Property Improved.

The unsightly and dilapidated
fence around the property of the
Methodist parsonage property has
been replaced by neat picket fence.
This matter was brought before the
brethren of the four churches COM
prising the Lexington Circuit at the
first of the year, and as a conse-
auence Mr.. John J. Fox gave the
necessary timber, Mr.. Robert A. Sem
did the hauling and the Gross
Brothers sawed and dressed the lum-
ber. The pastor, Rev. ". NJ. Har'
den, invited some members from each
OF the four churches to meet him,
and last Friday they promptly and
,cheerfully responded and the fence
was soon built.
The people Of Lexington Circuit
know how to take care of their pas
tor and are ever thoughtful for the
comfort and convenience OF himself
and family. They deserve special
credit for the interest they are man
afesting this year.

The war buggaboo has scared
some and they contemplate planting
some of the cotton lands in corn and

The small pox epidemic has as
sumed such a serious and alarming
nature that it seems to US that Wis
dom and a due regard for the health
of our people would suggest to our
town authorities the necessity for
using all precautionary measures and
the enforcement of strict quarantine
laws to prevent the introduction OF
this loathsome disease from infected
places. Gan ounce of prevention is

Hail Storm.

A terrific hail storm passed over
the scope of country north Of this
place Friday afternoon, doing great
damage to fruit and crops. In the
Providence section, particularly on
the plantation of Mr.. J. NJ. Caugh-
man, cotton and corn were so greatly
damaged that in many places they
will have to be ploughed up and
replanted.
In the Midway school house sec.
tion fruit was beaten from the trees
in great quantities and damage was
done to crops.
Saturday was cold and high winds
prevailed throughout the entire day.

An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief Of emf
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases:
twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns. Iron
Bitters. The many yremarkable cures effected
bv this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
