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. n„ power is so strong to build up a town as a newspaper properly tronized -'’ -- 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 was set in nmipariel and headed “Sheriff’s Sale.” „ He’s , „ Hot in .U the , Collar „ Men espouse their own cause vote their convictions.

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.— Press and Printer. 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.

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.

In view of his 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.

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.
