It is oiilv once in h great while that a modern painter gives us a Mother and child that has the sentiment and pathos of tlie painting by Earl Stet son Crawford that appears as the cover of tiio September number of the Womans Homk Companion. This r - markable painting was chosen as the first prize from over five thousand canvasses submitted in the recent prize cover contest conducted by the Womans Homk Companion, and rep resents the highest achievement in magazine-cover work that lias yet a: - peared. Mr. Crawford, the artist, is a pupil of Houguereau, de Chavannes and \V histlcr. and is the winner of liiua first pr:/,ss 10 ar: contests al ready. He received $1,500 fer this painting, the largest amount ever paid for a magazine cover. Asks a Good Goal.' “How about the rent of this house f yours. Flitter?

It was clearly demonstrated at the Mass meeting Saturday, that the pro moters of the Middle Georgia Inter Urban Rail road are in earnest and mean to build the road as early and as rapidly as possible. The person el of the company is composed of old rail road rnen and civil engineers, all of them men who are posted as to the eoormoua expenditures that will b“ necessary before such an undertaking can bo completed. On the other h vnd it is gratifying to note the real interest and enthusiasm manifested, and the hearty co-operation that the people of Butts County will extend ro the company. There was nothing said or done that will be mroe salutary than the statements of Messrs T. E. Redman J A. Pittman and J. C. Jones to the effect that although the road might go through their fairest acres, yet tney would douate the right of way cheerfully to encourage the building of the road. Such a spirit if manifes ted a;l along the way will go far to wards making the road a certainty, and there is not the shadow of a doubt that the value of Property will be enhanded many tines more tin n the narrow strip will be worth. Now let every body get together in a spirit of co-operation and do every thing in human power to has ten the time when we can hear the cars go whizz' ng by. HOT SHOT Tom and Jerky. f I Who is it in Butts County that can't today sing, rejoice and be tx ceediogly hupp> ? Our fondest an 1 sweetest hopes have been realized. THANK God for the banishment of liquor from our bt loved siaie of Georgia. I can't, think of it without sheding 11 ars of joy. My boys and my neighbors are to grow no without the open liquor simp to Mure and intice them to clogreda t.ion and ruin. Some say it will no' prohibit drinking, but wo are sure t hat thousands and tens of thousands of our young boys will not uequire the Imbit of drink when we close up the places where they can resort to aid drink socially. Social drinking is peculiarly ‘a southern habit. With the warm handed and golden hearted citizenry of the South we have drifted into that, dangerous hab it of socially drinking. With the bar-rooms closed we can and will soon drift out of this very evil custom so prevalent in our midst. If the closing of the grog shops in our state will save only one soul will we not. be more than fully rewarded for the step taken towards the tem perencegoai? Many good men have been turned, by the use of strong drink, from loving husbands and af fectionate fathers into veritable de- mons. The poor laboring man has often .received his weekly wages and with a light heart started for home with the sane, but lie f*ll in with “the boys’ a - the open saloon to drink a social glass and eve the night was half gor e he hud drunk to drunk"ess and to a wife and children at home, anxiously awaiting his coming, ho went peniv- l j ss and poor. His children are male to suffer for the want of the ; c tual necessities of life and often I e raises a murderous hand against them when if he was not under the influ ence of drink his home would be a place of joy and happiness. The noble W. T. 0. U. of Georgia should not stop the hgnt with the present law enacted. Tom and Jerry offers his services without cost to stump the State for the changing of our constitution and make Georgia a dry StateConstitutionaily. This is the way to put the question at rest f rrever. Good bye old Man John Barleycorn. Many are the furrowed cheeks and broken hearts you have made in Geor gia.

When former Minister Wu Ting Fang left tills country he was accompanied by an extensive retinue and attended to the steamer by a delegation of lo cal Chinese merchants. The customs officials, who then were also immigra tion inspectors, carefully took the names und count of the local Chinese as they went on board. This precau tion v.as to prevent some dvportod or otherwise not welcome Celestial from effecting u lauding by joining the mer chants as they came ashore after tak ing a ceremonious farewell of their dis tinguished countrymau. Half an hour or so ni*ter Wu and his friends had gone on board one of Vt'u’s secretaries arrived on the dock and was hurrying up the gangplank when a customs in spector seized him by the arm and pulled him hack on the wharf. “Washamaila you, John? 1 no tukee name, you no can come back. Who you belong?’’ said tlie inspector, smil ing at some girls with whom he hr*] been talking. The Chinese shook loose the inspect or's hold on the loose sleeve of his fill, role and wi*h quiet dignity re marked: "This violence is unnecessary, sir. and ray name is a matter of no inter est to you. I am a member of hie excellency's suit. I 90 on board this steamer to leave this country never again, I hope, to return.” That customs inspector Is still on the force, hut never since has he tried to be funny with a Chinese gentleman. —Sa* Francisco Call.

One day Marjorie, aged three, wanted to play doctor with her sister. Marjo rie was to be the “doctor” and she came to make a call on her sister, who made believe she was sick. “Do you want to know what you’ve got?” the doctor asked after a critical examina tion. “Yes,” faintly assented the sick woman. “You’ve got dirty hands," said Marjorie, dropping in disgust the wrist on which she had been feeling the pulse.—BuiTdlo Commercial. Experience. It was Sunday afternoon and the in fant class teacher was trying to im press the children with the beauties of the garden of Eden. “But, chil dren," she said, “there was one thing, in the garden that Adam and Eve-; might not touch.” { “I know,” said a little boy who had: evidently had some previous knowl-* edge of beautiful gardens; “it was poi- 1 son ivy.”—Harper’s.
