Temperance In the Month.;
;
Tho'cottiit-ry was surprised eime\
what recently by tho statement
llmt New York hns 8,000 saloons
more than the whole South. The
South is tho most temperate sec¬
tion of the country, if the lower
(Class otf negroes be eliminated; t
mid the tesnpewMioe movement is I
unquestionably stronger in tho
southern states than elsewhere.
The Now Voice, a temperance
organ, giv-os the following sum¬
mary of th« liquor regulation in
six of the southern states:
Texas—One hundred and thirty
seven counties have total prohi¬
bition; sixty-two counties have
partial prohibition, nnd forty-six
counties have unrestricted salo of
liquors.
Ten nesses-Oqt of 6,500 cities
pud towns in the stato only eight
have unrestricted salo of liquors.
In only twelves of, tho ninety-six
counties can liquor bp legally
sold.
Kentucky—Forty-seven /Boun¬
ties have total prohibition; fifty-
fopr have partial prohibition, and
eighteen have unrestricted salo of
liquors.
Arkansasr—Forty-four counties
Rave total prohibition; two coun¬
ties have partial prohibition and
twenty-nine have unrestricted
sale of liquors.
Mississippi—Si?ty-flye counties
out of eeyenty-fiye have prohibi¬
tion, and out of 200 legislators all
Rat a dozen or less have signified
their approval of a referendum
for state prohibition.
Georgia—Ono hundred and
three counties out ,.f 187 have
prohibition.
In this connection ibis interest- j
jug to note Ijiut the South is ten-
Ring towards stricter regulation
nf the whiskey trufjlc and New
England states are reversing the
prohibition potjry of half a cejitu-
pst ry. to It observe is that Tennessee r- inter-j and '
Keut Icy, tiie homes of famous)
distiiieiies, »re exceeding etriug- j
«nt in their temperance laws.—

Gray School Opening.
The full term of the Gray school
opened last Monday with Prof. C.
C. Childs ns principal. In addi-
tion to the regular patronage of
the school many students from
different sections of the county
were enrolled. The roi 1 continues
to grow larger daily and the out-
look for a large enrollment and
prosperous school term is encour¬
aging.
Prof. Childs is one of the most
thoroughly equipped educators in
the state and under his care
the school will bo a success.
Students from a distance who
desire to enter school can secure
board at reasonable rates and near
the school.
Those who liavo in charge the
building of a larger school house
are pushing the movement vigor¬
ously and will doubtless have suf¬
ficient funds in a short while.

The good books tell me Hint
there is a time for nil things. So
after I had staved nt home and
waited on the sick until I was no
longer needed I felt that it was
time to rest. I longed to become
a tireless traveler until I could
i'nount some plateau where I could
' breathe more freely. After decid¬
ing which course to take I board¬
ed the north bound train and in
a few hours reached the Capital
City where I concluded I had
reached a plateau high enough
to inhale the mountain air and
drink the health-giving water of
Ponce De Leon. With a good
brother and auntie to chaperone I
could also visit Lakewood at night
and listen to the Bweot strains of
music while watching those who
reveled in dancing: for I thought
it will to rest the mind.
I found itveiy pleasant to watch
so many duncers and came near
forgetting myself when accused of
bting a wall flower, but when I
told them that I was only a Lily
from the valley I was readily ex¬
cused, My pleasures continued
after I left the city by bringing
with me two charming young la¬
dies in the persons of Miss Jessie
Callaway and Miss Vivian Wood.
These entertaining young ladies
have added greutly to the attrac¬
tions of Popes for the past two
weeks and many regret that Miss
Callaway will return to her home
in a few days. Many kind wishes
will follow her and she will leave
behind a ray of sunshine that will
last as long as time.
Already the summer has passed
and September’s wild winds are
soon to wrestle with tha forest like
Jacob of old with the angels. The
prophetic bees have hoarded their
honey, the air is filled with a
magical light, while tho poplars
and maples are being robed in rus¬
set and scarlet, adorning the do-
parting summer in mantles and
jewels.
Four more months will bring
back Yuletide with its festive
days and it would be well not to
pond the intervening days as did
the discontented Prince Raselas,
but rather tike tho birds that
built their nests in the scales of
the balance of justice with no fear
of the sword that hung m the sun¬
shine above them.
Messrs. John Smith nnd Harry
Evans of Monroe called at River-
view Sunday to see Misses Wood
and Cullaivny'.
Miss Louise Jhonson and Miss
Lois Finney of Holton returned
home Monday after spending sev¬
eral days with friends and rela¬
tives in Jones.
Quite a crowd of visitors came
to witness the game of ball at
Popes Saturday. Holton and Ju¬
liette played.' Juliette wns defeat¬

ST. LOUIS WORLD’S FAIR A8
THE GUEST8 OF THE rV
iv i. JOURNAL.
Po you want to attend the World's fair?
From the immense number of estimates
betni? received each day to The Journal’s
content, one would naturally conclude
that the jamiwer of every Individual
would be in the affirmative. AH are nat¬
urally very anxious to go, but some hre
unable. The Journal has come to their
rescue. Forty people are going to the
great exposition as Its guests.
Win you be one of the forty?
In occordance with its past spirit of
liberality, on May 10th, The Journal an¬
nounced for the first time that 40 free
trips to the St. Louie World’s fair, each
consisting of a first-class ticket from At¬
lanta to St. Louis and return and $60 for
expenses, would be given to this number
of Its subscribers. 20 of these trips to its
subscribers in Atlanta and Fulton county
%n<J 20 outside of Fulton county.
It is not necessary to pay in advance to
be entitled to estimate in this contest.
Each subscriber who hns paid in advance
is entitled to as many estimates as tho
length of time subscription is paid in ad¬
vance from May A ©th- The first 40 near¬
est correct estimates will receive these
free trips. It is therefore important that
you send in your estimate at once. Be
sure you have the c^rrief *|gn the cou¬
pon each time you pay him 10 or 12 cent*.

the paper Is received by mail, and you
send ip your renewal don't forget to send
in estimates.
The contest closes at midnight April t,
1«>4, and the gates will open May 1st.

as the first 40 nearest correct estimates
will receive the trips. It costs absolutely
nothing to enter the 'contest. Estimates
