An unusually large attendance as¬
sembled at the Baptist church on the
first Sabbath in tb s month to hear the
dedicatory sermon from Rev. W. H.
Cooper, of Cuthbert but that gentle¬
man had been Providentially preven¬

still in a critical condition and the
doctors say there is no hope for her
recovery.
Our farmers are advocating ‘‘bog’’
for Governor (of their farms) and
‘‘corn” for Congress. We heartily
endorse their candidates.
Fishing Tackles of all kinds at Ew-
tf
Pace & S> a are putting iu place
machinery for siwing Lthes and
other thin material. This will be an
important addition to thei v nulls and
one, we think, that will prove profit¬
able.
Two or three of our farmers sent iu
some cotton blooms last week, but
there were so many others who were
far ahead of them that we know they
would not like for their names to be
mentioned.
Our young friend Jhonnie Lane,
who has been studying telegraphy for
some time under Mr. C. O. Hampton,
has been tendered a position at Blake¬
ly, and will take charge of that of¬
fice by the first of July.
Diu-iug the past two weeks Mr. C
S. Harris has had tho misfortune of
losing a mule and horse. This is a
considerable loss, especially at this
season of the year, when they are so
much needed in the farm, j
A few of our farmers report lies in
their cotton, but not enough ns yet to
do much damage. AVe would not be
surprised if some disaster yot befalls
the cotton crop. It is not often that
we make a good crop of everything.

not suffering, were quite refreshing to
man, beast and crops. Tho clouds at
times were threatening and looked
very much like there were “sly coons 11
in them.
The Methodist church of this place
has purchased a splendid organ from
an Atlanta house, aril it arrived last
Thursday week. 8120 was the price
paid for it. It will prove a great aid
andinprovemeut in the music we have
been accustomed to.
Miss Lillie Buchanon, who has been
visiting friends in Arlington during

At their last meeting, the County
Commissioners of Baker county plac¬
ed the liquor license in that county to
§1,000 per annum. AVe notice in a
letter to the Cuthbert Enterprise,
from Newton, that the citizens of that
place are much pleas’d with the act,
and it is thought they were instru-
mental in having the license placed
at this high figure.
Our readers were disappointed
week in not receiving the Advance,
but it was unavoidable oa our part.
AVe could not get our print piper tin-
til after it was too late to issue the
Advance for last week. AVe always
order paper on a certain day, and
this time did not vary our rule, and
the cause of delay i n its shipment is
unknwnto as. These hindrances will
occur to the best regulated establish-
rneuts, and we hope our reader will
consider Ibis and pardon us.
Kind Rememberance of Friends.
On last Saturday wo were riie
recipients of a box of asfiiue vegatnbles
as we have seen any where—large,
hard, white-head cabbage, weighing
over six pounds, huge beets, potatoes,
cucumbers, ouioas, etc. 7 hey wore
sent to us by Messrs. Jas.- Keel and
Sid Cook, from Wiliamsburg, as spec-
imens of their experimental garden¬
ing, and prove, conclusively, that
these gentlemen, as grandeners, are a
success. SiJ is not yet married, and
if some nice young lady don't set her
cup we will always think it was for the
lack of good taste. “Surely,“Sid anys,
“they could get meat and bread if I
furnish us flue vegetables as these,“
Mr. Bob Brown is certainly in the
lead on water melons. He brought
to town a wagon load of very fine ones
on Wednesday last, and says lie has
several wagon loads ripe. Thanks for
the one left at this office.
Mrs. Collier, who lives near Blake¬
ly, sent us a white head cibbage this
week that weighed 81 pounds and
measured 11 inches across the hard
head. It was the finest we have seen
this year and would be a sight, at any¬
body's fair. Please accept our thanks,
Mrs Collier.

Willie Boynton for a peck of fine

Capt. It. H. Lauier is as good gard¬
ener as farmer; at least,lie. k nows how
to ru ike large beats. The one he sent
ns last week weighed four and a
half pounds, Who can beat that?
Our local is in receipt of some toma¬
toes,four of which tip the beam at 21
lbs. They were raised by one of Early

Returned Wi’h The Small-P-x.
Many of our readers are acquainted
with Mr. Jessie Mercer, who was en¬
gaged in reading law at this place un¬
der Col. AVooten, a few months since,
and who subsequently went on a pros
peering trip out AAVst. It was only a
few weeks ago that the News and Ad¬
vertiser published an interesting com¬
munication from him fiom Salt Lake
City. AVe trust there may be a mis¬
take iu the following which wo clip
from tno Johnpreville correspondent
of the Americas Recorder:
Some of our people are what you
might call 'skeeved' now. The arriv>!
of the small-pox in Webster has cau.s-
el a great deal of excitement. Mr,
Jessie J/ercer returned home from
Texas about a week ago with small pox
Dr, John Alston, who has treated
many cases, say they are genuine.

More wool has been brought to this
market this season than any oao be¬
fore during our knowledge of the
place. This is a cheering indication,
Good prices are obtained. — Cuthbert
Appeal.
Yes, but when we were there this
week we saw a Calhoun county man
trying to make a sale of some of the
fleece, but he said he was only offered
20 cents when Arlington waspaying28
cents. He did not sell iu Cuthbert,
and right here let ns say to our farmers
that when they want a good price for
their produce or want lo buy goods
cheap they should always come to
Arlington.

AVe spent a pleasant little while at
the home of Dr. Murchison the other
day, and while there were shown
through his garden and patches. Now
you talk about your corn crops, tho
Doctor has an acre patch that will do
to brag on. Competent judges say it
will make at least fifty bushels, if not
more. You ought to see it, and learn
from the Doctor how he makes it. He
also has a good garden, all going to
show that he knows something about
farming as well as physic.
At the last meeting of the Commit
sionera of R. and R-, when Mr. Fain
was looking over Dr. B’s account for
“pauper practice, ” he objected to
paying for anything more than tbe
prescriptions and physic, arguing that
the patients could pay back the visits
themselves. If this fa the way the

the Paris (Ky.) Kentuckian:
J. AV. Calhoun, writes from Arling¬

Around Miilford the crop prospects
are fine, with the exception of a farm
now and then having too much grass
and weeds for tho good of its country.
Charles Ivey has a peculiar variety
of rye he found growing wild, and
very small, which he has l?lant improv¬
ed for grazing purposes. it tho
first year and after then you have a
pasture the world can't beat for years
to come. Shy lock knows, for he has
seen it. AVith cultivation it improves
wonderfully. Cut it dowu to the
ground and it comes again the same
s eaaon. Stock of all kinds eat it in
preference to any other forage. It
resembles the common rye, with the
exception of its being perennial—
growing every winfer from the stubbie
If Charles will only save me the seed
he promised me, that red cob, gourd

and grabbed him back of the neck,
and ho had to throw down his gun and
clap his—.Well, Charles can finish it.
IN CALHOUN.

the best farmers in the State, All

extraordinary. He is also ahead on

Old Fashioned Mother.
Thank God, somo of us liavo an old
fashioned mother. Not it woman of
the period, enameled and painted,
with her great chignon, her curls and
bustle, whose white, jeweled hands
never felt the clasp of baby fingers;
hut a dear old fashioned, sweet voiced
mother, with eyes, in whose clear
depth the love light shone, and brown
hair just threaded with silver lying
smooth ii] on her faded cheek. Those
dear hands worn with toil, gently
guided our tottering steps in child¬
hood, and soothed our pillow in sick¬
ness, ever reaching out to ns in yearn¬
ing tenderness. Blessed is tho mem¬
ory of an old fashioned mother. It
floats to us now like the beautiful per¬
fume from some wooded blossoms.
The music of other voices may bo
lost but the entrancing memory of
hers will echo in our souls forever.
Other faces may fade away and he
f. rgotton, but hers will shine on.
When in tho fitful pauses of busy life,
o in¬ feet wander back to the old home-
stead, and ciossing the well worn
threshold, stand once more in the room
so hallowed by her presence, how the
fee ling of ch ildish innocence and de¬
pendence comes over ns, and we kneel
down in molten sunshine streaming
through theopen window—just win re
long years ago, we knelt by our rnot.li-
er‘s kneo lisping,‘Our Father. 1 How
many times, when tho tempter lured
us on, has the memory of those sa--
ciied hours of that mother's words
and faith and prayers, saved us from
plunging into the deep abyss of sin.
Years m ly fill great drifts between
her and us, but they will not hide
from our sight the glory of her pure,
unselfish love.
R, M. Johnson, who runs a small
