THE CRACKER’S VACATION.
Long the fust few weeks o’ August an’ the las’ few o’ July,
Down in Georgy in the country atter craps is done laid by,
Is the lazy time o’ luxury, ez shore ez you air born —
When the squares is on the cotton an’ the tossel’s on the corn.
Then the plaguey Georgy nightingale’s a-standin’ in the stall,
Gittin’ rested from the summer, gettin’ ready fer the fall,
Then ther’ ain’t a thing a-doin’ from the ev’nin’ till the morn—
When the blossom’s in the cotton an’ the silks is on the corn.
Nothin’ doin’ but jes’ settin’ in the shade aroun’ the house,
Swappin' yarns an’ chawin' “mannyfac’ ” to set the livin “douce,”
Beatin’ cider, peelin’ peaches, livin’ higher ’an a king,
Curtin’ Georgy rattlesnakes what’s cool an’ frosty from the spring.
Then he ketches out ol’ Nellie from the paster where’ she’s been,
Xn’ he hooks.’er to the waggin an’ he loads the fambly in,
An’ they visit all the neighbors an’ relations round about,
Then they take in all the meetin’s—hear the sistrin sing an’ shout.
Then the dinner-trunk is loaded down with cakes an’ pies an’ things,
Heaps o’ yaller-legged chickens with the crisps’ golden wings,
An’ the Sadday ’fore the second Sunday up at Laurel Hill
Fin’s ’em at the all-day meetin,’ an’ enjoyin’ it fit to kill.
Then the singin’ at ol’ Sardis they air jest erbleeged to ’tend,
Wher’ the do-ra-me an’ fa-sol-la in harmony will blend;
Then at Antioch the yearly celebration’s alius fine,
An’ foot-washin’ at Moriah with baptizin’s right in line.
Then the exhibitions follow aii’ campmeetin’s now in sight;
Oh, the Georgy cracker takes his time to git religion right, •
An’ to visit, court, an’ celebrate ez shore ez you air born—
’Fore the fleece is on the cotton an’ the fodder’s off the corn.

THINGS TO BE DONE EVERY DAY.
Pray to your Father in heaven as
soon as you rise. Thank His good
ness in giving you life and in pre
serving it. Thank Him for health,
for a home, for parents, for friends,
and for all the good things of life.
Ask Him to continue His blessings,
and to keep you from every sin.
Make yourself clean, and keep your
self so. Neatness of person is one
of the surest marks of good breed
ing. Greet your parents and all
your brothers and sisters on first
meeting them, with a cheerful, kind
good-morning. Have a pleasant
voice, and keep a clean heart. At
table be polite, and eat slowly and
not to excess; help others sooner
than yourself; take not the best
piece from any dish. Study the
comfort and pleasure of others. Do
whatever you have to do in the best
manner you can. If you study,
study well; if you work, work well;
if you play, play well. Try to be
perfect in everything. Be just in
dealing-with others, and in speak
ing of others. Try to fe6l kindly
toward all living things. Think
over your conduct every day; and if
you have done any wrong thing,
remember that you have a spot on
your soul, which will grow larger
and larger, if you do not try to take
it out by repentance. Remember
that every day we should do some
good thing. The day is lost if we
have not made ourselves or others
better or happier. Before rest pray
for forgiveness of sin, for peaceful
sleep and a happy waking on the
morrow.

China’s Cotton Goods Trade.
One of the elements that has en
tered largely into the embarrass
ment of southern cotton manufactur
ing has been the cutting off of the
demand from China. Very nat
urally, therefore, the announcement
of the opening up of Manchuria has
given great satisfaction to southern
mill men. Interviews with our mill
presidents in Sunday’s Chronicle ex
pressed their estimate of this action
and its importance to southern mill
interests.
Secretary Hay is to be congratu
lated upon the successful part he
has borne in this important diplo
matic achievement. The next im
portant phase of the question is for
our mill men to take prompt advan
tage of the opportunity that is
offered them, and to study the
wants and idiosyncracies of the Chi
nese consumers. We have noted
frequent statements in the Consular
Reports to the effect that American
manufacturers do not make their
goods and pack them to please the
foreigners fancy, but carry out their
own ideas and try to force them on
the foreigner. Other nations are
content to give him what he wants,
and in this way they control markets
that the American manufacturer
might dominate if he would stoop
to conquer.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 6, 1903.
Treasury of Georgia.
The report of Hon. Robert E.
Park, treasurer of the state of Geor
gia, from Octobor to May
31, 1903, is an interesting statisti
cal publication. The balance in the
treasury October 1, 1902, was $511,-
180.21. The receipts from October
1, to May 31, 1903, were $3,350,-
525.91, making total receipts by the
treasurer, $3,861,706.12. The dis
disbursements for the same period
were $3,484,081.98; leaving a bal
ance in the treasury May 31, 1903,
ol $377,624.14.
The bonded indebtedness of the
State was shown to be $7,631,500
September 30, 1902. On the first
of January, 1903, the sixth install
ment of bonds was paid, amounting
to $92,000, and SB,OOO was set
aside, making SIOO,OOO paid, leav
ing a valid interest bearing debt at
the date of this report of $7,531,-
500.

Wealth of the Pope.
Leo’s fortune is immense. It is
one of the great fortunes of the
world. In the grand schism of the
West popes frequently supported
themselves on alms. Voltaire
points out that the popes did not
become rich till after the period
when they dared not to exhibit
themselves at Rome. According to
Villani, Bertrand de Got, or Goth,
Clement V. of Bordeaux, who
passed his life in France and was
governed by King Philip, sold ben
efices publicly and died worth 25,-
000,000 gold florins, about $37,500,-
000. “It appears,” says Voltaire,
“that the popes have been often
threated like the gods of the Jap
anese, who are sometimes presented
with offerings of gold, and some
times thrown into the river.”
“Negroes on Auction Blocks in
Kansas,” was the rather startling
headline in some of the papers a day
or two ago. But after all there
was nothing so sensational in the
items that followed. The negroes
voluntarily got on the blocks, to be
auctioned off to the highest bidders
for their labor in the harvest fields.
Bidding was lively, too, and some
husky colored men fetched as much
as $3.50 per day wages. So urgent
is the demand for labor in Kansas
just now that farmers are holding
up trains and offering passengers
from $2.50 to $3.50 to work in their
wheat fiplds.

Beautiful Thoughts
The sweet, pure breath of the babe is sug
gestive of innocence and health. Some chil
dren are as light and delicate as the modest
flower, some are strong and bright, some are
frail and sickly.
A mother’s yearning for children is insep
arable from a love of the beautiful, and it
behooves every woman to bring the sweet
est influence to bear on the subject of her
maternity.
To make easy that period when life is
born again,
Mother’s friend
is popularly used. It is a liniment, easily
administered and for external use only.
No risk, no experiment, merely a pain
reliever and harmless.
Pregnant women are earnestly entreated
to try this remedy, it being undeniably a
friend tq_her during nature’s terra of sus
pense, tears and anticipation.
Mother’s Friend, if used diligently
throughout gestation, will soften the breasts,
thereby preventing cracked and sore nipples.
All tissues, muscles and tendons straining
with the burden will soften, relax, become
soothed, supple and elastic from its contin
ued application.
All fibres in the abdominal region will re
spond readily to the expanding cover contain
ing the embryo if Mother’s Friend is ad
ministered externally all during pregnancy.
All tellablo druggists sell this remedy for
$1 per bottl?.
A really valuable treatise on motherhood
will bo sent free, if you write us.
