It is desired that every veteran in Spalding county so arrange to attend this grand reunion, and wo should endeavor to go in a body. By order of W. R. Hanlbiter, J. P. Sawtbll, Commander. Secretary. Mr. Berner must at least be given credit tor modesty, tn his first speech he did not do a thing but put him eel I into a class with Toombs, Hill, Ham*- mond and Lewis. —Savannah News. The record tor counting money h held by George W. Marshall, deputy in the United States eubtreasury at New York One day recently $2,000,- 000 in cash was turned over to him to be counted and he performed the task in ninety seconds. However, it must • be ssid that the $2,000,000 was in con* venient form for counting, consisting of 200 United States legal tender cer tificates of the denojminalion of SIO,OOO each; The efforts of the management of * the Central railroad to encourage the development of dairy farming along its lines are steps in the right direo-* tion, and will no doubt- be productive of much benefit. The other railroads of the state might follow the excellent example of the Central, to their own profit as well as that of ,the people in the sections which they serve. The residents of the various cities and towns of Gborgia send out of the state millions of dollars every year to pay tor butter, cheese, chickens and eggs. These commodities ought to be pro duced at home. It is the Central’s ob ject to induce the people to produce them at home. The railroad will re ceive a return for its publid spirited ‘enterprlse by baying a, larger freight ■ and passenger business. —Savannah News. Al the stalo election in, October there will be balloted, for and elected three members of the supreme court —a chief justice and two associate justices. Os the two latter, one'term is for six years and the other two years It will be necessaiy for voters to designate on .their ballots their preferences for the two terms, byname; that is, they must not vole for John Doe and Rich ard Roe lor associate justices of the supreme,court, .but for John Doe for the six years’ tetm and Richard Roe for the two years’ term, or vice versa. The chief justiceship is a separate of fice under the constitution, and will, therefore, be voted for separately also. There will be no bunching of three candidates “for the- supreme court bench ” Os the associate justiceships, the long term will be in succession to Judge Fish, whose term will expire in December, 1898, and the short - term will be in succession to Justice Atkin son, resigned, which seat is'now being filled by Justice Lewis under appoint ment by the governor. Where Prosperity Comes From. Slalielican Hyde of the department of agriculture states that the total value of the country's exports in 1897 exceeded those of 1896 by over $93,- 000,000, and that more than two-thirds of the increaeexwaa in agricultural pro ducts. Some have fancied that pros perity came down from the political skies, flow we fmw officially that it comes up oct of the soil.—Philadelphia Reco« • <3 ~ - • " s DANCING DOWN DINNERS. ,* - - Kxnedlont l»y Which Gormandising I* ; Greatly Facilitated. >One of the most painful facta fn life ts the apparent tmposslMHty of reconciling fashion and common sense. Ono may bo long on style and short on comfort, or he • may have oomfort to born and give fashion She ahaka, but there seems to bo no all •round good thing so one may be swell •nd comfortable at the same time. You . must choose between them. There is no , good reason tor thia. It is an arbitrary and unnecessary infliction laid on a suffer ' ing world, and one is forced to the oonclu i cion that nothing short of utter malignity 1 oould have inspired many of the fashions under which we groan. There is not oven the excuse of beauty, for .which one might well endure many pangs of discomfort. There la nothing artistic in a linen collar 1 so high and stiff it looks like an under study of a terracotta chimney flue. But ' it is full of suffering and stylo. No one since the days of Mephistopheles over had feet built after the architecture of the pointed toe shoes. There is no beauty in them—nothing but aches and corns and fashion. When nature made lovely wom an, it wrote beauty in every soft curve of her body, but fashion never rested until it squeezed and compressed her into the chape of an hourglass. She was too com fortable in flowing draperies that fell in loose grace, and she was girded up in stays and smothered in frillsand weighted down with ornaments in the interest of the theory that style and comfort oould not bo amalgamated. Such being the case, it gives great pleasure to notice that a new fashion has been introduced which happily combines the very latest wrinkle of fash ion with the most admirable common sense. It is now customary among the smart set in Now York to have dancing between the courses of elaborate dinners. The swell dancing Is varied with cake walks, skirt dancing and other edifying aids to diges tion. The possibilities this opens up to people of epicurean taste are simply limit less, and it is also beyond praise as a kind of life saving measure, ns every one at a long dinner must have some time felt that the next course would be the death of him. Then, too, this scores heavily for us as showing the advancement in refinement that has been made since the days of the banquets of Luoullus and other swell din ner givers of antiquity. When their jaded appetites gave out, they took a disgusting, if simple, means of refreshing them, so as to be able to take a fresh start all over again. Now, we will simply arise and exe cute a short but violent dance, and be ready to do justice to the further triumphs of the chef. No more dishes served with sauce piquante or sauce hollandaise, but With an accompaniment of Virginia reel or a cake walk or a highland fling and good digestion will wait on appetite. Another advantage it offers is the sup pression of the after dinner orator. Fel lows like Chauncey Depew will no longer have a monopoly on a good thing because they can talk, don’t you know. On the contrary, young fellows whose brains are in their heels will bo the bright, particular stars that people who give fashionable din ners will seek out. On the whole, this readjustment of the etiquette of dinner giving has everything to commend it and will stand as a monument to tho genius who devised it.—New Orleans Picayune. The Bunaway Bnglne. In cleaning the Are a spark had ignited the waste on top of the back driving box. The blaze attracted the attention of my old friend Pop, who was oiling his engine and talking with a couple of flrenjen as she passed. Thinking that the hostler was taking her out to the coal pockets, ho ' shouted: “Heyl Yer back drlvin box is afire I'* As no one answered, they all looked carefully at her and saw that she was alone. A shout went up, “That en gine’s runnln away!” The fireman of a nearby switch engine leaped to the ground and sprinted after her. In the meantime old 06, having passed all the switches and got upon tho main track, was gaining speed with every revolution of her big drivers. The fireman touched the back of her tank with the tips of his outstretched fingers, and then with a derisive wriggle of her drawhead she glided away. He was directly in front of the telegraph office when he realized that the race was •lost and rushed into tho office, told the operator what had happened and advised him to tell Wilson, eight miles away, to side track her. Wilson got the message all right and started on tho run. As he opened tho door a meteor shot by, and, glancing up the line, a faint glimpse of tho back end of a tender with a big yellow 90 on it disappearing round the curve in a cloud of dust told him she had gone.— Herbert E. Hamblen, in “Firing a Loco motive,” in McClure's. - - Bain and Bravery. Mr. Frederick Villiers, the well known war correspondent, tells a characteristic anecdote of Sir Henry Havelock-Allan. During the siege of Plevna bo was riding with a colleague toward headquarters from a little fight which had taken place on tho east of Plevna. Both were tired, and their horses wore jaded with a hard day’s- work. Bui Sir Henry kept up a steady trot in spite of the heavy roads. Presently his comrade’s horse stumbled, throwing the rider to the ground. The general drew rein at once and shouted tc his prostrate colleague: “What are you do ing there, sir? Great heavens! Get np at once! Do you hoar, sir? This is simply disgraceful. Mount at once!" The fallen man, half stunned, struggled to bls feet. By this time Sir Henry had caught his horse and brought it to him. His compan ion was reeling like a drunken man, and, not quite certain whether hie neck was broken, he was mopping bls bleeding head with his pocket handkerchief. “Great heavens! And you call yourself an English man. Mount at once, sir!” shouted Allan. His colleague instinctively obeyed without a murmur; but, as bo was reeling a bit, Sir Henry rode by his side murmuring: “You are hurt, I know, but for God's sake don't show it before these Cossacks. We are Englishmen, and we can’t afford to let Russians sec that wo feel pain.”—St. James Gazette. Germany’s Increasing Population. ’’ The German people, who in 1816 num bered only 35,000,000, are now more than 45,000,000, and their present rate of in crease is greater than that of any other European nation. They add yearly IM to every 10,000 of their population, while the United Kingdom adds 101 to the safee number and France only 26. Travelers agree that of the wheelwoiqpn the world over the English woman puts in the wont appearance. Not one woman cyclist in 80 in the little Isle looks well mounted and the fault is all her own. Two-thirds of the English women ride with their saddles too low, handle bant too high and skirts badly cut. ’ ’ 7 : WAR DECLARED! ■ ’ ■O l " * . I i On All Fall and Winter !
