The people of LaFayette, with com
mendable enterprise, are raising mon

It is reported that several farmers
wore their fingers out scratching for
their cotton seed, trying to tiud wheth
er they will need to plant over or not.
I think they have found out at last, for
quite a number are planting over. We
will get too smart sometimes, and do
things to soon. It seems real hard for
them to be compelled to do this, and
provoking too, but when we think of
God’s promises “that all things work
together for the good of those that love
the laird,” let us take courage and
praise the name of the Lord.—Hogans

The Baptists of the United Kingdom,
according to the English Baptist
“Handbook,” have 2,924 churches
360,112, members, 1,955 pastors, 4,845
local preachers, 3,822 chapels, having

schools. Last year there were 16,113
baptisms.
A light rain, with some hail, fell in
portions of Dry Valley, last Friday,
and light showers fell in other portions
of the county on the same day. Sat
urday and jSunday the weather was
much cooler, and light fro«t was re
ported Saturday night. The weather
for the last week has been exceedingly
unfavorable on planted crops. The
ground is too dry for the quick germi
nation of seeds, and the weather too
cool after they come up for healthy
growth.
The “American Baptist Year Book”
for 1897 shows the total membership
of that denomination in the United
States to be 3,824,038, with 1,567 as
sociations 27,257 ordained ministers
and 40,658 churches. The increase for
the year of membership by baptism
was 172, 433; by experience, 12,560,
and by restoration, 54,885. The de
crease in membership by exclusion was
47,726, by erasure 18,850, by death
31,698, which leaves a net increase of
111,604. The number of Sunday
schools is 23,787, with 164,431, officers
and teachers and 1,590,190 scholars.
There were 504 ordinations, with 289
deaths among tne ministry.
News was received here last Friday
evening of the sudden death of young
Reneau Jones, son of Mr. T. R. Jones,
of Cartersville, who was killed by
lightning at 1 o’clock Friday evening.
He was walking along the street from
school when stricken down by the fa
tal bolt. The lad’s face was terribly
lacreated and parts of his body were
torn by the electric fluid. The tacks
were driven from his shoe and there
was a small hole the size of a match
head in the bottom of his foot where
the bolt left the body and entered the
ground. He was an only son, and his
sudden and tragic death is a grievous
shock to his devoted father and moth
er and relatives. The interment oc
curred at Cartersville Saturday.

Charley Kellett, who two weeks ago
was appointed postmaster at Summer
ville, received his commission last Sun
day and yesterday took charge of the
office. The office has been removed
from the store of T. Hiles A Co., where
it has been for a number of years past,
to the vacant store room of J. S.
Cleghorn's, next door to R. E. Dor
sett’s grocery store. This will be very
convenient to the upper part of town,
but not quite so handy for the lower
part.
In another part of the News will be
found the advertisement of the Nation
al Kitchen Cabinet for which Mr. J. A.
Branner is salesman in this county.
This is a new device, especially inten
ded to lighten the burden of kitchen
drudgery which falls heavily on inan
y housekeepers who are illy able to
bear it. A mere description cannot
give any adequate idea of its merit,
and it must be seen to be appreciated
at its true worth. Mr. Branner will
begin soon to make an active canvass
of the county, and the News bespeaks
for him a careful investigation of the
merits of the National Kitchen Cabi
net.
The last grand jury recommended
that a new bridge be built across the
Chattooga river at or near Trion, M’f’g
store provided the president of the
Co., would bear a certain part of the
expense of building piers etc. The ju
ry were of the opinion that a new
bridge was needed, and having an in
timation that the company would bear
a part of the expense, provided it was
built near the mills, appointed a com
mittee of three consisting of Messrs
W. 11. Penn, I). J. Hammond and J.
M. Hall to confer with A. S. Hamilton,
president of Trion Manf’g Company to
ascertain what he would do in the
premises. We have it from a reliable
source that in addition to building the
piers, other important and valuable
work will be done by the company on
the road, and approaches to the bridge,
and the committee has accordingly
recommended that the bridge be built.
It is quite probable that the work will
be done during the present summer,
and if it is, the bridge will most like
ly be located between the second and
third dwelling east of the mills. A
new road will then be opened up across
the fields and intersect the old road
just north of Penn’s chapel.
The to: chers’ annual institute for
Chattooga county will be held in Sum
merville on the last Monday in June,
which will be the 28th, and continue
tive days. County School Commission
er Jones has very wisely, we think, de
cided to appoint as expert to conduct
the institute, a teacher who lives in
the county and one who is well known
as a capable and thorough instructor,
Prof. W. M. Ransom, of Menlo High
school. Prof Ransom will have gener
al charge and supervision of the insti
tute, but will be assisted by others who
have been appointed to take charge of
certain branches of study. Prof. J. W.
McWhorter, of Trion, will conduct the
exercises one day, his assignment b rig
Geography. Prof. C. C. Benncfield,
of the Grove Level school, will have
the assignment of the theory and prac
tice of writing. Prof. 11. C. Ethridge,
of the Lyerly school, will expound the
studies of Grammer and Reading,
while Prof. J. C. Kinjj, of the Sum
merville school, will conduct the exer
cises one day in History and Orthogra
phy. Prof. Ransom will be called up
on to demonstrate the mysteries of
Mathematics, while other teachers will
be called upon, from time to time to
assist in the various exercises. The
teachers are manifesting unusual inter
est in the approaching meeting, and
the exercises promise to be of more
than usual interest. A full attendance
is desirable, as it is a matter in which
all teacher’s arc directly interested.
