a nice lot of beets from Mrs. Routzhan^

Cars well’s garden, by the hands of
Judge E. F. Lawson, weighinging 6
pounds. Later in the day, Mrs.

down the scales at 61 pounds. We call
this a good showing for beets. We
must not forget to thank little Otis Mc
Cathern for a present of nice tomatoes.
Thanks, lrieads, many thanks.

AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVER.
*The sadest task which has yet fallen
to the lot of The Citizen is the record
of the death of Miss Jennie Palmer,
which occun ed at the residence of her
brother, Judge H. E. W. Palmer, in
this place, on Monday last. Young,
lovely in person and amiable in charac
ter—Death aimed his dart too well at
this shining mark ! But the contem
plation of so pure and well-spent Chris
tian life furnishes a sweet consolation in
this hour of sorrow and untimely sun
dering of the ties of earth. Such a con
solation and such inspired thoughts,
have they who look upon the pure young
life of her who has faded from our sight
like a shadow of earth going to rest,
while the light of her soul and life went
back to the Author of light and life. To
the deeply sorrowing and bereaved
ones we offer our heartfelt sympathies,
yet pointing to her pure Christian char
acter would say to them, grieve not, f jr
your loss is her eternal gain. The re
mains of Miss Palmer Here sent to
Greenesboro, Ga., and interred in the
family burying ground of her grand
parents. The remains were accompa
nied by'Messrs. R. A. Rhodes, J. A.

urday’s appearance. The darkies seem
to be full of joy over their fine crop
prospects.
— Mr. Ira R. Stewart, one of
Burke’s crack farmer's, has the finest
crop he has had for many years and
one among the best in the county.
Friend Ira is one of the most practi
cal and progressive young farmers to

“make hay while the sun shines.”
—Passing Dr. Holloyman,s drug
store a day or two ago, he called us in

on hand, and is ready to supply every
body who expects to raise a crop of
this fine winter vegetable.
—Mr. Rodney Attaway is the first to
put The Citizen under obligations for
