The opportunities offered to farmers by the two great fairs to be held this fall are in advance of all past records. With Atlanta offering $1,000, $500 and $300 for the best, county exhibits, aud Savannah offering even larger prizes foi exhibits of this character, besides the splendid premiums offered by both fails for individual exhibits, should inspire every one. Crop conditions are now favorable in most sections of the stare, and every county should be represented at Atlanta and Savannah. To say nothing of the money to be won, it is true that a county can have no better advertisement, foi ■ presentation as an argument to home- seekers, than a first-class agricultural exhibit at these great fairs. The pre mium lists are liberal iu every particu lar, aud may be had upon application to Secretary T. H. Martin at Atlanta, oi to Secretary J. C. Shaw at Savannah. The railroads transport county exhibits free of charge. Strietly Appropriate. One of the pretty Sunday school teachers has a class of little girls, anu it is her custom to tell them each Sun day of some little incident that has happened iu the week aud request the children to quote a verse of Scripture to illustrate the story. In this way she hopes to impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon the little ones. Last Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch cats and cut their tails off. “Now, can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?” she asked.

March Uth, 1899, all obituary notices from any source will be charged for as advertisements at the rate of cine- half a cent a word, cash to accom pany the copy, or property vouched for. Our reason for this rule is that obituary notices occupy space that could be used by matter of more general interest to the av erage reader, Again the fam ily of the deceased or com mittee requesting such publication, are in many instances non-patrons of the paper, and really borrow them to read the article in which they alone are interested, hence our rule charging all for such pub lications, Should copy be sent without cash, and you desire copy returned, plea3e enclose postage.

The thrilling tale of the daring hold up of the Blue Mountain stage at Coon bill, near North River, in the Adiron- dacks, the other day by a masked high wayman was told recently at Indian Lake, N. Y., by Edward Bernstein, son ef Benjamin Bernstein, a New York clothing manufacturer. He was one of the passengers who escaped robbery. He said: “The Blue Mountain stage left North Creek, the eastern terminus of the Adi rondack railway, about midday. There were seven passengers, including my self. All were bound for Indian Lake. The stage entered a thick wood soon after it left North Creek. The road was dark and narrow. The old stage rum bled along, swaying on the rough road, until it reached the base of Coon hill. I should uot have known the name of the hill had not William Eldridge, the driver of the six In hand team, toiil me. I was on the box with him from North Creek. “The stage slackened up before es saying the steep hill and began the as cent at a very slow pace. As it neared the hilltop a masked man stepped from behind an oak tree and placed himself in the middle of the road. He was about 25 yards in front of us. “At first it was impossible to see his face, because he had his back toward the sun, but as we advanced another yard or two we noticed that he wore a big sombrero, a blue flannel shirt, with an old red handkerchief around the col lar. A heavy beard that came to a point covered the lower part of the ban dit’s face, and two piercing eyes were visible through holes in the mask. He stood still, menacing us with a rifle. Driver Eldridge smiled and nudged my elbow. ‘A tourist, bet you!’ he said, laughing outright, hut the stranger didn’t look it. “ ‘Drop those lines!’ ordered the highwayman. “ ‘Drop what lines?’ asked Eldridge, bringing his whip down with a snap on the backs of the leaders. ‘What are you giving us?’ he continued, laughing heartily. ‘Get out of the way or I’ll run over you.’ “The masked man didn’t move an inch, but raised his gun to his shoulder. “.‘Drop those lines!’ “Two shots followed this order. It looked as If the highwayman meant business, for tlie two leaders of the team reared and dropped to the ground dead. Those in the coach shrieked loudly, and for a moment 1 thought some one had been shot. “ ‘Drop those lines!’ the highwayman commanded for the third time. ‘Come, now! Stand and deliver!’ “Eldridge dropped the lines and made a flying leap from tlie box. I didn’t think it safe to stop on the coach either, so I followed the driver. “I had hardly touched ihe ground when n third shot passed dangerously near my head. My legs gave way un der me, aud I fell to the ground. I thought I had broken them, but I found later that my ankles were sprained. I crawled far into the woods and hid in thick underbrush. I had $7,000 abouf my person and had no in tention of handing it over to the rob ber. I remained in biding for nearly an hour and then started back for the road. When I reached it, the stage had gone, so I had to begin a six mile jour ney to Indian Lake on my hands aud If ihe action o* your bowels is not easy and regular serious complica tions must be the final result. De- Witt’s Little Early Risers will re move this danger. Sare, pleasant and effective. H B MCMaster. Plenty of Amusements.
