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 weeklies 'cbntind'e W fill a place that the dallied can never fill. If they keep tlie people of a com- 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 :r*i General Merchandise. DRY GOODS OK ALL KI]STD. La Senorita. SEE THAT THIS TRADE MARK NOTIONS IS BRANDED ON EVERY A SPECIALTY.

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.

Rcvillc. 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.
