poets. Additional doctors must come
with increased population. Rev. E.
E. Bomar, D. D., assistant secretary
Of the foreign mission board of the
Southern Baptist convention, delivered
an address on missions at the Baptist
church last night. There were only a
few out to hear the address on ac-
count Of the weather; but those who at
tended were greatly benefited.
The dispensary profits for the month OF
September amounted to $877. This fs
to be equally divided between town
and county, giving each $43S.50..
Nelson Heath was killed at the Eureka
mills yesterday morning by a brick pill
lar falling on him. He was employed
in the basement Of the mill taking
down some pillars. While undermin-
ing one, through his own carelessness,
1t fell on him. Coroner Shannon held
an inquest and the jury rendered
verdict in accordance with the above
facts, and attached no blame whatever
to the mill or foreman in charge OF the
work. .. The work on the Presbyter1-
an church is progressing rapidly. A
new roof has been put on and now the
ceiling is about to be put in place.
Besides these, other improvements will
be made in the interior Of the church.
..... Mr.. John Frazer is making his
old Hamilton place blossom like the
rose. OF course this Is not very pro-
pitious time for blossoms; but 1t re-
quires no very fertile imagination to
look forward to the blooming season on
a good farm. We mentioned last
spring a thirty-acre field in which Mr..
Frazer had very fine oats. After
the oats were harvested, the land was
manured and sowed in peas. 1t had
been broken nine inches deep with
disk plow and narrowed smooth. Now
oats will be sown on 1t with drill
and stimulated with 300 pounds Of fer
tilizers to the acre. Mr.. Frazer had
the stumps grubbed up, which looked
like very tedious and expensive work,
but it Is to be remembered that they
will never be to take up again and ne
is enabled to run his disk plow, grain
drill and reaper without obstruction.
Farmers sometimes lose much Of their
money and labor for the want Of spend
ing little more judiciously. Mr..
Frazer is in the midst Of group of the
best farmers in this vicinity, but there
appears to be no jealousy; they seem
to take pride in his enterprise. We
shall watch the farms Of Mr.. Frazer
and his neighbors with much interest,
and report anything that may appear
instructive or stimulating to other
farmers.
