'('lie Giifflu cresmery will be in ~p by the first of July, unies something unloreseen should bappei to delay the building. Seven*! train loads o( material havi arrived, and dirt was broken today foi laying the foundation, and the build jug will be pushed to completion tu rapidly as possible, Mr. J. Wallace left on the morning train for Chicago, where he will pur chase the latest improved machinery and when completed the Dixie Cream cry will be thoroughly up to date in every detail, and the tquai of any in the country. Mr. Wallace, who is originally from lowa, has been in Griffin for several weeks getting up the required capital to establish tb's new enterprise, and he is enthusiastic over the outlook, He says this section has such natural advantages for dairying and the creamery business that it is time it should take its rightful place at the bead of all other sections engaging in these industries. He is confident when Griffin’s creamery has been in operation for a few months that others will be established in various sections of the State. The stockholders of the creamery met this morning and elected the fol lowing officers: President—H. J. Wing. Secretary—J. Wallace. Treasurer—A C. Wing. They made a wise selection aud placed at the head of the business men who have spent their lives among creameries and who will carry this one to a grand success. *.

It is reported that more than live hundred tickets were sold yesterday, which is decidedly the largest sale ever known prior to day of departure. Yet there will be room for all, as the train is a long one. Should a little shower come tonight it will greatly add to the pleasures of the day, as it will settle the dust and cool the atmosphere. liemember to have your baskets properly tagged and at the depot by 6:30 tomorrow morning.

Discovered by a Womar. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov ery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking the first dose, that ehe slept all night; and with two bot tles, has been absolutely cured.

Britton, of is Barnesville, lhe sermon was from the text, “Sowing and Reaping," aud g Was foil of sound logic and helpful '- advice to the young people' It was a ,q splendid discourse, and was listened to i with closest attention by the large an ti dience present. n Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, our state school commissioner, Hon. n G R. Glenn, delivered a very able and ii interesting lecture on the newer meth d ' ods of teaching, and its effects on the d ; pupil. He gave particular attentien | to the need of technical education,and I I predicted wonderful advances along e! this line in the near future. His lee t ture was much enjoyed and appreciat- B ed by all present. He was the guest of j Hon. Chas. T. Smith during his stay t here. * s day night by an exhibition by the s younger children. They rendered a beautiful programme, and acquitted themselves well. The closing exercises . i last night by the senior class consisted of dramas, recitations, tableaux, and vocal and instrumental music—and constituted a treat that is rarely found outside the large cities. 1 The music was unusually fine, and 3 much enjoyed by all present. r Prof. WG. Brown, the principal of 3 the school, deserves great credit for I the excellent entertainment he pre- I pared, and the thoroughness of it ren dition. Equal honor is due Miss Mary 1 Strickland, who is at the head of the ‘ ' music department, and who, with the r I assistance of a few young ladies and I gentlemen, furnished such excellent 3 1 music. >1 The beautiful medals offeted by the " principal for the best general profi- N cieucy, were awarded to Mies Laura 1 j Strickland and Mr. Eugene Irvin. ' They were delivered nt the close of the I ; exercises by Col. J. M. Strickland, with ' ' . appropriate remarks. h The term just closed has been the] I most successful in the history of the j ’ l institution, and our school is now the ■ best in the country, except Gordon In ( stitute, at Barnesville.

As a matter of fact not a great ileal will be required of them, ( They will be stationed in various parts . of the island and will hunt down ban- I (fits aud murderers. i V\ hen Secretary Alger was in Porto > Rico it was represented to him that it would be a stroke of policy to put some of the Porto Ricans in the army service on the island. It would be gratifying to a certain class of the people to see their fellow citizens ‘ wearing the uniform of the I’nited i States, it was said, and at the same time employment would be given to a few of the people, many of whom tire in a poverty-jtricken condition. Notwithstanding the richness of the soil of Porto Rico the great maj jrity of the people are miserably poor. The people themselves are of course re sponsible for this condiion of affairs. I hey are not thrifty, and dou’e seem to care for anything beyond erough to bide their nakedness and to keep their bodies and souls together. The volunteers of our army who were paid off and mustered out in Porto Rico in accordance with their request, do not appear to have fared wall. Doubtless they thought that with a few hundred dollars each they could soon become wealthy land own ers. At last accounts they were in a pitiable state of poverty. Clearly they found the island overcrowded, or else lhev lingered with the wine and dark eyed senoritas so long that they had no money with which to buy coffee and sugar plantations when they real ized that in Porto Rico, as elsewhere, that wealth is not accumulated with out an effort. Glorious News Comes from Dr. P>. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes : “Four bat , ties of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs ! Brewer of Scrofula, which had caused j her great suffering for years.

It would probably astonish a great many of them to know that the only town in North Carolina where no negro may either live or own a foot of ground is settled entirely by New Englanders, and that there is t.ot a southern-born adult among its citizens. So, too, lhe only protest that I happen to know of against the establishment of ,i school for negro children in one of the towns lin the state was signed by men of northern birth Nit a man of south 'em birth would sign it. Toe southern born man is no more opposed to being ruled by negroes than the northern man, who came to lhe south and set tled there All alike think that uuiver suffrage was a sad mistake, hut we all hope to corn cl the mistake through the influence of the industrial schools that are springing up all over the south, ’ and that are doing more good than any other one agency that can be named to make the blacks sel'-supporting, self-respecting, and ambitious to ad t vance.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Interest i largely centers in what is known as • the pivotal group of states It is a fact worthy of note that all - candidates for the presidency elected . since 187*1 have carried New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, or New York, Connecticut and Indiana. It is i also significant that no president elect ed since 1876 could have received a ( majority of voles in the electoral col i lege, exclusive of the vote of New ■ York, and those states which almost invariably go the same way as New , York. This has been true from Sam uel Tilden down io William McKinley. In most cases the successful candi , dates have won by the votes of New York and the two small adjoining i states. It is a fact that Hon. W. J. Bryan would have defeated McKinley in the i last election by thirty-nine electoral i votes, if he had carried New York, , Connecticut and New Jersey. Thia f fact is worth hearing in mind when I the leaders of the democratic party j come together to make a platform and ; select candidates for the presidency ar d vice presidency. The state of New York, with its large electoral vote, is of itself a factor of the greatest importance. In half | of the elections since 1876 the success- I ful candidate would have been defeat , ed by the loss of the vote of that state j alone It i s generally conceded that ;do candidate who carries New York, i Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut j can be defeated, so long as the coun i try remains divided along present I lines, as it has been since the war. There are rainbow chasers in both I parties, but it is the part of prudence to study the history of past elections, when it comes to making a platform j and nominating candidates.—Colum bus Enquirer-Sun. •’ z 'W ’ fcn Excellent Combination.
