i i We are preaching a doctrine
1 that we believe to be sound, and
that doctrine is this : The only 7
way to stop falling prices is to in¬
crease the amount of money 7 to be
exchanged for property. A rising
dollar is simply a dollar that con¬
tinues to buy more and more and a
dollar cannot buy more and more
and more unless the products of
toil sell for less and less.”—Wil-
Ham I Bryan in Indiana.
Dr. Talmage, the renowned ora
tor, says : “A newspaper whose col-
umns overflow with advertisements
of business men has more influence
in attracting attention to and build-
People go where there is business.
Capital and labor will locate where
there is an enterprising community.

a town as a newspaper properly

The democratic party 7 ” 7 ould be
better off without such barnacles as
are some papers in Georgia which
espouse the silver cause because the
people of the state has espoused it,
and not to get on the band wagon
would “bust them flat” in short or¬
der. They are having their re¬
venge now by knifing democracy
for the enforced ride.
It does seem that the Atlanta
lournal would by this time
have gotten thoroughly satisfied in
stabbing the democracv (which it
claims to support) and free
in ♦ he back. This also applies to
the Gainesville Eagle. If you are
for McKinley, gentlemen, say so
do not sail under false colors any
longer.
T l.e papers that cUibto be dem-
erratic ami to support the demo-
crutic nominees for nresident and
vice-president but which are at all
times knifing them with arguments
against silver to say the least sav

ors of traitorism.
There tyas a man once on a time
who thought himself wondrous wise ;
He swore by all the fabled gods
he’d never advertise. But his
goods were advertised ere long,
thereby 7 hangs a tale: the ad

“Sheriff’s Sale.”

The average country newspaper
is very much alive, yet men with
murder in their hearts sometimes
succeed in killing it. You can
help on the world by letting your
subscription go ; it’s only a dollar or
two, the publisher doesn’t need it.
If he asks you for it get mad and
order the paper discontinued;
you’ll never miss it; you can bor¬
row' your neighbor’s copy. When
the reporter calls, pretend to be
pressed with business and make
him feel that he is an intruder. If
the advertising or job solicitor ap¬
pears, give him the marble heart.
Never drop in to see the editor un¬
less you want a free notice or an
obituary published for a beloved
relative. Never recommend the
paper to any one. If the editor
has a personal failing or infirmity,
make it your business to let every¬
body know it. Don’t be afraid to
speak out. Whatever the man
may be he probably knows more
than you do and is too high mind¬
ed to retaliate in kind. Pursue this
course for a year or two and you
will have a dead newspaper and a
dead town, in which event you will
find your occupation gone and will
have no further excuse for living.—

An Enormous Show.
To say that “there is nothing
new under the Sun.” after witness-
ing a performance of L B. Lent’s
great Railway Show would be an
expression equalled only by 7 saying
that “The days of progress had
had ceased. Tins aggregation of
j the creme de la creme is a verita-
ble epitome of the best, the great
and the greatest, the curious of all
the curiosities, the finest of all tlie
fin f. fixings >n mutters of parapher-
nalia. the choicest of all that is
cute ’ cunning and curious, and in
taCt Lent’s ripe experience
has be e ? utilized to the fullest in
. and exhibit-
or ganizing, arranging
mg so much of the best features of
modern show business. They 7
have struck the key-note in placing
a big show on the road. I here is
all to see that mortal man could
expect, and more than one could
enumerate in a column. Suffice it
to say that the show is as good as
anybody’s; the circus is all the word
implies, and the trained animals are
marvels of wisdom, ’ wit and won-
deri and the whole outfit is worth
of the confidence of everybody.—

six pounds on the p. m. of the

it ?

SLAIN BY HER GRANDSON.
St. Clair Glover, Well-known
Young Man of Clarkesville,
Confesses to the Crime.
Clarkesvslle, Oct. 17—Mrs. F.
Y. Glover, an old lady, who resided
in the country about four miles
from here,, was found murdered in
her bed late yesterday afternoon,
and this morning her giandson, St.
Clair Glover, a well known young
man, was arrested for the crime.
He has confessed his guilt and im¬
plicated a deaf and dumb brother.
Clarkesville is much wrought up
but no fear of mob violence is en¬
tertained. Young Glover is cool
and'does not apparently regret the
deed or realize the extent of his
crime. Fie has never been consid-
ered an exemplary young man, but
rather trifling, though deemed any-
thing but criminal in his instincts,
Mrs. Glover’s murdered body
was discovered by neighbors late
yesterday afternoon. Her fa^e
was black and swollen, and there
were finger prints upon her throat
The coroner was at once sent for
and evidence adduced at the in-
quest implicated St. Clair, the
grandson. Marshal Flicks arrest-
ed him this morning and the young
man calmly 7 acknowledged his
guilt, but assigned no motive. He
said that he had entered the old la-
dv’s room during the previous night
with his deaf and dumb brother. Mrs.
Glover was awakened, and sitting
up in bed demanded who they
were. For answer, St. Clair
caught her by the throat and ap¬
plied a rag saturated with chloro¬
form to her nostrils, holding it
there until she was dead.
Conscious of the value of the ex-
ceptionaliy rich contents of
1 ie October number of the Art
| Amateur, the publisher makes the
generous offer of sending to our
readers who quote this notice, a
specimen copy of the magazine,
together with a valuable little man¬
ual entitled “Practical Hints for
Beginners in Painting,” post free,
on receipt of 25 cents, the usual
price of the magazine being 35
cents a number, or $4 a year. Such
a chance should be seized upon at
once, for we certainly do not re-
member to have seen a number of
the Art Amateur packed so full of
papers of practical value to the art-
1 st, art student and industrial art
worker, as is the October issue.
The Color Supplements given free
are a charming sea piece by 7 C.H.
; Bogert, entitled “Waiting for the
Tide,” and a Dutch scene by
Volkmar. There is also a full-page
j Charcoal study by Geo. H.

intentions to do so, about thirty of
his friends including Miss May Toot
of Grand Rapids, gathered at home
of his cousin, Mrs W. L. Cobb, to
give him a peasant farewell surprise,
About half past eight Misses Clara
Sylvester and Vera Cobb went af-
ter George asking him to come over
a little while. George was wil-
j arj d those who saw him when
he entered the door and discovered
the assembled friends, did not
doubt that he was thoroughly
prised. But he soon recovered his
self-possesson and with music and
games, and refreshments of ice-
cream, cake, and candy, all
enjoyed themselves, saying at the
close that it had been one of
their most pleasant evenings, and
bidding George good bye and good
luck.—Middieville (Mich. ) Sun.

Possibilities of Southern Soil.
A farmer in Decatur county,
Georgia, has sold his tobacco crop
this season for $6,000. A trucker
near Plant City, Fla., this year re¬
alized $375 from one hundred hills
of pepper. O. E. Ringland, of
Dooley county, Georgia, made
fifty bales of cotton on fifty acres
and gathered three hundred bush-
els of corn off of six acres, R. C.
Hall, of DeLand, Fla., gathered
and sold 16,800 bunches of greens
and ninety-six bushels of onions
fro.m one twelfth of an acre. A
Mitchell county (Georgia) farmer
last year made 500 bushels of
sweet potatoes on one acre, and
this year made forty barrels of syr-
up per acre. This is an object ies-
son, teaching that the possibilities
of Southern soil are very great,
and adapted to a large diversity of
productions.
