So far if the ground has been
| broken by the council for planting
trees We have not seen or heard of

1t is generally regretted that the
rain prevented a large attendance
upon the special service in Cur
Methodist church on Sunday night

anxious to attend were kept away
by the rain. Rev. Mr.. Davis

For some time Mr.. J. P. QUITS
has contemplated opening brick
yard and has definitely decided
to begin operations as soon as eli
matte conditions will warrant.
Mr.. QUITS already owns an engine
and brick machine and possess
ing ample means and business
ability he is certain of success.
Mr.. Ouzts can make bricks for the
college much cheaper than they
can be shipped here, which, too,
will keep several thousand dollars
in town that would he sent else
where.
Mr.. J. L. QUITS, of Sophia, sa-
luda county, who carried bis son to
the mad stone at Grovetown, Ca,
as reported in our last issue. return
ed on Wednesday, stating that the
stone adhered to the wound. His
son remained and the stone
continued to adhere at the time
Mr.. QUITS left him. The fact that
the stone adhered indicates the
presence of poison in the wound
and system but in some inexplica-
be way it is extracted. There il
not case on record where the vic.
tim developed hydrophobia to
whom the stone was promptly ep-
piled.
