Malcolm. All men have their, peculiarities— ‘be trouble comes only in cases where the peculiarities possess the mail. Mr. Ben Summers, of Princeton, was here last Monday and in speaking of crops lie remarked that there are some unusually fine prospects in his district. We have heard nothing from our correspondents tin’s week. We re¬ gret very much and hope the boys will show up regularly every week hereafter. The Rockdale cemetery is being Maced inmost excellent condition. Fences and gates will be repared and when ttie job has been completed the people will find genuine satisfaction in beholding it. The demand for fruit jars lias been so great for the past few weeks every merchant in town has sold his entire lot and this commodity Conyers. Great cannot is now the be had in fruit crop. It seems that the negroes of Con¬ yers are xvliolely unable to steer clear of the Mayor’s court— at least a cer¬ tain class of them. At this writing the prospect is good for another in¬ teresting session next Monday morn¬ ing. The many friends of Mr. S D Niglff will regret to know that lie has been critically ill for several days past and that the chances for his recovery are not many.

Are You Pale o n These are symptoms of anemia or poor blood. They are just as frequent in the summer as in the winter. And you can be cured at one time just as well as another. Scott's Emulsion of cod liver oil with hypo phosphites will certainly help you. Almost everyone can take it, and it will not disturb the weakest stom ach.

The jury commissioners will meet at the courthouse next Mon¬ day and revise the jury list. Messrs. Dd Ewing and Robert Longshore, two prominent young railroaders, are spending a month in the county with their parents. The day of final judgment will witness a vast throng of country editors—they testify will be called up to against delinquent subscri¬ bers. A man’s third duty in life is pay cash for his home paper. His iirst duty is to serve God and the second is to properly care for his family. A county paper does more free work for the general public and gets ed qussing more voluntary and undeserv¬ than any other institu¬ tion on the face of the earth. When a young man indulges in vices; cultivates a taste for things low and degrading, and ignores the admonition of friends, he is on the broad road to ruin and travel¬ ing at a teritlc rate. We have flattered ourselves by t he belief that we had many friends throughout the county but one of two things is certainly true. i. e., we are mistaken or else these sup¬ posed friends are not raising water melons this year. If you don’t appreciate your county paper enough to take it and pay for, don’t sneak into the office and beg one when you are told that it contains something of special interest. If you must have one pay for like a man. Chas. Nowell is a clever, steady going fellow, always at his post, ready and anxious to wait on cus¬ tomers and obliging all the time. It is a thousand wonders to us that some far-seeing young lady hasn’t already recorded a first mortgage upon him. CASTOniA.

Guinn occurred at her home in this o,clock city yesterday morning at (5 after a long and painful illness. She was first attacked withrheum¬ atism and other afflictions devel¬ oped which made her case very complicated and rendered her suf¬ fering great. She was most ten¬ derly nursed throughout her illness by her devoted family and particularly assiduous were the attentions of her son, Dr. J. A. Guinn. Despite all these devoted efforts death at last gained the mastery and the spirit departed. Through all her sufferings this good lady exhibited a Christian fortitude that was pleasing and ennobling and gave those about her a greater Christian courage. Mrs. Guinn leaves behind her a worthy and devoted husband, and six children, Mr. R. J. Guinn, of Atlanta, Mr. R. C. Guinn, of Cov¬ ington, Mr. E. P. Guinn, member of Col. Candler.s Third Regiment, at Griffin, Dr. J. A. Guinn, Mrs. C. E. Reagan, of this city and Mrs. M. Eakes, of Murray county. moth¬ She was a devoted wife and er and despite her sore afflictions was anxious far the welfare of those she loved. Her death brings sadness to many hearts and the sympathy of our people go out to the. bereaved ones. The furneral tervices will be conducted from the Methodist church this morning at 8 w,clock bj T Rev. Dr. Quillian, after which the remains will be laid to rest in Eastview cemetery. fHHH 1 1111111 n i' 11 1 n 111 *' i!; ■ L&STEtixs nonn'ui <i i niiim. .^Vegetable Preparation for As¬ similating tomachs theFood and andRegula- of ting the S Bowels INFANT^/C mi/l)HEN Promotes Digestion,Cheerful neilher - ness andResi.Contains Opium,Morphine nor Mineral.
