GENERAL WHEELER.
In the death of General Joseph
Wheeler, there passes from earth
a gallant soldier. He was a caval
ry leader with the dash and vim
that appeals to the romantic. . Six
teen horses were killed under him
during the war and he was wounded
three Alines. ;
✓ ,In summing up bis work Presi
dent Davis''laid of General Wheeler:
‘Be displays a dash, activity,
vigilance and consummate skill
which Justly dhtltled him to a place
on the roll of great cavalry leaders.
By his Indomitable energy, operat
ing on both sides of Sherman’s col
umn, be was enabled. to keep the
government and commanders of our
troops advised of the enemy’s move
ments, and, 1>y preventing foraging
parties from leaving the main body,
he saved from spoliation all but a
narrow tract of country, and from
the torch of millions worth of prop
erty which would otherwise have
been consumed.”
‘Be a good man,” said Walter
Scott,* on his death bed, to his son-
in-law. "Be a good man, nothing
else will do you any good when you
come to lie here.”
Miss Roosevelt’s gowns are the
subject of much chatter among wo

r
It has often been said that a small
man Is handicapped by his slxe. Yet
sometimes when a little man accom
plishes big achievements his fame
is enhanced by the comparison be
tween his deeds and his stature.
The case of General Joseph Wheeler
Is one In point. He was best known
by the affectionate sobriquet, "Lit
tle Joe.”
A Colquitt county man writes to
the Moultrie Observer that he has
named a shoat “Hoke” because he

HOW MANYT
The creation of the eight new
counties In Georgia caused scores of
delicate legal questions. Some jot
theso have been settled and some
have not. Many of these mooted
.points will have to remain undeeld-
ed until courts or the legislature
pass upon them. The general pro
visions of the Hall bill, under which
the counties were created are lack
ing In some particulars^. Oen of the
most Interesting points is in regard
to the representation of the counties
-In the Democratic convention which
will nominate a governor and other
state bqush officials. For Instance,
Thomas county has always been en
titled to six votes in the convention
and three representatives In the leg
islature. Decatur has had two'rep-
resentatlves and four conventlod
votes. This assignment was made
after the taking of the census of
1800. Under the provisions of .the
constitution the six largest counties
are entitled to three representatives,
those nqgt -In population to two, and
the smaller counties to one. Each
county has twice as many conven
tion votes as It hap representatives.
Since the formation of Grady county
the population of Thomas has been
reduced. It Is no longer one of the
six largest. The same reduction has
taken place In Decatur. The ques
tion now arises as to whether or
not Thomas will continue to have
three representatives In the legisla
ture and six In the convention, and
how many Grady will have.
The concensus of legal opinion
seems to be that the present appor
tionment of representation will re
main as It Is until 1910, when the
next census will be taken. If that
Is the case Thomas will send three
men to the legislature to succeed
Messrs. Mitchell, Rountree and Sin
gletary, and will have six votes In
the state convention. Grady will
probably have one representative.
CoL Chas. M. Suelllng Is men
tioned for .the chancellorship of the
University. He Is professor of math-
cmatlcs at .present. Several years
ago Col. Suelllng taught In Thom
asville ‘at the “South Georgia Col
lege,” and the suggestion Is of local
Interest. Suelllng has a lean, In
tellectual face and d solid head. All
the students at the University call
him “Phil" because he tells recal
citrant students that he will meet
them at Philippi. He does, too. In
former days "Phil" was not very
popular with the boys, but they are
learning his worth. He manages the
dining hall, and to him Abe students
are Indebted for a great big boon,
good food, well cooked, and cleanly
served at a maximum cost q(, 38 per
month. Many a grateful appetite
and purse unite In ‘.‘Phil’s” praise.

roe has organized a military compa
ny of his playmates and wants to

ENSNARING VICTIMS.
Here Is the plthlest sermon ever
yet preached: “Our Ingress Into life
Is naked and bare, our progress
through life Is trouble and care, our
egress out of It we know pot where:
but doing well here we shall do well
there. I could not tell mote by
preaching a year.”
An English physician says If you
eat fruit at ntytht you can commune
with the spirit world. The combine
tlon of fruits In mince pie has Ions
been famous for putting folks In
touch with evil spirits.
Steps Should be Taken at Once to
Prevdnfr Further Trouble.
Here In Thomasville, as In other
cities and towns, dyspepsia or stom
ach troubles are ensnaring victims
In a most Insidious way.
Use Ml-o-na now and soothe the
Irritated walls of the stomach and
strengthen' the gastric follicles so
that they will pour Out their daily
supply of digestive materials with
regularity. Then the headaches,
sleeplessness, specks before the eyes,
poor appetite,' tired feelings and
nervousness will disappear, and you
can cat what you want at any time
you like. —
Just one little tablet out of a 50
cent box before meals, for a few
days, and you will soon regain per
fect health and strength, and have
no fear of Indigestion or stomach
troubles. Ask J. W. Peacock to show
you the .guarantee under which he
sells this remedy.
