FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1900.
Up to this date tlie present Legislature
lias killed more lulls limn any of its pre
decessors, for wliioli the people should
be duly grateful,
Edi'or C. E. Atkinson, of The People’s
Causa, Harlem, was in Thomson this
week aud gave us a pleasant call.
Congress met and organized on Mon
day last. The i’ri aident’a message is an
interesting doenment, but entirely 100
long fur even a synopsis in our columns.
The bill to amend the charter of Thom
son has passed the House and is now
before the Senate, It gives lo the Town
Council the power to establish Water
Works aud Electric Lights.
Rev. O. W. Duvall, the new Pastor of
tho Methodist church, has arrived iu
Thomson, and will commence his work
for the current year with an introductory
sermon on Hu inlay. He stands high as
a preacher in the Nortli Georgia Confer
ence, and bears the character of an earli
est, Ecalona laborer in t lie Master’s vine
yard, and a consecrated Christian min
ister. If the church will give him a
hearty, prayerful support liis labors in
this charge will accomplish much good.
The U. H. peuaion roll now contains
nearly one mil ieu iiaiiiia, to which ad
ditions are ooualsritly being made, not
withstanding the fact that it is more than
thirty-five years since the close of the
war, and many thousands of pensiousra
have dieil and are dying every year. The
plan in, when a pensioner dies, to con
tinue bis pension to his family or next of
kin to the thitd a ud fourth generation.
The estimate for the ensuing year culls
for 8142,000,000, which is an iuoreaio of
about 84,000,000 over the last appropri
ation.

A Wonderful Offer to Women.
Wo h*vo received word of a most remark
able offer which is to be mado to women by
The Delineator , of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The De'intalor offers to distri
bute $17,600 among J9OJ women. Tho plan
is so cleverly arranged that a woman living in
a small town or village, haw just ss good a
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in a city—because the prizes
aro given for the number of subscriptions
secured in a town in proportion to the popu
lation of that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest hut of
subscribers—which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in Bovon claasos. The cities of tho
greatest population aro grouped iu Claw 1,
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered aro twenty-eight; tho high
est prize being S6OO, and the lowest $6.00.
Tho total amount of prizes given sway in this
Class is SI,OOO. The remaining smaller towns :
and villages fall into six other classes, and as j
the uumber of towns in a class increases, be- I
cause, of course, there are more aro ail towns I
than large ones, the amount of prizes given ;
away to a class increases, so that in Clasa 7, 1
there will bo $4,000 distributed among 001
winners.
Furthermore, to ovoryono who fail* to win
one of the 196f prizes there will bo paid an
extra commiasion on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants of the town from which the con
testant sends them.
I Thia is altogether a very liberal offer, and
ono which the famous old Delineator is woll
able to m&ko good. From our point of view,
we do not soo why such an offer needs to be
made by tho Publishers of The DelmeaUrr, for
wo believe it already has nearly half a million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affuo
tions of American women has corao iu the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and homo matters.
