Albany Postmaster Injured.
Postmaster H. F. Brimberry,
of Albany, was seriously injured
Saturday night when his buggy
collided with a farm wagon in that
city, throwing him to the pave¬
ment and rendering him uncon¬
scious for several hours.
According to the Albany Her¬
ald, he was returning from the
country about six o’clock, driving
a spirited horse, and as a rain
storm was in progress, the animal
was being allowed to travel his
best. The evening was very dark
and Mr. Brimberry did not see a
farm wagon approaching. He ran
into it, demolishing his buggy and
when picked up some time later
was apparently in a dying con
dition. He did not regain con
sciousness until Monday, when the
physicians decided that his inju¬
ries were not as serious as at first,
thought audit is now believed that
he is out of danger and will recover
rapidly.
Later —Mr. Brimberry’s condi¬
tion took a sudden change for the
worse Wednesday and he died as
a result of his injuries. Cerebral
hemorrhage following concussion oi
the brain was the cause of his
death, which occurred at 12:80
o’clock.
Mrs. Nannie Brimberry and Mr.
C. F. Brimberry, of this city went
up to Albany Wednesday night to
attend the funeral, which took
place yesterday at 11 o’clock.
Cotton Crop Almost a Disaster.
According to a recent report of
the National Gilmers Association
up to October 18th 5,320,000 bales
of cotton had been ginned, or near¬
ly a million bales less than was
ginned in this period last year.
The report says:
“As the heavy ginning of Sep¬
tember was kept up the first week
in October, the falling pff has
nearly all come in the last half of
the latter month.
“The crop is 70.7 picked, com¬
pared with 54.5 last year at this
time, and indicates almost a crop
■•disaster, except in Georgia and the
Oarolinas, where the crop is better,
but not as good as expected a
month ago. The yield is reported
disappointing in all sections of the
belt, probably due to smallness of
the bolls. Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas have the shortest
crop ever grown, and will total a
little over half of last year’s crop,
while last year’s crop is not much
better.”
Both Boys Saved.
Louis Boon, a loading merchant of
Norway, Mich., writes: “Three bottles
of Foley’s Honey and Tar absolutely
cured my boy of a severe cough, and a
neighbor’s boy, who was so ill witli a
cold that the doctors gave him up, was
cured by taking Foley’s Honey and Tar.”
Nothing else is as safe and certain in
results. Spence Drug Co.
Are You Bilious ?
Dodson's Liver-Tone is the Medicine
Yon Need.
It is a remedy that has been tried and
tested in all forms of billiousuess, and
has proven to be the best liver medicine
known. It is purely vegetable, and has
the advantage of calomel in that it po
sesses all the medicinal virtues of calo¬
mel without the bad effects. It is per¬
fectly harmless, pleasant tasting, and
causes no restriction of habit or diet.
We recommend Dodson's Liver-Tone
because we know it to be superior to
any other liver medicine. Take it on
this guarauteee, and if, for any reason,
you are not satisfied, come to us and get
your money back. Spence Drug Co.

What One Farmer Did.
In the history of one Colquitt
county farmer, lately migrated
from North Georgia, lies an exam¬
ple that is worth more than much
preaching when the lesson of
thriftiness and preservanee are con¬
cerned. But ther’s another lesson
and that deals with the reward
South Georgia holds out to the
thrifty. Our dispatches lately
told this man's story. It is a con
Crete example; there are no gene¬
ralities to be misconstrued. And
it is typical of many.
This farmer unable to make a
comfortable liviug in North Geor¬
gia, turned southward. Near
Moultrie he determined to settle
with his large family. He rented
a two-horse farm, sixty acres, pay¬
ing $5 an acre rent. That was a
year ago. He planted forty acres
in cotton, aud had .to plant three
times before a crop was in prospect.
His boys helped him with the
plowing and his girls joined father
and son in the cottonfield when
picking time came. He has not
had an exceptional cotton year,
yet he has marketed twenty-four
bale*and will probably run this
total up to thirty one before the
picking season ends. He has not
spent a dollar for gathering his
crop, though every member of his
family have worked hard to save
this expense. He has paid the bill
for his fertilizer; he has paid the
rent, on his farm and his living ex¬
penses for the year. Besides that
he has a sprouting bank account.
Probably in this man’s exper¬
ience lies the cause, the effect of
which is found in the constantly
growing number of individual
land owners in South Georgia re
cruited from the ranks of tenants.

Form New Association.
The most important business be¬
fore the Mercer Baptist Associa¬
tion in session at Cairo this week
was the withdrawal of the follow¬
ing churches from the association,
who called for their letters with
the statement that it was their
purpose to form a new association,
as this would allow the reaching
of a new territory, and be produc¬
tive of greater good:
big Creek, Big Ochlocknee, Cool
idge, Enoch, Little Ochlocknee,
New Ochlocknee, Pine Park, Mer¬
rillville, Ochlocknee, Friendship.
In addition to these churches
Barnet Creek has withdrawn from
the Bowen association and Midway
church from the Tucker Associa¬
tion in order to enter the new as¬
sociation. The new Shiloh church
which has recently been organized,
will also go with the new associa¬
tion.
Wednesday after the third Sun¬
day in November was appointed
for a meeting at Ochlocknee to ef¬
fect the organization.

Supper at Bacontou.
For the purpose of school repair
the officers and members of the
Bacontou Dramatic Club have ar¬
ranged to give an oyster supper
in the High School Auditorium, on
Friday evening, Oct. 29th. Not
only the club but Baconton cor¬
dially invites all friends to attend
and enjoy an elegant supper, and
encourage a worthy movement.
They are especially desirous for
visitors from Camilla and Pelham;
remembering the kindness and loy¬
alty with which these towns re¬
ceived them last winter when they
offered the play “Between the
Aets” that gave much credit to
their ambition.
The various committees having
this oyster supper in charge are
looking closely after every matter
that would tend to make the oc¬
casion a success, aud promise pleas¬
ure to the public aud profit to the
school.
Bera< mber they wish you to
come with your friends and come
with your “pocket change.”

Wellington’s Self Control.
One of the beat stories of self control
is told of the Duke of Wellington, who
In the peninsular campaign was sit¬
ting at breakfast with Pletoo and otb
er officers just before the engagement.
Orderlies were riding up to the tent
every few minutes with news of the
steady approach of the enemy. The
duke did nnd said nothing, but by the
knitting of bis brows was supposed to
be deep in thought. Presently he turn¬
ed to his companions nnd said: "Was
your egg well cooked. Picton? Mine
was abominable.” The “Iron Duke”
was not careless of the issue of the
battle about to be fought, but had
made his arrangements long before and
knew exactly how the enemy would
advance and how to counteract it.

A Curious Needle.
A curious needie was once in tbi
possession of Queen Victoria. It wa
made at the celebrated needle factor;
at Iledditch and represents the columi
of Trajan in miniature.
This Homan column is adorned wit]
numerous scenes in sculpture, and oi
the needle (which was presented to tb
queen on her visit to the famous fat
tory in December, 1864) scenes in he
life are presented in relief, but si
small that it requires a powerful mag
nifying glass to see them clearly.
This “Victoria” needle can, more
over, be opened and contains a numbe:
of needles of smaller size, which ari
also adorned with scenes in relief.
