The frosts of autumn have stripped many of the trees of their foliage, and what leaves rumniii on their limbs nre of variegated colors, while tlie,ground is literally carpeted with a luxuriant bed of brown rustling leaves. Christmas comes but once a year and about this time everybody is pre paring for ail enjoyable time during tile holidays.

There are exceptions, of course, but I refer to tbo majority of them—tlie “croppers” on the farms.

No young man who ever left Albany to seek his fortunes elsewhere carried away the best wishes of a larger circle of friends than did Mr. Jus. M. Gran tham when lie went to Ocala, Fla., some three months ago to accept the position of pharmacist with the Antl- Monopoly Drug Company in that oity.' It will be a pleasure for his friends in Albany to know that Jim is.doing well, as the following notice, clipped from the Ocala Banner of the 25th ult., will show. Speaking of a branch store to be opened soon, the Banner says: Mr. J. M. Grantham will be found at the head of the drugdepartinent of the branch store. A man thoroughly qual ified for this position; a registered pharmacist under the law of Georgia: also, under tlie law of Florida; a mem ber of the Georgia Pharmaceutical As sociation ; coming from Lamar & Sons, Albany, Ga.. with whom he had served as prescriptionist for six years, all prescriptions entrusted to him will be tilled carefully and scientifically.

He is a son ot the once notorious Georgia Ann Flagg, and a brother or half brother of Bob Weeks, a respecta ble arid well-to-do young Negro who clerks for J. B.

Speaking of tho efficiency of simple remedies, n woman tells of ono benef icently applied in the course of the Columbian celobration: ‘‘It was that memorahlo Wednesday anil we were seated in-a crowded Btahd, when my little girl, aged nine, cried out to me that her nose was bleeding. I gave her on extra handkerchief and hoped it was a brief attack, but the hemor rhage did not stop. We exhausted our supply of handkerchiefs, put a key down her back and tried several other available methods—to no pur- poso. Gladys was miserable and I was not much happier. Exit was impossible and things were growing critical, when a man several seats below us ritood up and, using his hand as a trumpet, shouted: “ ‘Raise her right arm for. a few minutes, - “Gladys heard and quickly obeyed. The effect was magical. In less than a minute the bleeding showed signs of cessation and before five minutes was over entirely. I could only nod my gratitude to pur unknown bene factor,’ for on that memorable day separation by a few feet meant often an impassable barrier."—New York Times. - - Recoveries below the Sea' Level.
