Why It is to a Town’s Inter
est to Support a Good
Weekly.
The average weekly editor usu
ally has his all invested in his
newspaper property. That in
vestment generally represents
from one to two thousand dollars.
Hut it is worth more to the town
than five times the amount invest
ed in any other local enterprise.
As a rule, the newspaper repre
sents to the outside world the town
itself. Poor paper, poor town, is
the usual verdict.
It is therefore, to the interest
of every town to support a good
newspaper. Not through, local
pride alone, but for practical busi
ness reasons. A newspaper is con
stantly doing ten times ns much
for its towns as it could ever hope
to get pay for—more than it could
charge for, if it would.
The most prosperous a paper is
the more it is able to do. Show
ns a good weekly paper, full of
live local ads., with a general cir
culation throughout the county,
and we will show you an up-to-
date, prosperous, progressive com
munity. And we will also show
you a paper that is worth five
times as much to that community
every year than the editor man
eges to make for himself.
Show us a community that per
sistently proceeds on the idea that
the editor of the home paper can
live on the ‘•pi” that accumulates
in the office; whose official bodies
think it a waste of public money
to throw him a bit of public
printing occasionally at living
prices ; whose citizens have come
to regard it as one of their inalien
able rights to work him for long-
winded obituary notices and “in
memoriams,” with three inches
of hymn-book poetry at the end,
to say nothing of an occasional
notice about a lost cow or some
cotton seed for sale, and we will
show you a community that is liv
ing from hand to mouth and is
always on the ragged edge of ad
versity.
People ought to stop to think
about these things. It is an im
portant matter. It is their own
good that is involved—the welfare
and progress bf their community;
therefore bf themselves indivlds
ually.
A local H'ewBjiaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. It
fit ay be that the dally papetn. with
their larger lifewS se'fviiib ftiitl
quicker facilities’, may ha lb dVer-
sha'd'bwed 'tH'e Weeklies; bii't the

that the dallied can never fill. If

Nigger Up, Nigger Down.
An old-time sport at the Hoff
man House tells a story that re
cords how Jake Hess, formerly a
police commissioner — and for
many years a commissioner of
some sort in this tpwn once did
Edward Gilmore, who owns (lie
Academy of M usio.
“From lack of other excite
ment," lie told a New York Sun
man recently, “Jake and Eddie
used to sit up at the open windows
•if the old Ilnnmwick ufter (fin-
had lunched nicely and well, and
bet on any old thing that came
along. Sometimes it would be
$20 or $50 on which bird in a Hock
of street pigeons would fiy first,
after lighting for ‘grub.’ Hut
much oftener they’d stake a five-
dollar note on which way the first
black man would pass the hotel.
One aftei'iiCOn Jake would take
nigger up for his, and Ed would
have nigger down. Generally they
broke about even.
“One day Jake's colored cook
asked him if she could have the
next day oft'. Her mother was
dead and the funeral was set for
the next day. Jake gave her $50
toward the funeral expenses, and
told her she might take two days
off. Then he said :
“ ‘Now, Annie, 1 am very much
interested in your folks, and !’d
like to see the funeral, but I can’t
get away from business. As the
funeral is going across the Long
Island ferry at Thirty fourth
street, suppose you have it drive
up Fifth avenue to Thirty-fourth
street. My business is at the
Brunswick Hotel. If you do that
I can see what kind of a, funeral
your mammy has.’
“The cook was delighted with
the suggestion, and with $50.
That afternoon Jake picked nigger
up for his. He and Ed. wore sit
ting at one of the big windows en
joying the’? cigars after lunch
when the funeral came in sight.
Jake almost swallowed his cigar
when he saw the look that came
on Ed's face. There were three
hundred niggers in that funeral
procession. Gilmore pleaded that
a game lmd been played on him,
and they compromised oh fifty
niggers, or $250.”
Why Is It Thus.
During revivals, some people
| seem vei’y anxious for sinners to
! he converted. They labor day
1 ilnd' night tb this end. They
leavn lm stone unturned. They
iliilke petsonal appeals and use all
methods regarded as prudent and
sometimes, we fear go beyond the
limits of prudence, to bring sin
ners under the influence of the
meeting. Their interest is so in
tense, that they will almost go

A Word for Dad.
\Vo happened in a home the
other night, and oyer the parlor
door saw the legend worked in let
ters of red. “What is a home
without a “mother ?” Across the
room was another brief, “God
bless our home.”
Now, what’s the matter with
“God bless our dud?” He gets up
early, lights the fire, boils an egg,
grabs his dinner pail and wipes off
the dew of the dawn with his boots
while many a mother is sleeping.
• He makes the weekly hand-out for
j the butcher, the grocer, the milk
I and baker, and his little pile is
I badly worn before lie has been
homo an hour. He stands off the
bailiff and keeps the rent paid up.
If there asiioiac during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go down stairs to find the burg
lar and kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but dad buys the socks
in the first place, and the needles
and the yarn afterwards. Mother
does no the fruit; well, but dad
buys it all, and jars and sugar cost
like iuu mischief.
Dad buys chicken for the SurH
day dinner, carves them bimsclf
and craws the neck from the ruins
after every one cise is served.
“What is home without a moth
er?” Yes, that is all right; but
“what is a home without a fath
er?” Ten ehnnccs to one it is a
boarding house, father is under a
slab, and the landlady is the
widow. Dud, here’s to you;
you've got your faults—you may
have many of’em—but we will miss
you when you’re gone.
To the above may bo properly
added the question of a kinder
garten teacher to her class—
“What animal supplies you with
food and leather for your shoes?”
and the reply of a bright little boy
— “Father,” — Stephens county

The Right Sort of Talk.
The following clipping taken
from tho Schley County News
should be read and carefully con
sidered by eyery farmer in Goor-
gia:
“This thing of letting another
section of the country feed the
southern people, who would starve
to death if the railroad communi
cation with the west was cut off,
seems curious and lilimiturul.
Some of the Georgia towns have
been complainingof meat famines
during the past few days, owing
to the delay iu getting meat
through from Kansas City and
other western points. It is an
unnatural state of affairs. True
the south clothes the rest of the
world, but with such a fine cli-
jyopv -11111 siu’li good land it should
! also ttvfi Itself.”
