Rev. j. Wesley Barr.
Just as we go to press a tele-
gram has been handed us an
nouncing the sudden death, at his
home in Jackson county, Ca, of
our old, genial, and kind hearted
friend, the Rev. J. Wesley Barr,
who removed from this county
some seven or eight years ago.
Alvin Hart 8 Co.
That big double column adver-
tisement of Alvin Hart & Co.,
does not need any notice at our
hands, it speaks for itself; only
read it, beloveds, and it will do The
rest. The bargains are SO great
and 80 many that your shekels
will be wisely taken from your
pockets and dropped into the tills
of this popular firm. Let 'em drop.
Spanish Peanuts.
NIB. L. Rambo's success with
Spanish peanuts has put every
body in this region in the notion
of planting largely of that variety
this spring. You can plant this
kind after oats, and it will yield
abundantly, and then it is SO much
less trouble to gather than the
other varieties. You simply reach
down, catch hold of the vines,
give a slight jerk, and 10 and be-
hold you have pulled up peck,
more or less, of the little liver
invigorating beauties, There is no
necessity afterwards to do any
digging; that little jerk which
pulled up the vine got 'em all.
Revival Services.
Will you kindly state that the
Rev. Geo. G. Smith, of the North
Georgia Conference, will conduct
a two weeks revival service in our
Methodist Church, beginning about
the 5th Sunday IN. this month. He
is an author of considerable prom
inence, having written most excel
lent biographies of Bishops An
drew and Pearce, history of Meth
odism in Georgia, and quite a
number of smaller works of de.
cided merit. He is, perhaps, un-
.excelled as a popular writer for
our religious periodicals. and is
said to be specially gifted in
preaching to children and young
people. Let prayer be made con-
tinually that more abundant life
may come to our community
through this meeting.

Something Progressive.
Mr.. Giles D. Minis, of our town,
the noted architect and contractor,
is putting up near the Cumberland
Gap depot a three-story building,
sixty by seventy feet in size, and
later there is to be an addition of
twenty by seventy feet for the
storage of lumber. This building
is to be used by Mr.. Minis and his
employees as general work and
sales shop for the making and sale
of all kinds of furniture, cofins,
sash, doors, blinds, house finishing
material, etc., and also as a depot
of lumber supplies of all grades
and sizes. Steam will be used in
the shops, for all purposes where
1t can be used, and a railroad track
will connect with the Cumberland
Gap and run through the shops
for. the convenient manipulating
and shipment of stocks. There
will be an abundance ofroom, and
steam power to spare at this estab-
lishment to. run a cannery, and
Mr.. MINIS is more than willing
that they be used for such pur-
poses, It goes without saying that
the smaller industries make the
nickels hop.

Ridge Spring Crop Prospects.
Mr.. G. w. Thrailkill, who lives
in the Ridge Spring country, was
in our office on Tuesday of this
week. He reports that the oats in
nis section are suffering for rain,
especially those that are beginning
to head. The fruit crop he says
promises to be abundant, in fact
there are too many peaches on the
trees and the peach growers have
already commenced thinning out
the overladen boughs; about two
thirds is the rule to take off. Wa
ter melon growers are planting
largely of this delicious fruit
stimulated by the big prices of
last year.
Good News.
We have some good news for the
farmers, the farmers who expect
to plant all cotton, 1t is this: Eli
Perkins has been down in Louis
ieua and Texas and has written to
a New York paper that the people
down there have gone wild over
sugar raising, abandoning cotton
culture, that by reason of this
fact this years cotton crop will be
a million bales short, and as a
consequence cotton will be very
scarce and very high. All that
spoils this bright prospect is the
fact that Eli Perkins is known to
be the biggest liar on the conti-
nent. We publish Perkins letter
on our outside. Oh, but Perkins
is such an awful liar!

The impression comes from the
large quantities of fertilizers

high price of cotton seed last win

shoot, a ball will be given at Metropolitan Hall.
Here dancing will be INDUCED in by the many

There Is now little reason to think that the work
will be done this fall. ana the residents have

below the present pavement. that may be saved
to lay the blocks on. The upper layer OF small
stone may be carted to the Old Bergen road
and used in improving the condition of that
thorougnfare.
Very much afraid are the citizens, too, that
the layer of rock cannot be used as a founda-
ton after the trolley tracks are laid. 1t is
reared unaC the tracks Will De lalu on q lower
level than that necessary for the paving blocks,
for the reason mentioned. The tracks. how
ever, are laid at grade, and unless the scheme
of the citizens proposes a change of that grade,
no interference will be met with here.
Mr.. Fl. Rohde's new building at the corner OF
Danforrh avenue and the Old Bergen road is
moving on rapidly. The foundations are COM
pleted, and show the length aud breadth of the
proposed big store. This fairly settles the fate
of Danforth avenue as a residence street, al
though several other stores are already located
further down. The widest, best paved street in
town, and the one on which the Central Rail-
road station is. naturally ded
itself to the tradesman. And so. what was
formerly q leading residence avenue, is now
finally given up to stores and rerail dealers.
