» FEW THOUGHTS,
t —
Dear Reader, are you satisfied with your present financial standing? Do you not
want to improve your condition? It so, then wake up and begin to look for .oppor
tunities that will lead you to success. It is rarely the case one succeeds by luck.
‘A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.” A great many people are hard workers,
but poor managers. One of the secrets of success is knowing how to invest a dollar
when you have it. We are living in a progressive age, new ideas forging to the
front, shrewd business transactions, sharp competition. It takes hard study and
close observation to educate oneself for life's battles.
*> We invite your Inspection of our stock, which consists of top and open Buggies,
with orwithout rubber tires; Surreys, Farm Wagons, Harness, Robes, etc., Sewing
Machines, Harvesting Machines, etc. We sell the Carmichael "Jackson” Buggy,
the High Point Buggy, the Mitchell Wagon, White Hickoty Wagon, the Wheel*r &
Wilson Sewing Machine, the McCormick Harvesting Machines —with various other
articles which belong to our line.
J It will be a pleasure to us to have you call, inspect our line, compare prices and
terms with other dealers. We think it will be time well in vested to see us before
you buy.

\ Seventeen Foot Dam at
High Falls.
W.C Whitner, the chief engineer
gngaged in the construction of the
High Falls Power Co’s plant, was in
the city yesterday and reports work
Progressing satisfactorily. He
■jjrifeks the work should bo finished
earl y next summer, althonth a
» *
£reat deal depends upon the weather
permitting work tc be continued
right along during the winter. The
'present plans are for a seventeen
foot dam, which will give 2,000
h?rae power in Griffin. The dam
’will be built so as to allow an addi
tion of eight feet more, making
twenty-five feet, which will give an
.. fall is 108 feet, and Mr. Whitner
regards it as one of the finest to be
found anywhere.
The present pay roll is about
S6OO per zzeek, and the total cost of
construction is estimated at the
neighborhood of $200,000.
Captain Grantland, the head of
*■4116 company, spends a great deal o
his time at the Falls, and has set up
housekeeping out there. He is now
in the East, where he is placing his
younger daughter in school.
A number of small manufactories
are already in contemp’ation and
lawaiting the coming of the power,
which will be used to develope such
enterprises.
r Mr. Whitner's home is in Rich
mond, where he has the manage
ment of the public power plants,
and he only spends a portion of his
time here, the actual work of con
struction being in the hands of a
1 competent assistant. He is a young
man, end much interested in the
development of the different pow
ers of this wonderful country
through the amazing aid of elec
tricity.
Mr. Whitner, attar spending the
last two diys here and at the
Falls, returned home last night,
well pleased with the progress of
the work.
Reunion of the Green
Family.
The annual reunion and thanks
giving of the Green family was held
near Zera, in Pike county, on Sept.
Bth.
This association is composed of
the descendants of John Green, who
m was a descendant of General Na
' thaniel Grei n, and who settled on
4 lot of land No. 131, drawn from the
government just after the Indians
left the country, about 1823, the
country then being one vast forest. 1
Mr. Green was the third settler
.in that part of the county, John
Gresham betng the first, s me three
miles west, and John Mcore the
second, about one mile south.
Mr. Green raised thirteen chil
dren, all of whom married and
raised families. He died at a ripe
old ago in 1853, an honored and
much beloved man. His children
‘ v - lived honorable lives, two of them
being distinguished lawyers and
jurists, Gilfin Green dying on the
bench of the Flint circuit in 1863
and Hartford Green, so lonz judse
of the county court of Pike. All
have passed to the better land ex-
cept one, Mrs. Mary Head, of
\ Brushey, Ga, who, to the regret of
present, was denied the pleasure
of attending the reunion on account
of illness.
Thik association is an organiza
tion composed of a president, two
vice presidents, secretary and
treasurer, chaplain and chorister.
They meet first at the old burying
ground where John Green, his wife
and lus wife’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs Daniels, are buried.
The warm and loving handshakes
made each cue g’ad they were'
there, many of whom never see
each other except on these yeea
sions.
After cleaning off and
ths graves, we repaired to f»-
mous old rock spring, where every
one could quench their triLiiet te
their forepavents did so long age,
and be seated in that beautitul
shady grovo which surrounds the,
spring.
Such a lovine; reunion cannot bo
described here. Perfect peace and
happiness prevailed. Songi, pray
er and trunks giving were bad, after
which the big spread was made for
dinner, and the old rock fairly
groaned under the weight of the
good ea'ables
On calling the roll after dinner
149 were found present. Short and
interesting talks were made by sev
eral, and after the song “God bn
with you'til wo meet again” and
prayer by Rev. W. U. Kendrick,
the pain of parting came. But the
hope manifested by the expressijns
o f being present again next year re
newed the happiness again.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. 1903.
Nntold Millions in Scup
pernongs.
“If a European nation had the
scuppernong it would get rich off
it,” said G. Gunby Jordan, in a re
cent issue of the Colambus Enquir
er-Sun.
“It is the beat grape that grows,”
he continued. “The finest wine in
the,world can bo made from it. We
people in the South don’t- knowhow
to make scuppernong wine. We
make a sweetened preparation
which we call scuppernong wine,
but the wine is yet to be made in a
scientific manner, that is on any
large scale.
“The scuppernong is found only
in the Southern States, in America.
It cannot be grown in the North
and has never been successfully
cultivated in Europe. The scupper
nong belongs to us in the South
entirely—we have a trust, us it
were.
“The ecupyernorg vine is hardy
and grows like the famed gourd
vine-only it does not wither.
From one vine a large arbor can be
formed very quickly, and after it is
once established it will spread over
the whole face of the earth unless
checked. The worms and insects
and other enemies that so often kill
other grape vines do not affect the
scuppernong. If France had rhe
scuppernong she would make un
told millions on it. What we want to
do is to get a few experienced wine
makers from Europe—people who
know their business—to come across
and show us hov to make scupper
nong wine. Scuppernong wine,
• -protbrly me '4O fce.'most dftl’cieus
product t&w grapo, fired
will be is flerSfS'JP she vwrld over
as wrcn jut jt is infcMd.-.0-d. There’s
eaSi*® fbs culture of the scup
pernong in the South. The scup
pernong cm make us independent,
of cotton.
“Tbeoe are the simple facts in the
case. We have the finest grape in
the woil 1 from which we can make
the finest wine in the world—and
yet noshing is done with it. We are
not pushing the scuppernong. Here
Is an encyclopaedia that is supposed
to be up to-dutn. and yet when we
turn to the le"rr ‘B’ in it the only
thing we can find about • scupper
nong is that it is the name of a place
in North Carolina ! The world
simply doesn’t realize yet whet a
good thing tho scupper nong is. Let’s
push it along.”

Molena, Ga., September 16.—Foax
weeks drouth has cut the cotton crop
off fully half, and unknown peas, gar
dens, potatoes and turnips ar j all drieJ
up, and stock pastures also.
The farmers all saved a nice lot of
hay and fodder. The corn crop will ba
on an average better around Molena
than it was last year.
The cotton is opening very fast and
rhe people are m glad to get ceufi
for it they won't wait for it to go ta
12L cents, which it will do it a short
crop will make it do it, ThirtjWw*
bales have been received here up to
date. All the markets are doing wL
they can to draw the cotton from
market to another. A man will car*
his cotton ts Zebulon or MaauMifia
from right at Molena and they will
give one man on the first bale from aa
other market a cent above the market
to induce his neighbors to carry their
I cotton there. But the people should
not be deceived. The market is always
about the same anywhere, less ths
frieght. A heap of this high priced
cotton goes on doubtful accounts aatd
nous.
