Tucker, we wish to unite with our brethren all over tlie land to bear testimo¬ ny of our appreciation of him, and sympathy for his bereaved family. We realize that the removal by death of so distinguished a leader is an irreparable loss to the de¬ nomination, also Christianity lost one of her ablest defenders, and humanity a tender friend. Our Heavenly Father bestowed upon him gifts of a superior order. His genius was equalled by few. We thank God for such a man; and pray God to raise others up of like gifts and character, for His glory and the good of His people.

On Thurs¬ day night before the, 4th Sunday in Oct. a protracted meeting will begin at the church. Beef, pork, sausage, aud fish last of the week at A. B. Osborn’s. I also want all the green and dry hides I can get. Mr. E. W. Jeter of this place is thought to be an heir of a large English estate. Sometime ago, possibly two years, Mr. Jeter es¬ tablished a correspondence with an attorney in England who has been looking closely after the es¬ tate ever since. This attorney has been quite zealous. Within the last few days information has been received at this place that the parties who have had the legacy held up, which involves many millions of dollars,» have proposed a compromise by pay¬ ing to the Jeter heirs $700,000. It gives us more than ordinary pleasure to record the marriage of Mr. J. H. Varner, of this place, to Miss Arpie Price, of Flippen. The auspicious event occurred at Flippen on Thursday September, 12th, at 5 o’clock, p. m. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. M. Bowden, at the residence of Mr. Joe Price, tlie bride’s fath er, in an impressive manner. The wedding was a private one, no cards being issued. The hap¬ py couple left for the home of the groom, in this city, immedi¬ ately after the ceremony was per¬ formed, where they were met by a number of friends.—McDon¬ ough Times. Miss Price is a niece of Judge Gleaton of this place. An exchange says that every newspaper in the State should publish the fact that burnt corn is a sure cure for hog cholera, and adds: “It was first discover¬ ed by the burning of a pile of corn belonging to a distillery at Peoria, Minn. It was thrown to the hogs and eaten by then, Be fore that time a number had been dying each day with cholera, but t £ e jj sease immediately disap „enred. It is 30 simple a remedy that it can be easily tried. REAGAN S TOBACCO. tobacco Judge Joe Reagan has a small patch, which lie says shows what Georgia can do in the way of raising her own tobacco, and in that wav avoiding the evil effects of the tobacco trust. His patch has 20 rows 3 feet apart and fifteen stalks in each row, making 300 hills, and covering about, one iifieentli of an acre. It is estima¬ ted by Col. J. C. Barton and others that tlie yield will be nearly one pound to the hill. Now should the yield be 250 lbs., this would make at 20 cts. per pound fifty round dollars. Should the yield be one-half pound per hill, which we think a fair esti¬ mate, it would make 150lbs. which at 20 cts would bring the neat little sum of $30.00 on one fifteenth of an acre, or at the rate of 450 dol¬ lars per acre. Would it not be we 11 for farmers to look into this matter, and reap for themselves the harvest they are accustomed to leave to others? New liats, jeans, checks, shirting Al¬ and seaisland cheap at J. H. mand & Co. Dr. Moore of Emory college will preach at the Methodist church in this place next Sunday morning. Those who attend, to use tlig language of Dr. Henry Quigg, will near a good sermon. Mr. B. B. Bradford of Sheffield district died at his home last Sun¬ day morning and was buried at Philadelphia church yesterday. He was about 70 years old, and left a wife and quite a number of children to mourn liis loss. Though he had suffered for years with cancer, the cause of his death was fever. R. J. Allen’s minstral troup gave an entertainment at Almand’s hall Saturday night. H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co. are having rock hauled in on the hitching ground in the rear of their store room.

The Mitchum Bros, run a govern¬ ment distillery in Newton county. Mr. Will McKniglit left this morning for a ten days’ He trip to Port Smith, Arkansas. goes on a prospecting tour. It is quite likely that the cit¬ izens of Conyers and Rockdale county will be invited to a splen¬ did exhibition of fine cows some time soon if the efforts of Messrs. L. F. Scott and T. A. Elliott are successful. These young meiuire anxious for a cow show. Next week we hope to give more par¬ ticulars on this subject. TO THE LADIES. We have received our fall line of dress goods. They are beau¬ ties. Prices to suit all from ten cents to one dollar per yard.

Almand & Co., you can get what you want in dress goods. Prices guaranteed as cheap as Atlanta or other cities. The Georgia legislature is pas¬ sing statutes against dueling.

But she wasn’t built that way. She was passing our Live Racket store when she burst into sobs and went inside to repair damages. So they helped to hoop up her sob barrel and mop up the overflow. When somewhat recovered she lifted her voice to express her gratitude, but it was short like a mold of jelly with the jim-jams, and besides was so hot with emo¬ tion that she dropped it kerflop and it broke the silence. Not much to break- around this store but it would have ruined the man who doesn't advertise and who keeps a large supply of proof si¬ lence on hand. Wishing to coin fort the afflicted and having no more entertaining listener to offer they placed in her hand a price list of their goods. A smile stole into her face and robbed it of an old gold look which ii had. When tlie smile disappeared she discovered her loss. She was frantic. Her breath came in short Pants, and they arranged with her to take tlie whole lot at sacri¬ fice prices. They propose to offer them at startling low figures.

Only a baby’s grave, you see, When violets sweeten tha silent air; Only a baby’s grave—“How small!” you say, Hut the care of my joy lies buried there. Only a baby dead; you sigh, Then mayhap forget; or, musing low, ‘Only a baby—liow blest to die So young!” but ah! J cannot see it so.

There will be of candidates enough and to spare. Col. North¬ ern and Mr. Nolan have the field to themselves now, hut there are other gentlemen who think it would lie pleasant to be sacrificed upon the “altar of patriotism,” and they will let it be known in due time that they are ready for the ceremony to begin. The Augusta Evening News begins to fear that there will be a O dearth of gubernatorial candi¬ dates in Georgia next year. The News needn’t become alarmed.
