A bachelor, aged CO on the first
<1 :^v after th-- Inoculation, had hit
whiskers dyed, ordered a new suit
of clothes and a sot of false teeth,
bought a top buggy; a bottle of hair
restorer, a diamond ring, and a guit
ar, and began reading Byron's poems.
Tho Inoculation produced symptom*
of the same nature In a young lady
of forty-fivd. She spent flvo dollars
at n drug store for cosmetics, bought
a lot of new hair and a croquet set,
Bang “Empty Is tho Cradle,”’ Bent
out Invitations for a party and com
plained that the young men do not
go Into society. An Inoculated youth
of seventeen, employed In a country
store, did up a gallon of molasses In
a paper bag, and also threw some
fresh butter out of the window,
while he put the cat In the tub. Fin
ally, he sat In a basket of eggs while
looking at the photograph of a pret
ty girl and was discharged for his
carelessness. The doctor Is still
experimenting and will soon lay the
result of his observations before the
medical world.
A GIIEAT WORK.
The Methodist church In Georgia
Is doing a great work. The church
Is to be commended for its active and
aggressive enthusiasm and for the
results of this enthusiasm as shown
in figures. In this day and time
monetary measure IS the standard
of the world. We cannot measure
the Importance of the work of sav
ing souls and the burdens that have
been lightened by aid and advice.
But we can gain some Idea of the
great work of the church from the
following figures:
' The conference has raised this
year tor foreign missions, $34,133--
21; domestic mlsldnB, $111,194.19;

tised; 2,966 adults baptised; 1C3 Ep-
jvorth Leagues and 4,977 members,

teachers and 87,986 scholars.

are 164 parsonages and 148 pastoral
charges teir districts, with three dis
trict parsonages. Received on pro
fession of faith, 4,987.
The following "sensible words are
from tho Telfair Enterprise; “The
secret of success for both couqtry
and town Is for them to work togeth
er, hand and hand, realising that
the prosperity that comes to the one
cannot possibly hurt the other, but
on the other hand It will Inure to
their mutual, benefit. |
"The sooner this lesson Is learned,
by the town and country people In
any section tlm sooner will an era of
prosperity and good feeling spring
up that Inures the advancement of
that section along all lines. We have
In mind one town In this state where
the people of the county In which
\ It la located seem to feel a special
pride In the furtherance of all pro-,
Jects that tend to the advancement of
the town and today It is one of the
best small cities la the state. The
harmony, that exists between city j
and country is really an Inspiration
to any one who will observe It and
you cannot fail to observe It If you'
go to,that county. '
A. "Of course the town must tote
^XMr. Artth the country and show to
i Ik- backbone” of all prosperity that
What they do is appreciated, and lend
encouragement to them in every
way possible* •
STAND TO IT.
TheTimes-Enterprlse hopes that
delegatee from the Thomas county
cotton growers association will all
attend the state meeting In Atlanta.
The work of the association so far
has done wonders and has convinced
the most skeptical of the virtue In
the plan. Its future usefulness de
pends upon the completeness nnd
solidity of Its organisation.
This Is an age of organisation. Ev
ery branchof Industry and labor is
organised, save the farmers. Now
they have a chance to get together
on, a business basts. The Farmers
Alliance had a good start and gave
promise of great usefulness. This
usefulness evaporated when the Al
liance got Into politics. Bo far the
cotton association has stayed out of
politics and we believe will continue
|o do.BO.
The benefits of organisation are
so apparent as to need exposition.
An example In our own county* is
that of the Insurance association. The
cotton movement la as Important to
the pocketbooks of the farmers as
anything that has come before them
In recent years. We hope they will
stand to and abide by the purposes
of the association.
Bishop buncan preached another
sensational sermon Sunday. He ob

of Bibles in their gripe. It would

and visited a number of cities in
Georgia. One of the party express
ed 1:1s surprise at what he found In
the following words:
"With the South and with Georgia
In particular, I am delighted; and I
had as well confess; also surprised
each one of us, s you know nat
urally pictures In his mind before
hand any place that he Is to visit.
Well, I had pictured the South as a
rather easy , going, self satisfied sec
tion, dosing In Its bounty of warm
sunshine. But, to my astonishment,
I find the people fully as brisk and
as alert to evory business Interest as
the most hustling cities of the west
You are taking advantage down here
of all the rich opportunities which
a fertile soil and a benign climate
has blessed you with.
"And this other fact Is particular
ly conspicuous," continued Mr. Vick
ers: this Is a country of young men.
Why, in evey city we have visited It
has been the young men who hare
met us and shown interest in our
movements. There are few gray
heads In your banks and large estab
lishments. The South doesn’t live
any longer In the past. She is run
ning over with energy, youth, and
fresh ideas.”

THE JEWISH CITIZEN.
The time has long since passed
away when the name of "Jew" was
regarded as a byword and a reproach.
The good traits of these people -are
many and marked, and the world Is
coming to a realization of these
traits. The Jews have played a
larger part than most people are
aware of, In the development of this
country. Recently there was a cele
bration of the 260th anniversary of
the landing of the Jews In this coun
try. The anniversary wax the cause
of much good feeling and many pleas
ant expressions. Men no less noted
than President Roosevelt and ex-
President Cleveland Joined In the
felicitation!. From their words It
becomes apparent that America is
greatly Indebted to the Jews, even
as the Jews are greatly Indebted to
America.
This country has always given
them what many lands stllf withhold,
the benefit of trie Institutions and
equal treatment before the v law.
From the earliest days they have re
paid this by a splendid quality of
■jltlsenshtp. Even in the colonial per
iod they aided In' the development of
the country and of domestic and for
eign commerce. In revolutionary
days they served In the armies and
with smoother sailing of the ship of
state they have carried out In their
cltlsenshlps the same qualities of
usefulness and worth they have dis
played In the family.
GRADY’S NEW PAPER.
The first tsue of the Grady County
Times came to hand yesterday. Its
editors, Messrs. J. N. Hale and Y. L.
Watson have done themselves proud
and the people of Grady county are
to be congratulated. The Times will
take front rank at once among South
Georgia weeklies and will do splend
id service In developing its home
county and this section of the state.

excellence. It constats of twelve
pages etgjit of them printed at home.
The advertising pages are well filled
aad are patronized by Thomasvllle
and Batnbrldge, as by the Cairo mer
chants. Thp local news Is snappy

are represented by good correepond-
ents. The salutatory of the editors
has the right ring and the editorials
are bright The Tlmes-Enterprise
extends the right -hand of fellowship
to Ms big neighbor In Grady and
wishes it a prosperous career. The
Times and the Messenger ought to
make Cairo happy In a newspaper
way. and fulfill that town’s motto
of "nothing but the best."
Florida papers say the Mexicans
recently Imported to work In the
phosphate mines, of that state have’
all vamosed and returned to sunny
Mexico. -Thus another substitute for
Catty has gone glimmering and the
miners are once more trying to en
tice the brother in black back to the
mines.

at John Temple Graves for having

but we read this In a book.

CONGRESS OPENED.
Fifty-ninth Assembly of Law Makers
Informally Organized.
Washington, Dee. 4.—Thp prepara
tions for the opening of the Fifty-
ninth congress at noon today were
complete. The senate convened with
the usual formalities and after swear
lng In the new members an adjourn
ment was taken to‘respect to the
memory of the late Senator Platt of
Connecticut
The greater Interest atsched to the
house proceedings because a com
plete organization was necessary, In
cluding election of a speaker and
other officers and the drawing of
seata by the members.
There have been many changes
made Inside and out of the capltol
since the last session. The Interior
of the rotunda has' been scoured and
burnished until nothing remains of
the stains of age accumulating for
the last fifty years: New carpets'are
laid In the halls of both branches.
By order of the last Congress no
flowers are allowed in the Senate
chamber and the rule had the effect
of stopping the sending of such tes
timonials to the house; consequently
the prevailing custom, was notable
today by Its absence.
Many visitors were present aad
the galleries of both branches of the
national legislature were crowded.
