The Baptist church, on River street, is |
undergoing needed repairs.

In spite of all his hardships the news

to decide where he will spend the sum-
mer.
Captain Lucas informs us that the
steamer Princess will soon be on the
river again, in as good trim as ever. She

Cows are said to often live to be one
hundred years old in Georgia In this
section, however, a COW over ninety is re-
garded as pretty tough eating.
Mr.. J. T. Dunn has returned to St.
word that he has had enough of mosqui-
toes and sandfies to last him lifetime.
The man who said that the democrats
could only succeed under the lead of

w. B. Cross has an advertisement this
morning of his market, to which we call
attention. He keeps the best of meats,

of special effort, and of that only. This
! truth applies to every department of hui
man labor and enterprise.

this mornings paper, to which attention

''You call this hot day. asked
prominent lawyer yesterday morning.
''Why, I saw Snow in the postOffice this
morning" And gathered ice over a
foot thick" said a druggist standing
near, wiping the Perspiration from his
brow. The lawyer and druggist solemn
| ly shook hands and parted.
The dust could hardly be said to have
been drenched yesterday, but it was
crushed and desolate looking, and it will
rise again. True, it is something else
that the poet said would rise again when
crushed to earth but poets cannot at
tend to rhyme and facts at one and the
same time; all of which means we en-
joyed fine rain yesterday.
We have seen one man who was
pleased with the Chicago nominations
He was lone drunk, struggling through
the sand up toward West End at 1 a. m.
1t seemed to be all up hill with him, and
steep too. He would occasionally pause,
get himself firmly balanced, feebly wave
his hat at the moon, and excIaim:
"Hrah f Blaine! That Slogan for met
and then struggle onward Such is life
