If you fail to get a consignment of free sheep, buy a few of the same breed offered by the textile manufacturers and be your own "boas." Church Notices. The Annual Campmeeting of the A. M. E.

Wednesday evening of last week the horses were turned out to pasture a3 usual, and on Thursday morning, the mare was found dead in the field. There is not a mark or clue of any kind to indicate the cause of death. There was no lightning during the night, and as there were no marks on the ground in dicating a struggle, it is thought that she died suddenly from some mysterious cause. The King's Highway. The Mission Pageant given in the Reformed church last Sun day evening by the Missionary Society of that congregation was greeted by a full house and then some.

August 10, 1915, David A. Nel son bought five ewes for which he paid a lump sum of $25. This summer, he sold five lambs when they were 4 months old, ruid the five netted him over $53, he hav ing received $8.75 per hundred pounds for them. He sold 37i pounds of wool at 37 cent3 per pound, netting him $12.87, or a total of a little more than $GC. He retained one lamb the best one so that he now has six sheep in the flock. He not only cleared the original investment of $25, but he has eix nice sheep and $41 in bank. The cost to keep the sheep was small. Sheep will pick the best grass if permitted on it, but they will also pick a good living from waste places, eating many weeds that other stock will not touch. We venture the opinion that Mr. Nelson's sheep cost him next to nothing to keep. A little grain last win ter was about all the extra. District Conventions. The attention of District Sab bath School Presidents and Sec retaries of Fulton county is called to the fact that the season is at hand for holding the annual S. S. Conventions.
