Darn a paper that will not stick

The colored Republicans of Ala
bama seem to have struck.
Troops have been called dut to
allay the coal riot in France.
Hon. E. B. Lewis has>no opposi
tion, so give him a heavy vote.
Turn out November 4th and vote
"two or three” times for Lewis.
Our cotton market is booming
and can't be excelled in this section.
It will be a hard winter for
jaragraphers now .that the coal
itrike is ended.
The booth of the Atlanta Daily
News was one of the features of the
Inter-State Fair.
There is strictly “sothething
doing” with our Vienna merchants,
and they are handling their large
patronage better than most cities
twice their sue.
Recently a gentleman came to
this city prospecting for a building
lot or residence. Several piece* of
dirt und residences were priced.
One man priced his residence at
about twice the price asked for the
property only a few days previous
and others at the same ratio. The
prospective party knew of the ad
vance und of course didn’t buy.
And that is the main reason that
Vienna has not grown any faster
than it has, and never will as long
as prospective buyers are asked
double what they would sell to
people who are already cilisens of
the town. It is your property, nnd
you have the right to ask what
you please. But the town will
never build up under such circum
stances. We only note the above
to show the inconsistency, and
feeling the interest ot the town
that we have—we want to see it
grow and it’s cituens prosper.
THE ADfllRAL’S WILL.
Rear Admiral Casey has decided
to allow the Colombian govern
ment to use the railroad at the
transit of troops and amunition no
longer invites hostilities and an
interruption to traffic.
The action of the admiral hus
produced an excellent impression
in all circles.

E. B. LEWIS FOR CONGRESS.
It is earnestly, asked ot the people
of Dooly county and the Third
Congressional District to turn out
and give E. B. Lewis, our present
congressional incumbent, as heavy
a vote as possible. Because he has
no opposition is no ' reason ior any
voter being negligent.
Mr. Lewis' predecessor, Mr.
Crisp, was handicapped in just this
wuy. He wus elected to congrats
by a small vote and some of the
republicans cluirned that he was
not entitled to his sent on such an
insignificant vote.
Do not let this occur with Mr.
Lewis, as we want to endow our
congressman wi'.h as much power
as possible, and help him, thereby
helping ourselves.
Let there be no apathy on the
part of our voters, and give Mr.
Lewis an arousing vote on Tuesday,
Nov. 4th, ,
MISTAKES OF H OTHERS.
Some people appear to think
that children do not notice the
moods of their mothers. In this
they ure very much mistaken,
Children are very observant, and
even the infant notes the difference
of the smiles and the frowns on the
mother’s face. As children grow
older and their souls begin to ex
pand under the influences by which
they are surrounded, a child of sen
sitive nature will take on the
mothers disposition. If that mother
is a sad, sighing woman, the child
will become sad and melancholy,
A selt-relient, independent child-
nature often become, in such cir
cumstances, defiant and stubborn;
then the mother sighs sull more.
When childhood is left behind, the
evil effects of the mother's weary
sighs become still more apparent.
Home is a dull place—“mother i»
so low spirited”—nnd they remain
withiq its walls ns little as possible
Again the mother sighs because she
cannot control her family any more,
und they do not enjoy bei society
us they should..
At breakfast time her face is sad,
and not “like the morning.” She
looks as though *he had been weep
ing, and hud not endeavored to
obliterate all traces of her tears.
The husband and futher hurries
through the meal and takes himself
otf to his business. All seem re
lieved when breakfast is over.
The mother sighs ^is she goes
about htr household tusks. Every-
thing is ''such a care." Her daugh
ters henr her, und become, in turn,
depressed, and welcome going out
mingling among those who are
cheerful.
As the years move on the sighing
woman wonders why it is her
tnends are so few, and why she is
left so much alone. Often she has
to ask herself why such an estrange
ment exist between herself and her
daughter—that duughter whom her
sighs drove to seek brighter and
more congenial friends to whom she
gave that girlish confidence thut
ought to hate been given to her
mother.
No one has the right to willfully
render another miserable. The
happiest mothers have many crosses
to bear, but they are committing a
great and grievous wrong when
they allow these crosses and trials
to shadow the lives of their chil.
dren. They have certain rights
over these children, but they have
not the right to darken the spring
time of their lives with the reflec
tion of the frosts and snows of after
life, for surely real trouble must
come.—Ex.
Vienna needs a public library as
much as anything else just at this
time and some of the citizens should
try to promote one.
COAL AT HOME AND ABROAD.
According to Bradstreet, the
production of coal last year in Great
Britain was 319,047,000 tons: in
the United States, 260,939,000 tons
in Germuny, 108,417,000 tons, and
in France, 31,618,000 tons. The
amount produced in 1901 was in
most cases less than in the pie-
ceeding year, although the United
States coutinue to increase, and
have now tor 3 consecutive years
exceeded the United Kingdom.
The total knoiyn production of the
world, exclusive of brown coal was
nearly 708,000,000 tons. Compared
with the population, the production
of Great Brittain surpassed by that
of the United States. It amounted
to 5! tons in 1901, as against 3$
tons for the United States. Ger
many less than 2 tons, and France
about four-fifths of a ton per head.
The average value of coal per ton
taken out ot the collieries of Great
Brittain was $2.64; Germany* $2.-
15; France,82)92, and the United
States, $1.27, These averages in
all casese were higher than the
preceeding year.
If these figures are- correct, and
we presume they are, because Brud-
street is a very careful, accurate
and therefore reliable publication,
the United States has a wide mar
gin in her favor in the production
ot coal; and therefore, with this
margin, there ought to be room tor
a settlement of the cool strike with
out damage to the interests of the
operators.—Macon Telegraph.
President Mitchell is nearly as
large as Roosevelt. He is certainly
a bigger man than a dozen of those*
coal baronu.
Everything is rapidly dropping
into the old groove and it is hoped
that everything will run smoothly
in New Orleans.
