McDonald of the firm of Quincey & McDonald, prominent attorneys of Douglas, was in town 'I uesday on legal business. Col. McDon ald is a good lawyer and a clever man and his visits here are always appreciated by his friends. The Total Wool Clio of 1900. The total wool clip in the United States during 1900, as estimated by Secretary North, of tlie National Association of wool manufacturers, will he 388,636,012 pounds wash ed; and unwashed 118,233,120 pounds.

The Vienna Progress will pay a reward of ten dollars in cash for evidence to convict any person of selling whiskey in Vienna, and $5 for evidence to convict any person of selling whiskey in Dooly county outside of Vienna. This offer to hold good until January, which will carry us over the holiday*.— Yes; but what we want to knsw is, where did Henry get so much sur plus case.*—Ociila Dispatch Land Case Attain Postponed. The Macon News says: In the United States court this morning Judge Speer took up the case of Norman W. Dodge vs. Sarah Gra ham suit for ownership of land in Dodge county. The case was only start'd, however, when it was de cided, to continue it on account of the absence of an important wit ness. The case is another one of the famous land cases of Dodge and Telfair counties, and about which there has been so much trouble. Need one in our Business. This from the. Savannah News suits us : “The legislature should deal lib rally with the Georgia School of Technology. It is an in stitution that is doing a great work for the material advancement and prosperity of the state. Indeed, what is wanted is another school just like it, sisuated in the south ern pail of the state. We are building mills and factoric s now and we want Georgia boys trained to take charge of them. The Same in Georgia. The Birmingham Age-Herald aays that th-re are children not more chan seven years old—little girls as a rule—in some of the fac tories in Alabama who are sum moned before daylight, driven in to the lint-filled air and there kept until after nightfall that they may earn 10 cents per day. The mill owners of Alabama have otganized to fight the emancipation of these little slaves.” The mill owners and the legislature are doing the same in Georgia. It appears that the legislature are working in favor of the mill owners whether a com bination exists or not, we cannot say. The New Court Calender, ffelow we give the court calen der of the Oconee Judicial Circuit, as changed by the the bill intro duced by representative McLennan, of this county, and which has pass ed tioth houses of the legislature, to take effect on and after January Ist, 1801, as follows: Twines, first Monday in March and September. Pulaski, second Monday in Feb ruary and August. Wilcox, fourth Monday in March and September. Irwin, second Monday in Jan uary and JulJ. Telfair, fourth Monday in Jan uary and July, Montgomery, second Monday in April and October. Dodge, fourth Monday in May and November.—Telfair Enterprise. Rust Proof seed oats 6octs. per bushel at Gaskin & Davis. J A Modest Request- Vienna Progress: “Secretary Long asks for only some .$87,000, 000 for the navy this year. lie saved us about $2,000,000 on ar mor plate, but that is no reason why he should take the entire treas ury surplus.” Well, sir, we should like to know why it isn’t? “To the victors belong spoils,” and if he doesnt need it to build ships his vest pocket may need lining. Paid too Much Campaign Funds. Vienna Progress: “The ship yards of the United States are crowded to their utmost capacity and are working overtime, and yet they cannot supply the' demand for new ships. Yet the ship buildt ers are clamoring for government aid to save them from bankruptcy.” And Willie and his comrades will save them, already; Mr. Long has made a move in that direction. Been showing His Bride. v *fiyne County News: “E. J. Barber and bride of Douglas have been visiting friends in this community, they returned home Tuesday accompanied by their beautiful and accomplished daugh ter, Miss Nellie.” Yes, they ar rived in due time, and we’re glad you sent ’em back before time to milk the cows and feed the hogs. Lady Election Holder. A telegram from Buena Vista, Ga., says: “The county commis sioners here are confronted with rather a novel question. At one of the precincts in the county at the presidential election a lady act ed as one of the managers, and has sent in her hill as such. And they are questioning what to do. She was a freeholder, and the law de claring that the election must be held by freeholders, ordinaries or justices of the peace, it would seem to be a doubtful question. McKinley's Cifars. It is said that during the fourteen years which President McKinley spent in Congress he purchased and smoked 37,000 cigars. While this is a very large number, it represents an average of hut seven a day, which is no more than a great many men smoke. During his service in Congress the President always bought his cigars by the box, but left the box at the stand where his purchases were made, and called for them as he needed them. Energy and Breath Wasted. Wm. Robert Moore, of Mem phis, Tenn., has addressed an open letter to the young men and boys of the south, asking them to join the- republican party. Wm. Robert also encloses a circular with a double column portrait of himself and a copy of a write up (possibly a paid one) from the Memphis So , ial Graphic, of February 17th, iSocj. The circular goes on to show that Moore was a whig but voted for Lincoln in 1861. Of course, the circular does say so, but this one act, not counting the fact that Win. Robert boasts that he has voted for every republican candidate since, stamps him as a traitor of the south and a person whose advice is worthless. Peck's Bad Boy Crown Up. The Breeze has received notice that Pecks Bad Boy, who used to be so amusing to us in our days of couth, is now grown up, and will wfite for the comic page of the I New York World. The Augusta I Chroncle says of this announce-J I ment : “The many friends of Peck’s ' Bad Boy will be glad to learn that 1 ! his distinguished author. ev-Gov- ■ ernor George W. Peck, of Wiscon sin, is again about to enter the field of active journalism, and to intro duce to the reading world “Peck’s Bad Boy Grown Up.” If the ge nial humorist can make grown-up lVck as entertaining as the ‘bad boy,’ there is a treat in store for the public.” To Stop Trusts. Georgia’s juniorsenator, Hon. A. S. Clay, has introduced a bill in the senate, which if passed will break up practically every trust. The plan by which Senator Clav proposes to kill these dydra-head ed monsters is to place the free list all articles of merchandise and wares controlled by combinations of trusts. This is good democrat ic doctrineand it is not all certain that toe republicans will allow the bill to become a law. Senator Clay has started out, however, on the right line, and be will either do the country a good service by passing ithe bill, or prove to the world that the biggest hypocrites that ever lived tlie republican party. Senator Clay has also introduced another meritorious bill, being one one to re-pay claimants cotton taxes illegally collected. 0 J Georgia's junior senator is meas uring up well with the statesmen i of the country. 1 f BIG SHOW AT NIOHOLLS! q.

THE U LMER WAGON, ONE HORSE, $31.00 J.P.ULMER, WAYCROSS, GA. Leaviue Nebraska for the South. Eastman Times : “A man and a woman with their only child pass ed through town Tuesday going to South Alabama or North Florida hunting good farming lands. Their only company were another man and his wife with eight children, two wagons, a bnggy, three bicy cles and three dogs. The two fam ilies came from Nebraska to mid dle Georgia four years ago and are now looking for a soil more con genial. When asked how this weather compared with weather in Nebraska, they said the severest cold here was only an autumn breeze in Nebraska, but that they suffer ed more from cold indoors here, because the houses in the south are built of thin wood and not double lined with ceiling paper like they are in the north. One man with a 'numerous turn of mind said he had heard of but one man dying in Ne braska during the last four years, ■m'. that was William Bryan. And ihe dogs inarched off under the \yagons towards Drayton.” We learn from the Kentucky ex changes that some of the Republi can postmasters are to be removed to make room for Democratic ap pointees. The Democrats who ac cept such positions will be con sidered “bought.” A republican Justice of the Peace was elected at Dupont, Clinch coun ty at the election on the first Satur day. A democrat and a populist w ere also elected constables . .V carload of insane soldiers from the Phillippines is on its way to Washington.—When these arrive Mr. Mack, send out more recruits. We havn’t enough fools yet. Lands In Dooly county are worth $8 to $lO per acre more now than the same lands were worth a year ago, according to Judge Henderson of Vienna. That shows what Soutli Georgia is doing.—Savannah News. for WomenX) y Are you completely exhausted? Do you suffer every month?
