DR.. W. S. Webb went to Ellsworth
to see patient sick of typhoid fever
: on Monday of this week. An ADVANCE
representive accompanied the Doctor,
aud enjoyed his company, the scenery
and the acqu sintances made, all but
Il share he had Of the shower which
overlook them on the way. Both the
professions of medicine and journalism,
with horse and buggy were thoroughly
drenched. as we'll rs d part Of the
Doctors library which made part of
the expedition. But they rejoiced in
{ 10 bless sed rain Which refreshed tie
fields, and bid the anxious and
desponding farmers hope and rejoice.
During the storm on the night
of the 18th a barn on the farm of
o. 8. Melick, one mile from Adrian,
was struck by lightning and burned
up. Three boys were in the barn who,
though shocked by the electricity, had
the presence Of mind to turn out sew
en- head of horses and some cows, which
but for their help must have been
burned. AS it was some hogs, with a
COW and other property were con.
sumel. The chattel property belonged
to Seyert Ostrom, the lessee Of the
place. The loss was about $500, with
u light insurance.
The Farmers A lliance has appointed
a committee to call out Il full attend
ance at the Farmers Institute to be
held in Wortlington next week. We
are glad to see the indications of gen.
eral interest and tile promise of
large attendance. The lecture on Mon.
day evening by an old soldier will be
interesting and will introduce az least
one of the Institute lecturers to the
acquaintance of our people. Tie lee
turer, Z. l.. Smith, will speak on the
"Battle of Chickamauga," in which
he was a participant. On Tuesday the
Pic Mic dinner in the Park will afford
All opportunity for forming lew ac-
quaintances, maturing older FRIEND
ships, and general intercourse. The
Institute is Of great value to all who
give a portion of their time to its
sessions.
A word may be in order on behalf
of our townsmen who have been placed
on committees to prepare proper &C
commodations for the Farmers Insti-
tute. The committees representing
the residents of Worthlngton were
appointed to render service which
they could perform more readily than
those living elsewhere, and to extend
to the farmers of the county cordial
cooperation, and not to assume any
sort Of direction or oversight. What
has been done WAS done at the earnest
request of Mr.. Gregg, the Superin.
tendent Of State Institutes. He had
not time to visit all parts of the coun-
ty and asked some of our people to aid
him. That assistance has been cheer
fully given, and will continue to be
given. The Institute is to be hell by
the farmers and for them. In both
town and country all are interested
that Mobiles county farms should be
made models of neatness, thrift and
prOductiventSs. Not a few of our vii
layers are owners of farms, and have 4
direct interest in all that pertains to
the tiiling of the soil. SO let all help
in this work, and share III its resultant
benefits.
The Grand Army boys came home
from Window feeling we'll, though
quite weary with the exciting yet pleas
ant scenes of the encampment. They
we're so we'll pleased with the honors
borne off by Worthington that a
"Camp Fire'' was hastily called to oc-
cupy the time of the regular meeting
Ut the Stoddard Post OH Saturday
evening. The time would have been
considered unreasonable but for the
fact that Gen. Pavey, the eloquent
camp fire orator, was in the town, and
all wanted to hear him before lie
should leave. The Commander, Frank
Glasgow, occupied the chair. but CON.
mitted the direction of the Scamp
Fire" to ex.Commander l.. NJ. Lange.
Short speeches were called for and
made by Comrades Town, Miller, Ben.
nett and McCune. Songs were sung:
"John Browns Body" etc.. "Tramp
Tramp, the Boys are Marching,'
'.Marching through Georgia." etc
The closing address was made by Gen
Pavey, who made a rousing, enthus
iastic speech, though lie was not at hi'
best on account Of the labors of the en-
campment. Comrade Lange was, a.
ever, ready for song, speech, or merr.
repartee. as occasion suggested.
