asked to give the opening prayer
Earlier in the morning he gave the
prayer at the Men’s Bible class of
the Sunday school.
- He ' returned home after the ser
vice and was apparently im his usual
state of health. Before sitting down
he went to his room to get a cigar
and had just returned to the dining
room iand was standing up preparing
to light the smoke when he suddenly
stopped talking in the middle of a
sentence and fell unconscious. A
physician called immediately pro
nounce apoplexy as the cause of death.
Doctor Atkinson was a member of
the North Georgia conference for

educated at one of the branches of the
University of Georgia and his doc

kinson was retired on account of his
health. He served in Conway three

A writer signing himself “Raw-
hide,” sent in the following news
items from Blackville:
“ I also heard that Mr. E.
J. WhaJey, aged*, 72, and the widow
Kiiklaird, *about 22, were married a
few days ago. I should think that
they were old enough to make corn-
tracts and act for themselves, and
yet it is rumored that it was an elope
ment. I hardly think that can be so,
unless they are in their (in) fancy.
“I understand, also, that the head
man of the Langley Mills is to be at
Blackville on Tuesday (tomorrow) to
look at the court-house building here,
with a view of turning it into a yarn
factory.”

“The Benediction of the Holy Sacra

^ A camel ranch Is owned by D.
Mather, of Bastrop, Texas. He claims
that camels are no more trouble to
raise than horses or cattle. The colts
for three or four days are rather
tender and require close attention, but

with the herd. They are extremely do

a colt every year they are profitable,

from $200 to $500 each. Mr. Mather
says a well broken camel will travel
more than 100 miles a day.
