 The fall of rain Sunday was almost unprecedented. In some places it stood several inches on the ground for hours.

Small trees were razed to the ground by the wind, and much dam age was done to gardens and fruit trees by the hail.
 There isn't vacant residence in De- catur. Several tenants are inquiring for houses.

VOCAL INSTRUCTION. A letter by the celebrated Lyman Wheeler of the New England Conservatory Of Music, Boston:

GRAVES SCHOOL.
An Interesting Programme Enjoyed by
Large Crowd.

Large crowd.
In spite of the inclement weather or
the evening of June 18th the closing ex
ercises of Graves school were well at
tended, the house not being large enough
to accommodate those pres ant on that
suspicious occasion.
To say that the pupils acquitted them
selves well would but express it feebly.
They must have done more than that,
SURPRISING as they did, the expectations
of their most sarguine friends. Where
there are so many attractiveS features
it is a difficult matter to cOntine ones
pen to the most interesting, yet cannot
forbear referring to "The Goodnight
Drill" the CalisthenicS and "Punkin
| Ridge Just the appearance of the
shrewd yankee, jonathan" in Punkin
Ridge, as presented by MIR Edgar
Davidson, brought down the house, the
audience feeling confident that rich
treat was in store for them. They were
not disappointed, for Mr.. Davidson GER
tainly has decided talent in that line.
Daisy Lay, the attractive little daUgh-
ter of Mr.. A. B. Lay, has decided his
trionic talent. For one of her tender
years her proficiency in this line is sim
ply wonderful. She was indeed a JOY
and pleasure to all who had an opportu-
nifty of hearing her.
In the play, "Pet of the School," the
beautiful, bright-eyed little Miss Eva
Waller acted her part IN sweet, attract
i've manner.
My sympathy was with the adorable
"Adolphie," represented by DR.. j. Il.
Lewis, vino, having been smitten by
cupid's dart, was wooing under difficult
ties. The play was well sustained in all
its parts, each one proving equal to the
occasion.
The "Jimtown Lyceum," as presided
over by Miss jamie sawyer, deserves
special mentiJn. Her inimitable way of
repeating the assertion Of THAT'S so,
too" was one of the happy hits of the
evening.
What shall say of the small boys who
covered themselves with glory? Mayhaps
a future. Webster stood before us that
evening and we, with our lack of insight
into the future, knew it not.
The exercises were pleasantly inter
spersed with music by Prof. E. H. Nc
Neil and Miss Cora Clark, of Cuthbert.
Surely the teachers, Misses Leila and
Cora Clark, have cause to congratulate
themseles upon this the happy close of
their scholastic year. SPECTATOR.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was it supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, OHIO. is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

lure electrical apparatus here. Already
he and Mr. B. NJ. Wilson, of the South
vest Georgia Telephone Company, have
brought out six 25-light incandescent
Generators from the design known as the

is said to be so far in advace of other
methods of producing light and power
that ready demand will be created for
1t among electric plant owners. Mr..
Mercer already has orders for three
standard machines, one to 60 to Monte
yuma, one to Fort Valley and one to

You can purchase subsoil plows of
any implement dealer. There are also
attachments made that may be put Oh
ordinary stirring plows. These general
ly give very good satisfaction.
As to the time of year to do the work,
that depends on the soil and other cir
cumstances the same as in ordinary
blowing. y correspondent of Farm,
Field and Fireside says that it may be
done every year or only once in two or
three years as circumstances will per
NIT. Subsoil blowing is loosening tho
subsoil without bringing it to the sur
face. Where the loosened subsoil is laid
on the surface, it is called trench plow-
ing Subsoiling is probably advisable
on a larger variety of soils in this ooun-
try than is trench blowing On I'm
drained soils it often is worse than use
less, unless in rare cases, where there is
a thin layer of compact soil above por-
GUS soil. In heavy clay soils the effects
are not permanent. In deep, loose soils
the practice may do some good, but not
always enough to repay the extra cost.
