More than seventy-five boys, near¬

That is the number enrolled at
Carnesville High School.
What great possibilities lie before
these bright, manly boys !
With their coming into the Trib¬
une office the Other day, that room
gained in importance and interest.
Its four walls might have htld gov¬
ernor* president#, inventors, authors
,—those whose glorious lives would
thrill the world in the years to come.
It is not surprising that one stood
abashed in the presence of so much
possible greatness. But after awhile
l found my voice and the question:
“How many of you have never
used tobacco or coffee in any form.”
Instantly ten hands are raised^-
some of them the little dirty, chubby
hands of eight or nine year old lads,
otheis large and hardened and rcugh
onsd by toil.
As Intake down the.names of these
temperance boys and look into their
bright, happy faces,,I Yvohder how
many grown up boys and girls there
are in the world to-day who would
hot give all that the years have
brought :<Tf i money, of ^influence,
of wisdom, for just one day of that
existence when life is joycus, pul-

of unnumbered glories that tho fu>

in placid waters close to the flower
decked shore, while the mad sea that
must be breasted after a while, is
beyond the line of vision.

INOISTINCT PKIWT
WEATHER BUREAU.
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF
CULTURE.
ArtAJrtA, (?l.,Nov. iltfc 1891.
As it is probably not fully
stood how gTeat a change has been
inaugurated in the meth di and
aims jf the Weather Bureau since
it passed under the control of Prof.
Harrington and became a part of the
Department of Agriculture, the fol¬
lowing brief statement may well be
made to the public. There is special
occasion for this as Georgia has
been selected for particular effort in
the w ay of tnlarging the the work
and increasing the usefulness of the
Bureau.
A noticeable departure from old
method* is shown in the appoint¬
ment of twenty Local Forecast Of¬
ficials who are stationed at as many
important centres throughout the
country. These officials have been
dven much larger powers than were
urmerly granted to members of the
service outside of Washington,in the
natter of ^forecasting the weather
and in disseminating among the
>euple the information collected by
the Bureau’s large corps of observers
receives one of the twenty
m Mr. Park Morrill, whose office i*»
the Government Bnilding in At*
Forecasts of the weather m
will be made at Atlanta
morning for the ensuing night
the following day, giving ample
for ti eir disseininatiou through¬
the state so as to bring to inter¬
parties the latest information
as to the weather outlook
any day on the previous afters
noon.
The public has long been acquaints
with the forecasts made at Wash¬
as published in the daily
In many rural districts,how¬
the papers arrive so late that
the forecasts have lost much of
their utility. To riieet this diffictll*
and enable the agricultural and
population to receive the bene¬
of them, the Weather Bureau
proposes to tolbgraph the daity fi.re¬
free of cost, to all points in
tbu state where arrangements shall
be made by town or city authorities
bv public-spirited individuals to
give proper pub'icity to them,by the
of weather signals.
A system oi dag signals lias been
vised by means of which the fore-
C:‘ *ts caD be conveyed to the popu*
It on of a considerable district by a
single display on some prominent
flagstaff. In some sections of tile
country this system has already
been widely introduced and has met
w tli the highest approval. '1 lit*
li gs are five in number,two c m tit'u

tionindiea.e the approach of f or
weather, a general rain or sn >\v, or
jci! showers, as iho case may be,
‘a id also the changes* f lemper.iture
and the probability <ff frosts (in.t
spring autumn) and s o <1 wives in
winter, Th ■ limited fund* at the
disposal t f the Bureau render it
iit general l upossible to furnish the
b :lieir cost, same K-n or
t vohe <lo ! iars to the set, is trifling
i i view of the great benefit comma-
u ieu. will derive from accurate m-
formation a s to weather coitions.
Few perhaps,are aware what cxteD
sive machinery i i brought into action
to the data which results in
these forecasts. At 150 points scat-
tered throughout the United States
some 20 or more in Canada
observers . accuratelv accurately record record, at at ihe ine
same the imt^orological foment twice facts every which day, de- all
e rminc the weather. From each
of these points wi hm an hour a re
port is received at Wasliington.Then
all the facts thus gathered are
graphically chartered on maps of the
United States and, these form the
basis on which forecasts are
Tten the telegraph again bears the
cduclusons of the forecast official
throughout the country. On a some¬
what less elaborate scale and in a
miife localized manner the same
thing is done at the local forecast
sfai ions, such as Atlanta.
It ia the result produced by
great mechanism which is offered in
the system of forecast telegrams and
signal displays'- above

possible in general for the Bureau to
tarnish the signal Rags, yei/Ji .oirR^r

A Word From Tne Poor House
Editor Tribune—
WiU you be so kind as to publish
this letter in your paper, and ne: t
time I will tell a little more.
I am Letter than I was when I
came here. 1 came very near giving
in ; iuylast checks two or three times
since I came here. My suffering is
great, I would not be here to-day
if it had not been for my good Dr.
Tucker and my good, kind steward.
I have had a hard time of it for near*
ly three yeftr&; blit t still llope at)d
pialy to live a little while longer My
afflictions have put me here, and 1
thank God that it is as well with me
as it is. I am treated very kind here
under all circumstances. Mr. Willie
Stephenson brought ineja fiue baked
opossum ham this morning and also
a fine rabbit] ham the other day.
God will reward all such kind people.
Now is the time, I can’t help ruyself
or others. I do hope and pray to
to gel well so that I can worK again.
Aud I am encouraged by nly good
t)r. Tuekpr. I do hope to see the
Dr. again soon. We* had Parson
Ledbetter wilh us the o:Ler night
He prayed for W and talked a
while, and told us all. to do right and
trjrto get to Heaven, for there woilhi
be no poor houses in 'Heaven. So
that gave some of them great conso*
lation. I hope all den minations
will tonie and see mp. J am ju-t as

A Common beusc Opinion.
The newspaper without any advertise¬
ments, which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
wants to see, might suit the tastes of
some people, but it would be without a
very interesting feature. The idea that
the advertisements in a newspaper on?y
please the counting room unfortunately
obtains in some quarters, but to the
great mass of the people they are not
3hly "interesting but useful and in
strnctive reading. They are the shop
pers’ constant companion, the busiues
man’s guide and everybody’s instructor
A newspaper without advertising col
gums would fail to accomplish its mi»
■ion. Besides, it would be about as pool
as Job's turkey.—Boston Herald.
The TV ay to Attract.
Advertisements should be attractive.
First captivate the eye. The eye is the
feet follow the eyes. It is the untiring,
unremitted, everlasting, never take-no-
llor-an-answeR appeal to the eyes of tV
that brings trade.—Exchange.
Karncst ness.
The following extract from one of the
best stories ever written contains a
valuable suggestion for everybody, and
especially is it golden advice to every
advertiser. Be earnest Have faith in
your work. Attend to it Be honest:
I have been very fortunate in worldly
matters; many men have worked muck
harder and nUt succeeded half so'weU,
but I never could have done what I have
done without tho habits of punctuality,
order and diligence, without the deter¬
mination to concentrate myself on one
object at a time, ntr matter how quickly
its successor should* come upon its heels,
which 1 then formed. Whatever 1 have
tried to do iu life 1 have tried with all
my heart to do well; whatever 1 have
devoted myself to 1 have devoted myself
to completely. In great aims and is
I Lave always been thoroughly in
earnest. There is ncosubstitute for thor-
oughgoi ardent and sincere earnest¬
ness. Never to put one hand to anything
on which 1 could throw my whole self,
and never to affect depreciation of my
work, whatever it was, I‘ find now to
have been my golden rules.—David Cop-
perfield.

RESOLUTION- OF THANKS
In the history,y.of tho Georgia
Press Association there is no page
that glows with more pleas mt mem¬
ories than that which records the
excursion taken through the great
Northwest. With deep apprecia¬
tion of the many couitesies extend¬
ed its members on this excursion,
and cherishing the mod. pleasant rec*
ollcctions of the genial gtn'lemen
and,c mrteons corporations, who so
warmly welcomed thorn along the
way, the Georgia Press Assr.ciath n
desires to e.\pres3 its thanks and ap*
preeiation. Therefore, he <t
Resolved, 1st, That to Major W.
L. Glessner, President of the Asso*
cialivfi we-are indebted in no small
degree for the pleasure afforded us
by this delightful excursion. His
earnest labors in behalf of this body
have endeared him to all its mem¬
bers, and ho can not be too highly
praisqd for his excellent judgment
manifested in the selection of euch
a route and for bis personal coufLe-
sies to'Cach member enjoG’ig the
excursion.
2nd while the Association was in
session m Atlanta, its members wtrj
entertained in a royal manner by
those two great Southern dailies,
the Atlanta Jouvnal and the Atlanta
Constitution, whose work for the up¬
building of the sunny Southland fan
never be over estimated. The naav
courtesies, they extended to thiir
fellow journalists w r ere highly ap¬
preciated and will not be forg *Uen.
3rd To Mr- 8. M. Felton, Presi-
dent of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia system of railways Will
the association feel forever grateful
for transportation to Chicago ar.d
from Cincinnati home We recog-
u'Z iin this g-eit sy-te n o7 railways
one of the greueet fact >rs m the
upbuiJtfn g of the South, and feel
that it should be the ambition of ev-
erv citizen and newspaper t) ail in
its great work for the development
of our commercial aud i ad us* rial in*
t nests. Tnere is in our opinion no
better equipped lines of railroads in
iheSoutliorn States tlpan thoie of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and it is a master of con¬
gratulation that they sbott'd be un-
der such splendid guidance as that
rendered by President 3. M. Felton.
4 In Chicago the Association re-
c-.-ived at the hands of Col. Tlios. B
Bryan, Vice-President of the World’s
Columbian Exposition, a cordial
welcome which we remember very
pleasantly. His personal courtesies
rdded much to the pleasure of our
stay io the great Western Metropo¬
lis, and his information concerning
tho World’s Fair was received with
appreention and deep interest. We
also remember with grateful recog¬
nition the courtesies shown U3 in
Chicago by the Chicago Press Club
and Mr. S. D. Pickett, form erly from
this Sta'e.
- &thTo Col. John T. Mack, editor
of the S mdusky Register, and to
Messrs. F. II. Glcssner and T. C.
Reynold*, representing the Ohio
dnlies we are due lasting grali'ude
for their kind attention to us while
passing through the State of Ohio.
We learned with profound gratifica¬
tion that Col Mack has been doing
a noble service to all Southeruei s by
repairing the cemetery mid keeping
green the graves of the Confeder¬
ate .soldiers on historic Johnson’s
Island and especially do we trank
him iij the name of the lo3t c.iaso
and a re-united republic for this
knightly labor of love.
The entertainment received at the
hands of Catawba and Kelly’s Is-
VOLUMN XVI
land added no little to onr pleasant
visit to there interesting places, and
and we found a tour • of inspection
through the famous wine cellars of
these Islands as instructive as it
was pleasant.
7 We remember with much pleas*
ure the courtesy extended us by Mr!
Strahanan Deputy U. S Fish Com¬
missioner in the use of i govern-
ment’boat and a visit to the 'United
States fishery, and to J. II.Tillotson
proprietor of Hotel Victory, at Put*
in-Biy, for hospitable entertainment
do we feel thankful.
8 th To the hospitable citizens of
Sandusky we feel grateful for their
royal welcome and splendid enter-
tsiument.
9t,h The officers of the '‘Big Four”
route, one of Ohio’s most prosper*
ons and most popular railroads, were
polite and obliging to ns. The trip
by this route from Sandusky to Cin-
nati was no small part of the great
excursion we so much enjoyed.
10 To all towns along the route
we feel profoundly grateful for the
courtesies rendered us,$inoo it seems
at every step we met spontaneous
and heartfelt kindness.
11 We suggest that the president
of the Georgia Press Association
have the proceedings of this, the
twenty-third annual convention,
published, and ask that a copy of
these resolutions be sent to every in*
dividual and corporation that has
tendered us favors and kindne»3.

be ask* d to publish these resolutions
in token of their interest in the Geor¬

Tho advertiser in a small way often
stands aghast at the large sums of money
which certain masters of the art are
known to spend annually in bringing
their goods before tho public. Having
had experience only within his own nar¬
row circle he asks in a bewildered way
how it impossible that they can make it

profits on a single sale to be so much, he
tising expenditure. About the time he
reaches this result he gives up in despair

Hallway Men in Politic*.
Dr. Chauucey M, Dtyjew, whom many
believe to bo squinting in the direction
of the presidential nomination in 1892,
makes his appearance as an author in
The North American Review and gives
information about the railroad mail in
politics. lie says among other things
that there are iii found numbers a mill¬
ion men and voters directly employed
by the railway companies of the United
States. These constitute onqThirteentk
of the voting population of the Union.
Mr. Depew quite innocently mentions
that 75,000 of thorn vote in tho state of
{Jew York, and that 60,000 are attached
to the Vanderbilt roads alone. It w,*
only 1,047 votes in New York, it will b*
remembered, that decided the presi¬
dential election against Blaine and in
favor of Cleveland.
Mr. Depew says that now in no state
does a rail way as a corporation take part
in politics. All that went out with the
entrance of Commodore Vanderbilt into
the railway business. As to the feeling
against railroad men engaging in poli¬
tics, there never was any of it in New
England, we are told. In New York
the railroad man as a factor in politics
ia regarded just like any other private
citizen. In the west hostility to rail¬
way companies was cultivated by polit¬
ical leaders of both parties. In conse¬
quence political managers have been
afraid to place any man identified with
these on their ticket. This made th*
rank and file of the employes, the million
voters mentioned, mad, says Mr. Depew,
and if they were to bo debarred from
political honors on account of tk**r oc¬
cupation they wanted to know the re*
son why. They then took an active hand
in politics in a very quiet way them¬
selves, and the consequence waa soras
results that astonished everybody and
for which no one could account in stats
elections in the past two years. Politf*
