february 11.
“Georgia Day” tFeb. 12)
will be observed by the public
schools of the State on Friday,
Feb. xi, and a proclamation to
this effect has been sent out by
School Commissioner Pound.
The official progamme for the
day has been published in the
lorm of a booklet, edited and
compiled by Miss Mildred Ruths
erford, of Athens. If anyone
doubted the fitness of setting
apart the day on which the first
settlers landed at Savannah as
“Georgia Day,” all that one
needB to do is to note the follow
ing list of achievements and
discoveries in which Georgia
stands first among all the States
of the Union, to-wit:
The first vessel commissioned
to fight the British (in the Rev*
olutionary War)was a Georgia
schooner.
The first steamboat to cross
the Atlanticwas the “Savannah”
which sailed from Savannah Ga,
The first State University in
the United States was the Unn
versity of Georgia*
The first college in the world
to bestow degrees upon women
was Wesleyan Female College
Macon, Ga. The first chartered
collegefor women in the world
was this college. The first wo.
man in the worid to receive a
diploma from any college was
Mrs Charles F. Benson, nee
Brewer, and that diploma hangs
upon the walls of Wesleyan Col
lege at Macon.
The first discoverer of snathe-
sia was Dr. Crawford W. Long
of Jefferson, Ga.
The first sewiDg machine in
the world was made by Dr.
Francis Robert Goulding of
Liberty county, Ga. who also
rivaled DeFoe as an author of
stories of adventure.
The first passenger railway
train ran from Augusta, Ga. to
Charleston, S. C.
The first Sunday school in
the world was started by John
Wesley in Savannah, one year
before Robert Raikes. of Glou
cester, was born.
One of the finest flute players
and sweetest lyric poets in the
world was Sidney Lanier, of
Macon, Ga.
The first to codify the English
common law and principles of
equity was Thomas R. R. Cobb,
01 Athens, Ga.
The first to raise the United
States flag at Manila was Tom
Brumby, of Marietta Ga,
The first to dig a tunnel under
the Hudson river was William
Gibbs McAdoo, of Marietta. Ga.
The first so'diers that offered
for service in the Confederate
army were the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry, of Savannah, Ga.
The first general or command
ing officer to be sla*n in the
Confederate service was Francis
S. Bartow, 0/ Savannah, Ga.
The only colony which pro
hibited the importation or sale
of intoxicating liquor was Geor
gia.
The only colony which for.
bade slavery was Georgia.
Georgia was also the first
colony to send missionaries to
the Indians ; the first to suggest
Memorial Day ; the first to be
stow Crosses of Honor on vet
erans of the War Between the
States ; the first to raise cotton
in the United States.
The fi*8t suggestion of a cot
ton (gin came ;from a Georgia
woman—Mrs Hillhouse of Au
gusta.
Tne tirst ironclad steamboat
with a ram, was the “Manassas,’’
built by a Georgian, • Charles
Austin. The history of its
achievement is too well known
to need repetition.
The first brush for a cotton
gin was invented by Mrs Na
ihaDiel Greene, ot Savannah,Ga
A Condition That Will Make
The South Rich.
Monroe (La.) News.
It is authoritatively stated
that the Southern cotton mills
are now consuming 2,500,000
bales of cotton a year, or as
much as all the other mills of
the United States are consuming
of Southern grown cotton, and
that the South is now spending
$20,000,000 annually in build*
ing cotton mills. These are sigi
nificant facts, and should be
pondered by all citizens, as they
indicate tremendous advances
along industrial lines. Only a
few years ago the New England
States were consuming almost
all the cotton that was manufac
tured in America, and cotton
mills in the South were few and
extremely tar between. Such
is not the case today, as is made
evident by the facts given above.
When the South shall have
reached its full developement;
when this country has attained
that importance which by nature
it is destiued to reach, all the
cotton produced in the South
will be manufactured into fabrics
in the South. Southern capital
ists and business men have
demonstrated their ability to
succesffully manage large manu
facturing plants, and there is no
reason why the South should
not become the manufacturing
center of the cotton industry. It
seems the acme of foolishness to
ship the raw material hundreds
of miles to be converted into
cloth and then buy it back, Jpay-
ing freight in all directions,
when it could be manufactured
here at home. This, however,
is in keeping with the idea and
custom of maintaining corn-cribs
and smoke-houses in some far
off Western State. Our success-
fulfarmers have abandoned this
suicidal practice, and are grow
ing independent, because they
are learning the serret of “living
at home and trading at the
same place.’’ Our far seeing
capitalists and business men ate
rapidly |coming to realize the
importance of home manufactor
ies, and the expenditures of
$20,000,000 a year for cotton
mills indicates that long strides
are oeing taken in the direction
of “moving the cotton mills to
the cotton fields.’’

Ebsn Hid His From His Wife, and 8ha
Cherished Her Own.
“How’s business, Eben ?”
The old man was washing at the
sink after his day’s work.
“Fine, Marthy; fine!”
“Does the store Took just the
same, with the red geranium in the
window ? Land, how I’d like to see
it with the sun shining in! How
does it look, Eben?”
Eben did not answer for a mo
ment. When he did his voice shook
a bit.
“The store’s never been the same
since you left, Marthy.”
A faint little flush came into
Martha’s withered cheek. Is a
wife ever too old to he moved by
her husband’s flattery ?
For years Plben and Martha had
kept a tiny notion store. Then Mar
tha fell sick and was taken to the
hospital. That was months ago.
She was out now, but she would
never be strong again—never be
partner in their happy little trade
again.
“I can’t get over a hankering for
a sight of the store,” thought Mar
tha one forenoon. “If I take it-
real careful I enn get down there.
’Tisn’t so far. Eben ’ll scold, but
he’ll be tickled most to death.”
It took a long time for her to
drag herself downtown, but at last
she stood at the head of the little
street where the store was. All of a
sudden she stopped. Ahead, on the
pavement, stood Eben. A tray
liung from his neck, on which were
arranged a few cards of collar studs,
some papers of pins and shoe laces.
Two or three holders were in his
shaking old hand, and as he stood
he called his wares.
Martha clutched at the wall of
the building. She looked over the
way at the little store. Its win
dows were filled with fruit, and an
Italian name fluttered on the awn
ing. Then Martha understood. The
store had gone to pay her expenses.
She turned and hurried away as
fast as her trembling limbs would
take her.
“It will hurt him so to have me
find out,” she thought, and the tears
trickled down her face.
“He’s kept a secret from me, and
I’ll keep one from him,” she said to
herself. “lie shan’t know that I
know.”
That night when Eben came in,
chilled and weary, Martha asked
cheerfully the old question:
“How’s business ?”
“Bctter’n ever, Marthy,” answer
ed Eben.—Youth’s Companion.

If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for
female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you
not feel like trying it ?
If during the last thirty years we have not succeeded in
convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thou
sands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we
long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence.
Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee
to be genuine and truthful.
Hudson, Ohio.—“ I suffered for a long time from a weakness,
inflammation, dreadful pains each month and suppression. I
had been doctoring and receiving only temporary relief, when a
friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham s^Vegetable'Com
pound. I did so. and wrote to you for advice. I have faithfully
followed your directions and now, after taking only live bottles
of the Vegetable Compound, I have every reason to believe ! am
a well woman. I give you full permission to use my testimonial.
—Mrs. Lena Carinocino, Hudson, Ohio. R. F. D. No. 7.
St. Regis Falls, N. Y.—“Two years ago I was
so bad that I had to take to my bed every month,
and it would last from two to three weeks. I
wrote to you for advice and took Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound in dry form. I am
happy to say that I am cured, thanks to your
medicine and good advice. You may use my
letter for the good of others.” — Mrs. «LmH«
Breyere, St. Regis Falls, N. Y.
There is absolutely no doubt about the
ability of this grand old remedy, made from
the roots and herbs of our fields, to cure
female diseases. We possess volumes of proof of this fact,
A
enough to convince the most skeptical.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman docs justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
* Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
_ to write her for advice. She lias
guided thousands to health free of charge.

“The Smiths.”
John Smith—plcin John Smith
is not very high sounding: it
does not suggest aristocracy ;
is not the name oi any hero in
die-away novels; and yet it is
good, strong and honest. Trans
terred Jto other languages, it
seems to climb the ladder ol
respectability. Thus, in Latin it
is Johannes Smithus, the Italian
smoothes it oft into Giovanni
Smithi; the Spainard renders
Juan Smithus; the Dutchman
adopts it as Hans Schmidt; the
French flatten it out iuto T ean
Smeet, and the Russian sneezes
and barks Jonioff Smittowski.
When John Smith gets into tea
trade in Cantan he becomes
Jovan Schmitt; if he clambeis
about Mt. Heela. the Icelanders
say he is Jahne Smithson : if he
trades among the Tusnaroras he
becomes Ton Qa Smittia; in
Poland he is known as Ivan
Schmittiweiski, and should he
wander among J the Welsh
mountains they talk of John
Schmid: wheu he goes into
Mexico he is leoked as Jnti
F’Smitti; if of classic turn he
lingers among Greek ruins he
turns to Ion Smikton, and in
Turkey he is utterly disguised as
Yoe Seef.—Phrenological Jour
