Admitted His Guilt.

A drunken man staggered into church
on Sunday and sat down in the pew of
one of the deacons. The preacher was
discussing about prevalent poplar
vices. Soon he exclaimed; "where is
the drunkard?" The drunken man was
far enough gone to think the call
personal, so rising heavily, replied,
"Here Iam," and remained standing
while the drunkard,s character and fate
were eloquently portrayed. A few
minuts later the preacher reached
another head of discourse, and asked,
"Where is the hypocrite?" Gently
nudging his neighbor, the drlnkard
said, "Stand up deacon, he means you
this time. Stand up and take it like n
man, just as I stand. 1t will do you
good. d.n-EX.

A PitchfOrk Swindle.

A gang of swindlers are reported to
be victimizing the farmers of nearby
counties with scheme thst it seems
no sane person would entertain fer a
moment. The salesmen as they claim
to be, approach a man with the propo-
sition that he shall become their agent
for patent pitchfork. He is present
ed with a sample for his good looks
and signs an agreement to sell pitch
forks to his neighbors. The agreement
proves to be judgement note and the
poor man finds himself impaled on the
pitchfork that the other fellow was U.S.
ing. The slippery gentlemen have
made some good hauls, their profits
ranging from S75 to $3.50 per fork.

The Ivy Club, of Middleburg, gave
lawn party at the home of Miss Mar
cia App at Mahantango, on the eve Of
July 4th. Many friends responded to
invitations. The members made great
preparations and being aided through
the hospitality of the App family, the
party was indeed grand success.
Music was furnished Ey the McKees
orchestra and the display of fireworks
was magnificent. The evening was
spent in the different games of interest
ana choice refreshments were served
in liberal proportions. After lunch the
guests were compelled to retreat to the
roomy mansion for protection during u
thunderstorm. Here they were enter
tanned by Miss Holman, OF Liverpool,
who recently returned from Chicago
where she had received instructions in
Oratory. She soon convinced the mer.
rymakers of a wonderful talent as an
elOcutionist by her recital of few
choice selections of the Shakesperian
order.
Many of the friends remained over
night and all seemed to enjoy few
hours sleep with the exception of Il few
of the ladies who, with the strain. and
excitement of the evening on TN ir
minds, fancied they were in fairy land
mascurading in double lie. Breakfast
was served in due time afterwhich the
guests departed feeling very thankful
that thare was an Ivy club and an App
family.
Those present were:-Misses Marcie
App, Evelyn Graybill, Bertha Grouse,
Lucrecia Grouse, Catherine Holman,
Jenette Beal, Grace Snyder, Edna
Kline, Laura Gemberling, Jennie
Sturtvant, Helen App, Alice Shellen-

DADEVILLE.
Two Esteemed Citizens of Talla2oosa
 Very III.

Two Esteemed Citizens of Talla2oosa
 Very Ill. -. Dadeville, Sept. 6.-(Speclal.)-W. H. Newell, one of the old citizens or tnis county. is critically i'll at the home Of his daughter, Mrs. J. D. Whatley, at this place and is not expected to live through the day.
 Professor J. B. Berkstresser, an old ana well known citizen of Dadeville, IS very sick at his home here. Professor berk- stresser was stricken with paralysis several years ago and has been Tn pad health since, but his condition now IS critical. .-, .--A.
 Cotton is being marketed very Iast here and all of the crop VIII soon pc marketed. The most conservative esti- mates now do not place the crop in Lnis county at over 35 per cent.
 On the old L. M. Wilson pie ,e, near Aericola, now in charge of J. ID. "l- Iiams. where the crop has never been Iess than twenty-five bales about all or tbis vear's crop has been gathered and not exceeding i've bales will be made. Another instance is the crop of H. w. |. Craodock. one of the best farmers In the county. His usual crop is nfty bales and on the same acreage that ne mas been making fifty bales. this years crop will not exceed ten bales.
 Merchants and farmers are very oes- pondent over the situation. Another tact that makes the short cotton crop so nara on the farmers Is that upland corn IS almost a complete failure in the county
