W e wish there were more colored people of Sherman Tur¬ ner’s ambition. The first bale of cotton market in Conyers this season was brought in by Mr. T. C. Kelley, of Henry county on last Thurs¬ day afternoon. The bale was auctioned off by sheriff Austin and D. M. Almand & Sons were the highest bidders, their bid be¬ ing lOf cents per pound. Mr. Charlie Granade of Atlanta, well known to all of our people, fell from an uper window of a two story house in that city Sunday morning and may die from the injuries he received. The latest report was that he was suffering from paralysis of the stomach, caused by the spine being injured.

Last Monday afternoon light¬ ning struck a car on which Mr. R. M. Leftwick had, just a few mo¬ ments before, been loading some stone at Rockland, near Lithonia. At the same time a bolt struck a tree about a half a mile away,kill¬ ing a six year old negio boy. The lightning imprinted on the boy's breast the picture of a tree, branch es, leaves and all. We are in debted to Mr. B. N. Ford for this piece of news. The meeting at the Presbyterian church, after being protracted for ten days, closed last Sunday night with fourteen accessions to that church, one by letter and thirteen upon profession. Rev. F. R. Graves, who assisted in the meeting, preached veiy forcibly, and his sermons were all excel¬ lent expositions of the scripture. It is believed that others will unite with the different churches as a result of the meeting.

Mr. McCalla will visit Gainesville again in October. He speaks in high terms of the cordial recep¬ tion he received from the citizens of the city, and predicts the time not far distant when Gainesville will rank among the first cities of Florida.” TWO CONYERS MEN. A correspondent to the Madison Advertiser, in giving a short his¬ tory of Salem campground and the late meeting held there, has the following to say of two of our most prominent men. “Mr. Henry Y r . McCord a prominent merchant of Atlanta, but whose home is in Conyers, is one of the prime factors in the maintenance of this campmeet¬ ing. He is a zealous Christian, an agreeable gentleman and a no¬ ble man. We hope he will live to enjoy a great many more camp meetings at old Salem. “Dr. Downs, of Monticello, and Mr. Thomas Elliott, of Conyers, are two other Christian gentlemen who do more than than their share in making the meetings a success. The deeds of such men live after them.” FREE PILLS Send your address to H. E. Bucklen & Co., Chicago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Question.—I want to put up consid¬ erable wire fence this fall, and I want your advice as to posts. I have a choice between pine, poplar, magnolia, sweet gum and oak; which is best for the pur¬ pose? What is the best treatment to give the posts iu order to preserve them from decay? Will small trees cut iu proper lengths last as long as large trees sawed or split for the purpose? Answer. — Among the woods you mention, good heart pine is a long ways the best. If you could possibly get cedar posts they would be the best, but aside from cedar there is in South Georgia uo better wood for posts than the heart of a sound yellow pine. A good and economical treatment to make the posts more durable is to apply to them a heavy coat of tar, covering ev¬ ery portion of the post that goes in the ground, and for 6 or 8 inches above the ground. Better still, if you could boil iu tar for the space of half an hour the ground end of your posts they would be rendered practically proof against rot. The largo trees split or sawed would last longer than tho trees only large enough for posts. You will readily see the reason of this, from the fact that the small tree would be entirely sap wood, which rots very quickly when exposed to the weather, while the posts from the large tree, being all heart, would be much more durable. Never use for posts anything but heart wood. —State Agricultural Department. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Tht fac- ■*■* is Hmils n ■1Future •very ef 4 »«»» W. A.
