wliere we were, as would be ordi¬
narily, above the clouds. From
this point you can see, they say,
into seven states, but it looked
like we could see to the end of the
world. Then we walked across
the ' mountain to the Inn. This
is a beautiful place where you
can view the city. From this
point it seems like you are look¬
ing at toy houses. A train that
passed below looked like a toy
train. Then we came down En
eline R. R., No 2, which is eleva¬
ted 68 degrees When we started
down it looked like we were only
protected by kind Providence.
We landed safe and I thanked
God for his protection and prom¬
ised not to come down any more.
We reached our home and were
ready for Sunday. I tried to get
to Sunday school in time to get a
seat, but when I readied the
church I could not get in for the
crowd, and at eleven o’clock I
heard Dr. Carrell preach. He is
one of the ablest preachers in the
convention. The congregation at
the begining of the meeting sang,
“On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I
Stand,” and I will tell you, two
thousand people together singing
this old Gospel Hymn without
any musical instrument, was e
nough to lift the congregation up
and inspire them to feel like they
had crossed the river, and could
feel like they had heard the angel¬
ic choir in the Celestial City.
There were services by the con¬
vention in every house of worship
except the Catholics. The Jews
opened their synagogue and invit¬
ed our people to fill the pulpit
and this was something I had nev¬
er heard of before by the Jews.

Dr J. J. W. Glenn performed
a marriage ceremony last Mon¬

life Mr. Charlie Thrash and Miss
Carrie Tarflinger. We were un¬

people came from.
The annual Sunday School Cel-,
ebration at Oak Hill will be held

Tom Hicks has charge of the

invitation is general.
There will be preaching at the

day at 11 o'clock before the fourth

Miss Florence Young attend
the burial of the little infant
of Mr. and Mys. Carl Wer¬
ber yesterday.
The little infant of Mr. B. F.
Tucker, of Blossom, this countv,
died last Tuesday. The little
babe was about 3 months old.
Its mother died when it was a
bout five weeks old and it was
thought for several weeks that the
little one could not live. We of¬

pathy.
Many of our people are very
sorry that Prof. W. P. Fleming
saw fit to resign the position of
superintendent and principal of
the public schools. He has made
U3 a good teacher, and most of
the pupils who have gone from
under him to higher schools have
entered classes above their most
sanguine expectations.
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria,
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.
Mr. W. J. Williams, cf our town,
has a curiosity in the way of a

a sight on them. Its right fore
leg is deformed and is drawn up
by its neck. It walks on the
other three feet but is totally
blind. The pig is hearty and is
thriving.
The little babe of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Werber, of Atlanta, died
last Tuesday morning at the
home of Mrs. A. A. Dukes, w this

HAPPILY MARRIED.
Last week just as we went to
press we learned that on Wednes¬
day afternoon Mr. John Dempsey
and Miss Ioa Ewing were united
in marriage. The wedding occur¬
red at the home of the bride’s fa¬
ther, Mr. F. M. Ewing, about four
miles below Conyers, Dr. H.
Quigg performing the ceremony
in his usual pleasing manner.
Mr. Dempsey is one of our most
prosperous young farmers and an
excellent and worthy gentleman,
while his bride is one of the best
young ladies we ever knew, pos¬
sessing all these lovable traits of
character that go to make a good
companion.
Both these young people have
scores of friends' who, together
with the Banner, wish for them a
long life of health and happiness.
A VALUABLE PRESCRIP¬
TION.
Editor Morrison of Worthington
Ind.. “Sun writes: “You have a
valuable prescription in Electrie
Bitters, and I can cheerfully rec¬
ommend it for Constipation and
Sick Headache, and as a general
system tonic it has no equal.”
Mrs. Annie Stehle, 262G Cottage
Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run
down, could not eat nor digest
food, had a backache which never
left her and felt tried and weary,
but six bottles f Electric Bitters
restored her health and renewed
her strenth. Prices 50 cents and
$100. Get a bottle at Dr. W. H.
Lee’s Drug Store.

Jl Letter From Texas
Ms. Editor: We are the re
cipient of many letters asking a
bout Texas. Indeed we get so
many that it is quite imposible
to answer them all, so with y< ur
permission we will give a few lines
through your valuable paper,
which will be available to ill.
Texas is a wonderful state in
many particulars; with an area
five times ns great a. Georgia, it
is but natural that she should
have great diversity of soil and
climate. The soil in Bell county
is black and waxy, and as fertile
as the valley of the Nile. There
are small sections of country,
however, which are ns sterile, al¬
most, as the great Sahara.
But taken as a whole, Texas is
the finest agricultural country we
have ever seen, But for fear of
straining the credulity of some
skeptical Georgian, we would be
constrained to give an estimate
of some of the productions here;
but for fear impairing our verac¬
ity we would desist. It gets ex¬
ceedingly hot here in the summer;
but we have a Btrong breeze from
off the Gulf which mitigates the
heat to a great extent. Owing to
longer seasons, cotton matures
much better than it does in Geor
<£ia. Iu consequence of this, far¬
mers are not compelled to plant
their whole ciop as early as pos¬ The
sible as they do in Georgia. from
planting season embraces
March to June. From the earliest
planting they often get a “top
crop.” should this

DON’T STOP TOBACCO.
How to Cure Yourself While
TJsintj it.
The tobacco habit (crows on a man until hia
nervous system is seriously affected,
ing health, comfort and happiness. To quit
suddenly is too severe a shock to the system,
as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes »
stimulant that his system continually craves.
“Baco-Curo” is a scientific cure for the tobac¬
co habit in all its forms, carefully compound¬
ed after the formula of an eminent Berlin
physician who has used it in his private pra<
tice since 1872 without a iai'ure. It is purely
vegetable and guaranteed perlectly harmless
You can use uH the tobacco you want while
taking “Baco-Curo.” It will notify you when
to stop. We give a written guarantee to
cure permanently any case with three boxes,
or refund the money with 10 per cent inter¬
est, "Baco-Curo” is not a substitute but a
scientific cure, that cures without the aid of
will power and with no inconvenience. It
leaves the system as pure aud free from nic¬
otine as the day you took your first cnew or
smoke.
