We are still holding “fast.” Whnt ts the matter with our city primary? An’ Brer* Baer, he clum down, ■—Atlanta Journal. Darn a paper that will not stick ,1ip for its own town. 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. Foley's Kidney Cure snakes kidneys and bladder right 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. JH Thos. Egletton Jno. B.
