A BIG CROP SURE. .
From indications the earth and fence
corners, garden spots and potato patch
es - are going to be put in cottun this
year. And if it is done woe be unto the
farmer next fall, when cotton sells for
5 cents a pound. - McKinley prosperity
won’t be here then, but the land will
be filled with sighs and groans and la
mentations, and the blistering mortgage
will again be spread on the farms and
crops. But then such is the wayward
nese of this wicked and perverse gener- ‘
ation. No amount of experience teaches
us anything. < l
~ QUEEN VICTORIA DEAD.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria of Eng
land is dead. Her death took place
Tuesday evening at6:3o p. in.(Marietta
time 12:30). She had reigned Queen
for 64 years and her rule has been most
righteout and beneficent. She was a
Christian woman, whose fidelity and
loyalty was unswerving. Kngland has
prospered and been blessed under her
government.” Her son, Albert Edward
VII, Prince of Wales, is now King.
His life has been one of sport and en
joyment, and he lacks those solid ele
ments which a wise ruler should pos
sess. Bot the devolving of responsi
bility may develop eand disclose true
greatness.
DUPED FRAZER'S BROTHER.
Mr. N."H. Frazer, of Union Springs,
Ala., whose son, Bass, was kidnaped
several weeks ago while a student at
the Technological school in Atlanta,
has apparently lost $5OO by a decoy let
ter sent him.
Mr. Frazer received a letter stating
that if he would place $5OO in gold, the
amount he offered for his son, in a sack
with a peek of potatoes and proceed
along the road near the United States
federal prison, several miles from the
city, he would be met by a negro, whp
would ask: ‘‘Massa has you got dem
potatoes?”" ke was to deliver the sack
and its contents to the negro and his
son would appear at a hotel in Atlanta
looking for his father at an early hour
Sunday morring.
The letter was signed “‘Packard,”
mailed in Atlanta. dated January 16,
and the instructions were minute and
specifie. Threats in case of exposure
and failure to carry out the instruct
ions were frequently made in it.
Mr. Frazer’s son, a brother of the
kidnapped boy, carried out the plan of
the letter, met the negro as arranged,
gave him the money and potatoes Sat
urday night.
Sunday morning he wagat the hotel
mentioned and remained there all day,
but Bass Frazer did not appear and no
trace of him or the persons who receiv
ed the $5OO can he found.
A MOONSHINER’S ORPHANS SAYED
BY THE ORPHANS' HOME.
“I make me a run of liquor,” swid
the six-yeur-old orphan who had just
come to the North Georgia Orphans’
llomge at Decatur, as he picked up a
piece of pipe. *‘What do you knbdw
about liquor?’” “My pa, he made
liquor; I make liquor.” These words
came from thislittle fellow whose brain
was very small. still he and his older
brother and sister had sense enough to
learn to make liquor, and if neglected
to make enemies to good government
and to your good children. :
They had had a very sad life. sur
rounded with poverty and ignorance
and such moonshiner influence. This
culminated when in one night both
father and mother died, and were laid
in the same g“:w. These were left
alone in the world, and yet not alone,
for God, their Father. opened the Or
phans’ Home to them. Few realize the
good done by these homes.
About the time these came to De
eatur, four lovely little boys came from
the arms of the dying christian widow
ed mother, who plead that before she
died she might know that her babies
would be cared for. *
These Orphans’ Homes are guaran
tees to every one that in case they are
destitute, their little ones will be cared
for as the lambs of God.
LIVE WITHOUT TOIL.
One of the greatest curses of society
as now constituted, is that too many
people want to live without toil. Every-'
body is willing enough to be boss, but
somebody else must do the work. Now,
this is all wrong, and the result is
mortgages and misery. The Creator
never made a man or woman tdo good
to do a fair share of honest toil, and
those who shirk their duty in this line
are only breeding trouble. There is
work to do everywhere—in the office,
on the farm, in the store, in the work
shop, at the bank counter, and in all
the departments of life. Blessed is the
man who cheerfully and faithfully per
forms the work his hands find to do,
for therein alone is the true philosophy
and genuine happiness of this life.
. BLAMES THE CONDUCTOR.
During the Christas holidays a
young man named Nelson, sbout 20
years old was on the A. K. & N. passen
ger train in the Tennessee end of the
line. He wasdrinking, actingdisorderly
and smoking in the ladies coach. Con
ductor Wade Dobbs remonstrated with
him time and again. The young man
finally went to the platform of the rear,
coach and began firing off hi§ pistol.
Conduector Dobbs went to him and told
' him he would have to arrest him and
i turn him over to the Tennessee author
‘ities, as conductors are empowered as
police officers on their trains. The
young man was seated, but watched
his opportunity and jumped from the
fast moving train. The result was he
was 80 badly injured that he died in
two days time. The father of the
young man now has issued a warrant
for Conductor Dobbs charginghim with
murder and is going to sue the road
for damages. Of eourse there is noth
iug in the casge. i
: LECTURE.
Mr. Herbert Hudson McAuley, a dis
tinguished surgeon and scholar of Chi
cago, will lecture at Black’s Opera
House. Thursday night at 8 o’clock,
January 24th, under the auspices of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
funds will be used to improve the Con
federate Cemetery. Dr. McAuley has

ca from the hostilities between the
Boers and British, where he served for
twelve months as a surgeon under Gen.

seven weeks was a prisoner of war of
the British. On his return to America
he was imprisoned at Lourenso Mar
gueze b! the Portuguese government
for six days. He s a brilliart talker,
and his wide experiences in this totally
unknown country will be highly enter
taining. This is a worthy ecause, and

cemetery, and it is hoped that a large

CHICAGO GLEE CLUB.
On Tuesday night, Febraary 12th, at
Black’s Opera House, the Chicago Glee
Club will give a first-class entertain
ment for the benefit of the School Li
brary of the Public Schools. his elub
is composed of six artists, four male
and two female voices. The entertain
ment will be of high order and one that
the citizens will appreciate.
This Club was engaged by the Super
intendent of the Public Schools for the
purpose of raising funds for a school li
brary. The time has come when good
and efficient work cannot be dqone un
less therg is a first class library con
nected with the school. The good re
sults of a library are many. For want
of space I can only name some reasons
why it is essential that we have a
school library. :
1. The education gained at school, at
best, must be wmeagre. This may be
and should be supplemented by extens
ive reading after the school life is fin
ished. If this work is to be done well,
and undgr favorable conditions, the pu
pil must while in school, not only be
trained th like good literature, but al
go, if possible, to use a library intelli
gently.
2d. Pupils while in school sliould be
taught to know and to love good litera
ture, to use reference bookss, to econo
mise time in reading, through the use
of tables of contents, page-headings,
ete.
| 4. Training pupils to read and love
"good literature is by far the most im
. portant work done by the teacher in
| the school. There is nothing else- that
'a teacher can do comparable to it in
.value. Tltis the one thing that the |
school does that continues to contrib
| ute to one’s education so long as he
i lives. We should not forget that it is
| not the ability to read. but the use
. made of that ability, that contributes
! to the destiny of a child. |
{ 5. Some one has said that education
| consists in the formation of habits and
| the acquisition of tastes. This is cer
! tainly the case so far as reading is e¢on
; cerned and all the school and library
; can do, is necessary to the best success
. in the nature of forming correct read
{ ing habits and good taste in literature.
| 6. The child that by the age of 14 has
i not read Robinson Crusoe, Hiawatha,
' Pilgrim’s Progress, Stories of the
Greek Heroes, Lays of Ancient Rome,
‘ Gulliver’s Travels, Arabian Nights,
{ Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, Court
ship of Miles Standish, Tales of a Grand
l father, Marmion, Lady of the Lake, the
story of Ulysses, of Trojan War, of
Siegfried, of William Tell, of John
Smith, of Columbus, of Washington, of
i Lee, of Jackson, of Napoleon, the boy
ior girl who has grown up to the age of
14 without the chance to read and thor
oughly enjoy these books has been roY
bed of ]a great fundamental right; a
right which can never be made good by
any subsequent privileges or grants.
7. 1t is a dangerous t%\ing to teach a
child how to read and not to teach him
what to read.
This movement is one in which every
citizen of the town should be interest
ed. Encourage the movementin every
way you can. If youcannot attend the
concert buy a ticket any way. Remem
ber that good books are cheap and that
$lOO will give us a good start.
