ARMOR TO LECTURE AT BAPTIST CHURCH. Mrs. Mary Harris Armor State Or ganizer of the W. C. T. U., will lecture at the Baptist Church; Dec. 20th., at 7 o’clock. Mrs. Armor has lectured in most'every state in the union and has an international reputation as a speaker, j ‘‘Probably not since the days of Frances E. Willard, the great found er of the world’s W. C. T. U., has there- appeared a woman of such inborn elo quence and marvelous power to sway the multitudes with the mighty two- •dged sword of truth as Mrs. Mary Har ris Armor, President of the Georgia Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Her burning 3atiro and sparkling wit, her mighty grasp of truth, her perfect ly natural and unaffected way of presenting it, born of desperate earnest- noss, her magnetic personality, and above all her absolute faith in God, make her one of the most powerful fac tors on the American continent in the overthrow of the liquor traffic.Nash ville Tennesseean, Nov. 11, 1907. •■VTAtrttaai-v.ru xmsnwa The negro Jule Daggett, or kin, arrested for the killing of Mr. Zach Kendrick at Delph, has irnplicatee two other negroes Henry Henderson and Eli Cobb, who have been arrested and lodged in the Appling Jail. Daggett claims that he met the two negroes shortly after the killing and that they told him and another negro they had killed Mr. Kendrick and that j apl en did wife they gave him and the other negro $2.00 J litt)e home a piece to keep their month shut. The negro who Daggett or Lampkin, implicatad as having been with him, was arrested, but upon investigation it was found that he knew nothing of the affair, and he was released. The officers now believe that Lamp- kin, is the negro who killed Mr. Ken drick, and that there will be but little trouole in convicting him. Robbery is supposed to have been the motive, as there was no ill feelings between the two, as far as can bo learned.

The manager of the Southern Bell Telepnone Co., is now delivering their new telephone directory at Thomson. Tho directory is neat and attractive in appearance, and contains the additional names and the changes in listings and numbers that have occurred since the issue of the last directory. The in creased number of subscribers attests the growing demand for the modern utility in our daily business and social life. For the business man it supplies the place of an extra office assistant; for the busy housekeeper it simplifies the question of marketing; and in the social life it is an acquisition of unpar alleled usefulness and resource in count less different ways and emergencies. » HEARING TO HAVE PARSONAGE. The village of Bearing is soon to have a Methodist parsonage. Active work along that line has been going on for i some time and last, week Dr. F razier, j presiding cider, addressed a massmcct- J ing at that place and $300 was sub- I scribed. A lot next adjoining the church property has been donated by | Mrs. Winburn, and with the lot and | $300 subscribed, the parsonage is near- | ly in sight.

Davis, known to his friends here as “Seab” was seriously injured in an accident on the Georgia Railroad Monday afternoon near Clarkston. He was in charge of the engine pulling the fast train from Atlanta to Augusta and was moving along at lively speed [when one of the parallel bars on the driving wheels broke and the end attached to the wheel next to the cab of the engine struck it with terrific force, demolish ing one side of the engine cab and breaking a number of the steam pipes which allowed the steam to escape in the cab with great force and in large quantities. The fireman jumped for bis life and escaped with only slight in juries, but Mr. Davis had to apply the air brakes and after doing so hung to his engine as long as possible. He was badly scalded about the face and neck and his hands were almost cooked. When he fell from tho engine he suffer ed a number of sprains and bruises, but he is now doing well in a hospital at Augusta and no serious results are feared. The breaking of a paraded bar is one of the most dangerous accidents in railroading and frequently results in the wrecking of the train. MULE BUSINESS LIVELY. The sale of live stock opened up soon er than usual this season, and already considerable business has been done in that line in Thomson. Conditions were favorabie for the trade by reason of a little more corn than usual, and a little more money than usual. Moreover, there lias been more winter plowing than usual. Some of the new muies have been put to turning over the land they will cultivate next year, and when work time comes the land will be in better condition and the mule will be “seasoned. ” HOG KILLING TIMES. The recent cold weather ha3 afforded a fine opportunity for killing hogs and most all who wore fortunate enough to own one have availed themselves of it. It is a fact that there were few in Mc Duffie this year, but the large coni crop made enabled those who owned them to feed them well with the result that the average weight is larger than usual. It is thought that the same condition wiH r.ot exist again vs a large number of farmers are now ■ : ..a “.aivc SENOR ANBONEGUI TO PLAY HERE.

The usual services were held at the Baptist church last Sunday. The Sun day school was not as well attended as usual, caused perhaps, by the weather.
