Atlanta is progressing in aesthetic
eatables. On an Alabama street
sign may be seen, “Bull frogs’ legs
booked in any style.” The fastidious
may turn up their noses and hold up
their hands in holy hprror at the
thought of eating the leg of a frog.
A bull frog’s leg, properly cooked, is
nftt to be passed lightly by if you
ait fond of something delicate. The
meat is as white as that of a shad
but is firmer—not quite as firm as
chicken meat. The flavor of a frog’s
leg is a cross between chicken, squir¬
rel and fish. A good many frogs are
oaten in Griffin, but there are never
enough to supply the restaurants.
The Great Dismal Swamp,
of Virginia, is one enormous quag¬

more so than the human system

to an
household. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasat Pur¬
gative Pellets remove all waste mat¬
ter, and give Nature a chance to

Stick to Cotton Bagging.
To the Merchants, Farmers and oth¬
ers who do not belong to the Farm¬
ers' Alliance:
The fight now existing between cot¬
ton bagging and jute bagging is an
important one for your consideration.
It is not, or should not be, between
the Alliance alone and the jute folks.
It is true we opened the fight, but
success will benefit you as much as
ourselves, since the tare has been reg¬
ulated in nearly all ®ur cotton mar¬
kets, we will sustain little or no loss
by reason of the difference in weights,
and we can see no reason why you
should not use cotton goods on your
own cotton. Our success in this
fight is altogether with you, and as
®ur interest is yours, and your suc¬
cess in business depends largely on
our success as farmers, we believe it
not only your duty but that it is to
your interest to help ns. Recently I
have visited a great many alliance
lodges in this and surrounding coun¬
ties, and I have yet to meet the first
alliance man who says to will use
jute even if it be given to him. Be¬
sides, I have seen quite a number who
do not belong to our order who are
as fully determined to use cotton
wrapping as we are. Numbers of
judges have passed resolntions asking
aid from their merchants and re¬
solving not to trade with those who
deal in jute. As I have found it in
my little travels here, I read of its
being so all over the cotton States.
Our interest and that of our mer¬
chants are too closely identified for
any conflict between us; we should
act all together in this matter and
use nothing but cotton goods, even
if jute is offered us free.

The Wive Million of Five Per Cent,
Negotiated—How Money Will
Be Used.
The $5,000,000 five percent, bonds
for the Savannah and Western rail¬
road have been placrfl in New York
and the money is now in the com¬
pany’s treasury.
The bonds are issued on the lines
constructed by the Central railroad
on its Savannah and Western divis¬
ions. The proceeds oi the bonds
will be applied first to the payment
of the floating debt incurred by the
construction of the road. The re¬
mainder will be carried in the treas¬
ury of the company to be applied
to the construction of more branch
lines if decided upon by the direct¬
ors, or for other uses at their sug¬
gestion.
General Manager Belknap states
that the contract for the branch
from Eden, twenty miles west of Sa¬
vannah, to Eastman, on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,]will
be let at once. The extension from
Eastman to Americus will intersect
the Georgia Southern and Florida
near Cordele. The distance from Sa¬
vannah to Americus will be 175 miles
and from Savannah to Birmingham
415.
A part, of fcto Eden branch has
been graded and work will be pushed
ahead as rapidly as itcan be handled,
General Manager Belknap says.

Woodbury’s Commencement.
Woodbury, Ga., June 26.—The
closing exercises of our school occur¬
red last Friday. There were no
charades, tableaux or dialogues, but
an honest, candid and thorough ex¬
amination of classes in text books
from the elements of the English
language and through a full mathe¬
matical course. In Latin logic the
classes were rigidly examined from
the first principles of Bingham’s
Latin Grammar through all the de¬
clensions of nouns, pronouns and ad
jectives, through the four conjuga
tions Of verbs without an error and
With scarcely a hesitancy. The con¬
jugations were recited entirely by
the pupils. The principal did not
announce a single mood or tense
The analysis of Latin sentences and
parsing were unequalled by anything
ever heard by any one in the vast
audience. The unanimous verdict
expressed by the hnndreds pres ent is
that the examination of the Wood¬
bury High School has never been
equalled by any similar exercises
hitherto witnessed by any one who
heard them. In mathematics, defini¬
tions weregiven, principles elucidated
and problems solved promptly, clear¬
ly, distinctly and deliberately. The
short trite question “Why?” rang
out at the end of each exercise. The
“Why?” was given unhesitatingly
jn every instance.
The best essays we have ever listen¬
ed to in school or college were fault¬
lessly read by fourteen young ladies,
followed by thirty boys and young
men in declamation. To say that
this exercise was splendid scarcity
expresses what the vast crowd pro¬
nounced it. All the exercises were
interspersed throughout with beauti¬
ful mnsic by the entire school, con¬
ducted by Mrs. M. E. McLendon,
who has ably and efficiently assisted
in this school.
The exercises opened promptly at
7 a. m., and with one hour’s inter¬
mission for dinner continued until
5:30 p. m. Our school has on its
roll 126 names. The faculty consists
of J. G. Calhoun, Principal; Rev. 8.
D. Clemente, Mrs. J. G, Calhoun, Mrs.
M. E. M.cLendon, Assistants. The
people of our town and vicinity
want no better, no indeed they want
no other faculty. I
The Philadelphia Fruit Market.
Philadelphia, June 24.—Peaches
are doing better now, since the fair
weather favors their sounder con¬
dition and increases the demand
and since local strawberries are out
of the way.
The increasing natural demand
here for fruit, after this week, will
center upon Southern peaches and
plums—the California train loads
come to N. Y. and Boston, none come
direct to Philadelphia.
The peach crop in Delaware, Mary¬
land and New Jersey promises only
a late, poor quality and very light
yield; so that our market should
draw your Southern car lots satis,
factorily as long as you can put them
here in fairly sound condition.
To strike onr 4th of July fruit de¬
mand your shipments must be in our
hands the early part of that week;
put none here on that day; the great
demand comes about Tuesday before
the 4tlv
Prtsent prices for peaches and
plums are at the rate of $2.00 and
$3.00 per bushel, as to quality, with
an upward tendency on anything de¬
sirable in quality.

Last Friday night was one of the
most enjoyable occassionever known'
in the history of our little town. The
pupils of the school, assisted by their
teachers, gave an ice cream festival
at the opera house, on Greenville
street. At 8 o’clock the hall was
crowded and every heart seemed to be
perfectly happy, while the younger
people were busy preparing for the
supper, which was spread at ten
sharp. A more bounteous table
was never set before a people on
such an occasion. Cakes of all kinds,
fruits of all kinds, ics cream, sherbets
of different kinds, lemonade, etc, was
plentiful. After an hour and a half’s
enjoyment at the table, then 'came
the Baddest moment, of shaking
hands and bidding each other good
by. After which they repaird to
their respective shades of rest, feeling
much gratified at the success of their
festival.

One on the Blue Grass Region.
Referring to the blue grass region
of Kentucky and its fine horses, a
young lady of Mississippi was visit¬
ing that section and was en¬
tertained at a dinner party at the
governor’s mansion. During the
course of the dinner a degenerate son
of the governor talked loosely about
things in general, and among them
of a visit through Mississippi, re¬
marking that he had not seen a
pretty women in his tour through
the State. The fair young girl from
Mississippi awaited her opportunity
and during a short lull in the conver¬
sation turned and asked the govern
or if what she heard of the gentlemen
of Kentucky were true. The govern¬
or wanted to know what it was, and
the attention of the whole company
was directed to the lady’s response.
“Well,” said she, “I heard that
Kentucky gentlemen educate their
horses and turn their sons out to
grass.”—[Washington Post.
