One of the most lamentable deaths that has occurred in this vicinity in quite a while was witnessed the 19th of January at three o’clock, Miss Fannie Rice, who lived with her father in Madison county She was vi.iling her grand-mother in Elbert county when she was taken sick. One week ago we met Miss Fannie enjoying a horseback ride with her aunt, and only a few hours thereafter she was seized by that dreadful dis ease pneumonia, and to-day she lays beneath the clay. Miss Fannie was a lovely girl of bright intellect, and was about seven teen years old. She did not belong to any church, but our honest opin ion is she crossed the river safe. Her little brother came to her bed side, the grasped his hand, repeated the Lord’s prayer and then called her father and aunt to her and told them to meet her in heaven. Said she was ready to go to her savour who reigned above, then the death angel came with her hitter pain and took her to her home of bliss "where she shall reign forever with her master who, doeth all things well. Her parents and many friends have our heartfelt sympathy. Now r , to both young and old, let us remember that the young may die and the old must, and let us all be ready when the bridegroom comes. “Be ye also ready, for ye know not the day or the hour when the son of man conieth.” J. L. 11. I Where Woman is Appreciated. A gentleman from Buenos Ayers informs a Chicago journal that there is a great chance for spinsters in the Argentine Republic. The word “chance” is hardly deferential enough as used in such connection; hut the kindly motive which prompts the in formation will make amends for such a slip in phraseology. It appears that there are about sixteen men to one woman there, so that in the fierce, competition for helpmeets by the men of Argentinia not even age is spared. It is gratifying to note that there is one fair republic on the face of the earth where marriage is not only not a failure, but is a positive and blooming success, and it is equally gratifying 10 note that it is exempt from ilie fluctuant, unstable quality which has lately made the financial system of that same republic a tale of woe for the money kings of Europe. —Philadelphia Record.

I jofty Jumping. The widow of Oust >r says that lie was the first of American .'iriLiy offi cers to experiment on the rattlesnake 1 as an entree. His cook prepared the dinner under protest, anil as tho gen eral was eating the dainty lie saw the alarmed negro cautiously peering in through a crack in tho tent, doubtless expecting to see his master drop down in a lit. Of another man's aversion to snakes Mrs. Custer says: “One of the officers was terribly afraid of snakes. When ho was a child one had wrapped itself about his body, and so unnerved him that be nover re gained his courage. Every one laughed at him; no one lost an opportunity to tease him; but being a fearless rider, hunter and fighter ho could afford to endure the taunts of his comrades. “Among our pets was a strange little owl that had been dug out of a hole, where it and the rattlesnake and prairie dog liad lived in a kind of co-operative housekeeping. It made usound almost exactly like that of the rattlesnake. “Our water bucket had a cover fitted upon it as a protection against the ob trusiveness of the dogs. As there was no box convenient, the owl was placed in the empty bucket. One of our favor ite tricks was purposely to occupy every seat, the bed, chairs, etc., as the officer who so hated snakes was seen approach ing tin? tent. “lie was welcomed effusively, and the bucket being the only seat vacant ho of course took it. Then the disturbed owl began to 'rattle, ’ and the way in which the officer bounded into space called forth shrieks of laughter, lie was one of the athlete's of the regiment, but ho jumped belter now than ho had ever been known to do at any of our Fourth of July celebrations, when trials of strength and skill were always in or- We invite the citizens of Banks and surrounding counties whenever in need of anything in our line to call upon us.
