The cotton and corn in Colquitt is ahead ot anything in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The state normal school at Athens is reported in a most flourishing condition. The attendance has reached 200. Macon will in a few months be talking with Americas, Augusta and all with Atlanta via the Southern over the tele phone. Atlanta business men have promptly subscribed the $2,500 necessary to secure the exposition park and grounds for the amusement company. In a few days ground will be broken for a cotton mill at Cartersville. The gentlemen at Ihe bead of the enterprise are well known business men of that town. A stamp cancelling machine is about to be put in tbo Savannah postoflice. It will be operated by electricity. The connections for the motor will be made at once and the machine will be here in a short time. A Glascock county boy, Matthew Lewis, shot a chicken Tuesday evoning and three sons of Mr. Hud Daniel were wounded by the charge, though not seriously. The boys were not seen when the gun was fired. Joe Allen, who is in jjiil in Atlanta for .('.forgery, -tried, to 'fcnk tl*#,'"insanity held out pretty well for a tewd*ye, but floejlly had to give it up ;^«a a mental in danger ot parks is to be fixed up.

The Macon order of Catholic Knights of Amorica has raised an appeal for help from the hundred or more Catholics who were sufferers by the cyclone which re cently devasted St. Louis, The Knights immediately responded to the appeal and have taken measures to give aid to their suffering brethren The demand for lots in Meldrim has been so great during the last twelve months that a large part of the original plat has been taken up. To meet the increasing demand for building lots, Moj. Meldrim has employed G. A. Schneider, of Savannah, to survey and map out a hundred or more additional building lots, both north and south of the present limits of the village. A Big Trade Issue under the auspices of the Savannah Morning News is to be issued in September. The Trade Issue will contain the advertisements ot the leading business houses, merchants, manufacturers and mechanics of Savan nah, and will illnstr&te to the outside world what the city has done and is prc pared to do in the way of trade and com merce. Mr. W. J. Shaw, one of the best known men in this section of the state, died at home near Rays Mill. Mr. Shaw Lad been in good health up to two weeks ago, when be went into the field and pulled a row of fodder and returned to the house very nervous. He grew worse each day until death claimed him. It wae believed that his death was due to the excessive hot weather in the firld where he began work. Atlanta has given a deed over the old state capitol for $250,000 to secure the money to build her new city hall. City Marshal Feagin of Americus is proud in the possession of a pair of Kontucky bloodhounds, with pedigrees us long as a clothes line. They can catch anything that runs, swims or flies, and woe now to the jailbird who escapes.

The South Georgia ;railroad is being pushed right along. President Oglesby has bought from W. E. Algee & Co., of Atlanta an engine, a passenger coach and new rails for twenty-two miles. The line when completed from Quitman to Adel on the Georgia Southern and Flor ida will be thirty one miles long. It will probably be connected with a road owned by the .Atlanta Lumber Company and the roads together will have nearly seventy miles of track. Simeon Shaw of Madison has a chip on his shoulder. In the current issue of the Advertiser he has a card which reads: “To Whom it May Concern—I wish to say that anyone who says or in sinuates that 1 1 came back from Japan from any motive of interest or cowardice —or any unworthy motive or cause what ever. or for the purpose of precipitating a prohibition contest or for any other sinister reason is an unmitigated cow ard in the first place, and a dastardly liar constitutionally.

For Our Housekeepers and Lady Readers. Hilttn Fort* in tug to th« Home—Help* Md Hints for HoqnvItm abA Others, from Kitchen to Parlor. Order in Our Homes, It is an undisputed fact that, an orderly home is pleasing to its occupants and the same is true looking on the other side—a poorly kept house is a disagreeable abode for those whose tastes are formed for order. An exchange Bays: It is a pleasure to see an orderly house, where everything has its place and where the members of the family delight in keep ing the place tidy. Now, there is n vast difference between ordor and stioh primness that neither chairs nor pillows are allowed to be moved from their respective positions, and if such a thing should happen, the housewife hurries to place them into their corners again. This sort of order mnkeB husbands and sons feel that there ts no com fort in home, and consequently they seek other resorts where they havo some liberty. Each member of the family, even to the tiny toddler, should be taught to be orderly. It will save a great amount of work tor the mother, besides teaching valuable lessons of neatness to the others. Little ones should be encouraged to pick up and pnt away their toys when they do not care to play longer. Let them get as clrty as they please, for soap and water will correct that 1 No healthy child is always clean. If he is, something ia decidedly wrong. Instead of permitting the children to place their dirty or greasy little fingers on furniture or window panes, give them a Cloth and show them how to take the finger marks awav. In this way they will learn to be careful and keep others from doing that which they would not do. If the little ones are permitted to help “mamma" or “papa" ever so little, they will take more pride in their snrronndings and in the efforts pnt (brill to keep order. It hi wonderful what an lnflnenoe can be brought to'bihr on the children along this The I line lb the home. Wie know of an instance moving ttain and waa knocked out of place. At a fire in a email shanty near Dyson postoflice recently, when the roof had fallen and the floor had (riven way, two kegs of powder exploded almost eimnl- taneouly, injuring a number of specta tors. No one knew the powder was there. It must have been placed under the house when the railway was building eleven years ago. The cleverest shepherd dog in Georgia is probably Nero, who is owned by Ben Ellis, of Waycross. Nero was brought here about two months ago by his owner from biB Dome at Dade City, Fla., and hia numerous clever tricks and strict obedience to his master made him popu lar at once. Nero attracts attention everywhere he goes. He is always with his master, and night he occupies place at the window in Mr. Ellis’ room. A burglar wonld fare badly if he tried to pass Nero at night. Nero is a splendid messenger and carries notes and bou- qnets to his master’s sweetheart, and delivers packages and other things, never making a mistake.—Waycross corrospom dence Morning News. Messrs. Brobston, Fendig & Co., ot Brunswick, a few days ago sold to Mr. Kinney,of Indiana, a tract of 1,000 acres of pine land near Everett City. Mr. Kinne.v will build a new sawmill on the tract and emplov a large number of men. Many odd contributions have been made to the museum at Savannah, the latest being the ear of a negro woman brought there yesterday morning. Liz zie Phelps is short one ear, which she carried to Justice Graham yesterday wrapped iu a handkerchief. According to Lizzie's statement, Bhe and Laura Mann engaged in a knock-down argu ment yesterday, and dnring the circus Ltura masticated the bearing apparatus on the starboard side of Lizzie’s anatomy. Justice Graham will get the details of the scrap. The report of the receivers of the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Com pany of Coiumbus waa issued yestered.

Taught by example and it stands to reason that the mother should follow strlot lines and rules in the care, of her itougbtone- 4*rom the yttunguet to the att est there should be a system of order. Each one should have a peg on which his or her wraps and bat could be hung on removal, and not left for the weary mother to pick np when the others are resting. No unneces sary work need be made by any member for another if eaoh one is taught orderliness. It is a mean form of selfishness. No comfort need be sacrificed for perfect order. It is merely a thoughtfulness on the part of each member of the tamiiy,mak ing the home life happier, if anything. One man—naturally an orderly man—of the writer’s acquaintance, would never think of nutting his dirty shoe on the cleanly scrub bed floor nntil be had carefully pnt papers or pieces ot carpet down first. He never sits down Into a chair on which is a pretty, clean tidy, with his dirty coat on; in fact, be nsnally removes it neatly folded to one side. It Is the same in everything he does, and yet bis home Is the most comfortable and one of the happiest in existence. He appreciates the neatness and cleanliness in his home, and there is no doubt but that his wife is the happier for it. She will not go to an early grave from overwork if he can help it, which he daily does by his orderli ness. The husband will naturally fall into line with the order of things be they uplifting or degrading. A sigh of sorrow for the home where his tastes are lowered. eoohing aOkild Self-Oontrol If o, child can be taught self-control it will be a b|tosing to him all through hts life and for those who live with him. Much of the critno committed is done In fits of passion. Many pqople of good family have so little contrqlajver their tempers that they are njjiisances to everyone they know. Others nave made their own lives miserable through thelr^bufsts of pnssion, which they were novoriaught to control. Somo of the earliost impulses of a child is to cry loudly, kick or thrust out its tiny fists on every provocation. This the parent may control long before tho child Is able to speak. Of course, everything the baby does is considered "cute," and his little bursts of passion are merely laughed at. Dear mothers, this is n loolish practice in buff’s training. lie Is small and helpless now, birt the influence is not for his best. Ampler thing, too, when the child has fallen or hnrt himself in any way he nat- uralljwcrys and screams, probably from fright or,pain. Here, too, the mother may teach selfrcontrol. She oan hush him, ex plain the cause of the trouble and teach him that, to give vent to shrieks and tears will not help In the least. A child should never be coaxed into quietness by promises of sweets or gifts. Tnls is too apt to encourage noisy denionstrations rather than other wise, and many children will scream until hev are pacified by pennies or cakes. Even a.llttle child will understand that he must not allow his body to gain control over him, and the earlier he learns it the hint.better for Lst him learn to be master over his appetites and passions, thus better fitting lilmselt to battle with this world, which at best Is a bard school, —Prairie Farmer. WITH THE WITS. Things to Laugh at During the Hot Days, Floating Fun Cunningly Chronicled to Make the Nley-et-Home. Smile, “You can’t keep a good man down," said Jonah when the whale had got through with him. The Funny Mnn'e Fancies. In one of the Bmatler towns of Ken tucky lives a negro familiarly known as Tim White.” On one occasion it was necessary to rocord his full name. The not. unusual supposition that “Tim" stood for “Timothy” was met with flat denial. “No, sab I My right name is Wiint-timorous-Bouls-we-poor-mortals- be White.’ Dey jes' calls me Tim fo’ short, sah.” The Ideal Housekeeper, Here is what one sister thinks of it. To my mind an ideal housekeeper is not one who hire? tervants torun her house. The moat daintily kept homes are those swept and garnished by the lady of the honse. It may require some household management to make other ends meet, but a wise housewife enjoys this test of her prudence rather than shuns it. What is obtained without effort is enjoyed little. Have home made food not bakers’ food. To he an ideal housewife one must under, stand baking, washing, Ironing and sewing, each a trade in itself, a housekeeper must be mistress of each trade. Ideal house keeping is doing something more than do ing general honsework. If one has children there are greater duties to perform. Watch anxiously for the first sign of sin and re press it; punish a fault becanse It is a fault, reprove with calmness; pnnish as often as yon threaten and threaten only when you Intend and can remember to perform; say what you mean and do what you say. Re member that one sentence of honest praise bestowed at the right time is worth a whole volley of scolding. When a man comes home from business and finds his wife worn out with care he is apt to think that she should have been in his place; then she would have something to worry her; he does not stop to think that she has conducted a university, a clothing establishment, ( restaurant and laundry while she is also health officer and police of the home.

When the broom gets those sharp points, dlpin hot sndsand shear neatly, thus preserving the fquare shape. This gives you virtually a new nroom. A good carpet-sweeper will prove a great saver of the broom, an well as the carpets and hard labor ,by brushing up lint,crumbs, etc., between regular sweepings.

The inside of a hen is sometimes filled up with marbles and shirt buttous and sich. A hen ia very much smuller than a good many otbor animals, but they’ll dig up more tomato plants titan any thing that ain’t a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum-puddingH.
