His corn and fodder were stored away on bis plantation near Conyers, in a house once a dwelling and in one room of which a tenant did her cooking.

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. —Enter!

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. TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

Mr. Alexander, who has been on the sick list this week, is up 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. 2 Laxol ia tho name of a palatable Castor Oil.
