[1 We wish him success with his new industry. All Clasaea can get it. e The grocers who are handling "Clif? ton" dour are the ones who have the best trade and tightest grip on it. "Clift ton" is a dour of quality, and goes into the homes of people who want the best a the market affords, and this applies in y this free country to all from the lowest y to the highest station. No sumptuarry ? law can prevent the humblest American citizen from buying the purest and best dour, and eveiy housekeeper knows she ). gets the purest and best when she buys h "Clifton". Bransford Mills, l" Owensboro, Xy. a ? *. Sunday School Picnic. le The Methodist Sunday School de1 cided sometime ago to have a pienic n and asked the Presbyterian Sunday School to join them, then the ques' tion as to where it should be was disr# cussed and Cedar Springs was finally 1- decided upon. Arrangements were e perfected for two coaches to be taken up by the early train and brought back by the evening train. Yesterday was set for ths occasion. At 9 e o'clock the children gathered, filling s. the two coaches in waiting at the dei pot, and the happy throng were e whirled away up the road for Cedar ' Springs by the passenger train. We >e are sorry wo oould not go. |t, like a almost everything else of Importance, [~ happening on Thursday?our press ? day.

The deceased was apparently in usual health and was sitting piecing a quilt when she suddenly dropped her work falling to the flx>r a corpse. Heart failure, no doubt, was the cause of her death. She was a consistent member of the Padgett's Creek Baptist church. She joined the church in early life and was in the 40th year of her age when so suddenly called from time to eternity. A good woman has gone leaving a kind husband, six children, two brothers and many relatives and friends to mourn her loss. We often say of our loved ones in our deep sorrow, "they are dead," when in fact they have just commenced to live. May the Lord bless and console the bereaved husband and children. C. B. Bono. Another Foolish Joke. A party of gentlemen who were attending conrt here ate dinner at the Union Hotel a few days ago, and one of the party finishing his dinner first went out into the lobby. Another of tne party thinking he would have a joke told one of the waiters that the gentleman who just went out had put some doilies in his pocket. The negro went to the gentleman and asked him for the doilies, the gentleman became indignant, of course, and told the negro he had none of his doilies. The negro Insisted that a gentleman had told him he saw him take them. The man became furious as was to be expected, and cursed the negro out for his impertinence. The result was the gentleman was arrested for boisterous conduct and was put in jail for four hours. When he was released his friends informed him that "it was only a joke," He said it was not much of a joke to him. Some people carry a joke entirely too far. Weather and Crop Report. The average temperature for the week ending Monday, June 16th, was 77?, which is slightly below normal. A maximum of 102? occurred at Hodges on the 12th, and a minimum of 52^ at Santuc on the 10th. Beneficial showers occurred on the 8th, over a large portion of the State, that partially relieved the drought in the southwestern counties, but ' they were partial. Other sections also had showers, but there were many points that had no rain until Saturday and Sunday (14th and 15th), when a general rain set in and covered the entire State, and was generally heavy. Farm work made rapid progress, and fields are remarkably clean and well cultivated. Worms continue to injure oorn, while chinoh bugs nearly ruined some fields of wheat and corn in the central counties. Early corn is being laid by in fine condition. . In some seotions it was suffering for moisture, and looked yellow, but the recent copious rainfall will make this portion of the corn , crop. Bottom and stubble lands can now be planted to corn. Cotton continues to look well, with < only a few reports of damage by lice, j and that the plants are smaller than usual. Lice are fast disappearing. 1 The crop Is clean and well cultivated. In most places, cotton has fully re- < covered from the recent cool weather. Sea-island cotton has improved. Wheat and oats harvest is about finished, and threshing has been begun. The yields of both grains are very poor over the western half of the State, and from fair to excellent over the eastern counties. Melons are very promising, and are beginning to ripen. Cantaloupes are boing marketed. Sweet potatoes have been poor, and slips scarce, but transplanting oan now be actively prosecuted. Peaches and apples continue to drop extensively, and some of the former rot as they ripen. Gardens were nearly ruined, but have revived somewhat recently. Minor crops generally promising.
