Almand, avIio is among the best and most enterprising farmers of Middle Georgia killed last Thursday three seventeen months old hogs Avhich netted him 1432 pounds of fine meat. This is a fine yield. Mr. Almand is a thorough-going farmer and makes money on every tiling he raises from turnips, watermelons and potatoes, to cotton, corn and hogs. H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co. will receive a car load of bran in a feAv days. AVe are very sorry to learn that Mr. AA r . M. Richardson of Rich¬ ardson in this county had his arm badly broken in some machinery last Aveek. AVhile trying to in crease, the fiction of a belt, so as to keep it from slipping, his sleeve was caught by a knot on the belt, which carried his arm with it and bent it around the pulley, break¬ ing the bone and pushing the sharp angles of bone through the flesh.

L. Peek, of Conyers, as¬ sume 1 the office. The books were found to cor respond in every respect with Colonel Cc-rput’s statement, and a was all aminers stating that every thing was correct and that Colonel Cor put’s administration had been per¬ fectly satisfactory to the alliance. The directors think that in se¬ curing Mr. Peek they have suc¬ ceeded in getting the right man for the place. Ho bears an ex¬ cellent reputation for business acumen, and he has also had juuch. valuable experience in the management of the co-operative store at Conyers. Mr. Peek will begin his work full of ardor for the cause he has enlisted to serve, and the directors feel confident that the success begun under Colonel Corput will be carried out under his admisistration.— Constitution. jggg“W!NE OF CARDUI a Tonic for AA’omen. There is being organized in our toAvii a literary society. The first meeting Avas held at Mrs. Mc Knight’s last Friday evening. The attendance Avas good, and the interest shown was encouraging. A temporary organization was effected, Rev. J. L. Moon being elected president, Miss Lula Mc¬ Cord secretary and treasurer, and Mrs. Mamie Shaver critic. Com mittees Avere appointed to com¬ plete the organization, and to some Avere assigned literary du¬ ties for next meeting. The next meeting Avill be at ReA r . J. L. Moon’s on next Monday evening the 27th inst. The young people of our town, and even the older ones, could not do better than join this refining society and give it their hearty support. It is so much above some other grovelling amusements that could be thought of. Special bargains every day at Elliott’s. Don’t miss them. Last week Mr. Z. T.

Mr. Oscar Woolley who has been very sick for some time, we are glad to note, is able to be up again. Mr. A. C. Ivey killed a 9 months old pig last week that netted him 309 pounds. Miss Ophelia Plunkett, after a very pleasant visit to relatives in Atlanta, returned home last Sat¬ urday. We hardly think Mr. J. J. will now make his visit to At¬ lanta. > Mr. A. N. Plunkett and wife vis¬ ited Mr. T. J. Almand's family last Sunday. Mr. J. A. Dukes of Conyers visited Oak Grove last Sunday. Come again, Jim, we fire always glad to see— Our old bachelor can bo heard singing, “I have a sweet hope." That’s right, G. W., if you don’t succeed at first, try and tty again. The young people had a nice singing at the residence of Mr. T. J. Almand’s last Saturday night. Mr. J. J. says he is going to climb the hills of Sheffield about the first Sunday. Take our ad¬ vice and stay on this side of the river. Mr. T. J. Almand has bought a farm bell, which has a cord at¬ tached to it that runs to his bed, so the boys say, that he can ring up his hands without getting out of bed. That’s right, Mr. Almand, there is nothiug like having things convenient. Miss Ida White has a very fine school at Oak Grove. The out¬ look is very battering for a fine school. Mr. H. L.

NOTHING LIKE IT. Our ingenious and famous pat¬ ent man, E. AV. Jeter, has gotten up a remarkable Cotton Chopper, since it is simple and cheaply ar¬ ranged. It works with a cam movement; and it seems plain from the model that it will do the Avork which he claims for it. He claims that it will ploAv out the middles, leave the cotton in hills at any distance desired, thereby enabling one horse and hand to do the same work as 5 to 7 hands' and as many horses could do per day, and do it better and much more regularly. Mr. Jeter Avants help to have them manufactured. AVe have not seen the model ourselves, but think it would be worth Avhile for some manufacturer to look into the matter. MONEY TO LEND.

Catarrh \ May affect any portion of the body whore the mucous membrane Is found. But catarrh ot the head Is by far the most common, and tho most liable to be neglected. It cannot bo cured by local applications. Being a consti¬ tutional disease it requires Ringing a Hood’s constitutional Sarsaparilla, remedy which, like Noises working through tiro blood, eradicates tire Impurity which causes and pro¬ motes the catarrh, and soon effects a perma¬ nent cure. At tire same time Hood’s Sarsa¬ parilla builds up ttie whole system, and makes one feel renewed In strength A and health. If you suffer Impure f ; from catarrh, be sure to Blood try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “ I used Hood’s Sarsaparilla for catarrh, and received great relief and benefit from it. Tho catarrh was very disagreeable, especially in tho winter, causing constant discharge from my nose, ringing noises Hood’s In my cars, and pains in Sarsaparilla tho back of my head. Tho effort to clear my bead In the morning by hawking and spitting was painful. Hood's Sarsaparilla gave mo relief immediately, while In timo I was en¬ tirely cured. I am never without the medi¬ cine in my house as I think it is worth its weight in gold.” Cures Mrs. G. B. Giuk, 1029 Eighth Catarrh St., N. AV., Washington, D.
