A lawyer had come all the way from California to pay a SIO,OOO legacy over to Uncle Jerry Hopefield, who had lived all his life in a little town in Ohio, and after breakfast two or three of us were invited logo along and wit ness the transfer When we reachid illo,house Uncle Jerry was tightening ud tile hoops ou the rain barrel, while his wife had gone to see a sick neigh bor. They had been fully identified the dav before as the p'o'per parties, and now the lawyer said: “Well, Uncle Jerry. I want, to haud you that money and get a re ceipt and be off this mornig. “I,m kinder busy just now,” said the old man, as he stopped hammer ing for a moment. ‘•Yes. but I have SIO,OOO here for you. I don’t believe there’s a man in the world who wouldn’t stop work long enough to sign a receipt for : u :h a fortune” •‘Mebbe not, but it looks like rain and I want to git this barrel fixed right away. Can’t von come over in about ai. hour?” “Look here, man but did you e ver see. SIO,OOO in all your life? asked the lawyer, as he opened the satchel and displayed a big package of new greenbacks, “No, I never did,” repliad Uncle Jerry, as he pounded away. “Did you ever have a thousand dol lars of your own?” “Lands, no!” •‘Never had a hundred all at once, did you?” “Never. Durn that hoop, but it don’t want to go on!” “I must ask you to get this busmes-s over as soon as possible,” contiued the lawyer, as the old man kept’ at his work. “But it’s going to lain.” “Yes, but here’s your money.” “And I’ve got to get this bar’l fixed. “It won’t take over ten minutes to fix up our business. Run along and fetch your wife.” See here,” said Tuck* Jerry, as he ; down his hummer and wiped'the k his n ok. Mariar has gone t’s to be gone an hour.

As Tlse Celestials See Us A Chinese writer in on" of the publications of his own couutry has summed up the peculantes of the American people in a paragraph as follows: “ They live months without eating a mouthful of rice; they eat bullocks and sheep to enormous quan tities-they have to bathe frequently; the men Iress a'l alike, amt to ludge from their apearance, they are all coolies, neither are they ever to be seen carrying a fan or an umbrella, for they manifest their ignorant con tempt for these insignia of a gentle man by leaving them entirely to wom en; none of them have fingernails mare than an eighth of an inch; they eat meat with knives and prongs; they never enjoy theinse'ves bv sitting quietly on their ancestors graves, but jump around and kick balls ns if paid to uoit, and ’hey have no dignity, f >r they may be lound walking with wom en.”—Syracuse Standard. like a great railway With its branches runnin g in every direction, are the arteries and veins which convey the blood to every pait of the system.

HOMER. GA., THURSDAY, JULY U, 1898. Privation in Cuba. The trials and privations of our soldiers m Cuba are unlike those that came within the expetienee of our array in the civil war. They are un like those that have tried the patience endurance, and patriotism of the vet errans of large experience on tho frontier. This applies more to cli mate conditions than to marches and battles. During the civil war thor e was much campaigning under the worst conditions possible in this coun try. In the long Indian campaigns in Arizona, New Mexico, and to the north soldiers were severely tr ed. There was snllertng in these mount ain campaigns from heat as well ns from the cold, in the civil war move ments were on a magnificent scale and disasters wime sometimes like hurri. canes or like earthquakes, but most of our great battles were fought undet conditions that cannot obtain it Cuba- The army of General Shufter is un doubtedly as well organized and ns well equipped as any corps or army that participated in any great battle of the civil war. The men. are con trolled by as high a spirit and as fine a sentiment as were any of the great armies that achieved so much rep utation in the ’6os. But men are sib jected to more trying conditions in some essential particulars. Soldiers < f experience will appreciate these and give credit to the men who are sus. taining themselves so creditably. —From the New York Advertiser. We Have Long Wanted Cuba. That we will in good taith cany out our promise not to annex Cuba forcibly in Ibis war, but will use our power to establish republican govern ment upon the island may not be doubted. That this republican gov ernment when established, will invi- tablv, sooner or later, stub nmalg 'ms. tiou witliours, is almost equally suie. That when these overtures are volun tarily made they will be received in friendly spirit is hardly less certa n. We have had our eyes ou Cuba a long time. In the July North Ameri can Review Fredrie Bancroft de clars: “Some of the wisest public men since the early part ot this century had believed that Cuba should be an nexed at the first opportunity, Jef fcroon thought it desirable because it co. Id be defended with ui a navy. In 1823 John, Quincy Adams, as sec letary of state, declared that Porto Rico and Cuba - were natu.al append ages to this continent, and that Cuba had become an object of transcedent importance to the commercial ana political interests of our Union He believed that it would naturally gi an tale to the US when released from Spain. Polk endeavored in vain to purchase it. After the election of I’ierc the Democrats made its acquit ition one of their aims. They tried negotiation, but when that gave no promise of success, they threatened and argued themselves into believing that we had arignt to seize the island if Spain would not stl! it. The Cotton Situation. Mr. Alfred R. Shebperson of New York, writes a communication to 1 ex tile America upon the cotton situation in which he takes the position lhatco t ton compared with other products is the cheapest agricultural product in the world today. He compares the present status with the big crop o 18G4-95 and says the situation is much stronger. Up tc this time about 2, 500,000 bales more of our crop have come into sight than at the corres ponding time last year, and yet the visible supply of American cotton in the world is only 6000.000 bales great- Cotton, like every other crop, needs nourishment. A fertilizer containing nitro gen, phosphoric acid, and not less than 3% °f actual i Potash, will increase the crop and im prove the land. Our books tell all about the subject. They are free to any farmer. GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., New York. !er than a year ago. The receipts from this crop have peon 1,1000,000 hales greater than to the corresponding time in 1805, the visible supply of Alter lean cotton in the world is now 000, 000 bales less than at this date in 1895.' These figures, Mr Sbepperson de clare?, show the statistical position of cotton to be stronger than at this time in 1805, while prieas are five-eigths of a cent lower than then, and one and three-eights cents lower than a year ago. The Old the New. Ti e volunteers who were encamped at ChaUauoogoo werejVuting around talking about the dangers and trials of a military life, when an ex-Confeder site soldier came loafing up the lines. He engaged in conversation with some of the recruits and heard their complaints about the bruised shoul ders that they had from practicing with ihe new army rifles. “Do they? enquired the Johnny reb. “Well,” said one of the beys in blue, “they seem tome to act more like pugilist. The first one I fired off today hit. me everywhere from the solar plexus to the tip of the chin, and if I hadn’t, been in training I believe it woul.d have knocked me out.” “Dm, drawled the old soldier, “but did yeu ever flue off one of the old muskets that wete used in the civil war? “I can’t say that I did. Did they kick. “Kick? The first one I fired off not only kicked me, bat Knocked me down and I do believe that if our ser geant hadn’t had thu presence of rmr.d to pull the din ned thing off it would have stomped the life out of me.” And after that the canteens were emptied.—Judge. Germany and tlio Philippines. There is on.y sue rea oil for think- ing taut Germany is preparing to interfere at Manilla for the purpose of preventing us from acquiring pos session of the Philippines, and that is the number of warships which she has collected tliertv There are five of the e warships, aud it is stated t t there are two others in Chinese waters, which have been ordered there, Germany, howevsr, says she does not intend to interfere, and there is no good reason, except the one men tioned, to suppose she is uot acting in good taith. It was said some days ago that she haii decided to land marines at Ma nila to protect German residents and property, but that statement may have been without any substantial foundation. Girman ii t rests in Manila are in no danger, and Geruaa ny knows ibey are not' If’ there fore, she should land marines it would be with some other object in view than to protect German residents and property, To land marines, how ever- would be a hostile act, aud would i e treated by Admiral Dewey as such. But if Gc-many has any intention of mlerfesing at Manila she will take a second thought < f the advisability cf doing so, now that the first part of Gen Merritt’s army has arrived there, and has been landed at Cavite. Within a very few days the second part of his army will have arrived, and with it the powerful monitor Munterey, With the Monterey to assist him, Admiral Dewey will have a naval force at his command tha can easily resist all of the warships which Germany has in the cast Germany knows very well that even with a war with Spain on their hands, the United States wouldn’t hesitate to resent her interference in their affairs, It is probable there ford, h twe shall not hear any more at present about trouble with Ger many, but when our war with Spain i ende ', and the question of what shall be done with the Philippines ! comes up for consideration, she may claim a share of the islands, and may iry to get Russia and France to join j with her to proven! us from enjoying j the full beuefits of our victory.— I News.

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 hooks with habv talk of “The cat on the Mat,” etc., hut n>-e written so as to be most he pful to the teacher and at the same time so as to advance the pupil 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. The whole subject ot Arithmetic, feated in the most approved manner, with all the mordern methods, and innumerable helps to teachers and pupils, beginning with number work for children and closing with the most advanced phases of the subject—all n two books' price of both 95c. These books seek to present the subject in a simple manner and at the same time they are exhaustive and comprehensive. Conklin’s grammar. Conklin’s Grammars form a two hook series. The fiist book, “Practi cal Lessons in Language” is what its name implies, practical lessons in language, leading the child by a knowledge and use of language to the second book. English Grammar and Composition This second book is a complete, tech nical English Grammer; Analysis, synthesis and parsing go hand-in-hard Diagraming is presented ill a sample, concise manner, but may be omitted if the teacher so desires. No book yet published presents grammar in such an attractive manner; or teaches it more thoroughly, and at the same lime gives so much of composition. redway’s natural geographies The ablest critics pronounce Red- way’s Natural Geographies the best ever given the people of this country. It is really a “natural series, introduc ing the child to the science in the most natural manner, leading the pu pil to love Geography rather than hate it. It is uot a compilation of dry facts, but is so armnged as to be intensely interesting from beginning to end. The Natural Geographies make the subject anew science, No school book ever offered the public has grown so rapidly in public favor. C it. STO XIX A. .
