There is apprehension of much distress in some of the adjoining counties which were without rain during the spring and summer. There is'a dry streak covering parts of Oconee, Clarke, Morgan, Putnam and Greene, where prac tically. nothing is being made. One large planter in that section had 1000 acres in cotton and esti mates that he will gather 100 bales of cottou. Corn is almost an entire failure. In many places, the crops never came lip and consequently were never worked. After rains in late summer, luxuriant crops of grass sprang up aud it was hoped that good crops of hay wculd be pro duced. This, however, has been cut off largely by some kind of worm which cuts the grass down near the root. Such a thing as a crop failure occurs so rarely in Georgia as to be almost unknown. Various methods have been suggested for extending succor to the distressed people of the dry districts. Some people think the legislature will ■make a direct appropriation for the relief of the sufferers, Mr. Weldon Price, the representative from Oconee in the legislature, has suggested a plun which may be feasible, serve every purpose, aud give satisfaction. He sug gests that the people hold a mam moth mass meeting at an early date and petition the legislature for the privilege of issuing bonds payable in five years, bearing b!x per cent iuterest -for a sum suf ficient to carry them over next year. This is a wise suggestion and may be acted upon favorably. —Walton News-aud-Messenger. The Widow Piper’s Neighbors- The sad news went out over the Kansas prairie neighborhood one day in early May, “Farmer Piper is dead.” He had come to the community several years before, hut had not made a success of his little claim. The wife and three small children were in sore straits when the father and provider was called away, and the first thought of the neighbors when they heard of Farmer Piper’s death, was, “What will become of the family?” The widow herself could not an swer the query. She could hold her claim if there was a crop in the waiting fields, but they lay tin plowed, with sturdy weeds spring ing up through the old corn stalks of last year. She had no relatives to whom she could appeal, and there was nothing, after the doc tor’s bill was paid, that could be used to hire help. What was her surprise one mor ning, three weeks after her hus band had passed away, on looking out of her window, to see the vi cinity of the house alive with teams and men. There-were men with plow 9, men with harrows,men with listers, and men with corn planters. Work began without asking leave. Whi'e one team drew the stalk cutting machine, others followed with plows. Then came the har rows and the planters, while the listers rapidly planted the corn on the fields that did not need so much care. Men were busy se lecting and shelling the seed corn, and when the late spring evening came there were seventy-five acres planted, and as pretty as any in the neighborhood. In the company were thirty nine teams aud twice as many men aud boys, all of whom did their part in making the day a good one for the widow aud her family. Toward night the visit ors filed out of the yard, with wagons rattling, plowshares jing ling, and men and boys cheering and waving good bye. The widow aud her children stood in the door of the little prairie cabin. Tears did not allow them to recognize every one, but in their hearts was a thankfulness not to be put into words. —Youth’s Companion. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated tiy him as follows; “1 was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow,eyes srunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite —gradually growing weaker day by day. 'lhree physicians had given tne tip. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec tric Bitters and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they savedmy life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50cts., guaranteed, at A. M. Winn A Son’s Drugstore Secretary of State - Phil Cook has received a letter front Comte des Moots of Paris, who is at the present time traveling in this country, asking for facts aud fig ures relating to Georgia industrial ly, with the view of selecting some place in the South to bring French immigrants. Comte des Mauts is now at St, Paul. Minn., and indi cates in his letter that he will shortly come South aud pay a vis it to Atlanta The commmication indicates that the writer is en gaged in some philanthropic work for the good of the peasants of the country. Secretary Cook forwarded to him at St. Paul a large number of pamplets descriptive of Georgia aud her resources. Mrs. Sal lie Harrison, Ridgeway, Ga, writes : Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Med |icine cured me of Sick Headache,Swim ming Head and Sour Stomach. I gave < it to my children and find it better for them than anything I ever tried. The | Zeilin’s and Black Draught 1 used did I not have as much strength as it has. Attorney General Terrell is seek ing to establish a new standard among lawyers. Without any ref erence to the facts in the particu \ lar issue he has raised, why should not a lawyer’s talents be as avail j able on one side of a case as an i other, conceding, of course, that 'there is no mortal turpitude on either side, and that it is simply a question with two sides to it, as in most cases. We ouco heard a sto ry, which we do not vouch for, however, that a distinguished law yer was engaged to make a speech in a case then in progress. Either through absent-mindedness or in attention he spoke for about fifteen minutes on the wrong side, when the leading counsel pulled at his coat and explained the situation. Without chunging countenance he resumed his argument, beginning as follows: “I have now present ed the case of the other side, in the strongest light as it appears to me; now let me point out to yon ; gentlemen of the jury, fallacies in that argument, and the weakness of their case ” He then proceed- . ed to riddle the argument he had been making, and made a much stronger one on the otln r side. This, perhaps, is a fairy tale, illus trating the versatility of a great 1 lawyer. Hut if a lawyer can speak j on both sides of a case in the same , argument, why may he not be em- i ployed upon different sides of a 1 question after au interval of half \ a dozen years ?—Ex.

It. McMillan, a prominent citizen of Pine Log, was a visitor in the city Friday and was narrating to his friends a strange occurrence that has just come under his observa tion, Mr. McMillan was a Confed erate soldier and was wounded at Resaca Last week lie paid a visit to the old battle-ground and was a guest of Mr. King, who, also was wounded iu the head at the battle of the Wilderness, While at sup per Mr King, was annoyed by what he thought a bad tooth, and by inserting his fingers ou the spot that was hurting was surprised to have a largo leaden bullet fall in to the plate before him. This bul let was the cause of his wound at the battle of the Wilderness, hav ing entered above the left temple and while it had been probed for it could never be abstracted. Dur ing these long years, thirty-four years ago, it was working its wav downward, causing pain rccasion ally, which Mr. King took for neu ralgia, aud finally last week it fell from its long confinement into the plate as stated above. The bullet was flattened somewhat, and a gmall piece of bone had been im bedded in it, which is thought to be a part of the skull as it crushed through thirty-four years ago.

On last Monday night at a late , hour while Henry Roberts was re- , turning home he stumbled over , something in the road running by ! the cemetery which scared him almost out of his wits. He struck j a match and found it Jo be an old negro woman about 85 years old, lying across the road, with her head as white as cotton, caus ing her to resemble a haunt very much. The matter was reported to Marshal Anderson, who went out to investigate it, but could find out nothing more than her being a strange negro who wouldn’t or couldn’t tell where she came from or where she was going. She seemed to be crazy. He brought her to the calaboose and cared for hor the rest of the night. Next morning after eating breakfast she said that her father told her to travel east. She looked out and saw the sun and started off across the country in that direc tion. This is the last heard of Robert’s haunt. —Dahlouega Nug g«tt- There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other tfiseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, anil pre scribed local remedies,and by constant ly tailing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable.

' There lives in the vicinity of Columbus, 0., a rich farmer who is so contrary that he coppers whatever his neighbors may do. Recently, as Victor Smith tells the story, the latter got together and agreed that their lunds must be posted if they expected to have a quail or a squirrel. According ly it was done. Signs painted in gory letters suddenly stared the sportsmen in the face, and guns and fiehing tackle dropped 80 points bn the market. The con trary man decided that he would not post his land, and in direct opposition to his neighbors, sot up a score of these signs about his 5,000 acres of rich bottom on the banks of the Olentangy: “Shoot and fish all you please on this laud, and when the horn blows come to dinner.” He is the most popular man in the county, and the hunters and fishermen have offered him any office that may he at present or future disposal of the electorate. 1 —Pittsburg Dispatch. “Duly Feed M an and Hiked.” Feed your nerves, also, if you would have them strong.

A Bad Case Ok Blood Poison Cured Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at once, and his treatment came near killing me. I employed an old physi cian and then went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot Springs and remained two months. Nothing seemed to cure me permanently, although temporary i relief was given me. I returned home a ruined man phisically, with but lit tle prospect of ever getting well. I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B.

On Fooling the People. There was a man who went about predicting that the world would come to an end in. two years, says the Chicago Times- Herald. “Put up your tools,” he cried; “cease your striving after money I Fall on your knees and pray, for in two years the earniugs that ye save and the work that ve do to day will be as naught.” And the people scoffed at him, aud llung eggs over against hint ar.d refused to put money in his hat. Now, therefore, the man saw that the people would not believe him, and he sat him down by the wayside, and he laid hold of the brow appertainiugly unto him, and he thought. Presently he arose and a smile was upon his lips, and as he went forth into tho haunts of men he cried aloud unto them, saying: “Oh, my brothers, you are sore oppressed Your masters are grind ing you down. A mighty crash is near at hafid. Why do you spend your days in toil? Why do you not rush forth into the mar ket places and arouse your fellow slaves from the stupor into which they are fallen? A storm im pends! Be ready! Throw your tools away! Arise in your might and help to smite 1” , And the people contributed unto his support and acceped him as a great prophet, and got so busy dis cussing the approaching bnrst up that they neglected their work and were docked, and their hearts were heavy.

VI.-NO 49 THE LAWKKNCITIILK CAMPGROUND How strange 1 How mysterious, that sometimes, though far away witii other thoughts, aDd other things our time to employ, there suddenly flashes before us a beau tiful panorama that we thought the vista of years that lie between had completely effaced! Some powerful touch from a mystic hand, Perchance some elf from a fairy land, Seems bidding us to erstwhile pause and think Of childhood’s chain and an almost for gotten link. Then seemingly we are carried hack again To scenes of childhood’s happy days, Where oft upon a aot of straw we’ve lain And courted not Morpheus’enchanting ways. Where our carpets were of sweet smelling straw, Our divans the most luxurious we ever saw, Composed of planks as hard as hard could be, But on them we had our grandmothers’ quilts, jros see. From our windows there always hung curtains new, Beautifully sparkling with diamonds made of dew. And wrought not were they from foreign looms, But by the common spider that in fests our rooms. Around the old campground a music al brooklet winds, Which is.denrer than all others to our minds. Along its banks the loveliest ferns were wont to grow. Nodding their graceful heads to the music of the brook below. Our dear old ancestors over this ground used to trod, And Though now they are lying 'neath the green sod, We love their memory and cherish ever the spot That was once our forefathers’ hallowed plot. Oh, hallowed plot! Oh, place more dear! Forget thee I never again, but to thy memory drop a tear, Anil henceforth in memory’s casket reserve a spot For recollections of places that were almost forgot. —C.O., < Tiamblee, Ga. OBITUARY. As the dull hours of Saturday morning rolled uround the lone spirit of Worth Shamblee took its eternal flight into the great be yond, und ‘’Honest Worth” is no more. During the hot flash of the first of September he had a sunstroke, and was accordingly stricken with a violent fever, which resulted in his death. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Sweet Water church, amid a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. He wus about 45 years old and had never married. Ho was a quiet, patient, high toned Christian gentleman, noted for his rigid honesty and inoffen siveuess and devotion to the study of tho Bible. The community will sadly miss him, and his grief stricken relatives have our sincere sympathy. D, M. C. Luxomm, Ga., IN XEKOBIUK. On August 29th 1899, the death ungol visited the home of Mr. C. D. Gunter and carried away the wife and mother. Mrs. Emeliue Gunter was the daughter of Wil liam and Margaret Davis, aud was born Sept. 29th 1855, being 43 years and eleven months old at the time of her death. Bhe joined tho M. E. church, South, in the year 1871, and lived a consistent member of the same until her de parture. Hhe was united in mar riage with Mr. C. D. Gunter on Dec. 10th 1880, and was the moth er of 8 children—s girls and 8 boys, all of whom survive her. She was a kind wife aud a loving mother, aud was held in high es teem by all who knew her. She never murmured or complained of what tho Lord sent upon her; she was always found trusting in the Lord. She called her husband and her children, one by one, to hor bedside and told them to live right and meet her in heaven. On the 3rd Sabbath m August, as the people were passing going from campmeetii.g she requested that the door be opeued so that she could see those who were pass ing by, - and she looked as though to say, “Some of you who pass I have never saw before, and may never see any of you again, but I hope to meet you all in heaven, some sweet day, by-and-by.” She had upon her finger a ring that her husband placed there be fore they were married, which sho. had worn for 21 long years, but just a few days before she died she called her husband and told him to take off the ring she had worn so long for his love. We could say a great deal more about this noble woman, but we deem it unuecessaiy, for those who knew her know that she was a loving and christiun-hearted woman. Besides her husband and children, she leaves a number of relatives and frieuda to mourn her demise. We extend to them iu this sad hour our heartfelt sym pathy. J. T. Aderhold, R. A. Whitlock. Two Crops From the Same Vines. Mr. Willie Webb informs us that he made two crops of water melons this year from the same vines. After the first crop ma tured he cut off the vines and a new set grew out fresh and green in their stead. The largest melon on the first crop weighed forty pounds, and the largest on the second thirty pounds. About five weeks was required by the uew vines in which r.ogrow out. —Wal- ton News-and-Messenger.
