DIED.
Mr. James C. Smith died at his
home three miles north of Tren
ton about 11 o’clock last Saturday
morning. Mr. Smith has been a
physical suffer for the last three
years,and it was only by,an indom
inable will that he prolonged his
life so long. Tho burial took p lace
Sunday, and his body laid to rest
in a place of his own selection, only
a short distance from the dwelling.
A sketch of. his life and a tribute
of respect to a highly esteemed
citizen will appear iu our next is
sue,
S. H. Thurman henceforth should
devote himself to evangelical work.
We have no desire to offend Mr.
Thurman’s modesty, or even tickle
his vanity, but wo cannot forego the
pleasure to venerate the man whose
heart is warm, whose hands are
pure, and whose life exhibits lucid
proof that he is honest in the sa
cred cause; to such we are com
pelled to tender more than mere re
spect. Mr. Thurman would ac
complish great work in the pulpit,
and become a messenger to guilty
men. In language plain, plain in
manner, natural in (gesture, much
impressed, and conscious of his
great charge, and anxious that his
congregation may feel it too; af
fectionate in look and tender in
address,J his words are listened too
with rapt attention,and hearts that
have remained silent to appeals the
most pasionate and earnest are
made to move by the feelings of
his own.
Sanford C. Smith is in town.
Watch out for a phenomenon.
Miss Elsie Reid, of Chattanoog
is visiting Misn Lizzie McLean.

Mr. S. B. Austin preseuted us
with the finest specimen of a wat

have seen,
We received, just before going
to press an interesting communi
cation from Mr. Noah Killian, who
is taking in the Lone Star State. It
will appear next week.
The old-and new hoard of town
commissioners will meet to-moi
row. The meeting is looked for
ward to with interest, as it will de
termine our financial condition.
We have been informed that a
certain community in this coun
ty are becoming dissatisfied
with the manner in which tho
News is being run, and think a
change should be made in the style
of writing. Now if our style does
not suit, and any nervous prostra
tion is liable to follow, we will not
insist on a continuation of yo'
favor, but will excuse you at any
time.
John Cummings seriously cut a
young school teacher by the name
of Smith, five times at Wauhatchie
last Thursday week. The particu
lars as to the cause of the difficulty
cannot be gleaned, but it is iu
mored that Smith made some
slanderous remarks, which re
flected upon Mr. Cummin’s chil
dren, and if the rumors be true, Mr.
Cummins, in our judgment, was
justifiable.
The book entitled ‘ What the
World Believes” now being sold bv
Mr. J. W. Hamic, is a work of great
worth and shows ability in prepar
ation, the unprecedented sale which
Mr. Hamic is having with thisjbook
well merited. The origin of
'•vary religious denomination of
the world is given in detail, to
widen is added the articles of faith
of each.
TRUCK FARMING.
Does it Pay North Georgia?

There is a vegetable garden in
this county that deserves especial
mention, and at. the same time
gives us an insight to what could
be accomplished by close and at
tentive work.
The whole garden in size does
not exceed 16 acres. Here is what
was produced: Five hundred
bushels of onions, 100 bushels of
snap-beans, 100 busheis of beets,
300 bushels of Irish potatoes, and
300 of sweet, 25,000 head of cab
bage, 500 bushels of turnips. Half
acreof tomatoes worth sloo,pepper,
corn, peas, cucumbers, okory in
proportion, besides a good water
melon patch. Now let us see if
this pays: 1500 bushels of onions,
$500; 100 bushels of snap-beans,
S4O; 100 bushels of beets, SSO; 300
bushels of sweet potatoes, $150;
300 bushels of Irish potatoes, $300;
25,000 cabbage lOcts per head,
$250; 600 bushels of turnips, S4O;
half acre tomatoes, SIOO, making a
total of $1,160.
The cost of this was $l4O, out
side of the owners individual work,
and the use of two mules from
March Ist to July Ist, and one
mule from then on. Any farmer
can approximate the net. profits,
and say, does truck farming day.
A BIG BLAZE.
One of the most destructive fires

thousand dollars, Chattanooga
loses some of her hansomest busi
ness blocks, and a loss not soon to
be repaired. Two men lost their
lives, and more are supposed to be
buried in the debris of the rail e 1
buildings.
