Dr. W. P. Delaperrierc, of Hosch
Has Sold $120,000 Worth of
the Staple This Season.
Dr. W. P. Delaperriere, of
HoBchtou, is in the city today

congratulations of his friends on
his good fortune. Dr. Delaper¬
riere has just sold his cott<n

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
One of the Number Tells How the
Weekly Paper Benefit* its
Town and County.
The business of running n
try newspaper is precarious ut
best. Only now and then we find
one making a fortune. The ma
jority of them are published at a
lo38. Yet they are a prime neces
sity to the people. A town of any
pretentions without a newspaper
is behind the times, and no live
enterprise in any community re¬
pounds more to its credit and
prosperity. I
The town’s paper is its faithful
index—its sentinel on the watch
tower. Is there a new enterprise
to be advocated, fostered, encour¬
aged? the paper is its mouthpiece.
Is there a business to be built up?
the paper Ends its powerful aid.
Has a village special advantages,
natural or otherwise, which, if
known would draw public atten¬
tion thereto, enhance values and
increase population? the paper is
the vehicle to carry the glad tid¬
ings abroad. And many a town
has been actually lifted from ob¬
scurity and set upon a hill, so to
speak, through the energetic work
of this modest newspaper man.
This is a fact that will not down.
Yet how few people appreciate
this truth. The yearly subscrip¬
tion to the paper is a trivial ex¬
pense which anybody can well af¬
ford. Yet, a great majority get
along without the home paper,
and feel as it they had accom¬
plished a great saving of money,
many subscribe for the big weekly
editions of the daily newspapers,
and they think they havedonethe
proper thing; and yet they never
see in their columns anything
about their own town and county
affairs. The home paper is a
weekly photograph of things hap¬
pening in and amund the county
and which can be found nowhere
else.
The merchant who advertises in
his home paper shows that he is
iot only an up-to-date business
man but liberal as well. Allows
that, he believes in the success oi
his town, and knows that the
money he spends with ihe local
press is bound to show him good
and profitable results.—Bain
oridge Argus.

EMOlfY BOYS VISIT ATLANTA.!
Over One Hundred Strong They
Had Their Photos Taken
Tuesday.
f^vef one hundred Emory hoys
went (n Atlanta Tuesday to have
pictures taken,
It has been the custom for twen
ty-fiv®years past for the Senior
class of Emory college, also mem
hers of the fraternity societies, to
visit Atlanta in a body for this
purpoie.
Each member of the c’uss be
fore OTi.duat ion in June exchanges
pictures with every other member,
and one large group is presented
to t he college which is hung in
the college Library hall.
'this custom is more fully car¬
ried out at Emory than at any
other institution in the Slate.
Mr. Sudlow In New York.
Harry Sudlow, the gentleman
who put in our excellent electric j
light plant two years ago, is now
at Schenectady, N. Y. He is in
the testing department of the Geu
eral Electric Co., one of the larg¬
est electrical houses in the world.
In a jetter written to home paper
last week he says “that 10,000
rnenwre at work tor the company,
all wpll educated and mainly col
lege graduates in electrical engi¬
neering. They are here from
Maiil to California, from Oregon
to Tixas, from Brazil, New Zeal
andfcliina, Japan, India, Austra¬
lia, JpVest Indies, Sweaden and
Norway, It is rather surprising
to w*rk with a Chinaman, Jap or
Hi , and find that he speaks
three or four languages and is
throughly up in tlia theory of elec¬
trical engineering, and probably a
Gray pass mathmetician to boot,
ScUjpiectady is a city of 50,000
people of all nations and creeds.
It ’ totally dependert upon the

American Locomotive Works, who
employ, the first, about 10,000,
and the latter some 6,000 men, and
pay in wages nearly <250,000 per

An invitation from Mrs. E. O.
L o to a reception lor Thursday
I afternoon was read and accepted
by the club, and, I may here add
that it proved t<> be an occasion
nmst charming in every detail.
I’be question of th' j two clubs
muting their clTi its in the estab
idiment of a Woman's Exchange
was brought up and discussed
iwit.li j much enthusiasm. A rising
| vote of thanks was given the re¬
tiring committee, who has 30 ably
arranged the Club’s programme
for the past three montlis. Mrs.
Harry Stone, Mrs. Arnold and
Mrs. .Mathews composed the com¬
mittee.

In honor of Washington’s birth¬
day the Sergeant Newton Chapter
I). A. R., gave a Colonial Tea on

profusion of yellow flowers, and
le dining room, many candles

threw a soft light over the pow
hair and quaint dresses of
the dames, who sat, and chattered
over their tea cups.
Mrs. Bogle, Mrs. Lee Harde¬
man, Mrs. Godfrey and Miss An¬
nie Higgins furnished seme ue
