'PHONE No. 11. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 1901. The Atlanta News is so hot that its heading has grown a bright red. The time is drawing close when Bob Taylor to again enter the po litical nremt. The country paper’s old joke on the legislature has grown so stale it begins to smell. Carrie Nation broke loose her hatchet again the other but was promptly choked off with day, Joe Jefferson has again decided not to retire from the stage for which the public will be duly thankful. Old man Grosvenor has again bobbed up for speaker of the house of representatives. Won/t some* one please wield the meat axe. President Roosevelt should be nble to tell his youngsters some very large and interesting bear stories when he gets back hdme. The wicked paragrapher of the Atlanta Journal remarks'thusly: "It must be n terrible strain on the beef trust to have to water its stock and its cattle too. ” By the time the lawyers get through with that miner’s strike arbitration case the funds in the miners* treasury will resemble the gener u l appearance of thirty cents. We have word trom Tom John ston, of the slate of Ohio, to the effect that if we know of anyone wanting to buy a second-hand circus tent cheap he con accomo date them. David Bennett Hill has fallen under the wrath of William J. Brvan- With ull his other troub* let, we would not be surprised if the Honoruble David Bennett should again retire from politics. A representative of the News took a trip up the grading of the new railroad Sunday afternoon and was very much impressed with the progress the railroad people are making toward tl.e completion of the road to Montezuma. The trestles which are being built are ot the very best materials and are being put up strong and substantial enough to withstand the hard use of many years. The road will open up a splendid section of country and open t;o a ready marKet a section which heretofore has been at a very great disadvantage along this line. The grading is well and substan tially done, and every appurtenance to the road is being put up in a way that will be good for many years. The benefit to this city which will be derived from this new road can baldly be estimated. It puts Vienna into communication with a section of country ivhich will be a great benefit to both, besides it gives this place an advantage in rates that should be taken in con sideration. With these added facilities for rapid transportation and communication, Vienna should at once take on new a life and lorge ahead with long strides. Why should not this new road bring to us some manufactories? Why should it riot induce the in vestment of outside capital as well as our own? It certainly should and we firmly believe that it will. Vienna will, by the completion of this new road, be attached onto new territory from which she may draw trade that will help very materially in swelling the income and resources of our business men. Whenever n railroad is built it brings new life and an added pros perity to the section through which it runs, nnd if that section has the adA outage of being rich in resources, the building of a ( railroad through i|t is almost of inestimable value. In this article so lar nothing has been said of tbe matter of competi tion, which is, of course, of the utmost importance to the business men. Where there is competition, things are compelled to come cheap er, unless a community ofc interest is entered info, or more plainly speaking, a combination, nnd this very seldom happens among rail- 'roads. We have been very seriously of the opinion that Vienna only need ed this additional public facility to cause her to forge very rapidly to the front in the matter of population nnd public enterprises, and we strongly believe that when this new road is completed the people of Vienna will witness a forward movement of industrial along all lines, and the News will be found ready at any and all times to aid by pen and by action this new era of predicted prosperity. Georgia farmers are not grumb ling over the cotton crop this sens on, as it has been a favorably good one over the entire cotton section. This fact means happjness and contentment to thousands of homes in this and other states. Brother Byn Russell, of the Baiubridge Argus, absolutely re- fuses to take any comfort from, the results of. the recent elections in the different states. Cheer up, brother, better days ate coming for the democracy. For the people’s sake, gentle men of the legislature, don’t create any new and expensive offices to sap tbe resources of the state. There ore too many now. Cut Borne of them out and you will be doing a service tor your constitu ents that will redound to your everlasting credit. PROPOSED FAIR. A motion is on foot to organize what is to be known as a "middle counties fuir association” to be held in Macon in 1903. It is pro-' posed to issue a call to n certain number of prominent farmers and have them meet as soon as possible. The object of the movement, is to advertise the products and. re sources of the various counties participating in the fair- This proposition it possessed-, of much merit, and should meet with the heurty aid and corporation of the farmers and people of this sec tion of the state. There is nothing which will help a county or state or a number of counties more than a fair of this kind. It is the only means by which they can properly udvertise their resources and in ducements to outsiders, and Dooly county should not be found lagging behind in a movement of this kind.

Hearst, editor and pro prietor of the famous New York Journal, to the National House of Representatives. Mr. Hearst, though a millionaire as tar as mon ey is concerned, is nevertheless a true friend of the common people, and can be implicitly depended upon to champion their rights on all occasions. Through his fa mous paper he has wrestled most courageously with the avaracious and mighty giant of capital, and has always stood Srm for the. rights of the common people when they were endangered. He has exposed-the most gigant ic frauds in the municipal man. agement of the city of New York, and has balked schemes, which, had they been carried out, would have robbed the people of mil lions of dollars. We expect him to at once take a leading place m the councils of the Democratic side of the House and it his career up to this time is any enterion by which we may judge, tbe people may expect great things from Representative Hearst. =$25.00= IN COLD CASH GIVEN AWAY.
