Autumn Leaves.
Orange,'rod, and yellow
The.leaves come Hying down,
Like ghosts in hosts,
Dead on their native ground.
Soon they will Hhd their winter
heads
in snow so soft and white
To shield them from the wintry
blasts,
And the storms of winter night.

A Valuable Gift.
The library of N. G. A. College
has received, through Col. W. P.
Price, two most interesting and
valuable volumes, containing an
account, written from short hand
notes, of the trial of Aaron Burr.
These volumes were published tit
and are
was
the
law
Philadelphia in 180S
bound in half leather.
The following inscription
written in the first volume by
generous donor:
“Presented to the
N. G. A. College
By Martha M. Price,
Nov., 1003.
These volumes were in the
; library of the father of the donor
I for more than fifty years, and arc
I now rare books, out of print,
j The reference to the jurists and
j statesmen of the latter part of the
i tSth century, and founders of the
j LI. S. government, are ycry valus
| able and interesting.”
| On the fly - leaves of these hooks j
\ are written the names, “Wm. Mar
> tin” and “Bev. A. Martin.”
Gifts like this are of priceless
; yaluc to the young men of these
years, bringing them in touch with
i the former times, when great
! things were done: “for in those
1 days there were giants in the
| earth.”
1 The college wishes to make this j
I public expression of appreciation
' for so valuable a gift.

According to the annual report
of the adjutant general of the ar
my, which was made public last
week, the present strength of the
land forces of the United States is
3,081 officers and 55,500 enlisted
men, in addition to 8,257 members
of the hospital corps, the Phillip-
phie scouts and the Porto Rican
regiment. Of these 10,310 are
now in the Philippines and 13,088
in continental Alaska. The Legn-
j lion guard at Pekin consists of
four officers and 152 enlisted men.
During the year 1 lie number
killed m action and who died of
wounds or disease was 25 officers
and 837 enlisted men.
Perhaps flic most startling
figures presented were those relat>
ing to desertion. They show that
5,034 enlisted men deserted, or
nearly 10 per cent of the entire
j strength of the army. Those dis-
| charged for disibilily and by sen
j fence of court martial and by order
aggregated 971. The total enlist
ments and re enlistments during
the year wore 18,291.

We learn from parties return-
j ing from Gainesville, that one of
i the Cinciola brothers of that city
j had a trick played off on him that
I beats the gold brick swindle. A
j few nights ago a stranger stepped
| into his place of business and after
’ purchasing something pretended
: that he had lost his glass eye. The
j man was sure enough minus an
eye and they both looked about in
the room for it quite awhile. At
; last the stranger told Cinciola that
! he would give $75 for the eye and
if any one found it to send ihem
down to the hotel, and stepped
■ out. Soon afterwards auothor
■ fellow appeared, apparently dru nk
j bought something and reached
{ down and pretended that he found
| a glass eye. After looking at it
j he put it in his pocket. Cinciola
| told him that he would give him
j $45 for the glass eye, feeling con-
: fident that he could soon make
$30 if lie had it. The drunken fel
low told him all right, for he had
no use for it, The incney was
paid, the man soon left, and Cinci
ola carried the eye down to the ho
tel to turn it over to the owner,
but to his surprise found that no
such a person had been there, and
he was out just $30.
“Why didn’t you jurors raise
( the taxes of those who failed to
| return their property at its true
j value?” was asked us the other
j day. Simply because too many
j jurors are helping to “cat the
beef,” and asssossurs will have to
be appointed before any headway
is made in this direction. They
say “it is a serious thing to raise a
I man’s taxes.” So it is very se-
I rious for a man to make false re-
j turns under oath, and it would be a
i good idea' to check some of them
I now so as to save them from run-
! ning any risk of being caught

The Dalton Citizen is
Nuggist, it frankly opposes
foreign missions and takes the
ground that all efforts should he
concentrated on the heathens at
homo whose lives arc foreign to
j the teachings and influences of
l Christianity. It says: “Talk
about foreign missions! It makes
us weary. We need missionary
work right here in Dalton—the
place where, within the past few
years, four murders have occur
red, and the punishment prescrib
ed by law not meted out, and kids
scarcely out of their swaddling
clothes smoking cigarettes and
blowing their brain" away in
smoke, and minors buying and
drinking whiskey at will—surely,
surely home mission work is needs
ed.”
PRICES REASONABLE.
Boom the Town Too. CITY DIRECTORY
The government distributes
1,000 tons of. seed annually. Each
congressman has 12,500 packages
at his disposal. If you haven’t got
one, it’s because your congress
man has sent your pro rata to
some one else. However, these
seed are regarded as better vote
raisers than vegetable producers.
People who raise vegetables buy
reliable seed. — Cobb County Cou
rier.
In one year the shipment of
American apples to Europe lias
tripled. Since September last tho
exports have been 1,008,000 bar
rels to Liverpool, 274,000 to Lon
don, 97,000 to Hamburg and 5S,-.
000 to other European ports.
American apple growers have
conquered a big foreign market
and are holding it against any
thing but prohibitory laws.
A hospital to cost seventy-five
thousand dollars is to be erected in
Chicago, the physicians of which
must use no alcohol in their pre
scriptions. The hospital will bo
called the Frances E. Willard
National Temperance Hospital.
The three schools of practice—
regular, homeopathic and eclectic
will bo presented on the staff.
Wo have forgotten her name, but
the society woman in Washington
who has invited Booker Washing,

that city, should be sentenced to
Zulu land for the balance of her
natural life. Sho will lie taken

says the Gainesville News.

While every mo’chant is ju i
marily interested in making his
own business a success, ho should
not lose sight of the fact that any
thing which benefits the com
munity benefits him. If a mer
chants’ association succeeds in at
tracting more trade to the town it
is so much gained for all of the
merchants there. Each store
stands to benefit. Merchants
should co operato with the local
newspaper to attract more Imsi--
ness to the town.
Properly supported, the editor
and his paper can assist greatly in
attracting trade. The editor
should push the circulation of his
paper into the districts for the
trade of which his town is com
ped ing with others. Every town
in some quarter comes in compe
tition with other towns for a cer
tain amount of every desirable
trade. The town which has the
newspaper with the widest circu
lation in that district is the best
armed for that contest.—Hard
ware Trade.
The Liberty Bell.
The decision recently announced
that the Liberty bell is not to be
taken on any more junketing trips
is said to bo due largely to the in*,
Huonce of the women of Philadol
phia. They protested vigorously
against sending it about over -the
country as a course inconsistent
with its historic dignity. The pro
test was most just. • The Liberty
bell belongs in Philadelphia, where
it pealed forth its historic an
nouncement. It has about as much
meaning anywhere else as a chip
off the Bunker Hill monument in
a private cabinet. New York
Tribune.
An Editors Predicament.
An editor near Ouster, I. T.,
got a cattle show and concert mix
ed up, and now he has to keep
dark. This is the way he did it:
“The concert given by Roberson’s
most beautiful young ladies was
highly appreciated. They sang in
their charming, winning the
pluadits of the entire audience,
who pronounced them the finest
herd iff' shorthorns in the country.
A few are of a rich brown color,
but the majority are spotted brown
and white.”
