Cold weather still continues and
the farmers are going ahead prepar-
ing their land for cotton and some
few are planting when warm day
happens to come, but most all arc
waiting until the ground gets warmer.
Some corn has been planted but not
much. AS general thing they are
getting their land we'll prepared,
which is of great Importance If we
farmers ever intend to make sue
cess and live at home the year round,
only looking to the merchants for
that which we cannot raise at homo,
then it will not be much trouble to
get that which we cannot produce on
our farms.
With heart full of sorrow, we tell
OF the death of Mrs. Alexander,
whose maiden name WAS Miss Cora
Madden. Her suffering and death
was 80 terrible we ahudIer os wo
write. She had convulsions one after
another until death came to her re.
lief. She was carried to Little River
Baptist church in Oconee county,
where she had been a member for n
number Of years, and buried, Rov. B.
F. Murphree conducting the funeral
services. She leaves a husband and
mother, four hrothers and three sis
ters and many friends to mourn her
death.
On Monday the 18th inst, eddie,
the ID year.old son of MIR. and Mrs.
j. Z. Alexander, left homo and has
not been heard of since. Tho grief
stricken father and mother are al.
most crazy to hear from him and get
him to return home Any news as
to his whereabouts will be gladly re-
celvcd by them. a Subscriber.

ROCK FORMATION.
In One sense stones DO Grow, and

In One sense stones Do Grow, and

Rocks do not grow in the sense that
plants do. They may increase In size
by means Of accretion, and they may
also undergo other changes. Old sea
beds. lifted up and exposed for ages, be-
come stratified beds of sandstone or
limestone; volcanic ashes and lava
strewr over hills and plains become
tufa, hard enough for building stone,
and the pebbly shores of rivers and
smaller streams may sometimes
change into conglomerates. The simple
mineral, however, does grow, especial
" when 1t takes upon itself the form
of crystal sparkling prism of
quartz increases from an atom to
monster crystals OF varying length and
size by what biologists know as a
process of addition and assimilation"
This process is wonderfully slow, but
with a mathematical exactness that is
surprise to persons even ''well up
In the science of geology. In one sense
stones grow; in another they do not.
The crystal may become longer and
larger, but the bowlder on the roadside
Will not increase hairbreadth In
length or width in the next 10000

Avowediy women are both directly
and indirectly the best friends Of the
theatrical manager. If he can please
the feminine portion Of his audience
he is tolerably sure Of success, for
when woman likes play she induces
her men folk to go to it. This being
SO, ought not women to be specially
considered in all places of entertain
ment? But It is precisely on the oppo-
site lines that the manager commonly
proceeds. Men are encouraged to push
and squeeze past and disturb and in
convenience ladies between the acts
because smoking rooms are provided
for them in most theaters Women, on
the other hand, are expostulated with
and denounced If they wear hats at a
