Agricultural Implements'.
1 have a full stock of
Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties,
And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me
with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices
that cannot be excelled in this section. I also have a choice stock
of Groceries for the city trade.
As the prosperity of every country depends upon the success of
agriculture, and realizing the necessity of thet horough breaking of
land and cultivation of the crop, I have supplied myself with a
large lot of two and one horse Plows of the best makes, consisting of
the Syracuse, Benton & Harber, White’s Clipper, Meikle’s Blue
Pony and the Boss, and I also have a large lot of Steel Plows,
Haiman and Southern Plow Stocks, single and double, and farming
implements generally.
And to all who would like to have a Pump put in their wells, I
would recommend the Buckeye .Force Pump, which myself and
many others have been using with perfect satisfaction for some
time. All who wish to supply themselves with any of the above
articles will do well to call and examine my stock and get my prices
before buying elsewhere.

The Confederate Preacher.
It is told that in 1862, a country
preacher somewhere in central Mis
souri was notified by the boys in blue
that he must cease his treasonable
utterances in the pulpit or be arrest
ed. The preacher demanded a bill of
particulars. He was told in an ab
rupt way that he must pray for the
President, and, to the astonishment
of the soldiers, he promptly declared
his willingness to comply with the
order. On the following Sunday
morning his church was crowded
with home guards, soldiers, and Con
federate sympathizers, each filled with
half-concealed anxiety for the day’s
results. It was a hot day in June.
In the amen corner sat the officers of
the military. In the opposite corner
sat the deacons of the congregation.
The white-haired preacher was hid
den from view beh'nd the pulpit long-
' er than usual that morning, but at
last the services begun and a breath
less hush fell upon the assemblage as
it solemnly knelt for the Jprayer on
j which the* fate of the congregation
! was hanging.
O Lord,” said the preacher, break
ing the painful silence which had fol
lowed his introductory of thanks.
| /Bless this waiting congregation.
Bless Thy servant who will address
them this day, and may his words be
. fruitful to Thy kingdom. O Lord, in
! a special manner we pray Thy richest
blessings upon the President!”
“Amen!” said the kneeling militia
officers, nudging each other violently,
while great drops of perspiration
stood upon the foreheads of the dea
cons. There was a brief and awful
pause.
“Lord, shouted the preacher fami-
larly, with sudden animation, “Thou
knowest whom I mean. I mean Jef
ferson Davis!”

Flovilla, Ga., October 5.—Death
has removed another one of Butts
county’s old landmarks—Major B. F.
Ward died about 12 o’clock. He was
born in 1800, represented his county
as Senator and Representative. He
lived and died on the McIntosh re
serve: bought it from the State of
Georgia in 1828. The reserve con
tains 640 square acres. The world
lias rarely produced such a grand old
man.—Macon Telegraph.
Pretty Women.—A woman can
not be pretty without health, and
she cannot have health unless all lier
organs perform their functions
promptly. Numbers of them through
out the land, who have heretofore
been pale, dull, listless and sunk into
a deep and settled melancholy have
been restored by Dr. Bellamy’s Ex
tract of Gossypium and are now
sounding its praises in highest terms,
and declare that it has given them
clear, soft, rosy complexions. So by
^storing health to the body and
beauty tp the faded cheek it is a great
er beautifier than all the cosmetics.
