But with the NEW CHARCOAL IRON BODY in place of Steel, making it double its value, and the fact that it is the only range in existence made of Malleable and Charcoal Iron, you can readily see that if quality is considered, the Ma jestic loads by a big margin.

The French Supreme Court has an nulled the entire proceedings in the fa mous Dreyfus trial and declared his in nocence of all the charges once brought against him. He is restored to the rank of Brigadier General in the army.

Ervin Crane, a lad of about eighteen, wjis run over and killed by a train at Walhalla lnst Thursday. lie v ; Georgian and in Walhalla on business. Fourth of July Picnic. On the glorious Fourth some fifty or sixty men, women and children, com posed of the families of Win. Fowler, Evans McDaniei, Wm. Mundy, Hen Cunningham, Lonzy Culbertson, O. G. Thompson, Wade Williams, W. II. Pin son, (). C. Cunningham, Oscar El more, and .lohn M. Thompson had an old time picnic at the home of that sturdy old veteran and all around good citizen, John I'. Williams. There are more fine oaks around tins place than any other place I know of. Under these grand old giants (remind ers of former days of which I've heard heard old people talk) we had a splen did day. Wm. Mundy and Oscar Blmore gave us a little sprinkling of "Nellie Gray," "The Arkansas Traveller," and many other pieces that you can nevi r rob of their enchantment. Tables for the occasion were spread about the noon hour, and we had plenty of everything good to eat. The good ladies had brought so large a supply of eatables, that before breaking up late in the afternoon we had lunch and still some baskets might have been filled with that which was left. We didn't need lemonade, we had the coldest well water that I have drank in many a day, from a deep well with something like seventeen feet of water. The young folks had an old-fashioned game of marbles. Lonzy Culbertson took a hand in this game, and the fact is if there was one there who enjoyed the day just a little better than any body else it was him. In the afternoon we had vocal and instrumental music, in which old and young took a hand. Being called upon for a speech, Judge O. G. Thompson made a brief talk, and in appropriate terms emphasized the importance of a reaction or revolution that will turn the tide of population from towns and cities and congested centras back to the rural districts. He recalled the good old days of which our grandfathers and grandmothers have told us, when there were no cities nor towns, and when there was more ming ling and elbow touch among country people, and said that as wo prize the heritage left us by our forefathers and hope to perpetuate the institution of a country that has today the best form of government ever derived by man, our people must go to work to make rural life more attractive by better schools, better roads, and a return to something akin to old-time society in farm life. Let boys and girls be taught to love farm life, and let inducements and al lurements be held out to keep them there. We had a splendid day and broke up with a resolution, no doubt, by each one that we will meet again, and that all were glad they came. WI NONA. Dr. F. Y.
