-DIED.-Our community was shocked
on Tuesday morning to learn of the death of
our fellow-townsman, Mr. LukeS. Northcutt
which occurred at his home Monday night
| about II o clock Mr.. Northcutt was on
our streets Monday afternoon apparently in
good health and no one apprehended his
| sudden demise. Heart disease is attributed
as the cause. He was one of our Oldest cit
liens and is well-known throughout this Sec
ton. He has been engaged in merchandise
ing in this place the best part of his life I'M
til the present year. Mr.. Northcutt was
about 81 years of age and had been mar
ried three times, his third wife surviving
him. He leaves several grown sons and
daughters to mourn his death, to whom we
extend our sympathy. His funeral was held
at st. James Episcopal Church. Tuesday af-
ternoon at 5 o'clock, Rev. C. C. Leman
officiating.
-DIED-On Sunday night last, in this
place, Mrs. Mary, wife of Mr. James T.
Barnes, aged % years She leaves two
children, one ten months old and the other
three years of age. The funeral service
took place Tuesday morning at the residence
of Mr.. j. E. Mozely brother of the deceased,

AS an example to the colored boys of
this community, we mention the fact that |
Strick Gray, who died here recently, aged |
Is years, left home to his mother worth |
$500. He bought the ground and built the
house, painted it and it is decided to his
mother, free from all encumbrances. He
commenced work with Mr.. j. Spilman at
$25 per year and board, and his wages were
increased each year until he received $3.50
year and board. He saved most of his mon |
ey and did not dissipate with the rowdy
crowd of negroes, but behaved himself de.
Gently and had the respect of white and
black. If the young negro boys loafng
around town, would go to work and initiate
his example they would be better off, and
the chain gang would not be recruited from
their ranks so rapidly.

From present indications there will be |
an abundance of all kinds of fruit this year,
and it behoOves our people to make ample |
preparations to save it from loss, and the
best and most practicable way to do this is
to get an evaporator and dryer. By this
process you can make more money than by
the old and tedious way Fruit dried by
this mode is brighter, cleaner and commands
better price, bringing Is to 20 cents per
pound. 1t is labor-saving and money-mak.

con of Marietta is experimenting with new
evaporation and dryer now Ask him about
it,
Reader have you borrowed this paper
of your neighbour Ifso, put it down, and
go straightway and subscribe for one your
self. You would rather sponge upon your
neighbor and borrow his Why don't you
borrow the bakers loaf, or the butchers
steak or roast2 You might as well do either
as to borrow newspaper. There would be |
no newspaper to borrow if all men were like |
you; for the printers could not afford to
print papers for the benefit of the borrowers,
and would have to close their Offices and go
out of business altogether.

barber, met with sad loss on last Monday
morning in the death of his wife, of con-
sumption. Her funeral was preached by

friends who sympathise with him in his be-
| reavement.
There is no sewer to the cistern in front
of the Masonic building, and the water in
the cistern is liable to get stagnant and ere

a very important matter. A sewer should
| be constructed at once

of Chattanooga, Tenn, for samples of five
