Olar, July 4.?To-day we laid to -est all that was mortal of Leonard 3ease Chitty, aged 85. He was bbrn n Bamberg county and was a noble man. Sixty years ago he married Dorcas Thurston, and she and two :hildren survive Him. When the war broke out he went to the front with Company G, it being part and parcel of Longstreet's Division of Lee's army. He was wounded once and surrendered at Appomattox. He came home and has been engaged in farming up to a few years ago. He h^d as few shortcomings as any man, and we can easily throw the mantle of charity over them. The funeral services were coniucted by the Rev. D. B. Groseclose, and the sermon was worthy of a Talmage. He made a simile about the fourth of July which should be perpetuated, and the writer was never more touched than by these beautiful remarks. nr<? rrrtrna /~>ih fripnd and neieh ID UUI JUUU viu oor, "a long farewell."

Sanders, of Louisville, Ky., yesterday. after he was married to his sixth wife, Mrs. Mary Dixon, yesterday afternoon. "I have buried four as good women as eyer lived and stayed with them to me last, laying each ay ay decently. The fifth woman I took for a wife did not suit and we were divorced."

Plan for 15-Cents Cotton Discussed in Macon July 12. Macon, Ga., July 7.?Reports received at the headquarters of the Southern States Sotton Corporation indicate that the conference in Atlanta, July 12, to investigate the plan for marketing the cotton crop of the South on a 15-cent basis, will be largely attended. Gov. Mann, of Virginia, has announced that he will attend, and Governors Colquitt, Texas; Brewer, Mississippi; O'Neal, Alabama, and Hooper, Tennessee, have signified their intention of being present or having men there to represent them. Sixty Georgia counties will be represented and a large delegation is expected from Texas. Telegrams were sent yesterday to seventeen governors urging them to be present. The Pecan in Georgia. The sale of a 600-acre pecan grove in Mitchell county for $200,000 indicates how a pecan grove as an investment is regarded by those with money to invest. Pecan growing in south Georgia is of recent date, although the trees have been planted for many years. Of the grove which sold for a small fortune, one-half the trees are in bearing, although young. The land on which this grove was planted was worth $25 to $50 per acre. In eight years' time its value was increased to $333 per acre, or about 900 per cent. From this must be deducted the expense of planting and care, but with the most liberal estimates for these the investment was a splendid one. And those who bought the grove got value since the grove will yield from 75,000 to 100,000 pounds of nuts this season, and this will be more than doubled when all the trees come into bearing. Once in bearing, the pecan tree is fruitful for an indefinite time, being hardy and long lived, and the crop is reasonably certain. Pecan growing is an attractive investment.?Savannah News. Wedding Etiquette. The parents of the bride are sutf1 posed to furnish everythirg for th? wedding but the groom?in other words, they have to pay the bill for decorating the church or home, for the wedding feast and the invitations. Also for the carriages, except the one that brings the groom and his best man. : The groom furnishes the ring and the license and?last, but not least ?himself. ? In some communities the groom also buys the bouquet for the bride and her attendants, while she sends him and the best man the tiny sprays of flowers they are to wear at the ceremony. t It seems that the burden of ex-, pense rests with the bride'9 father^ j but he is usually satisfied to put up i for all these "fixtures" if it ends there. At least it is not considered good form to call upon him for a few months! And it is better to postpone the time many months farther along if nothing very alarming happens to you, and the little plans for meeting living expenses hold good. *- - ? rarenis are mure ayi lu icw inclined to help, if they see that the young folks are trying to live within their means; but the man who has had to make all his own money usually thinks that his daughter's husband ought to be in a position to support himself and wife. The help young married people expect should be from the necessity of long illness, or some other unforeseen circumstances, and not from the desire to "fly before they learn how to walk." A rich man made the remark that his daughters expected to start in with as much as he and his wife had now, after many years of work and saving. I am inclined to think he was right.?Polly Paciget.

Of the total water surface of the globe, 145,000,000 square miles, about one-third stands more than three miles above the bottom o!f the sea, but until now no part of the great oceans has been discovered deep enough to submerge Mount Everest. But if there is no mistake about this depth of 9,780 meters (32,088 feet) # the world's highest mountain could be sunk there until its highest peak was 3,000 feet below the water's level. The deeDest soundines have all been made in the Pacific; 23,250 feet is the record of the Atlantic, in proximity to the West Indian island of St. Thomas; while the North Sea only averages 300 feet, or about one- *. tenth the maximum depth,of the icy waters of Arctic Ocean.?Westminster Gazette. * SPECIAL NOTICES. ~~ Advertisements Under This Head 25c.
