THE EVENING GALL.
Vol. X. No. 174
the city council
Grant Petition Zof Osborn & Wolcott
to Kun Side Track to Foundry.
The city council met at 4 o’clock
thia afternoon, presided over by His
Honor, Mayor Davis.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
Aiderman Patrick stated that the
street committee had again gone over
the route for side track which Osborn
<fc Wolcott wish to run to their place
of business They thought the line a
feasible one, but were informed by
railroad officials that it could not be
run over that route.
Aiderman Bailey did not under
stand the committee as agreeing to
allow the track run-
Aiderman Patrick, to bring the
matter to a close, moved the railroad
be allowed to run the sick track to
Osborn & Wolcott’s foundry.
There was no second to this motion,
and Aiderman Bailey moved the peti
tion be not granted. This motion Was
seconded and brought forth considera
ble discussion for and against the peti
tion.
Aidermen Reid requested to be ex
cused from voting on the subject,
which request was granted.
The question was called for on Ai
derman Bailey’s motion and it was
lost by a vote of three to four.
Aiderman Patrick then moved that
the petition of Osborn and Wolcott be
granted, The motion was carried.
Aiderman Patrick stated the streets
were badly in need of work and moved
that the council authorize the street
committee to have a cart repaired and
buy a two horse harness so that some
work may be done on the streets.
Motion prevailed.
Aiderman Bailey thought the street
committee could superintend the
stieet work and thereby save the city
considerable cost and do better work.
Several other matters came up be
fore the council, which continued in
session until a late hour.
Meetings Closed-
The series of meetings which have
been held in the Presbyterian church
for several days, were closed this
morning, and Rev. Jas. G Patton has
returned to his home in Decatur.
The meetings were largely attended
at every service, and much interest
was manifested by the congregations.
Mr. Patton is a thoroughly consecrat
ed man, and his labors are always
blessed with an outpouring of divine
blessings.

We sell more of this article than all the

colic drops combined.” For teething chil

There has been very little gardening
done around here yet, but I guess there is
time enough yet; as long as the ground
stays so cold, nothing can grow.

PROFITS UF A DAIRY
t A Practical Discussion of an Impor
tant Question
; Concerning the subject of dairying
s the following article, from the Atlanta
Constitution by Col. Redding, is in
-3 foresting reading :
It is surprising that so few farmers
s in the south can be aroused to the
r great pose'biiities in the business of
i dairying. It can be easily shown that
i good milk can be produced and deliv
, ered at a creamery at a cost of 5 or 6
r cents a gallon. The creamery can
) afford to give the farmer 9 or 10 cents
a gallon for his milk and let him take
the skim milk, or buttermilk, home.
> Here is a clear profit of, say, 5 cents a
gallon for bis milk—besides the value
> of the manure for the well-fed cows
I and the value of nearly a gallon of
> skim milk, or buttermilk.
Suppose a cow give 3 gallons of
, milk per day for 10 months of the
. year This would amount to a profit
s of 15 cents a day on the one cow
(besides the skim milk), or $4 50 per
month, or $45 for the 10 mouths. Sup
pose a farmer has 10 cows instead of
■ one : The results would be just 10
, times at great, or $45 per month and
$450 for the 10 months. This is clear
. profit. The manure from the cows
i will pay for all the labor of feeding
sheltering and milking them, and will
rapidly improve his land, so that the
, farmer can make bigger and better
crops of corn, oats, sorghum, millet,
, bay and other forage, and will be com
pelled to get more cows to consume
the increased products of his farm.
This increased number of cows will
increase the fertility of his land still
faster, and so on. He will also have
veal to sell and beef to sell. The ques
tion of raising cheap pork will be
, solved (if it ever needed any solution),
for nothing is better for pigs than skim
milk and buttermilk.
The bill country of the south is
bound to become a great dairying
region, and the development of the
industry is close at hand. We know
a comparatively young man in a
i county in northeast Georgia. He milks
50 cows and will soon have 100. He
sells bis butter the year round at 23 to
25 cents. He is rapidly making his
farm rich- He makes some cot.on at
the rate of one bale to the acre, corn
at 30 to 40 bushels, oats 50 to 70,
, wheat 20 to 25—and other things in
i proportion. Hie small grain stubble
fields come up in clover as naturally
as “Poor Joe” and rag weeds do in
some fields we have seen. We asked
him how low butter would have to
sell before he would find no profit in
making. He replied : “Well, about
12 or 13 cents a pound.” Which was
equivalent to saying that it cost him
about that to make butter and put it
on the market.

Robbed the Grave.
A startling inicident, of which Mr, |
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the 1
subject, is narrated by him as follows: |
"I was in a most dreadful condition. ;
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk- j
en, tongue coated, pain continually in j
back and sides, no appetite—gradually ?
growing weaker day by day Three !
physicians had given me up. For-, j
innately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
trie Bitters and to my great joy and •
surprise, the first bottle made a great
improvement. I continued their use i
for three weeks, and am now a well
man I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim.”

The Habersham rice mill property 1
at Savannah, Ga., has been purchased ,
by Mr. H. M. Comer. The price paid 1
was $45,000, and it is stated the sale '
was made to Mr. Comer personally,
and not to any railroad, though he is
not withheld from selling to the Cen
tral Railroad or any otffier corporation
or person be may choose. It seems
quite possible that the historic o'd
property may be transferred into a
portion of the terminal system of the
Central Railroad.

Cure is taken internally, acting directly

Excellent Combination.
1 The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and pr< .enting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system, it
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the Cat.ifornia Fig Sn<rr
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
