The citizins of Lithonia have
gone to work in earnest for a
cotton factory. They propose
to any company that will tale
hold of the work to give the cite,
the granite and the sand. This
will be a liberal contribution
toward getting a factory under
way. A cotton factory with
several hundred spindles would
afford a market at home for all
the cotton in this section, and
would insure the highest market
price for the staple.

GRIfl DEATH’S CLAinS.
On last Wednesday morning
Mr. Presley Christian, who was
afflicted for several years with
cancer of the lip, died. He was
about 78 years of age, and had
lived a useful life. The funeral
was conducted from the Method
ist church on Thursday. Dr.
Quiliian made an interesting
talk upon “Let me die the death
of the righteous, and let my
end be like Iiis.”
Mr. Christirn was for many
years member of the M, E.
church, and occupied a promi¬
nent place among his fellows in
civil life. He raised an inter
osting family, among whom are
two sons who are now preache: s
cf the Gospel, Rev.- Jeff Chris¬
tian, located in Atlanta, and
Rev. Coe Christian, of Fresno,
Cal.
After Dr. Quiliian, Dr. Quigg
made a very appropriate talk,
referring to tho fact that for for-'
ty years he had known the de¬
ceased, and said that his life
was as near faultless as could be
said of any one.
The remains were buried in
Ilockdale cemetery, We ex
tend sympathy to the bereaved
ones.

Mr. Alexander, who has been

again.
Tho Mount Lebanon Shakers re¬
cently performed a great deed of
charity, although it was not designed
as a charity, being nothing more nor
ess than an advertising scheme. Ie
however resulted in great good just
the same. They gave away 1,000
bottles of their Digestive Cordial to
those suffering from stomach derange
ments. It was so effective in curing
those who used the remedy that they
were loud in their praises of it and
in consequence a Ia; go demand for
the cordial was at once created.
The ebuggists of this town have
little books that tell all about it. Di-.
gestive Cordial creates an appetite,
aids digestion and brings about a rap¬
id increase in flesh aud strength.
