Prom actual test of weights and
measures, the following figures
were obtained by a party of gentle
men who saw ha* last Sunday.
Her weight is 500 pounds. She
is 5 feet 8 inches in height; 7 feet
2 inches is her circumference
around the bust: 6 feet 4 inches
around the waist, and 30 inches
around the arm near the shoulder.
One man was unequal to the task
of measuring her.
She came remarkably near being
as broad as she is long.
It is said she fills completely the i
body of a one-horse wagon, and is i
a full load for one horse to pull. ]
Within the last twelve months i
she has gained about 100 pounds '
in weight.
She would be a valuable side- '

Mrs Eelder was a remarkable
woman in many respects. She
possessed remarkable vitality, as
her long life proved. She was a
consistent Christian for fully- 70
years, a devoted member of the
Baptist Church. She lived about
16 years a girl and maiden, 48
years a wife, and 23 years a widow.
She was nearly blind and very
feeble during the last year of her
life, and for the last three or four
weeks was completely blind and
entirely helpless. Tender hands
and loving hearts minisieredto her
wants, and now she has gone to
meet the Heavenly reward for a
long life well spent. 1
Thereare many here besides her 1
relatives who will ever remem- 1
ber her with love and gratitude. 1
She is at rest—happy in Heaven.

President James informs ns that

1 ton Connty Alliance will De held
’ at Elko on Friday, the 3rd day of
' October next.
The delegates are requested to
be on hand early, as the session
will be opened promptly at 9
o’clock a. m. There will be con
siderable important business be
fore the meeting, and a large por
tion of the day will be needed for
that purpose.
All sub-Alliances are requested
to select delegates at their next
meeting, if that duty has not been -j
performed. (
The delegates and visitors will j
be the guests of Hickory Grove ^
Alliance.
We know the entertainment will (
be tip-top in every every respect. (

During the the past ten days one
of the most interesting and suc
cessful religious revivals that has
been known there for years, has
been in progress at Andrew Chap
el (Houston Factory Methodist
church). The meeting has been
conducted by the pastor, Bev. N.
D. Morehouse, assisted by Bev.
D. D. Bateman, of Perry, and Bev.
Sylvester Brown, of Dennard.
Though the weather has been at
times exceedingly inclement and
threatening, the attendance has
been uniformly good, and
an. in
tense degree of interest manifest
ed. Eight accessions to the ehnreh
have been made, and others are
confidently expected. Backsliders
have been reclaimed, family altars
erected, lukewarm church mem

throughout the community reli
gious sentiment has been deepen
ed and widened into an influence
for good.

It will be remembered that a
large lot of cotton was destroy
ed by fire in Mr. Prince’s ware
house last winter. Although there
had been no instructions from the
farmers to insure it, Mr. Price.paid
all losses to the farmers, in full,
out of his own pocket It certainly
must be a source of satisfaction for
the farmers to know that they can
carry their cotton to a warehouse

and all losses, and who is as solid
