The three drug stores made the inrettmeut a sure thing. • • • 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 there it not enough sickness in Tifton Statue To General Washington. A monument to George Washing ton was unveiled at Philadelphia Saturday. It is the largest equestrian statue in the country and it took eighty-seven years to produce it. It represents Washington in the uniform of Oommander-in-obief of the Continental forces. A military eloak ia thrown over his shoulders and he holds the reins of bis horse in his right hand.

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. Sei.au. The Vampire. Tlie picturo which is attracting the most attention at the present arts ex hibition in London is “The Vampire” by Philip Burne-Jones.

This in tarn rests upon a platform having thirteen steps, spmbolio of the original thirteen states. 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 form are fountains, typifying the Delaware, Hudson, Potomac and Mississippi Divers, attended by American Indians.

Sometimes the desire to spend it is the greater evil The miser is not us bad a citizen us the s|veuclthrift. And if hebe a so ciety leader, the temptation is stronger aud the end more disastrous. Taylor said, “He that spends his time in sport and calls it recreation, is like him whose garment i all made of fringe, and Ins meat nothing lint sand." Spencer expresses a kindred thought in the line: ••Guy without good i* good heart’ll greatest loathing;.” The young man who endeavors to he guv, .mil spends his time ill sport of questionable character is a curse to himself,'to his family, and to his country sleeping.

A man may be gay because he hasn’t sense enough to enjoy true happiucss. Defaulting bank cashiers-ure invariably gay. A genial, sunny disposition in one is evern pleasure to those with whom he may come in contact, but a gay, flippant tiuture makes one tired. I would not, however, take a pes simistic view. There are mar.y who know how to thoroughly enjoy life in a right way and who are orna ments to society and necessary to business. There are those in society whose conversation docs not always turn to low joys and of whose society Pope could have applied tho expres sion : ' “True wit is nature to advantage dre**cd." It is to these we must look for good, and to be like these, children should be reared and taught. We need more good, sensible men, of true hearts and honest purposes. • • Host Kcmotly for Mlicmnji- tlsm. Fnlrhavpii (N. Y.) Register.

Grossing the street be was confronted bj Smith’s drag store. At the postoffioe he met following verses: A fool there wa* ami lie made hi* prayer (Even a* you ami I) To a raj; and a I tone ami a hank of hair, (We railed her the woman who did not care); Hut the fool he railed her hi* lady fair, (Kven a* you and 1).

The fear of monopoly in the hand ling of cotton by tbe round-bale pro cess, which has existed in some quarters, may lie set at rest by the statement in the Manfacturer’s Rec ord that it is authoritatively informed j that tho American Cotton Co. pro- 1 [ r~| that is Good in the Liquor line.

The plan of operations that has been decided upon will enable planters and ginners to avail them selves of tbo benefits of this inven tion on a liberal co-operative basis, with a market for their cotton assured. The company -will begin at once thp introduction of round-bale com presses. In an interview in the Manufact urers’ Record Mr. Henry Hentz,. president of the New York Cotton Exchange, calmly and accurately gages tho opposiuon to the new pro cess, and from an independent stand point, anpported by practical experi ence, he saya that “it is absolutely certain that cotton packed in cylin drical bales under tbe system adopted ! higher by this company will bring h, prices all the world over than that packed in the prevailing style.” SALE STABLES.
