Pay your preachers before they leave. You owe the Lord moie than that.—Au gusta News. Only forty people followed the remains of the wealthiest woman on the continent to their la.-t resting place—which was one individual for every million of dollars of money she owned when living. Henry Garfield, the oldest son of the murdered President, is soon to marry his cousin, Miss Mason of Cleve land, Ohio. Though this has not been a good apple year, Gainesville handles more than she ever did. Chestnuts are very plentiful, and the merchants are shipping them freely. The New York Herald’s Washington correspondent intimates that Hon. James H. Blount, of Georgia, will be Speaker of the Fiftieth Congress.— Georgia is booming. A Grand National Exposition of poul try will be held in Atlanta in Jan'y, 1887. It promises to be the most ex tensive show of the feathered tribe ever collected together on this conti nent. The long spell of Indian summer in central Ohio has ripened a second crop of strawberries and brought violets and lilacs into full bloom in some places, a circumstance never be fore known there in November. The be rries are of good flavor and sell for -30 cents per quart. Twenty five Senators are to be elec - ted who will take their seats on the 4th of March, 1887.

One of the substantial farmers of ' Cobb county went to Marietta the other day and bought six rocking chairs, one for each of the family. When he carried them home and be gan to take them out of his wagon and place them on the veranda of his house, his astonished wife thought that he was going to open a furniture store. As the result of a number of ex haustive tests, it is said that “corn will shrink, from the time it is husked from the field or shock in the Autumn and stored away in well protected cribs, from twenty to thirty per cent, by spring. The soundest and best corn shrinks the least, or twenty per cent. So that forty cents a bushel in the fall is as good to the seller as fifty cents in the spring. Ax Englishman's Receipt for Fattening Animals.—An English farmer after ten years trial, says the following is the best and cheapest food for fattening cattle and sheep: *‘Eight bushels of corn soaked in ten pails of water, two days, then sim uier fox - an hour and then mix with fourteen pounds of coarse cheap su gar. and lastly, mix with cut straw, hay or other fodder.” Will somebody try this and report? Pastures given to excessive mois ture should, as far as possible, be avoided for sheep grazing, excepting in the middle oi the day, when the surface moisture has been dispersed. Such pastures are further dangerous to the health and life of sheep in har boring certain descriptions of snails which carry upon or within their bodies larva? or young parasites which occasion liver rot, a disease quite prevalent in wet seasons, excepting on salt-marshes.

FEARFUL STORY PRINTED IN SAN FRANCISCO. PLANTATION SUPPLIES -AND— Agricultural Implementsl -I have a full stock of- Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties, One Hundred Heavy Shocks of Earthquake -A Mountain Rises From a Lake Two Thousand Feet Deep—Flames Burst From the Phenomenon—The De struction: San Francisco, Nov. 1.—A letter published in this evening’s Bulletin, under date of Apia, Oct, 15, says that authentic news has reached Samoa to the effect that on the morning of Sept. 10 over one hundred heavy shocks of earthquake occurred on the island of Nindfow, and that from the botiom of the lake, which is two thou sand feet deep, a mountain has arisen to the height of three hundred feet above “its surface. Also that this mount lias burst out in flames and thrown out hot stones and sand in such quantities as to destroy two- thirds of the cocoanut trees on the is land. In Samoa light shocks of earthquake occur so frequently now that they no longer cause any alarm. “Hermann” is up to an extraordi nary number of tricks with his nim ble Jiands; but he will never take in as much, or as many to the square inch, as Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup in its big raid on coughs or colds. Exertion Necessary With Coining of Winter. Mouldiness is occasioned by the growth of minute vegetation. Ink, paste, leather, and seeds most fre quently suffer by it. A clove will pre serve ink; any essential oil answers equally as well. Leather may be kept free from mould by the same substances. Thus, Russian leather, which is perfumed with the tar of birch, never becomes, mouldy; indeed it, prevents it from occurring in other bodies. A few drops of any essen tial oil will keep books entirely free from it. For harness, oil of turpen tine is recommended. A good way of using cold mutton is the following: Cut the mutton in thin slices and lav them on a disli covered with parsley, placing a layer of parsley between each layer of mut ton and put in a cool place. Half an hour before the mutton is needed put a piece of butter in a stew pan, the size to be governed by the quantity of meat, and set it on the fire. When melted, sprinkle in gradually a little flour, stirring with a wooden spoon. When thick enough and of a delicate brown, add half a pint of broth, some salt, pepper, slices of pickled cucum bers and two or three mushrooms, and boil for ten minutes. Lay the slices of mutton in the sauce and sim mer for twenty minutes and serve. FREE TRADE. The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Especially is this the case with Green’s August Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advan tage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the siek and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size. * 13 eow. On Tuesday. Oct. 12,1880, the 197tli Grand Monthly distribution of The Louisiana State Lottery came off with its accustomed regularity.

The great success of the Royal Bak ing Powder, is due to the extreme care exercised by its manufacturers to make it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the highest leavening power. All the scientific knowledge, care and skill, attained by a twenty years’ practical experience, are con tributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, precision and exactness. Every arti cle used is absolutely pure. A num ber of chemists are employed to test the strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combination with its co-ingredients, is definitely known. Nothing is trust ed to chance, and no person is em ployed in the preparation of the ma terials used or the manufacture of the powder, who is not an expert in his particular branch of the business. As consequence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest grade of ex cellence, always -pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. Each box is ex actly like every other, and will retain its powers and produce the same and the highest leavening effect in any climate, at any time. The Govern ment Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands in the market, in their reports placed the Royal Bak ing Powder at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness, and thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled.
