F. McCullough. At this place Sunday, both at 11 a.m. and 8p. in., ho proved himself an aide divine, capable of doing a great work among us. Every body near Leary gave their presence Sunday, and went home satisfied that we had fortunately laid hands on ono of the best ministers in the South Georgia conference- He is a graduate of Emory, college, and classmate of Rev. McCul¬ lough’s. His home was formerly in Franklin county, northeast Georgia. This Brother is unmistakably an able and efficient worker for the cause he es ponses. To those who feel an interest ia church work lot us blend out efforts with his and show to tho world that ! churehe is alive to it’s duty and that ! the cause of Christ must be furthered ! a union of Ill's forces.

I f Ga. j i j i O r jp A \ VP j[ | /V \ \T1"\ | T) I y j / [A / to GENERAL NEWS What Skilled Labor ami En¬ terprise Can Do. In the year 1891, two miles north from the beautiful village of Dickey, Mr. E, P. Parkins established on a very small scale, what lias since be¬ come one of the most noted and important industries of Calhoun county. From an attachment at first to a country gin house, the enterpris¬ ing proprietor has developed one of the finest and most thoroughly equipped Machine Shops in South¬ west Georgia. The plant consists of the latest and most improved con¬ veniences for the building and repair¬ ing of engines, and boilers of all classes. It was our pleasure to ac¬ cept an invitation from Mr. Parkins to visit and inspect his works, of which ho is so justly proud, and we unhesitatingly indorse all that has been or can bo said in commendation of the equipment of the shop, and the skill of the proprietor,, under whose almost magic touch, the rough and uncouth iron becomes a thing of beauty and utility. The twin err gines which no w' propel the' vast machinery were built at the shop by the proprietor, and speak more kind¬ ly and forcibly of his skill and genius than volumes of well written lauda¬ tion. In connection with his build¬ ing and repairing conveniences ho keeps constantly in stock a fine sup¬ ply of engine parts and adjuncts. When Mr. Parkins was making his start, he relates, that numerous per¬ sons would visit and look with wondering eves upon what they con¬ sidered one of the most foolish undertakings of the 19th. century, and after repeatedly changing their tobacco from side to side, and dubi¬ ous headshaking, insist that •nothing but financial loss would follow his undertaking. Today Mr. Parkins is strained to his utmost capacity to perform the work with which lie is thronged and is contemplating an increase of his facilities. Upon in¬ quiry, as regards the great amount, of work done and from whence it came 1 was informed that the coun¬ ties of Calhoun, Early, Miller and Baker placed their work and orders iu his hands while other more dis¬ tant sections contributed a flattering share of their work. The above counties represent from one hundred and twenty-five to on o hundred and fifty engines and boilers to keep in running order, which entails an amount of labor and earnings that one may be justly proud, of. Mr. Parkins informs us that when first starting his business, the sum¬ mer portion of one or two years was extremely dull, but now ho is pushed through tho entire year. Ho is now rebuilding two engines complete aggregating sixty horse power, while work requiring minor repairs are stacked in a.i available spaces. i was really surprised at the rapidity and perfection of the work ed in making new and adjusting the many intricate parts of tho tnachin* cry; in fact under tho skilful*manip¬ ulation of Mr. Parkins, “old things become now’’ All the ‘ latest con¬ veniences of hoists and pulleys for the handling of heavy parts, are utilized by the« proprietor, and tho most famed manufactures of tools and appliances have been made tributary to bis demand; In. fact nothing remains to be added, that perfect .satisfaction may bo given iu work and appearance. The tool room-is an apartment to itself containing, twist drills, ream* P OFESSIONAL CARDS. A1OTEI J. J. BECK, tllJSSELWS UV, A3 At avros.G3--A.3sr, gma..

The Parkins Machine Shop is an institution to which the people of tho county may point with pride, and its erection, fine equipments,, and suc¬ cessful! management is a monument to the skill and enterprise of its ed tier. Next Week the Monitor will come out in it’s “new dress.” \ V e are now “laying” the new type which will constitute the “new dress.” Wo have bought a new outfit complete, consisting of a thorough job office, as well as type for tile paper.

Sheffield, of the Pataula circuit, on the bench. Judge Spence having been detained on account of presid¬ ing in Sumpter county last week, did not reach hero until Monday after¬ noon. After Judge Sheffield's Usual able and clear charge to tho Grand Jury, ho proceeded with the call of tho civil docket, and during the day the county vs. C. 11. Geo, former county treasurer, was tried, resulting in a verdict for Mr. Gee, the defend' ant, which would seem to exculpate Mr. Geo as to the shortage of county funds and involve tho former tax collector, Mr. Islor. On Tuesday morning Judge Spence took charge of the court and went on with the civil docket, disposing of a number of motions and miner cases in bis Uncustomed expeditions tnan- The case of Dr. J. B, George vs. J. A. Thornton, suit on contract, was tried, resulting iu a verdict for Dr. George of about tfSOO against defend ant, Mr. Thornton.
