BALDWIN READERS For years there has been a demand for a series of Readers which would meet the requirements of the common schools of Georgia. Baldwin’s Readers fill the bill. They are not toy picture books with baby talk of “The cat on the Mat,” etc., but are written so as to be most be'pful to the teacher and at the same time so as to advance the pup'* in the most [approved manner. In the higher Readers of Baldwin’s series, the pupil is introduced to the best lit erature of our language The binding is perfect. They are the most popu lar readers in Georgia although only one year old. In every sense they are modern and and up to date, yet they are by far the cheapest readers on the market. milne’s arithmetic.

English Analysts, synthesis and parsing go hand-in-hard Lh.igrauiing is presented in a simple, concise manner, but may he omitted if the teacher so desires.

The success of Admiral Dewey at Manilla has roused the genealogists of Doretshire to point out that he is descendant from a family who emi grated flora Doretshire in 1633 and settled down in a town of the same name in the American colonies * It will be remembered that the hero of Thomas Hardy’s “Under the Green wood Tree” i. a Dorset man called Dick Dewey. The country is evidently proud of the reputation for good fighter* which the last few months have brought it by the deeds of its two sons, Private ,Vickery aid Admiral Dewey.—St. James Gazette. Bravery Unparalleled. A writer in the Constitution of recent date recites a thrilling event n the late war, which for coi l brav ery surpassed, if possible, even the splendid deed of Hobson in blocking the channel at Santiago, and far eclipses that of Cushing in sinking the Albemarle' This submarine boat of which mention is herein made was constructed by the Con structed by the Confederates tor the purpose of attacking and destroying the enemy’s ships- She was designed to pass under the enemy, dragging a floating torpedo, which would ex plode when brought in contact with the hull. Her crew consisted of nine men, volunteers all. They all perished in the first trial she made. When their dead bodies were lifted from the boat their places were taken by other volunteers. The second trial resulted as the first one did, in the death of every man engaged in it Again were the de ad bodies re moved, again were their places prompt ly taken by volunteers, who perished in iheir turn, as had their predeeess ors Then the fourth volunteer crew; led by Lieutenant Dixon, of the Con federate States’ navy, stepped into this boat for another trial, and she sailed out of ha lesion hsrbi r. attacked and sunk the Housatonie, of the enemy's fl-et, and disappeared forever with her crew.—Ex, Health of Soldiers in Cuba. Genej'U Shafter’s message to the departments on yesterday is of great est interest because it gives the first official information concerning the health of the army under bis com mand. lie asserts that, there are only one hundred men on the sick list, out of the more than fifteen thousand that ate gathered at Santiago. Th sis a remarkable and very en couraging showing. The troops, have for weeks been on the south coast of Florida and, this, may have served to prepare them for the Cubau climate. It was not expected how ever. that they w> u and be able to stand the hot sun and the burdens of the opening days of the Santiago cam naign so well. It is exceedingly gratifying to know that tiie anticip: ted losses from disease have tints tar been avoided and that the army is in such perfect fighting condition. Georgia Wheat. There will probudly oe more wheat garnered m Georgia tuis season than has been the case in a very longtime, if ever before. Farmers in the north ern part of the state planted an in creased acreage of wiieat and other cereals last season, and w ere so well pleased with the result that they will plant considerably more this year. In Milton, Col b, Cherokee aud ad joining eotn h s there will be large wheat acreages. If these counties will just keep planting wheat for a few years, they will find that hundreds of thoutauds of debars which thty send away for flour will stay at home an l j remain in the loi al circulation.- — Athens Banner SSOO REWARD, will be paid for any case of rheuma tism winch cannot be cured by Dr: Drummond’s ’Lightening Remedy. This offer is made in good faith bv the proprietors, and there is no reas onable excuse for anyone to suffer longer. An ordinary- case will be cured by one bottle. In addition to the reward for difficult cases, the ntofiey is always refunded when the remedy fails to cure. The price of a ! bottle is $5, and that is the cost ot a | cure. Drummond Medicine Cos,, New York. Agents Wanted. Sabiwibo for th? Journal. The Folly of Fear. A great deal of talent is lost in the world for the want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves a number of obscure men, who have oTdj remained in obscurity because their timidity has prevented them from making a first effort; and who, could they have been induced to be - would in all probability have gone great-lengths in the career of fame. The fact is, that to do any thing in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. It wi[l not do to be perpetually calculating Vtsks and ad justing nice chances. It did very well before the flood. * when a man could consult his friends upon ail in tended publication for a hundred and fifty years, and then live to see its success after.wards. lint now a man waits, and doubts, and consults bis brother and particular friends, ti’l one fine day he finds he is sixty years of age- that he has lost so much time in consulting his first cousins and particular friends, that lit has no more time to follow their advice. A Spanish Statesman. Senor Emilio Castelar, the one Spanish statesman regarded with res pect in America as a man of talent and character aad brains, recognizes tiie hopelessness of fnrthei armed contention on the < part of Spain as a naval power. lie acknowledges that the maritime superiority of the United States.lias been demonstrated conclusively. Senor Castelar is re ported, however, as hoping for Span ish military successes in Cuba. This is i a nral in Senor Castelar as a Spaniard, but there is not the slightest basis for his hopes. The Spanish soldier, brought brought from his native country, lias been defeated for a century by everybody who lias fought agaiust him—Mexicans, Peru vians, Chilians, Paraguayans, and all. With the advantage in numbers, arms, dtscijilir.e, and eveiv element of mill tary strength the Spanish s ktiers have beet- unable to overcome the in surgents in Cuba, and to suppose that they can overcome the united forces forces of tiie insurgents and the United States soldiers is a dream of Castelar because he would like to see it so.—Press. Barbed Wire in War The present war is the first one in which barbed wire has been U3ed for defenses. Tiie Spaniards constructed their trocha across Cuba with barbed wire several years ago, and since the war with the United States bsgan they have endeavored to use wTe on a still larger and more effective scale. Santiago is surrounded with a net work of barbed wire, Feur lines of heavy barbed wire ate stretched be tween block houses whic s surround the city. A little back of this wire fence there arc entrenchments and rifle pits. The theory of the ‘Span iards is that when our troops reach tho barbed wire fence they will he so impeded that the Spanish soldiery can mow them down from tiie entrench ments. It remains to be seen how useful their barbed wire defenses will be to tiie Spaniards, hat it will un doubtedly add to tiie difficulty of tak ing Santiago, Our army is prepared as well as it could be for contending -with barbed wire. Some of the newspapers *rbi?h make a point of cntici-mg everything that has been done by the war dep: rt— ment hate been desperately canting apron the “Great mistake” of not pre paring our army of invasion tor the Spanish trocOa about Santiago. The great military genii s who presides over one of these snarling newspapers d< dared a few days ago that this omission proved that there is “no head to oar army.” On the very day that this killing criticism appeared the following dis patch was sent from Washington by the Associated Press: “The department lias had in mind the difficulties of the campaign that are just developing to the public eye, such as the use for the first time in civilized warfare of barbed wire fenc ing as a means of defense, and acting upon the advice of some of our artm offieets, who were in Ciba while ti fighting was confined to the Sp - iarils and the insurgents, a certain number of men in each regiment havt been provided with wire cutters am hargo l with tiie duty of cult down these fences so as to permit the advance of the troops.” This instance is only one of many m which the dor.keyism of the editorial war critics has been exposed to the ridicule and contempt of the public. — Atlanta Journal. SUPPLIES FOB AJt ARMY. Few People Have Any Idea of tlie Vast Quantity Required. Few people have any idea of the vast amount of supplies that it takas to feed an army or that preperations that have to be made in the way of accumulating supplies so as to have them on hand when they are called for. This is what might be desig nated as an “off day” in Tampa, so far as this city can be 'regarded as a base of supplies for the troops, owing to the comparatively small number of them here, and the debatable question as to what the government is going to do in the future, in the way of moving its troops here for the second invasion. In consequence of this the figures that I give here will stand out more con spicously. The government has here ten warehouses and eight, commis saries, all of these buildings selected on account of their capacity to con tain large quantities of supplies. One of these warhouses was recently built by the government in Tampa between the tracks of the Florida Central and Peninsular and the Plant line, so that the warehouse have a long frontage on both roads. This warehouse is an immense affair, with a capacity of 275 carloads of supplies, and is now pack- j <-d to its utmost capacity with a geii j oral iiue ot food products, such as flour, sugar, meat, canned goods, rn e etc. and other goods needed by the government, classified as commissary supplies. Other warehouses are sim ilarly packed with government sup plies. A shipment of potatoes is twenty five carloads, and a carload is 200 barreL; sugar comes by theirain- I load of 15 cars, and so on. Seven car j loads of baking powder reach Tampa a few days ago m one shipment,’ and a’ ng witn it came three carloatis of mu.-cil ige, writing fluid and stationary for the department of tiie government Such supplies as hay and oats for the mules and horses do not cone under the above head. The department of forage comes seperately, as does also he quartermaster’s department. When clething, shoes, camp equip ment, cooking utensils, arms and am munition, and, in fact, everything else in this line, comes under the head of other departments, and none of these tiling are included in the supplies classified as commissionary supplies. LIKE A GREAT RAILWAY With its brandies running in even direction, are th* arteries and veins which convey the- blood to every part of the system. When the liver and kidneys refuse to act tiie blood is pre. vented from circulation by poisonous acids, and then comes Rheumatism- Dr Drummond’s Lightning Remedy drives these poisqns.frora the blood, and Dr. Drummond,s Lightning Lin iment restores the stiff joints, drawn coids and hardened muscles. If your dvuggi t has not got these remedies, send to the Drummond Medicine Company, New York, and the full months treatment of two large bottles will be sent to your express address.
