ANNOUNCEMENTS' Secretary Wilson of. the agricul tural department positively denies the report that,he contemplates resigning from President Roese- veit’s cabinet. The American legation at Con stantinople has sent a second note demanding that the brigands who captured Miss Stone are in Turkey and must be caught and punished. The only redeeming feature we notioed about the little dutchman’a visit was the fuct that lie greatly admired and applauded t(ie South's adopted national song "Dixie,’ and was charmed with "Sweet Alice." Col. Van Ness, the octogenarian millionaire of Port Jefvis. has been baptised iu the river Jordan, He and his wife made a trip to the orient, his desire being to gratify an ambition of years to be baptized in the Jordan. Prince Henry of Prussia has had a continuous round of ovations since, his arrival and has been wined and dined by our nabobs. Booker Washington, was presented to hiip at a concert in New York and the two chatfa.d for fifteen minutes duirng which time he asked for a book of negro melodies and Booker promised to send, him one. That shows what kind of stuff princes arc. ‘Hon, E. B. Lewis is.expected to reach home from Washington next Sunday.

Mr. Lewis’ work in congress during his term- in office has been of the most com mendable kind and his.constituents will uotsooa forget him.—-Monte zuma Record. The same opinion exists on. this side of the creek too, brother, All three of the candidates, tor repre sentative,. Messrs. Harvard, pate and Pields v> were on hand yesterday Riving “the. boja’.* a hearty. hand r shake and a qleasant word.. It looks, now. at It we will only-have three candidates, in the* race for representative.. Eggs, peas, corn, lard and hams arw WWpd at Kelly Jf. Waltin.. A woman farmer down in Ala' bama writes thus to her country 'paper: ‘‘This year # you know hns been no year for a test on our farm, but in spite of evey drawback I have made about thirteen bales ot cotton, four and one-half barrels ot syrup, 400 bushels of fine potatoes, pea nuts by the wagonful and other things too numerous to mention. The potatoes were made on less than an acre of land, the syrup— 180 gallons-.on huif un acre, a quarter of an acre netting $*7 worth of syrup." Nothing of the pessimst or cal amity howled about this womun farmer. She should serve as an example to some men farmers who are waiting for prosperity through the be-it-enacted method. Ot course this woman had advantages. She has escaped drawbacks which ads to some white men’s burdens. No waste of valuable time on poli tical haranguei; no drums at the corner groggery; no whittlings of pine boxes in front of a country store; no fingerings with the loun gers at the postoffice to lament over hard times; no idling of time in town or the court house; no loun ging around the station to see the trains go by. She escaped these onerous duties and therefore had more time to devote to her farm and household work. This of course gives her a great advan tage over the gentlemen farmers who deem it u pleasure, if not a duty, to shoot squirrels in the morn ing, hunt rabbits in the afternoon and read the Silver Watchman in the evening. It was our purpose to commend this female furmer, but come to think of it, she has set a bad precedent. She is out of her sphere. She hns wondered be yond her orbit. No woman has a right to. make a success of farming while so many men are failures in the business. REGULAR MEETING Vienna, Ga., March 10th, tcoa. Present J.
