Col. James M. Smith, of Ogle

Georgia to plant less cotton and

The appointment of John I Hall,

were aware that he was under con

secetary of the interior. The ap
pointment. however, gives very gen
eral satisfact’on. The position pays
$5,000 a year and requires a lawyer
of great ability to fill it. Naturally
therefore, Mr. Hall’s appointment
is considered an extremely proper
one.—A lanta Journal.

ON THE GO.
On Thursday ol last week we laid
down the cares of a newspajier of
fice and in company with two little
daughters we took upon ourselves
the wings of the morning and flew
away for a lew days swing around
atxfong the mountains o! north Al
abama. We reached the beautiful
city of Attalla, nestiirg at the feet
of Lookout and Sand Mountains
which is a thriving little city of
well to do and enterprising citizens.
We took the train early Friday
morning for the new town ol Boaz.
Two years ago this section wa9 a
ho*ling wilderness but since the
magic touch of steel rails and shrill
notes of the steam engine has been
beard a beautiful little town of sev
eral hundred people with near a
dozen live business houses has
been quickly established. This
was the ho i e of Mr. William
Sparks once of Goody’s district in
this county and the town has been
built on his premises. Several of
his family are yet living on and
owning good property in the place.
Through the kindness ol Mr. Ma
rion Sparks we secured a good
horse and buggy and drove out
four miles to F enton, the home of
Mr, W. D. Thomas, and were proud
to meet a sister and her interesting
family whom we had not seen in
eight years. For three days w r e
swept around over the country,
viewing the pretty woodlands, fine
farms etc. We also made a tnp to
Albertville which is the largest
town in that seetiou and will, like
Boaz, some day be a fine business
point. New houses of almost every
description are going up on every
side and signs of push and energy
are everywhere to be seen, The
people all over the mountain seem
to be doing well and are opening
good farms, building good dwellings
etc.
Monday morning we boarded
the TANARUS, &C. train at Boaz and at
8:38 at night w*e were again ai
our beloved Jackson, happy over
a trip of much pleasure and inter

~HOUSE AND HOME.
O '-"fully Selected Matter i-yr
the Domestic Circle
M .-a. Kendal’s Opinion of Ameri
can Women —The Victims of
Household Cares —The Fashion
able Voice.
It may interest American women
to hear what Mrs. Kendal said of
them to a representative of the
Queen in London, so here it is:
In America it is the women who
manage everything, at least in re
gard to the theatres. From the
first moment that you act before
an American audience you realize
that your business is to please the
women. The women decide
whether they like you and they
decide at once. Their opinion of
you is formed from the first; it
does not change; it is final. It
is the funniest thing in the world,
but it is the women who decide
whether the men shall go to a
play or not. For instance: Sup
posing you were an American
married woman you would come
by yourself to see me at a matinee
some day. Then, if you were sat
isfied, you would go home and
you would say to your husband,
your brother and your son, ‘boys,
we will all go to the theater to
night and see Mrs. Kendal.’ But
if there were anything that you at
all disapproved of in the play or
the actors, you would say to all
the gentlemen of your household,
‘this is not a suitable piece for
you to see.’ Why! I remember
once we acted to an audience of
700 women and one man—yes, we
actually counted them—and when
that man came in the women
solemnly made way for him to
pass. How we laughed! Women
govern the world, as I have
always maintained; but nowhere
do they govern so obviously as in
America.”
May Indulge In Luncheon.
To go to bed hungry is apt to
drive sleep away altogether. Three
or four hours before bedtime a
substantial dinner or supper should
be eaten, and on going to bed
some simple food should be taken
every night by those who have an
inclination for it, and especially
by delicate persons or invalids.
Persons invariably feel drowsy
after a heavy meal, and, on the
other hand, wacefulness is often
merely an indication of hunger.
The digestive organs having fin
ished with it, the blood flows once
more to the head, bringing with it
consciousness.
The prevalent notion seem to be
that the digestive organs rest sim
ultaneously with the brain. Phy
siology doss not support this prop
osition. Innumerable cases can
unfortunately always be found of
men, women and children com
plaining of sleeplessness, solely oc
casioned by hunger, the satisfying
of which would he immediately
followed by sleep. __
