We have at last been blessed
with a good rain, falling Sunday
and Sunday night. 1t came rather
late in the season, but will be a
great advantage even at this late
hour. Those that have stubble
lands to turn this fall suppose are
glad to see it, as it will enable
them to proceed with it at once,
but not much aid to cotton picking
which has commenced in some
places. The cotton crop will be
very short In this part of the vine
yard.

Art Of Martin Onllane

We desire to give the pupils of our
sophomore and freshman grades the
benefit of instruction in drawing and
to that lend offer the opportunity of a
half hour period per day for that pur-
pose at the exceedingly low rate OF
one dollar per month.
Our experience leads US to value such
instructions so highly and our interest
in our pupils is so warm that we earn
estly hope all who can will avail them
selves of this offer. Drawing develops
mind and taste, aids so much in every
other study, is in itself such a useful
science and such a necessary founda-
ton for all future art work, that we can
not refrain from inviting the attention
of our patrons to our studio and Its
opportunities.
Moreover when properly taught it
opens up a new life to the pupil en-
gagged in it and becomes an inspira-
ton, often leading to great practical re-
suits. Said little girl, one of an en-
thusiastic group, gathered about an
equally enthusiastic teacher, ooh, Miss
- I'm so glad you teach me this way,
Pm so glad there is such a nice book"
The book in question gave the laws of
light and shade, and the pupil recog-
nized the truth of these laws, by being
taught to observe the way light fell
on objects in and about the room.
A pupil, taught the same system and
by the same teacher, found on entering
College that his instructions were of in
calculable advantage to him in his
higher mathematics, and after gradua-
ting at Center College, KY, told his
teacher that this same instruction led
him to adopt architecture as profess
sion. He has since taken a two years
course in the Academy of Design, New
York City, has now a profitable en-
gagement in bridge building
The lessons will be given in class,
and will include instruction in straight
and curved lines and their combina-
tions, giving lines, angles, curves and
spaces, their proper geometric names,
also teaching designs for fiat orna-
ments, thus laying a foundation for
decorative art and historic ornament.
We will then take up perspective and
solids, by applying cubic diagrams to
familiar objects, teaching the laws that
govern our vision and every object we
see. This gives foundation for object
drawing, sketching from nature, tech
meal perspective, etc. We will then
study light and shade, aerial perspec-
tive and breadth of effect.
This will train the hands and eyes of
even small children, and enable them
to observe nature with delight, and I'M
derstand the wonderful laws that gov
ern her varied forms.

Brick Church.

The Brick Church community
has passed through one of the
greatest religious revivals that we
have known for years. The meet
ing was conducted by DR.. Atkinson
who is very talented man and an
extraordinary preacher. He was
assisted by the Revs. Ezell, Blan-
ton, Kennedy and Tinnon, who rem
dered great and efficient service.
There were in all about 81 CONVEX
sions, "a connected themselves with
the church, and some that had
back-slidden were reclaimed, and
the whole church renewed. Mr.. j.
b. Jordon of Lebanon lectured on
the great and important subject of
temperance last Monday eve and
Tuesday was a week ago. He is a
noble lecturer and a gentleman of
highest integrity and deserves a
large audience wherever he may
lecture. He organized lodge here
with 81 charter members, which
speaks well of Brick Church. We
know that he is the right man in
the right place. The following Of
ficers were elected: W. I. Marsh,
w. c. T.; Mrs. Annie E. Bugg, w.

awakening. He went Saturday to
Rural Hill after securing several addi-

Miss Alline Dickerson on her re-
turn from New York several weeks

handsome present and Alline prizes it
very highly.
Miss Matte White met with a
serious accident one day last week while
lifting tea-kettle of hot water off the
stove. She accidently dropped it on
her foot, scalding it severely, 1t is
needless for me to say what she did for
we all know the nature of woman to
squall on an occasion like that.
Our community is very much
shocked over the sad intelligence Of
Rev. c. C. Woods death, who died in
Athens, Ala, last week. Only few
weeks ago he stood before US in. the
c. P. church preaching to thoughtless
sinners and teaching the way they
should go.
Mrs. w. r. Grigsby has been quite
ill for the past two weeks but is some
better now.

Salt Rheum OF Eczema.

In April, 1854, there appeared on my
feet and legs what the doctors called
Salt Rheum, which produced intense
suffering. tried a great many RENE
dies, and had the attention of one OF
our best physicians, and received no
permanent relief. The disease contin-
ued to grow worse andSmy limbs were
greatly inflamed. l was finally induced
to try Swift's Specific and after taking
four bottles relief came. ! continue d,
however, until had taken seven bot
ties, and am now sound and well, and
not a sign of the disease left. My gen.

The cyclone which swooped down
on a portion of Central Ohio last
week was the most disastrous event
of the kind that has ever visited
thai section. Although the loss Of
life was not so great as at first
feared. the destruction of property
was even greater. The little town
Of Washington urt-house was al
most wiped out by the wind, only a
pile of debris, with scattering por-
tions of stone or brick walls, re-
naming to mark the site of the
little city. One house was picked
up bodily and whirled completely
out of existence, not stick or stone
remaining to show where it had
stood, The storm was more or less
severe at other points, the tornado's
track being marked for miles by
fallen trees and ruins of dwellings,
barns and out buildings. The loss
is estimated at $I,OO0,000.

The Game of Ball at Columbia.

The Pulaski and Columbia base
ball teams played a game at the
latter place last Tuesday. The Pu-
laskis made IL and the Columbus
0 in the first three innings and it
seemed that our boys had their OPP
ponents badly beaten up to this
time, but an accident, by which Pu-
laski's catcher was disabled, gave
the game to Columbia. Catcher
Notgrass, who up to this juncture,
had done fine playing, in putting
a man out who was trying to make
the home base got a finger caught
between the plate and the runners
foot and it was so badly mashed
that he was compelled to give up
his position. There was no man IN
the club to fill his place and the
Columbus had walk-over.
Whereas they had been skunked
every inning up to this time, they
afterwards made 13 runs in a single
inning. At the close of the game
the score stood: Columbia 30, Pu-
laski 15.
We understand that the return
match will be played here next
