The Crops.
Tho cottou crop of this section is
said to be as fine as cverwas seen at
this season of tho yeat. It is growing
nicely, to a pretty height, and blooms
can be found in almost and field that
was planted at the proper time.
Corn is looking tolerably well,
that nronnd town is consider good,
though this crop in a great many in-
stances has been neglected for cotton,
However, the prospectk are yet good
for an average crop with seasons and
proper cultivation.
The oat crop was not as good as it
promised to be a short time back.
Some of it headed so close to the
ground that it could not be cut. It is
quite a loss to our farmers* as they
were counting heavily on it as a
substitute for corn, and expeeially the
damaged corn that tin y have been forc¬
ed to use.
Farmers below and above here have
been suffering a great deal for rain;
some say they have not had a good
season in five and six weeks, but, from
the looks of the clouds,they have been
tlioughly ivet this week. Those near
town have been bountifully blessed,
having bad one or more good seasons
every week for the past four or five
weeks.
Remember the Place.
There is a drug store ou Depot street,
Nice, pretty, good, aud kept very neat.
Those two men are yet alive,
And to suit the people they do strive.
Butler & Gee to Mr. C. did say
Fon’t you want some of that drug yon
bought ?
Yes: oh, yes; I'll be ’round to-night,
For the last I bought was just all right.
Now, good people, when you come to
town,
Don’t forget whore we can be found.
Our slock is fresh; just the best in the

And we’ll sell you goods just as cheap
as we can.

Tribute to Mr*. W. L. Curry, by her
Bible Class of the Millford Baptist *
Sunday School-
Death loves a shining mark. In his
recent visit to our community he has
robbed us of the brightest ornament
of our society, and our best, noblest
specimen of Christian excellence.
Having enjoyed the faithful instruc¬
tion, warm friendship and wholesome
counsel of Mrs. Curry for many
months, we, as a bible class, feel anx¬
ious to give expression, though it may
be imperfectly, to the deep sense of
loss and great sorrow of soul we feel at
her sudden and untimely death.—
Therefore be it
Resolved, 1st, That we bow submis¬
sively to the will of Him who gave aud
who hath taken away.
2nd, That in the death of Mrs.
Curry we have lost a capable, earnest
an d faithful teacher.
3rd, That we sympathize most deep¬
ly with the family and kindred of our
beloved teacher, especially with her
bereaved husband, who, of all others,
feels most keenly the fearful blow, and
with the Church of which she was so
active and useful a member.
4th, That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished the family of our depart¬
ed teacher and friend, and that other
copies be sent to the papers of the
vicinity for publication.

“Blakely” Again.
j Messrs, Editors:
In the last issue of the Early County
Ken's, my attention was called to an
article under the cuptiou of “Wlfere
hurt you boy?’’ and as my article in
the last Advance elicited this remark
I feel it justly incumbeut ou me to
give him a diagnosis of tuy case, and,
if there tie a physician there, receive
some healing balm to cure tuy aching
pains.
In the liegining, I must assure the
young scribbler that it is not in the
spirit of retaliation that I reply, and,
though he has shown a disposition to
bigotry and conceit, I will indulge
him in his weakness, and let him
“shake his empty noddle’’ as he will.
If ha had been otherwise than “fool¬
ish in tho head,” ho would have ‘dis
claimed any intention to pass a slur
on Arlington or her physicians’’ aud
stopped, but he is so devoid of char¬
ity, that crov?uing virtue of tho hu¬
man heart, that he must forsooth re¬
peat the same tiling, iu the vain hope
of immortalizing himself as a writer.
In the News of tile 20th ho says (I
quote him verbatim, el literatim) “the
doctors nro all farming—planting corn
enough to feed their horses and
making enough money out of tho peo¬
ple on the other side of Spring Creek
to live on.’* Now iu order to show
how inconsistent is his denial, I will
reiterate my first remark, atul ask any
candid mind to discover the difference.
L said “the writer of that brilliant arti¬
cle said mapy things of which ho knew
nothing, and especially when he says
Blakely physicians make a living by
practice in those districts more accessi¬
ble to Arlington plujsveians." Not¬
withstanding my mode of expression
is different, the idea is the same,and if
this side of Spring Greek is not
“a district more accessible to Arling¬
ton physicians,” I would like for tlmt
young genius (?) of the quill to tell me
wherein my error lies. Ho says: “I
disclaim any intention to cast slurs
upon Arlington or her physicians,’’and
follows this apology with the remark
“Unit a physician here has about one
patient a week from a vicinity nearer
[not more accessible but nearer] tiiat
city than this.’’ He must, therefore,
acknowledge one of two things—that
this is intended as a “slur upon Ar¬
lington aud her physicians,” or that
the vicinity of which ho speaks is
more accessible to Blakely than to
Arlington' though nearer the latte!
point. *pOb, consistency, thou art a
jewel]!” cays that ho saw through
the Advance that Prof. Smith had
closed his school on account of sickness
thus conveying the idea that there
are local causes in Arlington sufficient
to germinate and keep alive disease of
so extensive ft nature as to close up a
school. Now here is what he saw:
“Owing to the prevalence of measles
among the scholars, Prof Smith will
close his school this week without the
usual closing excrsises.’’ The measles,
being a contageous disease, are liable
to spring np and assume an epidemic
form iu any atmosphere, whether it be
in Arlington or on the Blue Ridge; but
the Advance does not say that he
closed his school on account of meas¬
les even, but only states that he
closed it without the usual exercises
which implies the fact that he intend¬
ed to close it any haw, but omitted
the exersises because some of the chil¬
dren had measles and could not pre-
pare themselves.
In conclusion, I must ackowledgo
my oversight in the word “height,’’and
do bow most thankfully to the little
mind that lias shown a better discern¬
ment in small things than judgment in
large ones. Now, as he 1ms seen fit to
counsel me, I would urge him to study
Beadles’ works,as its capacity for the
corruption of the purity of our lan¬
guage into slang will afford him
a keen delight.

What that Stir was About.
Editors Advance:
As you are in the news business,per¬
haps you would like to know what all
that stir in town lust Monday was
about. Well, sir, it was the departure
of the “Fir, Fin and Feather Club,”
bound for ihe far-famed fishing
grounds at Couch’s Mill.
After about eight hours’ drive in a
heavily loaded wagon,beneath a scorch¬
ing sun and sultry atmosphere, we ar¬
rived at the beautiful banks of the
Nocbaway,distance,hot , T , ,. . , , weather and - all „
considered, about 1,800 miles (they
call it 18, but that's when the weather
is pleasant and you have a light buggy
and fast horses.) A little reconoiter-
ing showed us a flue bluff, well shaded,
and about one hundred feet above the
water. This was proposed for our
camping ground, and a more delight¬
ful place could not have been found,
but some one discovered signs of au
old grave yard,and raised an objection
to the spot on that account. But tin;
Doctor as«m <1 us he had ones Jived
right alongside of a largo grave yard,
and lie never had such pleasant neigh-
hors anywhere; in fact, you couldn’t
pick a quarrel with them ns how.—
This assurance satisfied us, and in n
few moments we had unpacked, ham-
mocks swung, and everybody was
ready for business, which business was
ii&hing. The boys scattered along
the mill dam and banks of the creek.
After dark they began to come into
camp, one at a time,with various luck,
same had none, some a few and some
flue strings of fish, which were turned
over to the cook. We had gathered
around in groups to while away the
timo until supper was ready. About
this time our pleasant little game of
euchre was disturbed by the cook,who
came rushing up, with eyes dilated and
hands outstretched, saying, “Oh, gen¬
tlemen, wo are camping right in a
grave yard 1” Now this was not exact¬
ly true, for we were only along sido of
it, and we succeeded in alloying his
fears, and all went smoothly on.
That night wo sank sweetly to rest,
lulled by the roar of the cataract tint
leaped and tumbled over the rocky
dam into the limpid stream below and
went laughing down, down, down to
the great blue ocean.
Upou the whole, we had a most de¬
lightful time and a good supply of fish.
I will not say wo are strictly first-rate
fishermen, but when you find a crowd
out of whom you can squeeze more un¬
adulterated fun and real enjoyment
yon will have to leave Arlington.—
There is not ono of the crowd, I ven ¬
ture to say, who wool 1 not willingly
take the same trip again.
And now in conclusion, in behalf of
the “Fir, Fin and Feather Club,’’ T
desire to return thanks for conrfecies
received to that big hearted, good Ma¬
tured Bill Jeter, and if ho takes a uo-
lion to run for the Legislature, we
recommend him for the moat perse¬
vering bait-digger we ever saw. We
owe our thanks, also, to that clever
merchant, Mr. Reed, for his politeness
and attention, and last but not least,
to that polite and polished young gen¬
tleman, Mr. Theaycr. for the tender
of in's fish-trap, trout-lines, etc.
Now, Old Nochnway. farewell.

About the City and th« Suburb*
Colonel Avery’* New Book.
“H. W, G.” in Atlanta Constitution.
Col I. W. Avery has about ready for
the press what must provo to lie a
most entertaining book. It is a histo¬
ry of the past twenty five years in
Georgia, modeled somewhat after the
“Memories” of Col. W. H. Sparks.-—
Hardly formal and steady enough
for history, it will bo more consequen¬
tial than mere personal gossip. It is a
shame and blot npon the name of our
State that we have no complete
history recounting the deeds of her
sons, tho progress of her insti¬
tutions or the wisdom and sincerity
of her life. As there seems to be no
prospect for getting such a work as a
whole the next best tiling to do is take
it in sections or scraps.
The period selected by Cononel
Avery covers the most dramatic part
of Georgia’s history. It covers the
lurid and turbulent days that preced
ed the war between tho .States—the
whole of that war itself, in which from
the first to last Georgia loro a con
8picnous part, furnishing many of its
leaders and tho theater for its most
terrific and decisive struggles—the
strenuous and bitter contest over re
construction that followed, and the
glorious era of rehabilitation in which
we are now living. Indeed Colonel
Avery has the elements and opportu¬
nity for the making ot a great book
one that will live to the honor of his
State and himself.
The Age of the Earth.
The age of the earth is placed by
some at five hundred million years,
by others one hundred million years,
and still others of later time, among
them the D ike of Argyll, places it at
ten millions years. None place it
lower than ten million, knowing what
processes have been gone through.
Other planets go through tho same
process. The reason thatotln r planets
differ so much from the earth is that
tiny fire in a so much earlier or later
stago of existence. The earth must
become old. Newton surmised, al¬
j though he could give no reason for it,
that the earth would at ouc time lose
all its water and become p»• if .'fly
dry, Since then it has been found
that Xc\vton was correct. As the
earth keeps cooling it will become
porous and great cavities will be found
iu the Interior, which will take m the
water. It is estimated that this pro-
cess is now in progress, so far that
the water diminishes at about the
rate of the thickness of a sheet of
writing paper each year. At this rate
in 6,030,000 years, the water will have
sunk u mile, aud in 15,000,000 years
every trace of water will have disaps
peared from tho face of (ho globe,
Tho nitrogen and oxygen in the at
mosphere are olso diminishing all tho
timo. It is an appreciable degree,
but the time will eomo when the air
will be so thin that no creatures wo
know could breathe it aud live; the
timo will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the period
of old age, and then will come death.
