After severe suffering with heart disease for some time, Mr. Irwin died at his home on last Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. He was about seventy years old and was a resident of this place for the last ten years. The fu¬ neral services were conducted by Dr. Quilliau and the remains were laid away in East View cemetery on Mend «v morning at ten o’clock. Mr. Irwin was a consistent member of the Chris¬ tian church. lie leaves several children and relatives and friends to mourn his demise. He was a worthy citizen, a kind father and devo¬ ted husband. Next week will he one of re¬ joicing for the young folks. They are already scheming to impose upon ever faithful Santa Claus by hanging up the largest stock¬ ing they can find. Besides these pleasures at the fire side the Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools will each have a Christ¬ mas tree onChristmasEve night. The “Sunbeams” of the Baptist church will have an Entertain¬ ment some night during the week. Some one stole all the sausage of Mr. Step! euson on last Thurs day night. It was hanging on the back porch to cool. The ras¬ cal ought to be caught and pun¬ ished . The Holy State. Several couples were united in marriage this week. We give the list below, and hope that the life skies of each may ever be as golden and roseate as they would have them: Mr. Homer Houseworth to Miss May Farrill. & Mr. Fletcher Bohanan to Miss Elbe Hollingsworth. Mr. Bond, of Lithonia, to Miss Jessie McDaniel. Mr. Mitchell to Miss Sims. On account of the work re¬ pairing the inside of the church there were no services by Dr. Quilliau last Sabbath. The building will he neatly finished, presenting a new outside and inside. The usual services will be held tomorrow. Last spring each member of the Conyers Elm Club agreed to set out this fall one or more trees for the benefit of the town. This week Mr. Moore is engag. ed in doing the work for the club. A great many beautiful trees will be set to afford abun¬ dant shade, which is so much needed. Mr. H. Y. McCord is the originator of the plan. Prof. Lane’s Lecture. Prof. Charles Lane, of Allan - fca, delivered a lecture, “The Analysis of Laughter,” at the academy last Thursday evening. The occasion was one of real enjoyment to those present, and those who did not go missed a treat. We think evervbody ought to encourage such enter¬ tainments,for it is good to “laugh and grow fat.” The rich should spend their money to assist in an} thing that tends to enlighten or elevate, aud the poor should go in order to dismiss for a time ihe cares of life. __ Last Thursday a little boy baby was horn unto Dr. and Mrs. Quilliau.

Wo Lo ADAIR. THE BJLUE FRONT.. . FIELD ri5iV3. There has been a Jsirtror area fihaa usual planted throughout the state, and the crop of peas is a larga one. Thera is complaint from soma sections that the vines have not borne wall, but, as a rule, the crop is a good ouo. GROT 7 KD PEAS are reportod good, and iu lower Geor¬ gia the fattening turned hogs are in many This case; already on them. crop is planted in this state chiefly to fatten hogs, tor wnich it is admirably adapted. Not many are planted fctates for market, though in oar sistor of Tennessee and North Carolina they are largely cultivated for that purpose. In this era of di verbified farming, some of our farmers might find this a profitable orop. men. Tbe crop is generally good all over tho state, With more planted than usual. I hope next year to seo this Vnluablo grain more generally planted than ever before. It is not hard to raise, yields fairly well, and is healthy beast.. and Tho nutri¬ tious for man and chief trouble is to clean the hull from the g.-ain before it can be cooked. The psople on the coast who livo largely on rice, do this by pounding the grain m long time, using n Wooden mortar and pestle. (For commercial purposes the cleaning is done in large steam mills.) There are now on tho market small rioe mills, which might bo run like the cotton gins throughout the country, the farmer paving so much toll to have his rice oleaned. Were thoso small mills established, I am satisfied that the pro¬ duction of rice would be greatly in¬ creased. FRUITS. The fruit crop has all been gathorod and disposed of, except somo varieties of apples, pears and grapes. A few days since I saw a oarload of watermelons iu Atlanta shipped from some point in Indiana, and they seemed to be selling very rapidly. Can not some of our watermelon raisers have melons for the market until frost? The last iu the market, I think would do as well as the first, and command just as good prices, for the people seem to want them more When they are not to be had. Try it next year, shipping south instead of norm. I think it would pay if moderately en¬ gaged Much in. fruit of the was injured this year by the very wet August, particu¬ of larly which peaches, grapes in quality, and melons, non® were, Georgia, as good as Usual iu North lacking the eweetness which sunshine alone cau give. i stock. stock is in fair condition. Reports of Cattle, in different parts of the state,* hat nothing very serious or that will not readily yield to treatment. Hogs generally reported healthy and in de « dedI y « reat f ™ mbers th aa n f Ui * l > though , somo localities, particularly , . in louthwest Georgia, have reported large losses from oholera.
