GOOD FARM FENCE.
Ono That Combines Strength, Neatness
and Complete Portability.

Ono That Combines Strength, Neatness
and Complete Portability.
Below | give a description of what 7
believe TO be one Of the best general
purpose farm fences, as it combines
strength, durability, neatness, cheap
ness and complete portability. 1t also
can be made either in the field on the
posts or in the shop or barn.
For common farm fence / would
make it four feet high, or for those who
wish a cheap poultry fence | would
make it six feet high
The cost would be about as follows
in this section of country:
90 picEets ssx21S IN, 1t. long .............1 Is
3 strands single No IL wire. .......... .... .05
Two-poiuted tacks to staple over wires. .05
Posts u in iron, It. long per rod ...........05
Sag wire per rod. Oh
Total cost per rod .... 49,. .32
The posts would put about twenty
feet apart
Use only three strands of single wire
and weave the pickets in and staple
over every wire.
The fence is to be made in lengths of
five or ten rods, as would be most con-
venient, unless it is wished as a per-
manent fence, when it can be made in
one continuous length.
The sag wire is only TO be stapled to
about five pickets near their lower ends
and the center carried up and hung
over the top of posts 1t should be
short enough to raise the center of
stretch between posts about two
inches
The fence is fastened to posts by a
loop of wire wrapped on main wires
which the post passes through. The
post should extend little above the
center wire and should be driven into
the ground about eighteen inches.
AS a poultry fence it will cost about
five cents per rod less than as stock
| fence,
There Is no patent on this fence, d
any farmer can take advantage of thi:
and get good fence cheap. Clarence

 This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, IS made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course.

Rather Mixed.

The writer of report of q prescn- tation to the Rev. Dr. Nudge mixed up the description of patent pig killing machine in the columns of his paper in the following way Several of the Rev. Dr. Mudge's friends called upon him yesterday, and after a brief conversation the unsuspiciOu8 was seized by the hind legs and slid along q beam till he reached the hot water tank, His friends explained the object of their visit, and present. eel with very handsome gold-headed butcher, who grabbed him by the tail, swung him round, slit his throat from ear to ear, and, in less time than it takes to tell it the carcass was in the water. ThereupOn he came forward and said that there were times when the feelings oyerpowered one; and for that reason he would not attempt to do more than thank those around him, for the manner in which such q huge animal was cut up was simply astonishing. The doc tor concluded his remarks when the machine seized him, and in less than a minute the pig was cut into frag- monts and worked into delicious saul sages. The occasion will be long re- membered by the doctors friends as one of the most delightful of their lives. The best piece can be secur- ed for ten cents pound and we are sure that those who have sat SO long under his ministry will rejoice that he has been treated so hand somely.

REV. GEORGE A. GARDNER

The subject of the following me- moir was born in Warren County, Ga, May 6, 1881, and died June 3, 1891.
 At what age he professed religion and joined the Methodist Episcopal church South, is not known Your committee learns from good author ity the following facts: That he was a soldier in the late war between the States, was severely wounded, which circumstance made him a suf- ferer for life. In January 1890, he was attacked by Ia grippe, from which he never fully recovered, the attack was renewed about the middle of April following, but he was thought to be doing well until heart failure set in, which was the immediate cause of his death.
 He was licensed to preach in 1868, and served the church and the peo- pie faithfully for twelve years. In 1872 he was ordained a deacon at Atlanta. Ga., by Bishop Marvin. About lool failing health caused him to give up active work, after that time he preached only occasionally.
 In 1887 he removed to Prescott, Ark. From this time the committee can speak from personal knowledge He came into our midst m very fec ble health and with his nervous sys- tenn badly shattered. He preached occasionally in town and vicinity un- til about twelve months before his death. His preaching was scripturaI and spiritual and very acceptable.
 He seemed to live very near Heav- en; and on his death bed seemed in its very yestibule. From Pisgah s top he viewed, shouted hallelujah, and left the world.

HON. GEORGE PARKER SMOOTH.

The subject of the following me, uoir was horn in Hickman county, ! Tenn, December F, 1928,

 He represented Columbia county in the Constitutional conventions both in 1861 and 1874.
 As citizen Col. Smoote was all that could be reasonably expected, ever ready to lend the full weight of his influence to every good cause.
 He was an original, independent and profound thinker. His literary attainments were comprehensive and varied. He often wrote poems for the press, some of which possessed great merit.
 As lawyer he stood Tn the front ranks, often serving as special judge in the higher courts.
 For many years before his death he was member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in which at different times he occupied many official relations. He was rather pressed by the Quarterly Conference to accept authority to preach the gospel. For many years he held this position, l.. F., in the church. He preached great deal and very acceptahly, but some years before his death he refused to have his li- cense renewed and discontinued this office, but continued an acceptable member of the church. Dying sud denly he left no special testimony.
