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. —D.

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. Mrs. Ten ie Dollar. Meridian, Miss.

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. r; 'i | Mother’s Ear I 71 IN MOTHER’S EAR: WHEN 9 Vj ■ r ' O9 S" v S AIV INFANT , AND IN THE 9 fj MONTHS THAT COME BEFORE THAT ■ TIME, £ « 9 SCOTT'S EMULSION f £ K ‘j SUPPLIES THE EXTRA STRENGTH ANO 9 ■l3 NOURISHMENT SO NECESSARY FOR ■ y THE HEALTH OF BOTH MOTHER ANO 9 ? ■ ’ Send for free sample.

BANNER SA LVE the most healing salve in the world* MU rTKEBk 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.
