Mr. Starkey, the pastor, de livering an eloquent discourse on the subject of missions. The missionary collection amounted to about nine dollars. We unintentionally failed last week to mention about the new section boss which made its arrival at John Beeins’ recently.

McCullough, of Alpine, has recently had some valuable improve ments made on his residence and farm. By the way, Will is one of our best farmers, always making plenty for his own needs and a surplus to sell to his neighbors. Mr. Bless, who lives on the farm of Capt. Hill’s, in Shinbone valley, is • having a new barn erected and other improvements made on the place. He is a good farmer, and notwithstanding the exceedingly dry year, he will gather a crop this year fully up to the average.* But speaking of goo t farm ers reminds us of his neighbor just up the valley, James Lawrence. He has a very fertile farm, and is continually -adding to it every year. lie conducts his farming on business principles, keeps up good fences, and is making money out of his farm. There is one i thing, however, that we can't under-1 stand about Jim, and that is, why he | don't get married.

With the exhilarating sense of renewed health and strength and internal cleanliness, which follows the use of Syrup of Figs, is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old time medicines and the cheap substi tutes sometimes offered but never accepted by the well informed.

Menlo, Ga., Sept. 27th, ’9e. i Ow' Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are nos due to any actual dis ease, but simply- to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness' without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- : fieial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle. which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by i all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one ; may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative. One should have the best, and with tl ic ; well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Kgs stands highest and is most largely Rsed and gives most general satisfaction. LYERLY, GA. Politics are plentiful just now and one meets candidates at every turn of the road. A certain farmer near here met a Populist candidate a few days ago, when the latter solicited his support. The farmer replied that he was a Dem -ocrat and would support Mr. Shrop shire, the Democratic nominee, where upon the Populist replied: don't see how the people can ever get the reforms they want by voting for law yers.” And he turned his mule a right about face and rode away. This amusing if not ridiculous state ment on the part of the Populist can didate suggests a thought or two that is appropriate just now. If it is true, as indicated by him, that a lawyer is ! totallv unworthv of trust, how does it happen that the Populists have as their candidate for governor, a lawyer? And how does it happen that Lawyer Tom Watson is their candidate for vice pres ident? And why did they nominate Lawyer Hines as their candidate for 1 governor two years ago? As a matter of fact the only members of the Popu list party south who have any consul- I erable amount of ability are lawyers, I and yet our Populist friend is going round seeking to prejudice the minds | of the people against lawyers, when he himself, is a strong supporter of Scab , Wright and Toni Watson. Such ridi culous inconsistency is too absurd and ■ funny for anything. Wonder if he really hopes to fool anybody by such cheap clap trap? If he does Im is nns- : taken, that’s all. Farmer.
