a Splendid Monument.

The monument recently erected by
Mr.. John HassOn over the grave of his
little son, George, in the church yard of
the First Presbyterian Church in Rogers
vile, is decidedly the finest piece of
Workmanship of the kind in this county
The material of which the monument
is constructed was all taken from Mr..
Hasson's own quarry, located five miles
west of town The main structure con-
tains seven blocks, all different from
each other, and all the choicest specimens
of Mr.. Hasson's beautiful variegated
marble, while the little structure at the
foot of the grave is composed of three
more blocks, different from those of
which the monument is composed.
The marble is polished in the highest
possible manner, is as smooth and clear
as mirror. The monument is finely
proportional, and taken altogether is
Splendid structure. The entire monu
ment is the work of Mr.. Hasson's own
hands aided by his two little sons 1t
was labor of love and he would not en-
gage any assistance in the work.
We knew Mr.. Hasson was a Master
Mason, but we had never given him
credit for the genius and practical skill
this piece of workmanship proves him
to possess. The price of such a monu-
ment if bought in the market, would be
five hundred dollars. If our citizens
wish to see a gem in the way of art and
mechanical skill let them visit the
church yard and examine this monu
ment. More beautiful specimens of
marble or a more highly finished piece of
work cannot be found any where.

- The friends of Judge Mckinney
should bevery rvigilant and active from
now until the polls close on the Sd of
August. We believe his election is
sure, but it may be endangered between
now and the day of election Buffers
friends are pressing him now and they
feel confident Of success. He is a willy
politician, . cunning fellow, a shrewd
manager, and if the opposition to him is
divided to any serious extent, his cleo
tion is not beyond the reach of possibil-
ity. Those who have been telling the
people that Butler was not candidate
cannot do so any longer. He Is candi-
date and expects TO be successful. Judge
Mckinney is a popular man; he is a
strong man before the people, but it viii
not do for IFS friends to rely too much
upon fhis personal strength. Lis enc
mics are active and working with tire
less energy. Let McKinney's friends be

The August or g Midsummer Holt

at something new on the part of the pub
fishers, who announce that all the care
that is usually bestowed upon the Christ
mas issue has gone to the making of this
warm weather number. The subjects
dealt with have an out-of-door interest
and the illustrations (of which there are
nearly one hundreD are quite in sympa-
thy with the text. There are five arti-
cles of summer travel: the localities de-
scribed being Niagara, Colorado, Nova
Scotia, the city of Trier on the M0sel,
and Hide-and-Seek Town, New Eng
land summer resort of great attractive
ness, the true name of which is left to
be guessed. There are two remarkable
short stories in the number: The Liv-
ing Mummy" by Tourgueneff, the Rus
sian novelist, (which it is believed has
not before appeared in English), and
Z" Crawford's Consistency" by Henry
James, Jr. OF the serials, "Philip No
lan's Friends" is continued, Bret Harte's
" Gabriel Conroy is concluded (this be-
ing the tenth installment), and Fannie
Hodgson Burnett's That Lass o. Low

begun. The publishers claim that this
is 1.-THE most beautiful number of a mag
azine ever published in this country
and offer it as their contribution to the
g glories of the Centennial year.

-g A gentleman who has been over
most of Hancock county lately, informs
ns that Judge Mckinney will carry that
county by decided majority over both
his competitors. Butler will get some
votes but he is not rs strong for Judge
as he was two years ago for Congress-.
Judge McKiuney's election is looked
upon as an assured fact, but his friends
should not be too confident. Butler is
cunning fox, and he may possibly run
ahead Let every man who does not
want to see Butler on the bench vote
for Mckinney.

Is Col w. W. Willis, Joseph Rog-
ers, Ebert Day, and Sam Edison, from
Clinch, were in our Office one day last
week. They are in fine spirits over the
prospects of good crops this year. The
corn crop was never more f1attering at
this season. An enormous crop of hay
has been harvested. Oats were reason
ably good, and wheat is turning out an
average crop in quantity while the quail
ity is much better than usual. These
gentlemen say a bushel of this years
wheat will make fully six pounds more
-four than a bushel of the best of last
years crop In fact, Mr.. Rogers has
tried the experiment at his mill and the
wheat yielded seven pounds more of a
better quality of flour than he obtained
from the same measure of the Old crop.
We are glad to hear of the prosperity of
our friends North of the mountain.
They are working men and deserve to
be prosperous.

eB The law in regard to the sale or
the giving away of liquor on the cleo

orously enforced at the August election.
Let it be borne in mind that it is as
much a violation of the law to give away
liquor on that day as it is to sell it. We
hope that all candidates and their friends
will remember the law and give their
aid in having it respected and obeyed.
The Attorne General will see to it that
those who disregard this law shall be
punished as they ought TO be.

~ A paragraph was published in the
GAZETTE last spring telling of some old
fellow who always hung rusty iron in
his peach trees to keep the frost from
killing the fruit. A short time after the
paper was read the weather turned cold.
The peach trees were in full bloom.
Around the fire-side Of Stokely D.
Brooks, Esq, of this county, the family
had gathered, and all were talking and
feeling anxious for the fate of the peach
crop. 1t was. the general opinion that
there would be heavy frost that night
and all the peaches would be destroyed,
when one of the boys remarked that he
che would try the. rusty iron remedy on
one tree" and Immediately proceeded
to hunt up old horse-shoes and other
scraps Of iron, which he hung in various
parts of one peach tree. The frost came,
killing nearly. all the peaches in the
country, but that particular tree is to-
day bending under its load of fruit.
This is fact, and is a singular one.
