict ed parts.

The shirt waist season is here in force and it will be only very un reasonable women who will protest against ihe men making them selves comfortable in that gar ment. It should be remembered, however, by those who aspire to be shirt-waist men Unit wi*a ring the coat a part of the day and then amoving it from a soiled and rumpled negligee shirt does not constitute a shirt waist man. He must have a shirt that is fresh and immaculate, never having been S()i]ecl by contact wit h a coat . He must have no suspenders, or his fate is already foretold: ' he will be ostracised. A neat shirt w ith a belt can be offensive to 1.0 one with a shred of common sense; and after all, what man cares especially to cater to a senseless or selfish woman? I will wager that the girls who object, to the shirt waist for men spend two thirds of their days in the‘‘sloueh iest” sort of negligee, and are en tirely oblivious of the criticism of their families or neighbors. With the cultivation of a little sense, the women whose iastidious eyes are offended by the sight of a little comfort in men might become less selfish in their own summer com fort, and men’s heavy garments he relegated to oblivon during the hot weather.—Ex.
