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 Live to speak.”—Boston Courier. 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 thur C. Grisson in Youth’s Companion. 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 bered into the cart Once more the driving process was begun. “Move along now.

BROADBEAD. 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. He Outlines a Plan of Procedure by Which Georgia Will be Able to Ob tain a Creditable Display. Willing to Begin.

Then tho lips were parted, and from them came faintly, “Where’s me ole woman?” “She’ll come throngh all right now, the doctor said, and Miss Brady com menced to cry. A few moments later and the doctor passed ont of the house. A block away he was followed by a square shouldered young man who walked with a swagger. The doctor was to a hard neighborhood, so he grasped his heavy cane more firmly. The figure soon came np with him and stopped. The physician looked into the other’s face and half raised his cane. Then the other spoke. He said: “Hey, Doc. On the dead level, is”— “Well?” asked the physician sharply. “Is she—she dead, yon know, up there?’ indicating the Kellys’ home with his finger.

Mr. Carroll always loitered about the neighborhood until Miss Brady came out. Then, while he was walking home with her, she would tell him how Mag gie was getting along.

Then bo stared at her blankly and said, “Gee!” When the doctor came that evening he said he thought he’d stay awhile. He told Mrs. Kelly that if her daughter’s sense’s did not return by midnight she might expect the worst. That evening saw the father and mother, with Mias Brady, sitting at the bedside of the social queen of Cherry Hill. The neighbors who. were obliged to go np and down stairs did so on tip toe and made no sound in the halls. Then the doctor came to, examined the young woman, and said he mighl want some one to go to the nearest drag store in a hurry. Miss Brady said she would look after that matter and straightway proceeded to the street door, where Mr. Carroll was standing patient ly. In a few words she told him of Miss Kelly's condition and warned him not to go away, as he might be needed at any moment. She returned up stairs in time to hear PLE OF GEpRGIA ABOUT THE WORLD’S FAIR.

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 ship of the South in progress and en terprise j i i® /Suddenly her eyes opaaed.

France the Maid of Ratisbon, who by her intrepidity saved a whole French army from destruction {luring the Napoleonic wars, has long been believed to no less implicity than Joan of Arc or Jeanne Hachette of Beauvais or the Maid of Saragossa. General Marbot, iu his memoirs, gives the true version 6f the story. After the assault irpanrtatis- bon, he says, he was in command of a 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 to say, “I suddenly saw a young 'woman spring up before me, crying ‘Save me. I am a Frenchwoman.’ Shi* was a dressmaker established in busiues> at Ratisbon. I asked her to show ns the 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 the head of the column by two grena diers. She shrieked, but it was of no use. One of the grenadiers was wound ed in the arm, and the blood spurted over the poor, terrified woman. She fainted and had to he carried..

Arctic explorers wou d do to make a note of this 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 “Georgia must be represented at the World’s Fair.” W. J.
