The bright crop prospects of a few
‘ks ago are fast vanishing. The
drought is playing liavoe with small
craim while the cool weather is giving
SJtoi a disastrous set-back. Farmers
ire very blner-AlAm, Banner.
Considerable complaint comes from
our farmer friends in our immediate
surroundings because of the continued
drought. The stand of cotton is very
poor, while the damage the oat crop
has sustained warrants the fear that
the harvest will be very small.—East
man Journal.
Mrom almost every section of the
comity comes the gladsome news of a
most excellent stand of cotton. Many
a farmer has been busy this week
chopping out, and could we only have
a good season about now tho promise
would make us feoi good. There are
good stands of corn also.—Lexington
Echo.
Mr. N. J. Boas brought in a bunch
of wheat from bis Oothcalogn valley
farm, last Monday, which is ahead of
anything WO have yet seen. It is
waist high and the bunch contains
twenty-three stalks, all headed out
finelv. He has seventy-five acres in
wheat and expects a handsome yield.
—Calhoun Timet.

day with our fanners. Good stands
are generally reported.—I.ineolnton
Xeiet.
Some of our farmers say there was a
slight frost on M onduy morning, though
so light that no damage was done.—
Fairborn.
The cold -nap has not injured the I
cotton, and the farmers are happy

these cool mornings are greatly dam
aging tho early peach and plum yield
by causing the young fruit to drop off.
—llarneicille Hail.
The extent of the damage to fruit
from tho lato frosts, can't be estimated
just at this time. It is to be hoped
that the dry weather prevented any
very serious injury.—Gainett die Eagle.

Campbell county's best farmers

what he called "oat grs/ing grass,”
w hich lie lias had on his plantation for
about tell years. The grass is now
over four feet high and headed some
what like oats. It is tender and shows
every unality of fine grazing grass, lie
says it remains green all tho winter
and makes aline pastors as early aa
would allow us to say what we pleased
about ids parsimoniouBness, and lie
consented. * « • • Jake Slappey
is so stingy that lie uses a pocketbook
owned by Noah's great-grandfather.
He uses a new style combination key
on it. It is a shingle nail.—Montezuma
Record,
now TO EDIT A NKW8PJ TER.
Wo are greatly obliged to our friends
for suggestions as to how to edit our
paper, and are glad to knew they en

is to skip what thoy don’t like. It is
within tho bounds of possibility, how
ever, that somebody will be pleased
with what thoy Bkip.—Newnan Adver-
tiier.
THE LEGISLATOR'S RAILROAD PASS.
Despicable indeed must be the mem

A Fountain for Mont.zuma
Yesterday a drummer passing
through Montezuma suggested a plan
to build a (250 fountain for our artesian
well—something durable, ornamental
anil a lasting monument to a big-heart
ed class of men. Ills idea is for one
hundred traveling men to contribute
(2.50 towards erecting the fountain,
and that the namo of each donor be en
graved on a marble tablet and placed
in tho side of the fountain. We be
lieve there will be no trouble in raising
the money, as Montezuma gives a good
trade to the traveling men and they
could not feel oVh-rwissthan kindly to
wards us. M. «M*^Baugnn, Lewis,

The Wlregrais Wool C ip.
We learn that tho wool. clipping of
tho county for this season is unusually
short, and that many of the sheep own

This is attributed to ravages of disease
and dogs.—Sylvania Telephone.

Mr. John House, living near Staten-
ville, wont off into the woods on Mon
day morning to look after bis cattle.
Up to this writing (Wednesday) he baa
not been heard of since. He has a wife
and three children, who are nearly
wild with apprehension.—Valdoita

Died from a KHfd Wound*
John I.ynes and Wm. Ross, negroes,
had a difficulty some time ego in which
I.ynes cut Ross on the head with a
knife, who died Monday morning. An
inquest was Hold and the verdict of the
jury was that ho came to his death by
a wound inflicted on the head with u
knife by Lynos, who was arrested on a
warrant issued by Coroner Aero, and is
now in jail.—Crawfordville Democrat.
A Freak of Natu-e.
On tlic south bank of Bluo Springs
creek, some distance from its mouth,
is a aweetgum tree. On the treo is a
limb which, after growing about two
and a half feet, turned back to the treo
and grew into it. It forms a half cir
cle, and where it grew into the tree
there is not n seam or abrasion of any
kind. Damo nature is a quceroldlady,
and some of hor works are very sur
prising.—Albany Medium.
A Horsa to Rival Lula Hurat.
At R. G. Matthew’s stable stands i
wonder in tho shapo of n horse. In
fact she possesses powers of magnetism
which, if properly cultivated and
brought lent, would bo to tlio horse
what Lula Hurst is to tbo human
race. On occasionsthisbeautiful white
horse, who always teems extremely
nervous, becomes so full of electricity
that every hair in the tail stands out to
Itself, and upon bolding a guttapercha
comb close to it tho hair immediately
flies to it as if drawn by some irresisti
ble force. We shall watch this wonder
and may apply for permission to take
her on the stage.—Bametoille Mail.
A Narrow Eaonpe.
A young man, who is a nephew of
the stoward of tho steamer Throna-
tceska, on the last trip of the boat from
this city, Tuesday night of last week,
when near Chattahoochee, l-'Ia. .walked
overboard from the hurrlcano deck,
while asleep, striking the guard as he
fell and bouncing into tho river. Tho
steamer ran over him, and the wheel
struck him. He was seen no more and
his death SI l ined assured
On tho next trip of tho steamer it was
hoped to find his body floating some
where in tho river, and burial clothes,
etc.,were brought along, but judge the
surpriso of all, when the young man
was found sitting on the river’s side at
Whaley’s mill, waiting for tho boat.
Ho bad only been stnnned by the fall
and tho wheel, and recovering swam
ashore.—Bainbridge Democrat.
A ST. SIMON'S HATCHERY.

Mr. Holmes on St. Simon’s Island
bas eight hundred chickens at this
time, tho result ol batching from his
incubators. Out of one hundred and
complain at paying (9 a day for his
board.
“1 knew a very grotesque looking
South American dwarf, who used to bo
exhibited as a wild man without lan
guage who fed on raw meat, and who
was im-apalile of iindi-rstai'ding even
signs. Well, after tho exhibition was
through every night that dwarf used to
go over to a restaurant and order ail
tlie French dishes on tho hill of faro,
read a Spanish newspaper, talk French
to the waiters, and ask questions of
Americans in fluent English. He had
enormous appetite. He didn’t
eigh much, but he ate like an
elephant. Ho used to polish off
three apple dumplings for desert.
Some of the miniaiu:- m ■ bam
been jolly good fellows. I have know n
Eome of them who could have put a
whole company under the table drink
ing beer. They have a tolerably easy
life of it, A very small dwarf will get
(500 dollars a week, or twice as much
a leading man at a New York thea
ter. I have known (800 to be paid for
the week’s engagement to t| plioaoir o
naliy small dwarf. Of course tho dwarf
who gets (100 a day may draw (200 a
day to the museum.

Oeacon Newton Goes to Bed on Wednes
day and is Aroused on feunany*
A Snow Hill (Md.) special says:
Leon Newton, a farmer living three and
hall miles from Snow Hill, went to
sleep on Wednesday last at 10 p. m,
and slept until 0 a. m. on Thursday,
Ho arose for an hour, and then slept
from 7 a. m. on Thursday until 6:30 a
m. on Sunday.
“I attended church at Snow Hill on
Wednesday evening,” said ho to-day,
and when I went home to bed ns us
ual I did not feel remarkably sleepy.
When I got up at 0 a. m. Thursday I
went to tiro stable and fed my horses.
Knowing that my breakfast would not
bo ready until 8 o’clock 1 looked at my
watch, saw it was only 7 a. m., and de
cided to take a nap. I crawled up on
tho hay rack In the comer and soon
fell asleep. 1 was aroused by John
Watson, my next neighbor, who stirred
mo up with a pole. Ho was palo with
fright and fairly shook as 1 climbed
down to tbo floor.
“ ‘Where liavo you been?’ said he.
“ ‘Asleep,’ said I.
“But whathavoyon been doing slnco
Thursday T”
“ ‘You fool,’ said I, ’what do you
mean? Isn’t this Thursday7’
“ ‘No, tliis is Sunday,’ said John,
who seemed to be afraid of me and
commenced to edge toward the door.
“Well, wo talked for ten minutes,
by which timo I was pretty much mix
ed andjost about as scared as Watson
won. 1 want you to let people know
that I am a temperance man anil Imre
not drunk a drop of liquor, not even
cider, for twenty-five years. I did not
Uko a drug of any kind and
seems that I slept over ninety hoars,
with only ono hoar’s intermission
hnvo not been asleep since Watson
woke mo up, and to tell tiro truth,
am not very anxious to try it. I sat
up Sunday night and Inst night,
prolmbly will do so again to-nigiit.
When I was a boy I camo near be
ing buried while I was in what the
doctors called a trance. My mother
was crying over me in my coffin when
I opened my eyes. They took mo ont
anil pnt me to bed. The next day I
was well, after having apparently been
dead for three days. This time it
looks to mo as if I had only been
sleeping. I never felt better in my
life than I do now.”
Daring Newton’s sleep his family
and friends became convinced that he
was dead, and suspected some oyster
dredgers whoso enmity ho had in
curred of having made away with him.
The dredgers began a search for the
body. Five schooners and a whole
fleet of oyster tongsmen dredged the
river all day Saturday in search of tho
body. When Sunday dawned every
body believed Newton was dead. Tlie
news of tho discovery was received
with incredulity, and all Snnday even
ing tho country folks flocked to the
Newton residence to discuss his re
markable experience. He is a deacon
in tiro Methodist church at Snow Hill.
