WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7.
PECANS BEAT 4c COTTON.
Prom a late issue of the Albany
(Ga.) Herald, we gather the fol
lowing in reference to the paying
capacity of the Pe-^n business,
and publish the same as a hint to
those who are sick of four 'cent
cotton : .
"At all the fruit stands of Al
bany are the finest fresh pecans
for Bale. They are obtained from
the farm of Capt. G. M. Bacon, of
Mitchell county, and are the paper
. shell variety. Some ten years ago
Capt. Bacon set out a peach or
. chard and a pecan orchard. The
pecans have proved much more re
v munerative. He gets three dollars
per bushel on the farm. The trees
bear every year."
TIE-UP IN OHIO YALLEU.
JOaltlmsre Visited by the Highest
Wind Known in Nineteen
Years-Storm on the
Jersey Coast.
Columbus, 0., Dec 4.-All day
terrific stoms have raged all over
the State, particularly in the nor
thern pai:t. Rain and sleet have
fai?on here all day and the streets
have been deserted.
A special to the State-Journal
from Lima tells of conditions ex
isting there, saying :
The severeet storm in years has/
prevailed here today, doing manj^
thousands of dollars worth of
dollars worth of damage to teleg
raph and telephone and electric
light companpanies. Poles havo
given way under the weight of
wet snow and hundreds of wires
are down and crossed so as.to]make
them useless and dangerous. The
city is in darkness tonight. Trains j
on all roads are late and a rear ;
end ollision between Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton trains
re.sultey on account of the blinding
storm.
Another special from Findlay
says: The heavist snow storm
known in years has raged all day,
street car traffic is entirely supend
ed and all railroad trains are very j
late.
THRCUGHOU THE OHIO VALLEY.
Cincinnati, Dec. 4.-The snow
N^-~^nres^fr?m this city south were j
rendered afanost useless on account
of the heavy winds. No great
, damage is kn?yn to have resulted.
A few dispatches received at the
Maritime ev change told of a very
heavy northeaster prevailing at
the Delaware breakwater and at
other points along the south New
Jersey coast At. many points 'the
tide rose to the highest point it has
reached in years.
The wind at Atlantic City
reached a maximum velocity at 10
o'clock this evening of about 60
miles, stirring up a high sea both
on the beach and meadows. Several
private residences on the meadows
were completely surrounded by
water, compelling occupants to use
boats going to and from the build
ings.
SEVEREST IK NIKETEEh YDAES.
Baltimore, Dec. 4.--Tho most!
severe rain and wind storm that
has visited Baltimore for many j
years prevailed today and did.
thousands of dollars of damage.
Sixty miles an hour was the wind
velocity given out by the weather
bureau, the highest for 19 years.
The fury of the wind was not long
continued. For eight minutes
its velocity varied between 55 and
60 miles. But this was long enough
to do great damage. Fully 800
houses were blown down, trees
uprooted and poles leveled. Tele
graph, telephone, electric light
and trolley poles were blown down
like so many ten pins. Large
sections of the city are in darkness
tonight, and the telegraph and
telephone systems are badly
ited.-The State.

ice of white sugar, one
quart of hot water. Place in a
corked bottle and use one tables

In gathering the corn crops thie
year the farmers say they find
more of it than damaged they have
for years.

IN MEMORIAM.
DR. JAMES CARROLL LA BORDE.
The death of this high-toned gentle
man and humble Christian, which
occurred from apoplexy on Wednes
day, Nov. 23, 1898, at his home near
Littleton, Upper Richland, causes]
general regret. To his beloved family
his death is truly most; lamentaole,
while the neighborhood bemoans w<th
genuine sorrow the loss of a physician
so capable* and kind. Like his D: .::e
Master, he "went about doing- good"
and noone of either race in need of
his skill ever asked in vain for his
ministration. "I was sick and yes
visited me" seemed, indeed, the watch-'
word from the Saviour's lips and
incited bim to constant deeds of I
charity.
Though Dr. LaBorde had passed
his three score * ..-ars, he seemed to have
the promis of many more years of
loving usefulness and his sudden deatli
came as a great shock. God spakp
the word and he was taken from his
love ones without premonition. We
commend them to the God of tlie widow
and the Father of the fatherless, whose
promises fail not. "Blessed are tin*
dead who die in the Lord."-Columbia
