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. (to be continued) Mrs. Anna Gage, wife of Ex Deputy U. S. Marshal, Columbus, Kan., says: “I was delivered of TWINS in less than 20 min¬ utes and with scarcely any pain after using only two bottles of ^“MOTHERS’ 1 FRIEND If ■y, wvT ' M .

We were un¬ able to learn where the young people came from. The annual Sunday School Cel-, ebration at Oak Hill will be held on July the 4th, as usual. Mr. Tom Hicks has charge of the grounds and will have things in readiness for the occassion. The invitation is general. There will be preaching at the Presbyterian church on Thursday night, Friday night and on Satur¬ day at 11 o'clock before the fourth Sabbath, preparatory to adminis¬ tering the Lord’s Supper on Sun¬ day, Everybody is invited to at¬ tend all the services. Mrs. Werber, Mr. Alex Werber, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Bosworth, Miss Nannie Dukes, Mrs. Julia Petty and 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¬ fer the bereaved father our sym¬ 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 pig. The pig ri two weeks old and its eye balls hang out about an inch and there is not a sign of 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 place. The little one had been sick for some time and about two weeks ago Mrs. Werber brought it to her mother’s thinking, per haps, the change W Ollld. instead. do "t o-qoG^ but it grew worse The remains were interred in Rockdale cemetery yesterday af¬ ternoon, after religious services at tiiQ reS idence of Mrs. Dukes by D r Quidian.

Respectfully. lm Mrs. J. S. Johnson 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.

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 More anon escape the waste basket. June 9th ’96. J. H. O. Gindale, Tex. 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. Cured by Baco-Curo and Gained Thirty Pounds.
