adopted:
Resolved by this church that in
the death of Dr. H. H. 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.

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?

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.

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. The

some other city to buy their dress
OS. Now if you will call on J. H.
Almand & Co., you can get what
you want in dress goods. Prices
guaranteed as cheap as Atlanta or
other cities.

To our Tale of Woe and other
things.
She was a mother, a woman and
likewise a female. She had a
heap of courage to be all three
when she didn't have to. 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 Dead.
Dedicated to the bereaved fam¬
ily of Mr. Andy Oaks.
Only a baby dead, you know,
A little liic closed ere It spans a year;
Only u baby’s voice hushed, but oh I
The lack of its prattle is hard to bear.
Only a little white hearse, and they
Who follow It. slowly are very few;
Hut the little white hearse It hears away,
With '.hat other dead heart my dead Heart too.
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.
Only a baby dead, you know;
“Only a baby; ‘Us lightly said,
Rut into my life came a dearth of woe,
With the knowledge that “Only ababy’s
dead.”

There will be of candidates

due time that they are ready for
