Douglas, Ga. DID HIS DUTY- A True Lesson a Girl will Never Forget Last week the Breeze had an ar ticle on the dangerous habjt some young men have of handling the names of their lady acquaintances. This week we publish the follow ing, the facts of which we gain from an exchange. “There was a social gathering at :a house on one of the main streets of the town, and among those pres ent was a traveling man, fora well known wholesale house, who was a fine conversationalist, but rather quiet. A young lady present de cided that she would flirt with him. He “caught on,” and proposed to take a walk with the frisky young woman. As they rambled on he question ed her as to the location of her home, but when he asked her to take him„ in she refused, sayirg that she did not want her mother to see her with a stranger. But the traveling man insisted on going in and before she could remonstrate he had seized her arm and hurried her up the steps to the front door. An elderly lady responded to the summons. The traveling man in quired if she was the mother of the girl at his side. Receiving an affirmative reply the stranger gent ly led the girl in the hall, and turn ing to the mother, said: “Madam, vour daughter flirted with me on the streets this evening, and I have brought her home .to you. She doesn’t look like a bad girl and she is altogether too young and pretty Better quality white mercer ised waistings makes up durable and neat 15 All kind flowered Silks regu lar 50c grade 19 Finest grade Peau de Soie Silk usually sells for 1.00 59 Ladies 5c handkerchiefs 01 Great Cut Prices in Millinery. $2 $3 and $4 hats will go for 95 Little priced hats for little people to be on the street alone at night. I have a daughter of my own about her age and I would thank any man'for doing what 1 have done to-night and so would her mother. Take care of your daughter and don’t let her walk the streets at night, and teach her the evils of flirting.” The South Georgia Fair. The people of Waycross appear to be putting in an extraordinary effort, a lot of hard work to make their fifth annual Fair, November Ist, to sth, a grand success, and it looks very mnch like they are go ing to succeed. With the finest crops grown in this section in a, number of years, the agricultrial exhibit should reach the top notch. We are told that Air. J. S. Sharp, the General Superintendent, has has perfected arrangements for a first class racing programme, as well as other intertainments and sources of amusement in endless variety, and as the South Georgia Fair at Waycross, is the only Fair that will open its gates south of Alacon this season, we see no rea son why the patronage in every respect should not be all that is de sired. Now a word to our own people; we find in the premium list four splendid cash premiflms for county exhibits. No county in south Geor gia can produce finer and greater variety of field crops than Coffee, hence we insist that some of our leading farmers get busy and ar range an exhibit that will take the Douglas, Ga., August 20th, 1904. first prize. It can be arranged with very little trouble and as we are so near the Fair ground, the expense of placing a county exhibit will amount to nothing compara tively. But if each farmer waits for his neighbor, nothing will be done. Will some of our farmers give us a line on this proposition? A postal card suggestion will do. Doctor Mumford Is Dead. W. E. Mumford, founder of the Industrial Home in Macon, where homeless orphan children were cared for, is dead. And He who said “Suffer little children to come unto Me,” has ere this, assembled Heaven’s Choir and welcomed him with music from golden harps with Angel fingers touched. He sacri ficed all he had for the “litttle ones” that they might be fed and clothed. And now the bright rai ment has been put upon him and riches untold is his reward. He heard the cry of the forsaken waif and gave it home and shelter and was homeless himself. He has a mansion now and the gates are pearls and the walls are of jasper and the diadem, that all the jewels of earth cannot equal, is upon his head. On earth his ears heard only the pitiful wail of the forsaken, says the Chronicle, but now his hearing is attuned to Heaven’s sweetest strains and the melody comes from the thousand, myriad throated Choir hymned in praise and an themed in rejoicing.

The Valdosta Buggy Company. The Valdosta Buggy Company, manufacturer of High Grade Ve hicles, sold under a guarantee, is shipping buggies to Douglas by the car load, and they have men in the country who will sell them.

Judge Osteen and lady returned from St. Simons refreshed late last Sunday night. We are glad to learn that Joel Gaskin, who has been iil for some time, is reported to be improoved. Savannah will print 25,000 pamphlets descriptive of that city’s resources and advantages. The city pays $750.00 toward the work. Private individuals pay the balance. That’s the way to advertise. We learn from Air. J. R. Over man that Bro. Oxford preached to very large congregations over at Antioch church last Sunday, and that the interest in the meeting necessitated a series of protracted services.

WILL RECEIVE MORE MONEY- In the future no judge of Supe rior or supreme courts can ride up on free passes. The general assem bly has raised the salaries or the superior court judges from .$2,000 to $3,000, and the supreme court judges from $3,000 to $4,000 each. The increase in salaries is condi tioned on the non-acceptance of any judge of a free pass on any rail road in the state either for them selves or for the members of their families. If any of the judges should accept from any of the tele phone, telegraph or express com painies a frank or shall allow any member of their Anilies to do so, they will forfeit the increased pay and will lay themselves liable to impeachment. It is believed that the provision of the act denying free passes to the judiciary of the state will meet with the hearty approval of the people.—Dublin Courier. Southern Normal Institute- The Southern Normal Institute will commence the fall term on August 30th, with a fu'l and effi cient faculty.
