Vol. X. No. 151-
SPALDING DAIRY ASSOCIATION
Will Meet Next Saturday Afternoon
At the Court House.
The next meeting <>( the Bpaiding
Dairy Association will be held at the
court house next Saturday, March
411, at 2 p m. Questions of much im
portance to the farmers of Spalding
county will be brought up lor discus
eiou and it is hoped that every farmer
in the county will be present. Col
R J Redding has consented to give
an address on “Dairying in its Rela
tion to the Fertility of the S it ” A
constitution aud b)—laws will also be
adopted
If a creamery is to be estabiishe in
Griffin, it is time that those en'erested
should be “up and doing.” Now that
the roads are in fair condition let
everyone turn out to this meeting.
Everyone who wishes to learn of some
other means of making a living, other
than raising cotton, is invited to at
tend and become a member of the
Association. But the words in the
above “making a living other than
raising cotton" is a contradiction
these days for there is not even a liv
ing in cotton. Sc it is lime that some
thing else was taken hold of in order
that a living—not an existence
should tie made.
To these meetings an invitation is
cordially extended to the ladies in»
tereslcd in knowing how to make
good butter. Why it is that “fresh
country butter” brings the farmer but
twelve cents “in trade” when creamery
butter sells readily at twenty five
cents? The cost to produce a pound
of butter that will bring out twelve
cents is the same as the cost to pro
duce butter that will bring twenty five
cents and one of the objects of the
Spalding Dairy Association is to
learn how to make the twenty five
cent butler “Come let us reason to
gether” in this matter next Saturday.
11. E. Weed, Secretary.
Jay Gould’s Youngest Son-
Young men who come into a lor
tune of $10,000,000 on their twenty
first birthday are rare enough to be
interesting. Their character and opin
ions even are important, for the reason
that $10,000,000 carries with it great
power, which may be used for good or
for evil, not only to the possessor of
the money, but also to the community
at large. The indications are that
Frank Gould, to whom attainment of
majority has just brought a fortune of
ten millions, will put his money to
good use. There is no probability that
any of it will be squandered, for Frank
Gould inherits his father’s strong com
mon sence and quiet tastes. He has
no bad habits, nor even expensive
ones. He is much more interested in
the great activities in which bis mon
ey is invested than in any of the time
killing frivolities of the “Four Hun
dred” and the average New York city
young man who is rich enough to be
independentx?f work. Frank Gould
is not independent of work. He is
ambitious to follow in the footsteps of
his father, the late Jay Gould, and be
come a power in the world v>f com
merce and finance. He has been an
employe of the Missouri Pacific Rail
way, and by close study has mastered
all of the details in the operation of
this great railroad system. It is his
intention to apply himself to the prac
tical workings of the great properties
controlled by Gould’s millions, and
thus to be a complete master of the
position which bis mffney and inter
ests will give him. Frank Gould re
sembles his sister Helen in his fine
character and gentle disposition.
They both reside in the sister's man
sion at Irvington, and there is deep
sympathy and affection between them
Miss Helen Gould’s influence has uo
doubtly been one of the chief instru
ments in making Frank Gould the
promising young man he is.

COL. GLESSNER DISCHARGED-
The Georgia Prison Commission Now
Has a New Secretary-
.Atlanta, March I.—Hon. Douglass
Glessner, of Griffin, is no longer secre
tary of the Georgia prison commitsion.
And the vacancy was not caused by
a resignation on ths part of Secretary
Glessner nor by bis voluntary retire
ment. He was asked to resign three
weeks ago, but be waited to be dis
charged, and today bis successor was
elected and begun the discharge of hts
duties.
Captain Goodlow Yancey, of Athens,
succeeds Colonel Glessner to the sec
retaryship of the commission, the ap
pointment being made known this
morning
Colonel Glessner says he was dis
charged by the commission for politi
cal reasons, and in an interview given
for The Jounal he has some very warm
things to say about the commission
owing its existence to an opportunity
to pay politicial debts.
“I am out of the office,” said Col.
Glessner this morning “I have not
resigned, either. I have been dis
charged by the commission. It had a
right to do so, and 1 am not com
plaining about anything I will in
future reside in Griffin, my home, and
will devote all of my time aud energy
to the Griffin Daily News aud Sun, cf
which I am editor and proprietor ”
Arrested In Atlanta-
Officer Phelps went to Atlanta Tues
day after C. J Hunt, a young man
I
who is wanted here for cheating.
Hunt came to Griffin several days .
since representing the Macon Hide
and Tallow company, and after con
tracting several dub‘.» made a draft
on the house which was cashed here
after he was identified by Mr. E, S.
McDowell. The Macon company re
fused to honor the draft and Mr. Mc-
Dowell had to pay it. He then swore
out a warrant against Hunt, charging
him Tith cheating and swindling.
Officer Phelps returned last night
with his prisoner.
Gomez’s Popularity.
Gen. Gomez.has been received with
all the marks of respect and manifesta
tions of joy that he could reasonably
hope for. Indeed, so great have been
the attentions, and honors showered
on him that be remarked a day or two
ago that his popularity promised to be
the death of him.
The American officials have been
careful to show him all the respect to
which his rank entitles him. If be is
not satisfied with their treatment it is
impossible to satisfy him. But the
leading Cubans, as far as we have
been ul.'e to observe, are not at all
grateful to the American people for
freeing them from the yoke of Spain.
It is reported from the province of
Santiago that theie is talk thereto the
effect that the Cubans will revolt if
the Americans are not out of the is
land by next July.
There is no doubt that many, if n< t
the great majority, of the leading
Cubans want us to get out of the is
land. They are afraid apparently that
they will be deprived of the chance of
setting up such a government as they
desire and filling the offices. There
are as yet few signs of gratitude on
the part of the better class of Cubans
for what we have done for the Cuban
people The fact that we are now
feeding thousands of them, free of
charge, counts foi nothing apparent
ly, in their estimation Having got
rid of the Spaniards they now want to
get rid of us. The date of our depart*
ure is not fixed, however, and will not
be in all probability, until it is certain
that Cuba has a government that will
insure her prosperity and make it
certain that she will not soon again be
a source of annoyance to us—Savan

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 1899.
GERMANY IS FRIENDLY.
Asks the United States Government
to Represent Her in Samoa-
Washington, March I—Additional
proofs of Germany's desire to show
that no ill-will is borne toward Ibis
country by the Berlin government
were given to the state department
today.
This evidence of good faith was par*
ticularly gratifying because it came
when the air was lull of sensational
rumors about occurrences, that, Lad
they proved true, would have brought
on war.
The state department was officially
informed today that the cruiser
Kaiserin Augusta hail been ordered
from Manila to Tien Tain, China,
where the Germans were being as*>
saulted, and the fact that this governs
ment was informed indicates that ti e
German government desired the
United Plates to understand that no
fear was felt that the Manila authori
ties were unable to protect German
lives and property.
With the departure of the Kaiserin
Augusta no German warship will be
left at Manila Another proof of good
will was a request to the secretary of
state that in the absence of a German
warship from Apia the United S’ates
government represent Germany in Sa
moa. The request caused surprise,
but a cordial assent was given.
Telegraphic communication has
been opened with the gunboat Mariet
ta al Bluefield, Nicaragua, The first
dispatch from Commander Symonda
said that the revolution had ended.
The state department is satisfied that
the government of Nicaragua was not
responsible for the interruption of
communication.

Mexico’s Sign Language.
Mexico is a land of many tongues;
but above tie Indian dialects and
Spanish there is one universal lan
guage, the language of eight. It is
the most expressive of all; the Mexi
cans eye and hand are eloquent mem
bers. Il is capable of infinite variation ;
its shadings and suggestions are be
yond all translation. But there are
certain gestures that have a fixed
meaning, a signification well under
stood to every nation and every tribe
from Guatemala to Texas.
A general upward movement of the
body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows
raised, lips pouted the palms outspread
vary in meaning from “I don’t know
and I don’t care,” to a most respectful
‘ Really, sir, I do not understand you.”
The index finger moved rapidly from
right to left, generally before the face,
means, “No more,” or simply “No.”
To move the right hand palm outward
from the body toward another person
means, “Just wait; I’ll be even with
you yet.”
The index finger on the temple,
moved with a boring twist, means
“He’s drunk.”
The right hand held to the lips,
three fingers doubled, thumb and
little finger erect, varies from “He
drinks” to “Have one with me.”
To move the open band over the
cheek in imitation of a razor has refs
erence to the idiom ‘playing the
barber,” and meats “to flatter.”
All lour fingers and the thumb held
points together and moved toward ihe
mouth means “to eat.”
The right hand held before the face,
the two middle fingers moving rapid
ly, is a familiar salutation—Modern
Mexico.
Poiaon Part* of Snake*.
All poisonous serpents have movable
fangs, which are found in the upper
jaw, and when not in use close up like
the blade of a penknife.
At the base of every poison fang there
are numerous germs of others, and the
fang, if broken or lost, is replaced in a
few weeks by the growth of another
Three things too much and three too
little are pernicious to man —to speak
much and know little, to spend much
and have little, to presume much and
be worth little.—Cervantes.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It docs not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
positor ntrnnsr orp'r.
When 1J..-.5J ayiupiuiua are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rue
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
' discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
i der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
