£ ^ ^dderson |j VOL XXIII NO 4 VIENNA, GA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 1004 $1 A YEAR in advance Mary sat upon a pin But showed no pertubation; For some of her was genuine. But most was imitation. Diligence is the mother of good luck. Nothing can be great that is not right. Gun motal green is a smart shade in veiling. Anger is the thunder that sours the milk of human kindness. Make the best of the troubles you liavo. Don’t hunt for more. Treat all women folks with cour tesy, more especially. A woman thinks that any man who tells hot she is beautiful has the making of a great man. The woman who. Bets out the best preserves for her husband and not for company is truly an angel. Teach your girl now to cook, and if she does not thank you, some body’s son will thank you i'er her. If husbands and wives were al ways sweethearts thore 'would bo no longings for another aud better world. It is a smart woman that knows how to dress and appear so as to keep her friends guessing as to her age. It sends cold shivers down a girls spine to remember after she gets in a hammock, that she hasn’t got on her best stookings. During a fire in a New York ho tol a woman dressed herself in less than fifteen minutes. The record will doubtless stand tor eternity. Young man, two cigars a day would'buy you a nice little home in twenty-five years, and your wife would have a husband she could he much prouder of. Considering the variegated trou bles through which everybody has lived at one time or another, it is surpr&Bng that anybody ever wor ries about anything. The new figure is higher m the bust;' it is higher in the waist and decidedly higher in the belt line.- And what is much more important from every stanpoiut is that the waist itself is smaller. During courtship a sweet girl is apt to think that marriage is a haven of rast in which she will be free from all worry and care. After the honeymoon is over she wakes up to a realization that she has another think coming. The bust must be full and high. The low bust effects are going out and the high, well developed figure is coming in. It will take a great deal of physical culiure to develop the figure properly, but it can be done. The Japanese women are as ao- tive aud strong as the men. An English • writer on physical culture suggests that this may account for the Jap’s oouroge in war. After he has settled his domestic problem with a* wife as muscular and agile .as himself, war has no terrors for him. Let girls learn to cook and let them learn to do it well. No girl has a right' to marry and go into a house of her own until she tho roughly understands how to super intend every branch of housekeep ing, and to do this she must have a praotioal knowledge of how to ao things herself. Let girls have a _ yart in the housekeeping before they j ,masry. . LOST HIS ARM. Young Rufus James in a Gim J. R. James lost his right arm last Wednesday morning by an ao- oident in his father's gin, in tbo lower part of the county. The gih choked and the young man attempt ed to pick the cotton out with his pick fingers .•’The saws caught his sleeve and into the gin his arm went, and it was sawed to pieces from his el bow down, and his hand fell on the cotton seed pile below, lie pickod up the loose hand with his other hand, but it was of no service to him then, aud he turned his attention to the bleeding arm that was out to pieces. He sat upon the steps, of the gin house until his horse could be put to the buggy and he was driven to Cordele, about fivo miles, before anything was doue for him. His arm was taken off near the shoulder, and he is getting along fairly well with it. He is a son Mr. W. S. James, known as Bcckuin. The- young man has been running the gin foH several years, and had become an expert in the manage ment of it. But, like lots of young men, he got nearer and nearer to danger until he rubbed up against it and off wcat his arm. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Son of Shorod Hamilton Struck The home of Mr. G. S. Hamil ton, in -tbo 14 th district, was struck by lightning Sunday evening and his son, Tom Watson Hamilton, was instantlv killed; The ohimney of the nouse wa« >vrecked, a door shutter torn from its place and sev eral of the family scorched by the Hash. At any rate the Unspeakable can point with pride to the fnot that the American ultimatum is the only brand that oan move him. The merchant who says in his ad vertisement just wbat ho would m an hour's talk with a customer has solved the problem of writing an effective advertisement. In some families the mather or children, sometimes the “old mat;’ 1 subscribes for everything that comes along—organs, lightning rods, sub scription books, pictures, brio a- brao—anything they can pay for on the installment plan. It is a vioious practice, All has to be paid for some time or other, and putting it off affords only temporary relief. Buy only what you actually need aul what you are able to pay for on the spot. Tbo best lesson children can learn, at home or elsewhere, is to be kind, polite and courteous. ThiR is the surest passport on any road and into any business. Prof. (.'nas. Richet, the apoBtio of peace in Paris, is said to have fig ured that war has cost 14 000,000 lives in the nineteenth century. The twentieth century bids fair to rival the nineteenth. • Camda should .be cautious how she invites American farmers to hor northern territory. When enough of them get over there they arc liable to segede and annex half the Dominion to the United States. Assuming its most financial au thorities do, that a large per capita of money in circulation means good times, then good times aro assured The per capita now is $30, nearly twice what it was twenty-five years ago. A person who has examined into the matter reports that it is quite a common thing for bakers to mix 20 per .cent, of corn flour, 5 per cent, of potato flour and 76 per cent, of wheat .flour together, and, as one baker expresses it, “it is just the’ thing.” Manohuria, where the Russians aud Japanese are fighting, is said to have as muoh wheat land as all the U. S. - put together, and not an acre of it under tillage. If this be true why not the fools quit fighting and'taxing their people to death and settle a few millions m Manohuria to raise food? No wonder they continue barbarians or semi-oiviliz- ed, if they neglect to cultivate the land under their very feet and pre fer the horrors of war to the arts of peaco. It does not pay to feed tho^ro- duoc of the farm to inferior stock, nor does it pay to buy food for them. Those aro tbo kind that prove the old proverb of eating thoir heads off. There has been lots of kicking past seasons about the price of cotton in Vienna, but no fair minded man can say Vienna has not had a very fine market up to the present season. She is ahead of ANYTHING ON THE PIKE. If you want a good price for cotton bring it to Vienna: You can gin it round or square. Patronize the packing that pays you best. We are in the market for cotton seed, and will pay for them either in cash or barter. If you are opposed to seliing your seed for money, you can ezchange for meal and hulls. There is nothing better as a feed for your cattle than meal and hulls, and meal is .one of the best fertilizers that is being sold. Bring your cotton in, s^ed, and have it ginned your way, and sell your seed to the Vienna Cotton <^il Company. TJiey will treat ypu right. Yours very truly, ED. HOWELL, August 29th. Have t,o work harder these days to keep tho weeds down. The oafth is harder and they have a firmer hold on the soil. Do not lot your hoe got rusty—shiny hoe, nice veg- etablfcs and lots of them. How-much capital have you in vested in the 'worrying business? Some folks put everything they have into it and never draw out a cent. All they got in tho end is crow’s feet around their oyos, sour faces and dried up souls. ^Dooh it pay? The man in tho automobile .is generally so swelled that ho doos not want to know that others hayo some rights on tho highway. Down east where benzine buggy drivers got pretty gay tne farmors oarry a loaded shot gun in their wagons, and when threatened to ho run down they open with a couple of rounds. It is surprising how it brings tho proud ohauffours to thoir'sonecs. A farmer who knows considerable about a horse, says tho following is good thing to keep in the barn all the tune: Half a pound of pow dered ginger, half a pound of oroam of tartar aud an equal amount of Raltpeter. Mix thoroughly. Give level tablcspoonful to each horse once a week in his feed. This, ho says, will prove a most valuable condition powder and save many a ease of sickness. If a horse takes cold, give him this a few days and will help greatly in bringing about a cure. These business men who do not believe it profitable to advertise during tne dull summer months should note the catalogues arriving from the mail order houses at this time. Those firms know that the merchants in small towns quit ad; vertismg at this time of the year and so they flood tho country with their ads, and gain a big viotory while their competitors are waiting for business to pick up. When business is light is just the time it needs stimulating, The most interesting article now being published in this country is the exposure of the trioks of the Standard Oil crowd. The last is sue just out shows how the crowd Without a dollar, purchased a $39 000,000 copper property, sold it to the public for $76,000,000 and fi nally fleeced the public out of most of that money. Mr. Lawson calls this frenzied finance. The average plain oitizen would call it robbery and murder^ as the transaction he proclaims, caused m4ny suicides, bankruptcies, sent men to prison f&r defalcations, etc. This is the first exposure of a pubiio character that has been made of Wall'streot methods, but to men wW'enjoy speculating it should he an eye op cuer.

The game of “loap frog" lias Ins- come popular among Newport soci ety women, and tho epidemic or libber in the neck has attaokod tho /non. Open work stookings never look well in the street—in fact loud tockings of any kind are avoided by tho girl who wishes to presont a modest, ladylike appearance.

One may live among the Fronoh for years and never once meet a sin gle woman—that is to say a woman who is old, or gro wing old, without a wedding ring on her left hand. There has just died in Denver a Mrs. Gillespie who has thirty child ren, and they were all twins. This notable mother was born in Eng land, hut came to America forty years ago.
