Her “Dotted Swiss ”
This little story , from life is
ing tho rounds of the new*-
papers: A pretty dniii (y
girl at one of the summer reserts
h»d been notably neglected by
mon. The reason for it is
many of the voting men who fre-
quent the resort arc dry goods
clerks and suit salesmen who can
tdlata glance what a gown ii
worth. The dress worn by this
baiulsomo “dotted bw iss, girl, costing, hut Rest pci haps, is a
at a bargain sale, nineteen cents a
yard. And worst of all, as reveal-
“I O '' x i M ,l
appraisers, the dress was evident-
ly made by liersell ! llmgul looks
very sweet in simple gown, but—
You see, these fellows are look-
ing for the daughters of rich men.
And their experienced eyes tell
them this girl works for a living
and must use economy to get her
vacutiou.
You need not pity the girl be¬
cause she is a wall flower. She
lias doubtless sized up the clerks
und salesmen while they have b< e 1
invoicing her clothes. Tho girl
who lins the souse to suit hoi
wardrobe to her purse cares very
little for the fortune hunters who
ignore her. She knows there are
others.
Tho average man who docs not
deal in the commodities kno«i-
very little about clothes. In a gen¬
eral way he knows .vliether a girl
looks pretty when she is dressed
and that is all. More than that.
Every real man who is looking for
n wife will l ave a high opinion of
the dainty maiden who is able In¬
got herself up attractively on a
very little money. So, don’t cry
little gill, if you can’t afford ex-
pensive gowns iMun—real men—
don’t want to marry clothes.—

Dr. Mum ford 8 Daath.
With (lie passing of the Rev.
\V. K. Muni ford, Macon loses one
of her noblest and most useful
citizens. And the losjs will full,
not only on macon, but on Geor¬
gia and on the whole world; for
there are not many golden-hearted
men who are willing and ready to
put self aside und devote their
lives to others. For five years Dr.
Mumfoid has been especial! active
in tho interest of the Georgia In¬
dustrial Home in Yineville when
one hundred and fifty little cues
gathered from the highways and
by «■ ay’s of the state are mourning
with a deep and sincere grief, the
deatli of their benefactor. For fif¬
teen years or more, he lias been
connected with different orphan-
ages and charitable} institutions.
And for almost fifty years, he
bus helped all with whom he came
in contact, by giving to each and
everyone a sincere intorest and a
kindly consideration where noth¬
ing else was needed, and more
substantial though often not less
helpful charity in tho form of
money and material comforts,
where these were lacking.
Dr. Mum ford was one of those
nif u born with the milk of human
kindness in the heart, and bisen-
lire life was devoted to niakiiij.
other people happier. Although
ha has done most fur the poor anti
the orphaned, he has dispensed
a glad cheer and furnished n no
Me example for uil who have ever
known him. These, together
with the littleoues who have do-
pended mi him fur material and
spiritual comfort, will miss 1)L
aid and will sinoereiy deplore hit*
death.

An interesting case was fried
| )fc f ore Bower on Monday
morning, and one that will srrvu
j as a lesson to the ti’groos in
as well as oilier sections.
Tho utFuir was u peculiar one,
hearing us it does upon tho labor
'question of the North and South.
I It seems that a negro, Morgan
MoGriff, having heard of the
strikes in Chicaga and other
t?9, concluded to stir up something
similar down here. One day
week lie journeyed down to
j plantation and endeavoied to in*
'cite the employees of that place
to strike lor (tighter wages, ii'’
created quite n good deal of ex-
! citement and talk, but
Iy Ins efforts resulted , 111 nothing , .
serious—except to himself.
'1 he lalmrors al tin's farm re-
ceiv0 good pay and are •atisfied
with conditions, and one* and al!
refused to stike. The would be
striker became enraged and fell
upon an old negro and
, u ,d bruised him tip considerably,
1 As soon as the news was spread,
an officer was sent to arrest the
| troublesome negro, .ut he resist;
j ed the law very toictl ly and was
j with difficulty arrosted. He was
brought 1 “1 and tried by Judge
U'.Wfl' f'JC fissiiult nml liutlury ami
| or resisting an officer. He
found guilty tin both charges, and
Judge Bower _ sentenced him to
twelve monts on the gang or fine
of $500 for each offense, making
a total of two years on the gang
or $ 1,000
Judge Bower made a vony prac¬
tical ami interesting talk on the
case and informed the negro that
northern strike methods would
not lie tolerated in the South.
The negroes throughout this sec¬
tion would do well to profit bv
Ibis example of one who attempt¬
ed to incite labor troubles.
Tho Guatemalan Ants
Dr. Cook, the botanist of the
Department of Agriciiltnie, who
has under in vostigation the ox per
imont of introducing from (7. ate-
mala the “kelep or vermin-eat¬
ing ant with a view to staying ti e
ravages or tlio boll weevil in the
Texas cotton fields, reports com¬
plete success. “Tho ant,” he says,
“injures no form of vegetation
and takes nothing from tho cot¬
ton plant except the ueclar.se-
cretod by it on the leaves and flo¬
ral envelopes. The habits and
temperament of tho insect are
such that it is really capable of
domestication, transportation and
colonization in the cotton fields
of Texas.” If it shall lie demon¬
strated that tlio Guatemalan ant
is willing to slay in the country
and reproduce itself in numbers
sullicie it to exterminate the boll
weevil, and afterward so conduct
itself 11 s not to undo die benefit
thereby conferred, the s< rvieo ren¬
dered will he worth many millions
