NbW’Tork, No*. 9.—Colonel Theo
dore Rooeewlt, Republican, wu eject
ed governor of New York io yeeter
day’a election by a plurality of from
18,000 to 20.000.
When itwaa announced pjaitively
that he had been elected, Colonel
Roosevelt said :
“I appreciate the horror very deeply,
and I appreciate even mure deeply
the responsibility involved in the
honor. I slfth do all in my power to
redeem every promise I have made,
expressed or implied. I ama good
Republican, and I believe I can serve
the Republican party by doing every
thing I can to help it serve the state.
I shall strive to administer the office
of governor in the interest of the
whole people. f '
“B is by so doing that I can best
show my appreciation of the support
given me by the independents and
Democrats who have themselves put
the welfare of the state first, declining
to follow those of tbdir leaders who in
this crisis either ranged themselves
outright on the other side of the forces
of dishonesty or else supported, them
in effect by standing aside from the
real contest?’ t
Wonderful Little Animals.
Yesterday was a gala day for the
children of Griffin, and they will not
cease talking of it until Banta Glans
comes along to monopolize their at
tention.
The cause of all this happiness was
the arrival of Professor Gentry and his
wonderful little ponies, dogs and mon
keys, who gave two performances in a
large tent on the circus ground.
Nearly every child in Griffin, chape
roned by one or both parents, attended
the performance#! and their enthusi
asm was genuine and hearty.
The entertainment is a wonderful
demonstration of the intelligence of
animals, and sbows that they can be
taught to do almost anything if the
teacher is kind and patient.
The performance consists of riding,
jumping, races, dancing, etc. The
elephants walked on barrels, and did
other remarkable tricks .“Romeo”
and “Juliet,” two beautiful little po
nies answered questions, played see
saw, danced, and made themselves
generally agreeable.
The Gentry fire brigade, made up of
ponies, dogs and monkeys, with a
truck, hose reel and the patrol wagon,
made a splendid run for a real fire,
and saved lots of goods, besides put
ting out the fire. This scene was ex'
tremely clever, as well as amusing.
This is Professor Gentry’s first visit
to our city, but the hundreds who wit
nessed the performances yesterday
hope it will not be his teat.
A Narrow Escape.

the wiregraee might be of interest to

gentle atapes and covered with pine
, forests uudwi redraw, well watered
' with nifetprinp branches. Land sells
’ hero froms2 00 to SIO.OO per acre, ow

I state of jwoduotiveness, and 60 bushels
1 of corn, Or one bale of cotton per acre,
* is not uncommon where the land has
■ been built up. Farmers here grow
* anything that can be grown anywhere
1 in the State. Corn, cotton, both long
and ehorl staple, groundpeas, sugar
cane and many other things. Wo have
E the fence law, ano stock run out the
year round. The wiregrass affords a
1 good pasture for cattle about 8 months
I in the year, and meat costs but little
1 to.raise, for hogs run out, and with
1 some attention till fall, they take run
* of the fields. One acre planted in
* ground peas will fatten three hogs,
> without any corn.
This country is rapidly being settled
up, and you can find familes here from
every section of the State This coun

are moral and law abiding.
1 The turpentine men lease the tim

poses, and the saw mills saw the largo
1 timber, then the land is out upend sold
to farmers, who defer it up and im
prove it. We make enough the first
year to pay for cultivating it, and the
aecond year a fine crop is made.
There io opt a healthier section in
the State, and I believe this is destined
to be the garden spot of America in
the near future. Real estate here has
advanced 200 per-cent in the past few
years, and" improved lands can be
bought on long time.
The Middle Gkobgia Farmer is a
welcomed visitor to our homo, and we
seen its columns eagerly every week to

Heb the Orphans.
The Thortiwell Orphanage, under
the care of Southern Presbyterians, is
located in Clinton, South Carolina. It
io itself a little village of family cot
tages, in which reside one hundred and
seventy-five fatherless children, with
their teachers and matrons. Here tco
are the buildings for school and trade
work, for both boys and girls are thor>
oughly fitted to care for themselves
before being sent out in the world.
y These orphans are received from any
State, and without regard to denomi
national affinities. The orphans of
Presbyterian parentage are in the mi
nority. No indenturing or binding in
or out, as in most homes, is required
of the orphans. Leve and advantage
are the all powerful means of disci
pline. '
The support' of these children is pro
vided by “whosoever will.” It is whol
ly voluntary. It any reader of these
lines is led to help them, he can send
his gift to “Thorowell Orphanage,
Clinton, S. C.” Provisions are as use
ful as mony, where they Can more
easily be spared.
At these thanksgiving times, our
hearts are all alive with gratitude to
God. How can we better show it
'than by pitying the fatherlessT
Dr. Jacobs, the bead of the Orpha
nage, will gladly give information to
any desiring to know more of this re
markable and iu some respect, pioneer
work for the orphans.
