Elk.

With the exception of a little late
sOwn flax the harvert of 1885 is all in
stack and in as good condition us grain
was ever put, for the weather has been
exceptional in every respect for all
kinds OF farm work this season.
Some threshing has been done in this
town showing large yields and u good
quality.
Considerable plowing was done in
August.
We had fine rain last Monday
night, mOistening the ground and
helping the plowing considerable.
We hear a good deal of complaint of
hunters and dogs trespassing with Ut
ter disregard to farmers or their inter-
est. driving through standing grain
and corntields where the farmer is
away or has no gun.
Guy Fellows has built a new granery
16x24.
Frank Turner's new barn is done
and he has started his thresher.
The Coyer boys met with heavy
loss recently, losing three large work
horses. Cause, not known to a Ger
tainty, but new oats had something to
do with it.
Three or four threshers running ut
present in this town, and room: for
more.
We have had several light frosts so
far this month, but the damage is
light, if, any, except to the most ex-
posed vines.
I Fine weather again since the rain
and farmers will put up little more
hay in addition to the large amount al
ready up.

here last Saturday.
Jimmy Stock iale and Mr.. Lewis
were visiting Charley Parloe several
days last week.
Dennis McVoy came near losing his
entire personal property on his farm
two miles east Of town, ono day this
week. A man in his employ went to
tho house with a bad toothache, and
while in the barnyard, lighted his pipe,
and it seems dropped some fire which
eet fire to a hay stack close by. The
stack was about 40 feet long and built
with one end against the stable. Only
for the timely arrival Of James Bar
nett with his water tank which he
uses with his steam thresher, Mr.. Nc.
Voy would have lost everything. The
boys worked bard for some time be-
fore they got the fire under control,
but finally succeeded in putting out the
flames.
Last Saturday night was loud one
in this town. No less than half doz.
fights occurred, and during the fracas
Tom Brazil got u pretty bad gash cut
in one of his legs, several got their
eyes draped in mourning, while others
got their clothes nearly torn off. TAX

Is the name Of a flourishing village in
Coffee county, Ga., on the line Of the
Brunswick and Albany railroad.
Mr.. d. f. Gaskin, a we'll known citi-
zen Of that village, writes under date
of December 22d:
Soon after my marriage, about four
years ago, hy wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex, which
broke down her general health. La this
condition she was soon after attacked
with Inflammatory rheumatism OF
such Il severe type that it made her =
cripple. She was reduced in flesh to
sixty five pounds, and came very near
losing her life. She was attended by
three good physicians who treated her
with some benefit, but the swelling in
her joints never left her. Last summer
the rheumatism turned in /. still more
severe and painful form which seemed
to defy the skill of I'LL the doctors. She
wOnld almost 60 frantic with pain, and
would lie and scream all day. n friend
Of mine. who is al engineer on the
Brunswick 4 Albany railroad suggest
ed that should use Swift's Specific,
5. $. s. which did. After she had
taken one small bottle she was up and
able to walk over the house, and after
taking the six small bottles she is now
able to do any kind Of hOusework; the
swelling has gone, all the pain has left
her, aud she is in better health than
she ever was. The treatment before
using Swift's Specific cost me between
/ $3.50 to $500, and the six bottles of 5.
5. 5. cost me six dollars.
1t is certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier in
the world. The proprietors should let
the world know about it.
