The people of Brunswick had be fore them a proposition to. help their town., In a business like manner they called a mass meeting of business men. The men came, and realized, and sub scribed. The offer looked good; it was one that had to be either accepted or re jected at once, and rather than run the risk of losing the enterprise the people put. down their names and did what , a unanimi- is of intelligence and wisdom is in the human brain; all there is of mystery and infinity is fathomable by human reason, and all there is of virtue is meas ured by the relation of man to man. To him all must end in ‘tongueless silence of the dreamless dust,’ and All that lies beyond the grave is a voiceless shore and a starless sky.

The Pilgrim, a woman’s magazine comments in an interesting fashion up on the work: “The memorial for "Winnie Davis is already in course of construction by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. This patriotic organization of southern women, which corresponds to the Daughters of the American Revolution in the north, recently laid the corner stone to this building—a dormitory for girls at the Normal school at Athens Georgia—which is to be completed by June.' This undertaking is-largely due, in fact, to the Georgia chapter of which Miss Mildred Rutherford is president. Nearly $10,000 of the $32,000 came from the women of that state.

But we .can’t always tell abont these things, and t£e thing for Brunswick to do was exactly what she did do. The question now is, would Thqpias- ville have done the same thing; possibly of hauling trash, paper, etc. skirts of the city and. dumping it along the road side. This is a practice that should be stopped. When trash is left on the ground in this manner it is blown about by the wind and makes the whole landscape by no means pleasing to the view.

PECAN CULTURE y In our section of the state many peo ple are planting pecan trees aad unless all signs fail, the crop will he worth mil lions where it is now worth thousands. One feature of pecan raising seems to be that it seizes hold with might and main on its devotees and makes enthuri asts out of them. One prominent, pecan planter in South Georgia claims that when pecan culture becomes general that it will solve the negro problem. Negro labor is not needed to raise pecans. Pecans are sufficient for every need of the coun try, ergo, the colored man to Liberia.

A branch of industry which has been neglected in Georgia ia poultry raising. This is a strange phenomenon, for peo ple who love fried chicken as well as Georgians do, would naturally he ex pected to raise a great deal of poultry. From a financial as well as an Epicu rean stand-point, poultry raising is a good thing. .The little busy bee who doth improve every shining hour has from timft immemorial been pointed out as a paragon of industrous endeavor.

The average man who goes into a money-making scheme wants something that will pay a plump dividend the first year. But for those who have the capi tal and the patience to wait, there is a sure and a good profit in pecan culture. Several northern capitalists have taken an interest in this matter, and have re cently planted groves in Sonth Georgia. There is little doubt that time will make pecan culture one of* Georgia’s greatest industries.

No body could spend a bright sunshiny Sunday, like the last one, in Tliomasville, without wanting to come here to live. The Savannah News says that a hill has been introduced in the Pennsylva- • ilia Legislature to prohibit'caricatures of persons “in the form or likeness of any beast, bird, fish, insect or other in human animal.” The law is aimed at the newspaper cartoonists who have been caricaturing Senator Quay as an owl and Gov.

A great deal of the time they build enormous bonfires around the orange groves to keep the temperature above the freezing point, and a few days ago portable wooden fences were placed around each tree in many groves, with sheet iron stoves inside to keep the ten der buds from giving up tlie ghost.
