Interesting Mass Meet

An enthusiastic mass meeting w: s
Yield at the opera house last Thurs
day, Oct. 27th, for the purpose of
sirganizing a business league and
discussing plans for building a new
T&ilmad. Dr. .1. B. Peacock was
elected temporary chairman aud
T. 1,. Bailey, temporary secretary.
Some very interesting talks were
made and every one yresent seemed
to lie heartily in favor of the move
ment. Next Thursday, Nov. 3rd,
was selected for the next meeting to
perfect a permanent organizatior .
J. H. Mullis, Jr., Leo 11. Brown
ing, and T. L. Bailey were appoin
ted to draft a cous iti.tion and by
laws. We feel sure our people are
going to respond as one man to this
call for civic improvement and new
industrial life for our city and sur
rounding country.
It is squarely up to the people to
make a prosperous city oui ol'Coch

lieve that this southland is the pro

“flow with milk and honey.” We
liave not yet come into our own.
Our rightful inheritance has been
denied us thus far. For a time a

We have been bulleted about by cir
cumstances that have retarded oui
prosperity. The manacles of sla
very have hound us hand and loot,
and, while holding the black mai

Christian civilization, it is appalling
to think of the awful penalty we
have paid: 1 years of civil war and
reconstruction, years of intea al
strife, “the whiteninirs burden,” a
dark, threatening cloud constantly
hanging over us, a great question
staring its in the face tlial las
I milled the wisest of men and still
remains unsolved: and yet this is
surely Cod's country; for the skies
are bluer, the sun shines brighter,
the birds sing sweeter, the flowers
are prettier; and we have just a sus
picion that the heart heats warmer
and the women are more beautiful
than anywhere else upon the face
of the earth, and this whole count ry
is being aroused as never before and
realizing the fact that behind every
cloud is a silver lining.
Mr. Otto Paul, Milwaukee, Wis.

Judge John H.
Martin honored
At the recent reunion of the eon-
Confe crate Veterans at Columbus
o'.r o-;‘e med citizen, ’ Judge John
11. Martin, was chosen as division
C mmiander f!«r tire State of Go<>r
gia. We know of no one upon
whom this honor could have rested
more gracefully. The Judge is a
gentleman of the old school repre
senting the highest type of Southern
manhood and is a man of more
than ordinary ability. He has a
remarkable memory, bright mind,
and is possessed of stores of accurate
information in regard to the late
unpleasantness, which was derived
from personal experience.
Hi* faced the enemy with unsur
passed courage throughout the en
tire four years of the war receiving
a severe wound through the neck
while leading his company at tin
battle of Gettysburg. The Judge
was in the thick of the tight at this
memorable bloody battle and war
in arm’s length of General Hoist
when they brought him off the battle
licit! with his leg shot and heard
the surgeon tell him that it would
have to be amputated and asked him
if lie could -"tiiiKi it. "Stand it! 5
he replied, “if anybody on earth
can, I can and will live to light
them again.”
Our country is made up of just
such men as Judge Martin and Gen
eral Hood. The young men are to
the manor horn and that is one rea
son why our country is destined to
become the garden spot of tin
world.

Murder Revealed by a Dream.
Perhaps the most amazing crime
mystery ever solved by a dream was
that revealed by a murder trial a
couple of generations ago. The dead
body of Sir. Norway, an inoffensive
Cornish gentleman, bad been found by
the roadside between Wadebridge aud
Bodmin, brutally murdered. No trace
of the murderer could be fuiind, and
the mystery of the crime seemed be
yond all solutioft. when Mr. Norway’s
brother, a naval officer, arrived in Eng
land and told the following singular
story:
On the very night of his brother’s
murder, when he was on his ship in
the West Indies, he saw him in a
dream walking nlong the Bodmin road,
when from a dark recess In the hedge
two ruffians sprang out, slew and
robbed him aud then made their way
to a house in Wadebridge, which he
saw vividly in his dream. To this
bonse he conducted the police officers,
and there he found the very two men
whom in his vision he bad seen com
mit the murder. They confessed and
suffered the extreme penalty of the
law.—Pearson's Weekly.

Practicable Tie Macia of RIO 3 Which
Slides on Upright Post.
Many systems have been tried for
fastening cows to secure sanitary
milk. Ties rigid end swinging stanch
ions. staffs and the o;x*u shed system
liave been resorted to and are still
being used. The method of fastening
dairy cows which best meets the de
mands of the dairy and ptue food laws
is the stall. Stalls are of many dif
ferent types, but to be sanitary they
must be constructed so that the cow
will be comfortable and at the same
time not he forced to lie down in her
own filth.
The cow's health should l>e consid

tenlng. It Is undesirable to place
cows in rigid stanchions since they do
not have the freedom of their heads
obtainable In a stall. Compelling a
cow to lie In a cramped position is not
conducive to a desirable gentle dispo
sition. A stall which most nearly ap
proaches perfection is one in which the
cow is permitted to have the same
freedom she has when lying in the
field or paddock. This h.-ight of per
fection is difficult to obtain.
The simple chain tie shown in the
illustration, which hits long been used,
is more Iminaqe than the rigid stanch
ion. The chain here zhowu is attach
ed to a ring which slides on the up
right post and is fastened around the
cow’s neck with a toggle link.—lowa

Using City Manure.
Docs it pay to use manure at the
rate of forty-five or fifty tons per acre':
This depends largely on the cost of
manure. In many instances.the cost of
hauling far exceeds the first cost of
the manure. Some of the manure used
near the large cities is had for the
hauling, while it is the exception, rath
er than the rule, that it costs more
than n 0 cents a ton. At this price or
loss a grower can well afford to make
rather long hauls and to use the ma
nure freely, especially for such crops
ns lettuce, celery, onions and other
crops grown by Intensive methods. —

The Hum of the Hive.
Every progressive beekeeper sepa
rates the light colored clover honey
from tin? dark fall honey.
A grove 011 the north of an apiary
helps to insure successful wintering.
The trees break to a great extent the
force of the winter's wind.
The old eight frame hive is largely
a thing of the past, the ten frame hive
having taken its place, lmt a twelve
frame hive would be even better.
Never extract honey before at least
two-thirds of the c-oinb is sealed or
capped over: otherwise the honey is
not ripe enough aud will ferment.
The best way to strain honey is to
extract it. Strained honey is never
satisfactory, mixed as it always is
with pollen aud often with dead bees
and blood.
The Italian bee is at present the
most popular because of its ability
to work and its comparative mild
ness of temper. It is quieter than the
black bee, which formerly was the fa
vorite.
As soon as the comb honey is re
moved from tlie hives it is best to
scrape the propolis or bee glue from
the section boxes at once, and nothing
is better for this purpose than a sharp
butthcr knife, but car-' must be taken
not to gash the surface of the combs.
Still will the seeds, though chosen
with toilsome pains.
Degenerate if man’s industrious
hand
Cull not each year the largest and
the best.

Our Friendships.
Our friendships hurry to short and
poor conclusions because we have
made them a texture of wine and
dreams instead of the tough fiber of
the human heart. The laws of friend
ship are great, austere and eternal—of
one web with the laws,of morals and
of nature.— Goethe.
A Philosopher.

a light heart -when he has a light
pocketbook.—Exchange.
Nature’s Ways.
Nature turns over a new leaf in the
spring, but in the fall she always
paints things red.—Philadelphia Rec

Diligence, above all, is the mother of
good luck.—Smiles.
Shaking~~Hands,
Few people know bow to shake
hands well. The general run of folk
either give a limp paw and allow it to
be shaken or else grasp yours In theirs
and nearly dislocate it with their vio
lence.—London World.
