Colli? P. Huntington, president
the Southern Pacific railway, died sud

great capitalists and railroad magnates
of the gountry, and his wealth is esti
mated at $50,000,000.
The announcement of Capt. J.
Crabb as a candidate for Ordinary ap
pears in this issue. He is one of Polk
most popular citizens, a man of educa
t.ion well qualified for the office, and
gallant old Confederate soldier.
Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, was
a visitor here last Thursday, and it is
needless to say that this distinguished
Democrat was a welcome visitor in
Cedartown. He was Secretary of the
Interior under President Cleveland’s
administration, and is a gentleman of
national reputation and prominence.
, f. Smith has recently purchased
of the AY. M. and J. H. West place, south
of town, and was here last week to
inspect his purchase. He is greatly
pleased at all he saw in Polk, our rare
combination of rich farming lands and
untold mineral wealth meeting liis full
appreciation. He is delighted with
his purchase in this section, arid Polk
is especially pleased at having this
distinguished statesman as an in
vestor within her borders.

The Grand Jury of Bartow gave its
County Commissioners a hot roast last
week, charging that they have paid
themselves more than the law allows
and that one of the members of the
board who has a store lias taken ad
vantage of his position to furnish sup
plies for the county.
Miss Agnes, the talented daughter
of Prof. J. C. Harris of Home, has
been selected to receive the Georgia
scholarship in the Oread Institute
Worchester, Mass., the greatest indus
trial female college in the country,
This bright young lady has many rela
tives and friends here who congratu
late her on her good fortune.
Another prize fight was held in New
..York last Friday night, and ex-cham
pion Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out
Gus Kuhlin in the sixth round. The
New York press used to call it an evi
dence of barbarism when these con
tests were held in Louisiana or Florida
' but it is evidently all right now for
the sports—and their money—to come
to New York.
The speeches of acceptance of Hons.
Wm. J. Bryan and Adlai Stevenson
of the nomination of the Democratic
party for Presidentand Vice President,
were plain,clear and forcible presenta'
tions of the issues of the campaign
and appeal strongly to all thinking,
fair-minded people. The position
the Democratic standard-bearers
greatly strengthened by these patriotic
and statesmanlike utterances.
It seemed pretty hot here last week,
but it was nothing to what they had
“up North.” There were thirty deaths
from the heat Saturday in New’ York
and a dozen in Chicago. In Ohio it
was so hot that it is reported a baby
fell into a pail of ice water and was
scalded to death, blocks of ice set fire
to the wagon in which they were being
delivered, and some enormous hail
stones set fire to fields. We are in
dined to believe it was pretty hot
there.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
says that the oil department is in fine
condition. He has heard of no low
grade oil being in the state since last
year, and only a few days ago he sent
out letters to the various oil inspectors
complimenting their work. An At
lanta chemist who desired to make
some experiments needed some low
grade oil several days ago and had to
send to Alabama to get it.—Atlanta
Journal.
The farmers of Georgia are urged
by Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association,to meet at their respective
county sites on the first Tuesday in
September for the purpose of organ
ization to secure a higher price for
their cotton. Farmers, bankers, mer
chants, ginners, and all others who
may be interested, are accordingly in
vited to meet at the Court House at 12
m., Tuesday, Sept. 4th, to effect an or
ganization for Polk county.
The case of Bradford vs. the Samuel
Benedict Memorial School was ap
pealed by the latter to the Supreme
Court, and the decision of the Polk
Sqperior Court was reversed in part
andjaflirmed in part. The decision of
the Supreme Court is a sweeping vic
tory for the contention of the School,
arid establishes a far-reaching prece
dent. Under it a parent can have no
voice in the selection of studies for his
child, the teacher being the sole
judge as to the pupil’s capabilities.
The child must either follow the di
rection of the teacher implicitly in the
matter of course of study, or else sub
mit to such punishment as the teacher
chooses to inflict, not even excepting
expulsion.
The announcement of Dr. D. M.
Russell as a candidate for re-election
as County Commissioner appears in
this issue, and we are of the opinion
that he will have no opposition to his
re-election. He has been the faithful
chairman of the Board for the past
four years, and both the other clever
members of that body—Messrs. H. N_
Sheffield and J. C. Iland-positively
decline to stand for re-election. The
interests of the county demand that
at least one of the members of the
Board should be thoroughly familiar
with county affairs, and we believe
that the Legislature would do well to
amend our local law in such a way that
the,terms of all the Commissioners
ywould not expire at the same time.

FOR THE PARK.
FESTIVAL TO BE GIVEN EVERY
THURSDAY EVENING.
Everybody Pulling Together for
the Park, which will a Thing
of Beauty.
Cedartown people are pulling to-
provement project,—
And that means that it is snre to be a
This is especially true when the good
ladies of Cedartown have any enterprise
GOOD for the farmers.
Mr. John Green, one of Polk’s best
farmers, will operate a new corn-
shredder in Polk this season, and all
farmers desiring the services of this
fine new machine on their farm should
drop him a card at Cedartown and pre
pare their crop for it.
The fodder does not want to be
pulled, but the corn must be cut and
shocked. The stalks are fed into the
machine, which shucks the corn and
then cuts up the stalks and leaves into
the best possible shape for feeding to
stock. Under the present fodder
pulling system much nutriment is al
lowed to go to waste, but this machine
saves it all.
Many of our best farmers will use
the shredder this year for the first
time, and they confidently expect to
be greatly benefited thereby. ,
STREET FAIR FOR < EDARTOWN
When Cedartown has her 4th of July
celebration next year, why not incor
porate a Street Fair With it lasting
three or four days ?
Such a fair would pay our merchants,
and would be a good thing in every
way for our town. Rome had a suc
cessful one last week,which drew large
crowds from this entire section. Just
as an instance of “how the old thing
works,” we might mention the fact
that a certain Cedartown man bought
at one of the Rome stores twelve pairs
of shoes: He could have bought them
just as good and just as cheap in Ce
dartown, but the street fair gave him
and bis family a cheap excursion to
Rome and put him in buying humor
This is only a single instance, but we
believe that it will pay our enterpris
ing merchants to thoroughly investi
gate the matter and accept The Stand
ard’s -suggestion.
Cedartown will entertain the big
Firemen’s Tournament in May next
year, and will gain some valuable ex
perience which would be of great
service for a street fair. Cedartown
can make it a big success. The only
question is. Does Cedartown want to
undertake it?
in charge, as is the case with our new
city park.
The project is one thst appeals natur
ally to our people, for—aside from their
own personal enjoyment—they know
that every visitor to Cedartown is taken
to onr famous Big Spring, and that at
tractive snrronndings there will be of
great practical valne to the city.
The generous donation of $100 by
Col. C. P. Ball, the popular manager of
the E. & W., has formed a nucleus for
a park fund built up by smaller contri
butions, with which a handsome band
pavilion will be erected, bridges and
fences bnilt, and the grounds otherwise
beautified.
Plans have been prepared and bids
are being received for the pavilion, ard
the near fatnre will see a pretty pagoda-
roofed bnilding ornamenting the
grounds,' from which onr excellent
Bangh-Zimmerman Band can discourse
sweet music at will.
The ladies of the Park Association
propose giving a series of ice cream
fetivals this summer for the benefit of
the park fnnd,and will hold them every
Thursday evening at the park.
There was a big turn-out Tuesday
evening at the festival, and the ladies
could have disposed of twice as much
ice cream and cake. The threatening
aspect of the weather seemed likely to
cause a postponement, bnt Dr. D. M.
Bussell, chairman of the board of
County Commissioners, kindly con
sented that the entertainment for this
public purpose be given in the Court
House corridors, and it was a success m
every way. The Bangh-Zimmerman
Band gave a splendid open air concert,
which was greatly appreciated, as is
every public appearance of this excel
lent organization.
Hereafter these weekly festivals will
be held on Thursday evenings. Onr
merchants have the thanks of the ladies
for their kind assistance.
The ladies are responding quite
readily to the reqnest for $1 each for
the purpose of fenciDg the park.
The park project has passed its in
itial stages of uncertainty, and its suc
cess is now assured. It will be a credit
to Cedartown, and onr people can be
proud of it. Of conrse, the more peo
ple work for it, the better it will be,and
everybody should do all in their power
to help the ladies of the Park Associa
tion in their laudable efforts to beau
tify the city’s property.
THE JURY LIST.

A new machine for harvesting corn
has recently been purchased by A. H.
farmer of this
McBryde, a progressive
section. It is called a shredder, and
its 1
functions are to cut and bind the
corn into bundles. After the corn is
dried and hauled to the barn, the
shedder threshes it from the ear, then
cuts the stalk and fodder into pieces
and packs them into bales like hay.
Thus with the stalk, shuck and fodder
quantity of forage is saved which is
generally wasted.
We bope.tbis machine will give per
fect satisfaction to its purchaser, as we
bear quite a nice little sum is invested
' i it.

Women are Like
Healthy and strong
U WC'l CSo they blossom
and bloom. Sickly, they wither and
die. Every woman ought to look v/ell
and feel well. I t’s her right and duty,
but she might as well try to put out a
fire with oil as to be healthy and at
tractive with disease corroding the
organs that make her a woman. Upon
their health depends her health. If
there is inflammation or weakening
drains or suffering at the monthly
period, attend to it at once. Don’t
delay. You're one step nearer the
grave every day you put it off.
Women can stand a great deal, but
they cannot live forever v/ith disease
dragging at the most delicate’ and
vital organs in their body. You may
have been deceived in so-called cures.
We don’t see how you could help it—
there is so much worthless stuff on
the murket. But you won’t be dis
appointed in Bradfield’s Female Reg
ulator. We believe it is the one medi
cine on earth for womanly ills. There
is as much difference between it and
other so-called remedies as there is
between right and wrong. Bradfield’s
Female Regulator soothes the pain,
stops the drains, promotes regularity,
strengthens, purifies and cleanses. It
does all this quickly and easily and
n a t u rally. Itisforwomenalonetode-
cide whether they will be healthy or
sick. Bradfeld’s Regulator lies at
hand. $1 p r bottle at drug store.
