It is a matter for man to decide for
himself, according to his circum
stances, whether to hold or sell his
cotton. Interest, loss of weight, tax,
insurance and many other things are
to be considered. We believe, how
ever, there is no doubt of the advisa
bility of yet further reducing the
acreage. We do not know whether
cotton can be forced to fifteen cents,
as “Planter” thinks, but it can by re
ducing the quantity planted be forced
to a figure which will make half the
labor, expense, trouble arid risk pay.
as much as the present one. If a man
can get S6O for one bale of cotton or
S7O for two bales he is surely gainer
by making and selling the one bale
instead of the two. That is the whole
philosophy of reduced acreage, the
plain, simple, easy lesson it has taken
the Southern farmer so manyyears
of hard experience to learn..
Let the word go out that the acre
age will be reduced for next year be
low what it has been this year and we
will see the price of the present crop—
or what is left of it—jump.
THE RECORD BROKEN.
The Trade Edition of the Rome
Tribue appeared Tuesday morning.
It far surpasses anything of the kind
ever before gotten out in Rome. Edi
tor Knowles intended that it should
be the grandest journalistic achieve,
ment that was ever attempted by a
publisher in a town the size of Rome,
and we cherful'ly admit that he has
not fallen short of his most sanquine
expectations. We congratulate Editor
Knowles upon the great honor which
he has conferred upon himself and
the lasting good which his mammoth
edition will do to Rome and Floyd
county. The descriptive matter ar
ranged by his efficient coworkers,
Editor Folsom and Harper was beau
tifully written and gotten up in the
most accurate manner. —Southern

The Tribune, of Rome, Ga., on
Tuesday last printed its annual Trade
Edition. The edition consisted of
forty pages of carefully prepared
matter showing that the city of Rome
and the county of Floyd are among
the most prosperous and progressive
i i the State. Among other interesting
statements made by The Tribune
are these: That Rome is sixth among
the inland cotton markets of the
country, that Floyd has more miles
of railroads than any other county in
the State, that Rome leads the South
in trade in cotton seed hulls, and that
Floyd county has enough bauxite to
supply the world for generations to
come. The Tribune is doing good
work for the upbuilding of its section.
Its advertising of the advantages of
North Georgia is done in an at ractive
and intelligent manner, and it de

1 The Viojet at anchor lay
Ha.ref by the stormy cape,
' Tlve fowls!that yfiliiilyfUd the bay I(»’ ,
z Knew Grover by his shape.
F And so they vanished from the siene
With many a startled squawk
And note of warning l in between
As plain as tongue could talk.
But one, alone, of all the band
Remained close by the bank,
Defied the hunter’s skillful hand,
Hts presence and his rank.
So natural the game bird seemed
That Grover smiled with joy,
And never once he thought or dreamed
Os danger or decoy.
“Gimme my gun,” cried Grover “quick!”
' I’ll fix yon daring drake.
I’d like to get in such a lick
On Ben, for old time’s sake.’*
He raised the piece and forward leant
Above the vessel’s side,
Away the loaded missil W’ent
Across the turbid tide.
He knew not.that the gnn was charged
Wi • h double dealing death.
The way his nose was thus enlarged
It took away his breath.
The drake remained in statu quo
But Grover, where was he?
Ask of the eels that squirmed below
The wildly heaving sea.
But when he to the surface came
With wild and watery eyes,
And ruddy, full blown face aflame
With anger and surprise;
He saw the drake still floating there,
Qnoth he “That’s just my luck;
But yonder creature, fowl or fair
Must be*a dam slick duck!”
—Montgomery M. Folsom.
Threa Maidens at the Fair.
There were three young and winsome
maidens who made up their minds to
take in the exposition. They were prop
erly chaperoned by a seda’e married
couple, but it might have been an out of
date married couple, so far as they were
concerned. They had decided to enjoy
themselves and have a good time. They
journeyed by the fast male train to At
lanta and were ushered into the exposi
tion grounds.
They proceeded to take in the situa
tion. They rode on the wheel. They
shot the chutes. They captivated the
hut tamale man and made an impression
on the camels in the streets of Cairo.
But when the punster of the party told
the big Bactrian, Holy Moses, to hump
himself, the beast groaned in anguish.
They tried to find the concealed beauty
in the Mystic Maze, but each caught the
reflection of her own face and cri< d
■‘■‘Eureka!” till the Sighing Strephon. in
the Morish palace, smiled and winked
his other eye.
Then .they repaired to the fine arts
building .to look at the statuary. Ona of
them had been pursuing a new fad of
looking intently at the backs of the
heads of people and making them turn
around. Suddenly she halted her com
panions wish the remark:
“Pause, comrades, and behold the
power of concentrated attraction of the
human eye, backed up by the force of
superior intellectuality and magnetic
influence. Yonder man will turn his
head and look this way in a pair of min
utes. I have him transfixed.”
About that time a small party ap
proached the supposititiousindividual on
whom her gaze was fixed, after the man
ner of tne stony stare, and began to ex
amine him critically. “Wonderful
pose, ” said one. “Extremely realistic,”
observed another.
“A superb creation of the sculptor’s
art,” added the gentlemanly critic, “but
let’s move on, as those young ladies wish
to see it better.”
Then the hopes of our heroine fell
with a dull thud while her companions
gave her the equine smile.
Pursuing their investigations they
came to another elegant group of statu
ary, and not wishing the great, unsym
pirhetic world toever imagine that they
Were not all connoiseurs in art, they b -
gan to admire elegant sculptures, so
grand and realistic. They spoke vi ry
wisely of the different poses and
expressions.
“There is a splendid specimen,” re
marked maiden No. 2, “that man there
with his back to us in the uniform of a
Georgia colonel,” and sue gave the fig
ure a poke with her parasol which caused
the soldier to wheel about face with a
grunt of surprise. She found that it
was not a statue.
“Ye gods! Who did that?” he ex
claimed, bnt the culprit was fleeing for
life with her comrades close behind her.
lu the rash the three became separated
and two of them found themselves wan
dering along the banks of Clara Meer,
discon-olate. But they were not long in
ge'ting into the Woman’s building and
while looking about they cauuht sight
of t vo unsophisticated youths from Ath
ens. and soon those young men were
parting with their pocket money and
securing popcorn balls, marsh mallows
and weiuer wurst in return and all were
feastlug sumptuously.
The young Athenians thought that
they bad struck a good streak, but they
were very much crest-fallen when they
were given tne marble heart by the win
st me m'aide.Dß, who went on their way
rx-j.'ieiiig, seeking what else they might
devour. Later returns indicate that
the young m'ii may recover, bur. they
will mverloor like anything anymore.
Theirs is a sad fate, but only what
might have been expected by those who
khow the many attractions of. the maid
ens aforesaid.
Late in the evening the trio managed
to get together again and safely en
sconced in the coach under the carshed,'
they began tu practice their arts upon
divers and sundry young men who came
within reach of their fascinating graces.
Maiden No. 3 raised the window and
was carrying on a fast and furious flirta
tion with ayc nth on the outside, when
maiden No. 1 told her to pull the win
dow down, that she was freezing to
death by inches.
Maiden No. 3 was a dutiful girl and
did as she was bid, ahd pressed her
Grecian nose against the window pane
yearningly. Suddenly she heard a
terrible chattering behind her and
looking around Maiden No. 1 had
raised the window and was carrying
on the flirtation which Maiden No.
3 had been forced to leave off. Had
the been a man there would have been
enough sulphtflric fumes to have killed
all the yellow jackets in Georgia, but
being a weak and modest maiden, she
refrained from giving open expression
to the thoughts that raged in her
bosom. M. M. F.

When the summer of our lives is ended
When the winter draweth near,
Whether autumn time be cheerful,
Or “on its lid there hangs a tear.”
Our thoughts will oft turn backward
To that day of beauty rare
When with hearts so free and blithesome,
We rode upon dear Lake Beauclaire.
And as we sit and ponder
On Life’s chances gay or grave,
Each may be but some poor sailor
Or may be a captain brave.
Will our lives be like a vessel
On Life’s ocean tossed about
. By the waves of care and trouble
By men’s faith or by their doubt?
Or will we simply be contented
Just to siay and do our part,
And to do what duty bids us
With a cheerful, happy heart?
We’ll accept our lot submissive
If it be a vessel fair
Or be but a little “Thelma
On a quiet Lake Beanclaire.”

BRITISH PRESS ON MESSAGE
The maintenance of friendly relation!!
between Great Britain and the United
States is of such supreme importance
that we cannot but regret the tone in
which President Cleveland alluded to
the dispute with Venezuela.—London
Standard.
Regarding Samoa and Venezuela, the
message appears to be framed on lines
that Senator Chandler might approve.
The president appears to assume that
England must be wrong because she is
stronger than Venezuela.—London
Morning Post.
A worse financial muddle than Mr.
Cleveland stated it would be difficult to
conceive. Such is the result of tamper
ing with the currency for the supposed
relief of powerful interests. It is worth
the attention of our own currency doc
tors.—London Daily News.
Few honest critics can say anything
against the references to Venezuela. We
agree with the president that the mat
ter is eminently suited for impartial
arbitration. No doubt the British gov
ernment will take the same view when
reparation for injuries due us from
Venezuela is made.—Loudon Chronicle.
The failure of congress to embody
Mr. Cleveland’s proposed financial
measures in legislation would undoubt
edly give a severe shock to business con
fidence. We shall be greatly surprised if
the plan is not warmly welcomed in the
great commercial centers of the United
States, if Mr. Cleveland is right, as be
is regarded as being by dispassionate
observers here.—London Times.
CRUSTED SCALY SKIN
Torments Minister’s Family. Almost
Drove Wife Mad. Doctors Useless.
Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure by Cutlcura.
Three years ago my wife, four little children,
and myself were ain ic led with a crusty, scalv
disease of the skin. It tormented us all. Such
a plague I hope will never again visit my family.
My children’s ages were respectively nine, seven,
and four years, except the youngest, who was
only two months old. Os all our suffering, ny
wife suffered the most. It almost drove her
mad. The disease first made its appearance on
my wife’s back between the shoulders,and spread
across to her breast. It looked like it was cov
ered over with little scales. I first bought of a
drug store medicine for skin disease, which
failed todoany good whatever. I next employ e<l
adoctorwho gave relief for a short while. After
trying him for quite a while without effecting a
cure, I called in another doctor who proved to
do no better than the first. After this I bought
Cuticura Remedies of Messrs. Purcell, Ladd
& Co., Richmond, Va., having read of them in p
newspaper. Relief followed the first appi;
cation, and five or six sets cured all of us. Id<
not know what the disease was we had, i*
affected us all alike, but 1 do know Cuticura
cured us of that skin disease.
