niggardly that he sat in the rear of
the church to save interest on his
money when they took up collection.

who is too stingy to 60 to church at
all for fear the preacher will take
up collection How does that COM
pare with the man who wears wart
on the back of his neck for a collar
button?
There was great excitement at
Chipley over the killing of Mrs. W.

Sulphur Springs district, Of Meris
wether county, and stands we'll in
his community as an upright citizen.

A few days ago an order was re-
ceived in Washington, Ca, from a
Chicago firm for fifty carloads of
corn. The order could not be filed.

endeavor to have surplus of corn
next season. Chicago or some other
market will be sure to want it.
