A negi o Baptist Association met with the Shady Grove church a few miles below town Sunday and to put it mildly, there were negroes in and around Conyers that day.

Negroes in this section are always very much in evidence but on this occasion that evidence was doubled and thribbled. QUILT SELLING. On last Monday night at the Court House, Mr. D. N.

Pure religion and undefiled be¬ fore God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction; and keeping himself unspoted from the world.” How many church members in Conyers, who has made a visit of that sort, in a week, month, a year? To say nothing of keeping unspoted from the world. Set us the example my friends. Actions speak louder than words. Gold is all right, get it, honesty; but there b more than gold in this life. “Eclcsiastes Itch. 9ve. it. Dr J. J. \V. Glenn. MARRIED. -*wl. Sunday ov.-ir.i g Get. 0< h at the hdine <)f the i*it.-’s par¬ ents, Mr. ami Mrs. WebbCra; ale, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Josie, to Mr. Char¬ lie Crawford in the presence of a few invited friends. Rev. W. T. Grauade, officiating. Mr. Crawford ie a prosperous young farmer of our county, while the bride is a handsome young lady of many admirable traits of character, and will make home happy. The Banner wishes them much happunss and prosperity. The horse that is co telled to pull his hay from a raekkbove his head will generally be troubled by inllamation of the eyes When he throws up his head and noses the hay, all the loo?e dirt and seeds will fall from the hay, and the horse will get more or less of it in his eyes. Much trouble may bo caused by such racks, even with the best and cleanest of Lower the racks.— Farmers Pasture is tnepoor man’s wealth. Upon plenty of good pasture do ponds success in summer feeding. With the majority of farmers the pasture provides the sole summer feed, hence the necessity that it be strong and vigorous. Nothing is gained by overstocking a pasture. It is bettor to sell a part of the stock than to keep them on short pasture where it keeps them busy all day to get enough to satisfy their wants. Cattle on such pas¬ ture never get fat. The time to pasture is when the dew is on; the earlier in the morning the better. —Farmers’ Tribune. A mistake made by many per¬ sons is in being slack in making good their promises. Do not pro¬ mise unless you are sure you can make it good. If you wish to buy on time, pay up as promptly possible; in this way you will gain the confidence of those with whom you have dealings. It is a good plan to try to pay a little be¬ fore the time agreed upon ; when you once got a reputation for promptness, you can get better bargains and better terms in trad¬ ing. In all of my dealings and observations I have found that honesty and promptness in keep¬ ing promises will gain friends and dollars as well.—Practical Far¬ mer. A Missouri editor makes this opology: “We expected to have a death and marriage to publish this week, but a vio¬ lent storm prevented th® wed¬ ding and the doctor being sick himself the patient recovered and we are accordingly cheat¬ ed of both.” “Young man,” said the old gentleman sadly, “I have on¬ ly daughter. ’ ’ That one needn’t worry you,” replied the prospective son-in-law ‘‘I only want one.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Ctildr&n. siaile 6 St» , it Tax Collector’s JVotioe.
