I was talking to a member of one
of tbe leading drug firms of the city
and he remarked that the newspaper
was working against hit interests,
because it would not publish adver
tisements for patent medicines. The
only reason for this is that the patent
medicine men won’t pay our rates for
advertising. And that it because

A monument to George Washing

eighty-seven years to produce it.
It represents Washington in the

In this day uud generation when
fakes and shams are on every hand,
it is well to bear in mind the words
of Pope when he said:
*taould ye be blest
Despise low joys, low pains,
appy for your pain.." ,
Tbe man who stoops to low joys
aud low gains is often the one who is
known bv
many as possessing every
attribute of a gentleman and of
whose life many would say, in the
words of Bacon, “Clear and round
dealing is the honour of man’s na
ture.”
This has been demonstrated time
and lime again during the post few
years in our large cities, and it is a
deplorable fact that one never knows
whom to trust, or whether to trust any
one. Several defaulting bank offi
cials whose secret methods of theft
have recently been brought to light
were of high social and business
standing and were looked upon with
favor by those with whom they were
associated. Their fall was not
strange, but their crime was not pre
meditated. They imagined they could
speculate successfully and without
any trouble repay what money they
took front that which was entrusted
for the sale of their medicines to
warrant any expenditure. Tbe health
of Tifton is phenomenal. There is
scarcely ever any sickness here and
patent medicines go begging.
When the ill health of tbe place
warrants it the remedies will be ad-
vertised, and the druggists feel better.
But that time is a long way off.

The pedestal upon which the statue
stands is seventeen feet in width by

upon a platform having thirteen steps,

The platform and pedestal are of
green and pink Swedish granite, the
former being rough and the latter
finely polished. The statue, figures,
bas-reliefs and ornaments are of
bronze.
At the four comers of the plat

Mississippi Divers, attended by
American Indians. Each fountain

There is a difference between gaiety
and real pleasure. A man may be
gay because he hasn’t sense enough
to enjoy true happiucss. Defaulting

A genial, sunny disposition in one

he may come in contact, but a gay,
flippant tiuture makes one tired.
I would not, however, take a pes
