PUNISHMENT.

'Gall not pain's teaching punishment; the tire
That ighta a aoul. oven while it tortures.
The sorrow that unmakes some old desire.
And on the same foundation builds a higher,
Hath more than ]oy for him who acquiesces.
Ah, darkness teaches us to love the light,
Not as His loved of children, warm abed.
And crying for the toys put by at night,
llut even as a blinded painter might
Whose aoul paints on In dreams of radiance

FORECASTING.
Some day as now the world shall reawahe;
The city from its brief, dream tortured
The country, from its slumber pure and
deep.
To songs of birds in every flowering brake;
And men light hearted, or with hearts that
ache.
Shall rise and go what they have sown to
reap:
And women smile, or ait alone and weep
■hr life onoe sweet, grown bitter for love’s let os be ready for ’em, boys, for we
I most get aboard today somehow.”
But we, that day, shall not be here—not we;
We shall have done with life, though few
may fcuow.
Between ns then shall awful stillness be
Who spake such words of bliss, snch words
of woe.
As winds remember, chanting fltfnUy—
'^hunting an now —above ns lying low.
-Philip Rourke Marston in Atlantic.
LIFE’S PALIMPSEST.
Love chose a face clear lighted by the eooL
And wrote on cheek ana brow her thoarht
divine.
“The stars shall vanish from the heaven’s wide
HI.
Time's story ends—Eternity is miner
Life came, and at her bidding pain and care
Blurred the fair page, its rosy hoes effaced;
Hiding the tender story written there,
With heavy lines by ruthless fingers traced.
Death came and breathed npou each crossing
line,
'1111, sunk In Croat. It paled and vanished
slow;
And lol once more Love's prophecy divine.
From the scarred brow, shone forth with
heavenly glow.
And when men looked upon the coffined faou
They said, "He lies an in a dream of bliss;
Such calm he wore in manhood’s early grace.
So smiled his lips when yontb and hope were
Under the down dropped lids there strangely
crept
Serdner light than fails from star or son.
And a low whisper through the silence swept,
"Time's story ends when Love's is bat t«-

about town were brought aboard In the
course of the day. the reward for their
capture coming of course, as it always
did in sueh cases, out of their own
pockets.
The third day came, md now the re
ward for each man taken was raised to
forty shillings. This set the entire po
lice force of Valparaiso agog, as it was
known that there were still nearly 100
men ashore, and the reward for their
capture would prove a neat little sum
The tars by this time had had their spree
out and were quite willing to return on
board, but n ~,
yet, with
their own capture. The vigilantes, how
ever, were unwilling to allow their prey
to escape so easily, and refused to let
them go except as prisoners.
“WeU,” said one of the party when
this news had been brought to them by
a few of their number who had been to
hold a parley with the police, “if they
want us let ’em come and get ns, and
A YOKE AND A JOKE.

ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
All hands now armed, some having
shovels, some hammers, others old
chairs, billets of wood, table legs—in
short, anything that came first to hand
—and the entire party moved in a solid
body down to Mizzentop, that part of
their stronghold nearest the Mole. While
consulting what was next to be done
they were near being surprised by a con
siderable party of dismounted vigilantes,
who, having skirted around the base of
the hills, were then advancing upon
their rear. At the Bame time another
Father and mother had gone to Welf-
fcown in the big wagon to meet the after
noon express train on the Kansas Pacific
railroad and bring home Bruce and Jer
ry’s cousin, Ellie, who was coming alone
all the way from Kansas City to visit
them. Bruce and Jerry were left alone
on the claim to look after things.
I Brnce was fifteen: not very large of
his age, bnt active and strong. Jerry
was only two years younger than Bruce,
bnt he was dwarfed by an affection of
the spine, winch kept him bent over like
a hunchback. ''
When he was very small he was
thrown from a horse. The accident con
tracted some of the spinal muscles, and
it appeared that he was doomed to go
throngh life with the humiliating ap
pearance of having a chronic of
colic.
Bruce and Jerry were great friends,
whinh is not always the case with broth
ers. This was not due to the fact that
other boyB were few in that thinly set
tled' Kansas district; they were really
very fond of each other.
All the morning, after their father
and mother left. Brace was very busy
making a small yoke, modeled after the
one that was used on Tom and Red* the
oxen they had brought with them when
they emigrated from Indiana.
Jerry sat on the framework of the
force appeared in front, and the party -grindstone in front of the- cabin and
THE TARS ON SHORE.
It happened in the forties. We were
heartily tired of the dull monotony of
our California life ere we had been in
Monterey three months. To be confined
on board ship in harbor is wearisome
enough at any time, bnt more especially
in so lifeless a port as Monterey win*
then.
In places of so great resort for men-of-
war as Rio or Valparaiso various little
incidents kept the mind excited and
caused time to pass quicklyif not plea*
antly.
At different times some salnting took
place in the harbor, and the cause of it
formed a topic for general conversation
among the men. But in Monterey bay
there were none of these things—m>
bum boats, no strange vessels coming in
or going ont. nothing to pee or to do or
to think about.
A more teilions life than ours could
not therefore well bo. This experience
was that of all the crew, not excepting
even the officers, and heartily glad were
we when it began to be whispered aboct
that our sailing day was not far distant.
The boatswain's hoarse summons to
"all hands np anchor for the United
States” was received with three cheers.
The capstan bars flew around,the anchCtt
were quickly at the bows and the top
sails sheeted home and hoisted, and as
the ship's head swung to* the breeze we
manned the rigging and gave three times
three cheers, which were cordially re
turned by the crews of some half dozen
men-of-war then in port.
With favoring winds all the way, not
being detained by the usual calm in
crossing the line, we arrived, after a
forty-six days' run, at Valparaiso.
Here all bands were given a ran on
shore—a privilege of which we were not
sorry to avail ourselves.
As homeward bounders • we'
looked np to ashore and among the crews
• of the other men-of-war in the harbor as
fortunate beings, and it was with a feel
ing of pity that wo looked down npon
the poor fellows who were doomed to
pass another year op.two npon “the sta
tion” and presumed not a little npon oo#
superior fortune.
The ship’s company was divided' tnto
ftonr shore parties, each , division twin*;
allowed three days’ liberty.
It was usual to make the division
in snch cases by watches or quarter
watches, bnt in this case it was made
np from a good behavior book kept bj
the captain and commander, those whose
names stood highest on this being per
mitted to go first on shore, while those
whose previous conduct had placed them
lower were reserved for the last party,
Among this last party were of course
included all the worst drunkards and
wild fellows, and as often happens at
sea, those whose characters for sobriety
and general orderliness of behavior stood
lowest on the captain’s book were at the
mat time the smartest men in the ship,
the very best seamen.
Having no liberty men to follow
thin last party determined upon having
a grand spree, and agreed not to coma
off to the ship until they were fairly
driven on hoard. Accordingly, whan
their allotted three days were out, but
very few came off; the rest stowing
themselves away where there was every
thing which a sailor’s heart desires,-
awaited the torn of events. Snch action
was hardly prepared for on board, and
one day’s grace was given them in which
to reader themselves ap. Scawefr-fe
man availed him-rlf of tins, those who
still remained having organized th. m-
selves into a band determined to resist
attempt at a forcible capture and to
return on board voluntarily when they
had their spree out.
Tho second day after the expiration of
their liberty notice was given the vigi
hmtea ashore that twenty shillings re
ward would fcjwjiid for every man of
o crew returned on board.
. ** T * fa ^ who had carelessly strayed
seemed about to be surrounded.
“Stick together, boys, and we’ll drive
these fellows before ns down to the
Mole, and if we reach that we are safe,”
said one of the leaders.
No sooner said than done. Without
giving the party approaching their rear
time to catch np, the tars charged npon
the company of vigilantes in front, and
throwing some down the steep side of
the Mizzentop hill, knocking down oth
ers and driving the remainder before
them, they fonght their way gallantly
down throngh the narrow street leading
to the Mole and reached the plaza at its
extremity without serious injury being
done to any of them.
On reaching the plaza they were
stopped by a multitude of the people who
had congregated there to witness the
capture of Jack. Forcing their way
throngh there and still keeping the vigi
lantes at bay, they finally made their
way to the water stairs—but there, alas!
there was no boat to receive them. This
was an emergency which had not been
foreseen by our tars, who now saw them
selves caught in a trap—the water at
their backs, tho police in front and flank
But they did not give up. They asserted
their privileges to render themselves on
board without the aid of the vigilantes
while the latter demanded the right to
deliver them' to their officers.
‘Come and take ns,” was again the
cry, and the police and the multitude
closed in npon the little band, charging
npon them with swords and lances. Our
fellows, who bad intrenched themselves
behind some spiles, defended themselves
desperately with stones, of which there
was a plentiful supply at hand, and not
a few Chilian skulls bore witness to the
accuracy of their aims.
All this passed within plain view of ns
who were on board, impatient and ex
cited witnesses of our shipmates’defense.
As ever and anon a Chilian would fall
victim to some well aimed missile a lit
tle subdued shout would go np from the
crowd congregated upon the forecastle,
while a low murmur attended a similar
misfortune to one of our .fellows. But
now the battle grew fiercer. The police,
pressed on by the multitude behind,
charged desperately and succeeded in
dislodging a part of the sailors, who
were driven by main force off the wnarf
and into the water.
Some few of these were fortunate
enough to be picked up by several mer
chant vessels' crews which chanced to
be there, bnt these rapidly pulled away
from the scene Of action, fearful of get
ting their boats stove by some of the
rocks which soon began to fly. Those
still remaining in the water clung to
spiles add floating timber, and were
there helpless and at the mercy of the
police, who stood above them throwing
"(feces of rock upon their heads. The
little band on shore still defended them
selves as best they could and maintained
(heir position behind the timbers.

Two Anxiona Women.
It was in the crowd abont the door of
an overflow meeting of the W. C. T. U,
and the women were straggling with
the vigor born of devotion to a sacred
cause and an eager determination not to
be beaten by each or any other. One
little woman, who was much mauled
about, and who at last came to feel that
her situation was pretty nearly hopeless,
turned her face toward a pleasant look
ing stranger who was straggling by her
side to breast the human current. ‘‘Oh.
dear,” she said, “I do so want to get in.
I want to hear Lady Somerset speak.”
“And 1 want to get in,” the other re
plied, “for I am Lady Somerset, and 1

watched Brnce at his work with much
interest The yoke was now abont com
pleted and the young mechanic was
very proud of his workmanship.
It’s a dandy an no mistake,” he re
marked, with satisfaction. “We’ll have
Borne fun, Jerry. I’ve been thinkin for
a long time that the calves are big
enough to break, an there’s no time like
the present Won’t it bo a joke on pa
and ma. thouirh?”
“W’at’ll be a joke?’ asked Jerry.
“Why. to break Bell an Nancy while
they’re gone. Won’t they be s’prised to
find ns driving ’em around like Tom an
Red? Won’t it be a joke, though?”
“Um,” Jerry assented.
After the pie had all been washed
down with a cup of milk, Brace shoul
dered the yoke and led the way to the
cow pen, where the meek eyed little heif
ers were lying in the sun.
Nancy and Bell were not in the least
wild, for the boys had made pets of them,
so there was no difficulty in approaching
them.' They were pretty animals; Bell
“spot," of red and white, and
Nancy was a deep red.
Well, girlies,” Brnce merrily sainted
the heifers, “how do yon find yourselves
this fine, large day? Nice day. isn’t it?—
nicest in the neighborhood. Get np,
now, and act your prettiest; there’s
company comin, and we want yon to
show off. Tie the string around Nancy’s
neck, Jerry.”
While Jerry obeyed this instruction
Bell, and then the heifers
ont of the cow lot to a little old
cart that stood by the front yard fence.
An we’ll take Effie a-ridin along by
the cornfield, an let her see the big tas
sels. I’ll tell you what we’ll do, Jerry,
well go down the road an meet pa an
ma, an we’ll bring Effie home in our
wagon. How’s that? 1
“First rate,” said the little cripple.”
“Well, it’s done,” Brace announced
presently. “Let’s eat our pie first, and
then well yoke ’em up.”
They had been too busy to notice that
it was past noon, bnt now hanger re
minded them th£t their mother had left
for each of them “a big honk of pie.”
Very soon they were seated on the door
step, munching their dinner.
This plan of yoking np the calves
would have been instantly condemned
by the father had he been at home, for.
in the first place, the heifers were too
young, and in the second place, they
were intended for milch cows and not
for beasts of bnrden, but it did not oc
cur to the hoys that he would object.
The little animals were docile and
tractable enough; indeed, they werepro-
vokingly slow and sleepy in their move
ments.
“You’ll got waked up very soon,’
Brnce remarked, half angry that Nancy
would not “stand around.
It took some time to get them yoked
satisfactorily to the cart, bnt at last
Brace announced that the arrangements
for tile start were complete. Jerry stood
on one side, next to Bell," and Bruce on
tEeother. by the side of Nancy.
“Get up, Bell!" called Jerry.i v.
Both boys slapped the flanks of tile
heifers vigorously, and they moved on a
few paces, in mild eyed wonder at this
new situation. Still they evidently
thought this a new way of petting them,
and that it was all right.
The boys Laughed delightfully.
“They’re jest as easy goin as old Tom
and Red,” Brnce declared. “Get np.
Nancy! Get up. Belli”
There was some backing on the part of
toe team, and a mild inclination to turn
around and inspect the arrangements,
bnt the boys, urging them on. succeeded
in getting them to advance a few more
over the ground, and faster and faster
run tin,- unruiy heifers.
The course was across the unfenced
meadow field toward the corn. In les3
than a minute the-calves were going at
a reckless pace, bellowing madly at
every jump, their heels and tails flying
in the air.
“Whoa, Nancy! Whoa, Belli” yelled
Brace, desperately. Of course the com
mand served only to frighten the 'ani
mals the more. The cart was in danger
Of being turned over and wrecked at any
instant. Any sudden turn of the run
away team would upset it, and the boys
might be crippled or killed.
For the little cripple the situation was
especially serious. A fall meant to him
a terrible injury perhaps. He clung to
the seat with all his strength, his face
white as wooL That other awful acci
dent which had injured and pained him
so was still strong in his memory, and
it increased his fear tenfold.
“We’ve got to jump,” Bruce declared,
regaining somewhat his presence of
mind. He sprang to his feet. “I can do
it all right, but you, Jerry—let me”
Just what assistance he meant to lend
Jerry did not appear, for at that mo
ment there was a sudden Inrch of the
vehicle, and Bruce went flying into the
air. He turned a somersault and hit the
ground with a violent shock.
When he caught his breath and sat np
he saw the heifers dashing along by the
corn, with Jerry still clinging to the
seat
Truly the little cripple was in a most
perilous position.
He did net dare to jump for fear the
strain on his back would kill him. The
fall—oh, he could never stand the fall!
To suffer again that way—to know that
horrible pain for weeks and weeks, to
lie in one position day and night and
endure again that awful anguish—the
very thought of it blanched his delicate
face and sent a thrill of dread and ter
ror to his heart.
The mad heifers did not halt nor
slacken their speed* Bnt presently they
gave a sharp torn and plunged into the
com.
The sudden movement overtnrried the
wagon and Jerry was sent tumbling
from his seat to the ground.
He felt heavily and lay quite still.
The overturning of the wagon threw
one of the calves on its side, where it
pinned down by the tongue, and this
performance brought an end to the run
away.
Brace reached Jerry’s side hatless and
breathless, and his heart almost stopped
beating as he bent anxiously above the
white, inanimate figure of his brother.
“Oh, Jerry!” he cried. “Oh, Jerry!
are yon hurt? Oh, it’s awful 1 I’m afeard
he’s killed! Oh, Jerry, open your eyes—
open your eyes, Jerry!”
Brace was almost frantic. In a few
moments Jerry opened his eyes, other
wise he did not move.
“Are you hurt much, Jerry?” Brnce
asked again and again. Finally Je-ry
answered:
“1 reckon not.”
Then a strange thing happened. Jerry
got np on ilia feet and stood straight—as
straight as he used to stand before hi
was thrown from the horse; straight
like Bruce!
The fall, instead of injuring him anew,
had done a wonderful thing for him. It
had somehow strained the cords of his
back, or jerked them into their normal
position, and he was a cripple no longer:
weak and faint, blit a cripple no longer.
Brnce carried him on his back to the
house, where he put him npon the bed
and then went to the relief of the calves.
One of them had scrambled to her
feet, and the other lay flat on her side
under the cart tongue. Both were once
more in a very meek mood, and Brnce
had little difficulty in releasing them
and leading them back to tbe cow pen.
When their parents came home they
were told all abont the dreadful eventof
the day, which, strangely enough, had
resulted happily instead of fatally.
“So yon thought it would be a good
joke to break the heifers while yonr pa
and ma were away?" said Effie. laughing.
“1 should think the joke is on you.”
But they all rejoiced over Jerry’s won
derful cure, which proved permanent.
Jerry is now a lithe, strong man.—Ar

We’ll get in an ride," Brace decided.
“They'll go better if they are talked to
from behind.”
He got a stick and sharpened the end
of it for a goad and then the two clam

driving process was begun.

A DEMAND BY THE ROUGH.

o
ISSUES AN ADDRESS TO THE PEO-
That the social season on Cherry Hill,
had not displayed the brilliancy that had
marked it from the time Miss Maggie
Kelly had the leadership in snch matters
thrust upon her was due entirely to the
fact that the young lady had passed
period of dangerous illness. At one
time they thought the end had come.
The doctor thought so too, for he bent
over her for many minutes before he was
sore that she still continued to breathe.
Miss Kelly’s illness started with a
slight cold. It didn’t bother her any at
first, and sho went to her work at the
envelope factory with the same regular
ity that had characterized her for years.
Then she began to feel worse. Her
mother advised her to remain at home
for a couple of days, bnt Miss Maggie
would have none of it. At that particu
lar time she was doing another girl’s
work in addition to her own, which
meant that she would receive double
the usual amount of pay when the week
was ended.
The young girl needed the money very
much, for she wished to attend the third
annual ball of . the Social Five, which
was to occur during the following week.
On that occasion she had proposed to ap
pear in a costume that would delight
the hearts of her friends and still the ad
verse criticism of her enemies.
Mr. Slobsy Carroll, with much plead
ing in his tones, had begged of her to
accompany him to the ball. She had re
fused the gentleman at first, and very
frankly told him her reasons for bo doing.
If 1 go with you," she said, “you’ll
go off ’n git a jag on, an themyonll com
mence to spout tragedy, an somebody’ll
sock yer in the eye ’n there’ll be a scrap.
I don’t want no scrappers takin me to a
ball.” Mr. Carroll was much hurt upon
hearing why'Miss Kelly did not care to
go to the ball with him. Then he pro
tested against her classification.
“1 ain’t no scrapper, Mag,” he
“Fm a actor.”
The young lady referred to a disturb
ance which Mr. Carroll had started at
the last party she gave in order to prove
her assertion. Mr. Carroll protested
with much vehemence that it was not he,
bnt the quantity of beer he had imbibed
on that occasion which was responsible
(or the outbreak.
Miss Kelly naively remarked that per
haps the beer might be responsible for
another snch scene, but -Mr. Carroll
hastened to assure her that snch would
not be' the case. He even went so far as
to hope he might die on the spot if he
would become involved in any quarrel
at the ball. He was so far successful in
convincing Miss Kelly that he would be
have himself if only she would go with
him that finally she consented.
Her mother was not altogether pleased
with the choice Miss Maggie had jttadv
for a partner at the ball. “Shore,” the
old lady had said, “yer moight betther
had wint wid Mike Welsh. He’s a nice,
quiet, dacent, good young man.”
“I know he is, maw,” the young wom
an replied. “He’s too good. If Slobsy
don’t git fall he’ll be all right.”
“Yea, if he don’t,” the mother re
sponded grimly.
It really oeemed as if the fates were
against her accompanying Mr. Carroll,
for the very day after she had consented
she commenced to feel ilL Three days
later she was unable to rise from her
bed, and the doctor was called in.
“Your daughter will have a hard time
of it,” he told the young lady’s mother.
A heavy fever Bet in, and on the evening
set for the ball Miss Kelly was delirious.
Then the doctor said the critical time
was at hand, and that the young wom
an’s recovery depended as much on care
ful nursing as his medicines. He said
that no noise should bo made that would
disturb the patient. Miss Tessie Brady
said she would see that the injunction
was carried out.
Miss Brady bad come ont in a new
r since her friend Maggie became
From the very first she had been at
Miss Maggie’s side.
Without her the Kellys could have
obtained no rest, for a ceaseless vigil
was maintained over the patient. For
the first few nights Miss Brady went to
her own home shortly after midnight.
so slowly and gently placed it beneath
her daughter’s head. The other arm
was put half way around the girl’s body.
The figure beside tho bcil began to sway
to and fro, and from tho mother’s lips
there issued a lullaby that had not been
heard in the Kelly household for years.
At first it was faint, like a sigh, bnt
soon grew a little louder and steadier.
The physician came in, looked for a mo
ment, and then turned av^ay without a
word.
It seemed like hours to Miss Brady
before the physician again came in. He
raised his finger to the mother, and the
singing and rocking ceased. After
watching the patient for a moment he
hastily wrote a prescription. He handed
it to Miss Brady and told her the quicker
the medicine was procuied the more
chance there was of saving the patient’s
life.
The young woman went swiftly down
the stairs and to the door. Mr. Carroll
was there.
“Slobsy,” she said excitedly, “go over
to the drug store an git this quick. If
yon don’t hurry up, Mag”
Bnt Slobsy was already gone. He
dashed across the street and around the
corner like a flash. A moment later the
drag store door was thrown Violently
open and Mr. Carroll bounded in.
He approached a clerk with Titian
hair and said:
“Hey, young feller! Gimme this’s
quick ez yer kin.”
He then threw the prescription on the
counter. The clerk picked it np in a
leisurely manner and scanned it careless
ly. Then he asked, “Are you to- a
hurry?”
“Yair," Mr. Carroll responded, sur
prised that any one would think other
wise.
“Well, you’ll have to wait until your
hurry’s over,” came from the other to a
cool, breezy manner.
Mr. Carroll’s brow lowered ominously.
“S-aa-y, young feller,” bo said, very
slowly and distinctly, “do yon mean
that?’
“Of course P— The clerk never gov
any farther than that, nor could anyone
who happened to be in the place at the
time tell just what happened. They saw
something bound over the counter,
heard a thud, saw the proprietor ran
ont, wave his arms, and then saw a piece
of paper thrust into his hamL
“Gimme that quick or I’ll break yer
jaw, see!” they heard a voice exclaim,
and then they saw a young man throw
some money on the counter and dash
out of the place at his best speed. Slobsy
handed the package to Miss Brady, and
a moment later the physician had ad
ministered it. For another half hour
they waited. Mrs. Kelly went into the
kitchen. The patient was lying quite
still now, and the doctor was bending
over her.

THE WORLD’S FAIR.
Gov. Northen issues an address to the
>eople that will be read with interest as
t boars directly on the question of se
curing for Georgia an exhibit at the Co
lumbian Exposition. The address is aa
follows: ■ -V:
‘1 o The People ofGecegia:—
Upon the invitation of the citizens of
Macon, the Georgia Weekly Press Asso
ciation held an extra session December
4 th to consider the possibility of & cred
itable display of Georgia’s resources at
the Columbian Exposition, to be held
at Chicago in 1893. This Convention
was largely attended by representative
members of the press, who fully dis
cussed and thoroughly endorsed the
suggestions submitted to them.
After fall deliberation, with a view
to inaugurate definite plana to secure
tbe exhibit, tbe Convention appointed
a State Executive Committee, to con
sist of one member from each Congress
ional district, whose business it is to
arrange the details and begin, at once,
such efforts as will best secure tbe pur
poses of the Convention and advance
the interests of the Sate.
The Executive Committee, as constit
uted by the Press Convention, met in
tbe city of Macon, December 16th, and
effected permanent organization by
electing the Governor of the State
Chairman of the Committee,and W. W.
Collins, of Macon, Secretary and Treas
urer.
Under instructions given by the Con
vention, the Committee arranged to in
crease its membership by adding one
member selected from each of the towns
and cities m tbe State that contain more
than three thousand inhabitants.
For the purpose of a more complete
organization throughout the State, the
Ordinaries of the several counties in A*.
this State were requested to furnish to
the Secretary the name of some public-
spirited citizen in each county who
would agree to act as tbe chairman of a
County Board of Directors, whose duty
it will be to seleot two other suitable
citizens of tbe county to con»titute,with
him, a County Board for tho purpose of
securing funds and exhibits for Geor
gia’s display. ~
The Committee farther requested the
editor of each newspaper in i;he State to
act as special representative of the
World’s Fair movement in Georgia, to
open a column for voluntary subscrip
tions, and to urge upon the people from
time to time tbe necessity for prompt
action in the matter.
These appointments will constitute
the active forces for securing funds and
exhibits for Georgia’s display. If we
have tbe co-operation of the people of
State, Georgia will be successfully ad
vertised to the world. If the people
are indifferent, the whole scheme will
fall, and our State will lose the leader

column which was Ordered to occupy a
bridge affording the only line of retreat
for the _ Austrians. “Losing my way
among the streets of the town,” he goes

way to the bridge, but aa we were still
under fire, she was afraid. Thereupon
I ordered her to be led by the arm at

use. One of the grenadiers was wound

Chairman, to ask the earnest, active aid ,
of all the people of the State in this
worthy effort. We cannot afford to be
absent from tbe gathering of States. In
all the history of onr people there was
never a better opportunity to advertise J
tbe State in its products, its resources
and advantages, so as to secure-the up
building of our various industries, the
development of agriculture, manufac
tures and commerce, and thereby secure
the increase of our taxable property
and the consequent distribution of tbe
burdens of government among a greater
number of State interests. '
Not only will the display secure the ' (
proper illustration and advertisement of ‘X
the State, but the advertisement of the
several localities, counties and sections
of the State as such. Any locality,
county or section, or, indeed, any spe
cial industry can make its special dis
play as a part of the aggregate whole
for the State and reap the benefit of the
advertisement of its special wares, pro- - . .
ducts and advantages. ^Ete&fiKSS&HH
The scope of this exhibit will not be
confined, therefore, to material display,
but extended to descriptive circulars,
pamphlets and such personal presenta
tions as may give to the people outsid6
of the State a fall and satisfactory
knowledge of our people, products and
possibilities. The committee intends
tbe display to represent Georgia in mins
ature, embracing every feature that
makes the wealth of the State and the
content of the people.
A creditable display cannot he secur
ed, transported to Chicago, installed in
its place and properly cared for during
the Exposition without a liberal ex
penditure of funds. ' '
The Secretary of the Executive Com
mittee has been instructed to furnish to
the Treasurer of each County Board the
amount necessary, in the opirdon of the
Committee, for each county to con
tribute to the display, in order to raise
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS as a general fpnd.
With proper diligence and under
proper methods, this amount <>/ money
can be easily secured from the peopte
of the State.
It must not be understood that the
active agents in this work are necessa
rily confined to those named by the
Committee. The County Boards, by
selection, may call to their aid any
other citizens who will consent to ren
der service in obtaining subscriptions
or securing exhibits.
The amounts collected can be f*r-
warded.from time to time,to the Treas
urer, W. W. Collins,at Macon.to be se
curely held under sufficient bond and
on deposit until properly appropriated
under the direction of the Advisory
Board.
To illustrate the enterprise of our
people and the wealth and the progress
of our State, every patriotic citizen
should bring to the help of the Cona-
mittee a worthy contribution of his
means and his services, under the hear
ty endorsement of his good will.
Just as soon a3 the County Boards
are.wellorganized information will be
given them as to the means for secur
ing contributions in money and collect
ing exhibits. We hope to have the full
co-operutiou of all classes of our peo
ple. A ' r
