TIig Country Newspaper,
From our recent meeting with
the editors and proprietors of the
weekly newspapers of Georgia and
from a free conversation with them
upon .the. subject of finance as re
lates to the country weekly news
paper, we were peculiarly impress
ed with their condition. And we
regret exceedingly that that im
pression was not a favorable one
for the future welfare of our coun
try paper.
We ,11111st all admit that the
standard in everything is being
raised in Georgia. Learning,
,with an epidemic of crime for the j lincment, art,literature, mechanics
labor, all are being improved.
But are the country newspapers
improving as are other branches
Atlanta’s bold, bad breakers,
^defaulters and forgers are rapidly
sapling to the light. This, our
.greatestGeorgia city has snffc ei
past few months.

The citizens of Macon county
(will soon take a vote as to whether
the court house shall be moved
from Oglethorpe, the present coun
ty site to Montezuma. Montezu
ma offers a building’site and $20,-
,000 if the people will move the
f court hoyse to that place.
We of ( ten wonder why some peo
,ple persist in eking out a mere ex
istence on the old, worn-out, bar-
yen hills in some sections of Geor
gia while .there are millions of
acres of rieli fanning lands in the
Wiregrass. Possibly many don’t
£$ow any better while others do
not care to know.
ReUef Must Come.
Relief has been promised the
^people time and again for the past
Three years and j-et business has
been lugging and money grown
more scarce.
Our planters were the first to
raise the cry of oppression. They
felt it deeply and were in earnest,
piir professional men, bankers and
merchants told them that the
trouble was an over-production
of cotton and an under-production
of home supplies. They went to
work on the 6iipply question and
fbisj’eur very little supplies have
been bought while many offered
some for sale. The next year will
find our producers better fortified
ion this line than thej- have been
before in ten years. And they
have found that this was really
’one Horn of the dilemma. But
'they are not relieved. There is no
demand, at remunerative prices,
‘for it elsewhere. We have 110
4 great centers of population that
We non-producers to take our food
products. Therefore we must
raise cotton as money cropland at
present prices there is no money
in it-really not enough to pay cost
'of production. Hence the farmers
are not fully relieved, nor can be
until they receive a better price
Tor cotton. Yet they are in better
bondition than three years ago.
£ut thepe has come a still wor e
impossible, state of affairs than
existed before. Otir railroads are
all broke, our strongest financial
institutions going to pieces drag
ging their creditors with them,
’our banks, some of them worth
many times their liabilities, are
closing their doors because they
can get 110 monej' to do business
with and many merchants have
made assignments while thousands
of others now tremble for the con
sequence of the next few months.
It see'ins imminent that the near
future will 1 bring about much more
disaster than has been experienced
lierfetofore.
' We do not pretend to know the
cause iior 1 'remedy for all this, nor
Is this u 'pessimistic' view of the
of industry? We are afraid not.
Nor can they under the present
circumstances,
■In the first place there are too
man}’of them. Every little vil
lage, that can find some one with
a handful of type and a $40 army
press that is willing to risk it,
thinks it must have a weekly news
paper if it is no larger tlian a
thumb-paper. In this they are
mistaken. What they do need is
good correspondents to some good
influential paper that circulates
largely among them. By having
so many little papers ' the patron
age is cut off from the better class
and they cannot improve. Every
county should have at least one
paper and patronize it so liberally
and to the exclusion of others
that it may be a good one. The
public at large take the newspa
pers of the different counties as
actual and fair representatives of
what the counties, themselves, are.
In the next place the local pa
pers are not patronized by tile
county people as liberally as they
should be. The local advertisers
do not use them to such an ex
tent as they should—nor do the
towns. There are hundreds of
people in every county that should
subscribe for their local papers
who do not do so.
By this means the average coun
try editor does not make a decent
living! And this explains why
the craft does not improve more.
Put a man in town, expect him
to live as well as other people,
give him a family to support, get
mad if he don’t visit the different
sections, picnics and public meet
ings and write them up, and while
not engaged at this be worrying
his life out trying to collect a few
dollars suoseription or advertis
ing. paying traveling expenses all
the while, and then receive from
$300 to $500 (more $300 than
$500) per year and lie necessarily
will make a failure as a newspaper
man. Therefore the better class
of writers will not attempt to do
it and so many more failures than
successes occur.
Very few merchants advertise as
a rule. Many of those who do
patronize tlie paper do it in a
spirit of condescension for the pa
per's sake. They forget that the
paper is expected to advocate ev
ery measure that would benefit the
county or town and that whatever
benefits the county or town directly
benefits tlie private citizen indi
rectly. Every public institution
must be helped every week, and
yet the paper is a public institution
that nobody thinks of helping.
Tnese causes all go to make a
poor newspaper and pay a poor
editor who cannot make a better
living at something else and the
county and town suffer.
While upon this subject the pro-
prietorsof the Progress desire to
express their appreciation of the
support given them by the mer
chants and citi :ens of Vienna and
the county of Dooly. Our sup
port lias been more liberal than
that of the average country weeklv.
Yet not so liberal as we desired
and stili, possibly more than we
have deserved. We believe that we
have made some improvements in
the Progress in the past five years.
W e could have made more had we
possessed the means and did our
game companion, Mike McConnell,
pulling weeds in his father’s garden.
I pitied Mike, because his father had
a garden and my father hadn’t. I
hailed him just to show him that I
was aristocratic and didn't have to
work. Miko looked up and hailed in
return. ‘I say,’ he said, ‘let's go
swimming.’
“That caught me exactly, and I de
cided that for ono day I was just go
ing to go and swim as much as I
wanted to. When 9 o'clock came and
the sun was getting dreadfully warm,
Miko eased up und went in to say
that he ought to get off now until
evening. Then we beat about the
fences and made good our escape.
There was ono day that I will always
remember. The water was fine, and
I staid in all the forenoon until I got
hungry. 1 grieved to think that I
had a stomach at all. As luck would
have it I met tho Jones hoy, who
wanted to go swimming, but not
re- alone, and so I ato at his house and
went hack. This lasted with proper
mud slinging until dark. Going
along the road toward home at dusk
my rather drooping spirits were
cheered by a convivial hubbub farther
up the road.
“Another crowd was going. I met
them. Their spirits were high, and
with little effort this hilarious influ
ence brought to me the mature re
flection that perhaps 1 had misled
myself into tho belief that I had had
enough swimming for one day. 1
gave in and ’returned. About 4,000,
000 mosquitoes accompanied us.
Something like 3,999,999 must have
delighted in my company. That
night I interviewed my father on va
rious timely topics and retired sore
and weary. Retribution came with
a blistered back, plasters, rheuma
tism and water itch. I think the
scale weighed the heaviest though on
the swimming side.”—St. Louis Post-

Much Ado Over a Little Office.
Many amusing things occur in the
annual town meetings in the smaller
towns of New England, but the
scramble for minor offices sometimes
results in hitter hostilities. At the
town meeting in a small town in
Rockingham county, in New Hamp
shire, the chief contest of the day was
for the office of hearse driver. There
were two candidates for the office,
the friends of each of whom made a
canvass of the town for two weeks
before, and the successful candidate
won by just one vote. The most
amusing part of the thing is that in
the town there is an average of but
6ix deaths a year, and the hearse
driver's pay is fixed at $1 per funeral.
The two candidates do not speak to
each other now.—Boston Journal.
Why an Apple Decays.
The surrounding conditions favor
or retard the growth of decay fungi.
If the temperature is near freezing,
they are comparatively inactive, but
when tlie room is warm and moist
fruit cannot be expected to keep
well. Cold storage naturally checks
the decay. The ideal apple has no
fungous defacements and no bruises.
If it could be placed in a dry, cool
room free from fungous germs, it
ought to keep indefinitely until chem
ical change ruins it as an article of
food.—Professor B. D. Halsted in
Popular Science Monthly.

A Drummer’s Adventure In the Eastern
Kentucky Hills.
“You may talk about your Georgia
crackers if you want to I” growled the
man who represents the “gents’”
furnishing goods firm as he crossed
his legs and began picking yellow
clay from the cracks of his shoes,
“hut I’m here to tell you that tho
eastern Kentucky liilligan is a dodo
compared to them!”
‘What's soured on your appetite
now ?” grinned the sliochouse drum
mer, as he affectionately patted his
pile of sale hills and looked at the
scenery through the gloom of Friday
evening.
“Well,” said the g. f. g. man sour
ly, “I left Greenbrier Monday for
some new territory, winch I had lieen
told was very promising. It was—it
promised—and that’s all it did. Noth
ing hut hills and mud—high water
had wiped out the roads so complete
ly that we were lost half the time—
and worse than useless to seek infor
mation from the natives—their ‘gen
eral intelligence’ is so densely igno
rant that they don't knoiv in which
direction to look for the seats of their
breeches. At first I thought it was
simple, unadulterated cussedness, but
at last I had to list it as sheer den
sity.”
“Why?” asked the shoehouso man
as the speaker paused.
“Why? Why, by Joe! I was recom
mended to call on a merchant named
Giles at a little place half way be
tween Webbvillo and tho other side
of nowhere, and when I reached the
place I stopped at the first house I
lame to and asked for lodging, as it
was raining and dark as a stack of
black cats. ‘AH right,’said tho man,
‘come in. ’ Supper was ham and eggs
and biscuits yellower than the but
ter. And then I asked if he knew
any one by the name of Giles there
abouts. ‘No-o,’ says he, with a puz
zled drawl, as if he was trying to
recollect something. ‘I ain't heerd of
nobody hereabaouts by th’ name of ;
Giles—leastways I don’t think I has '
—but take a cheer and rest yer hat a j
bit, and I'll go and ask the postmas- !
ter or some of the folks,’ and off he j
went through tho rain, scratching j
his head as if bewildered about some- 1
thing.
“In—well, say about 15 or 20 min
utes, he came back with a look on his
face of tho blankest amazement I
ever saw on a mortal man. ‘Why,’ .
said he, with a foolish grin and a
sheepish tone, ‘postmaster says as
how my own name is Giles, and, come
to think about it, mister, flanged if I
don't believe it is. Well, this is a go,
ain't it?’ ”
The drummer paused and kicked
his sample case savagely, and then
remarked, with an inflection that de
fies description:
“And I was recommended to sell
that man a bill of goods!”—Cincin
nati Commercial.
Strange Incident of a Funeral Procosulon.
A curious incident in connection
with a French-Canadian funeral took
place recently at Putnam, Conn. The j
funeral was that of a beautiful little
child. The train, a very large one,
with many carriages, had gone a lit
tle way down the main street of Put
nam when it came to a halt in front
of Benoit’s photograph gallery. The
mourners alighted from their ve
hicles and gathered about tho hearse,
and the pallbearers then removed
therefrom the tiny white coffin and
carried it up stairs into the gallery,
tho mourners following them. The
coffin was set upright 011 a table in
the middle of the room, and Mr. Be
noit took a photograph of the dead
child's face in its diamond shaped
coffin frame. Then the coffin was
returned to the hearse, and the train
went on to tho cemetery.—Cor. New
York Sun.
The Last of Jules Ferry.
The room in which M. Jules Ferry
died was transformed into a mortu
ary and hung with draperies worked
in silver. Tho senate voted 20,000
francs to cover the expenses of the
public funeral. A part of the great
Frenchman's will read as follows: “1
order the interment of my body in.
the St. Die cemetery, where repose
my mother and sister, with my face
turned toward the blue line of Vosges,
whence I heard the cries of the van
quished.”—Paris Letter.

Not long ago a Spaniard came into
their office and offered some ciga s
for sale. He said that they were very
i cheap, as he had - smuggled them
through. He acted in so mysterious
a manner that the boy6 were induced
to look at his cigars in tho hope of
getting a bargain. He asked $9 a

$3.75. The boys bought 500. As soon
as the Spaniard disappeared, they

The Result of a Threat.
When John L. Sullivan was here
recently, he succeeded in thoroughly
frightening the property man at Hav-
lin’s by telling him that if he didn't
get a new valise to be used in his play
he would throw the "teater blokie”
and the old gripsack out into the au !
dience on the following night. The 1
next night the stage was covered j
with all sizes and shapes of traveling
bags for the big un to select a suit-
ableone from.—Cincinnati Enmiirpr
