Admiral Dewey, on board his flag ship, Olympia, has] arrived at Suez in good health. Now he hat reached what may bo called the outer rim of civilization, and his cruiso through tho Mediteranean will no doubt be a mem orable one, for our British cousins have many naval posts in the Slediter. ranean Sea. lint when he reaches the shores of the United States, what a re ception there will be! Leonard Wood declined the position of president of the consolidated street railways of Washington at a salary variously estimated at from $20,000 to $30,000 per annum in order to go back to Cuba on the scant pay of a soldier and clean np the province of Santiago, with an excellent chance of taking yellow fevir. What a flue example Wood eets of devotion to duty, of the determination to do a thing when once undertaken. We can well be proud of Gen. Leonard Wood. Secretary of War Alger has stiffened his backbones and replied to tho nu merous stories that be would resign. He says lie has no intention of resigning—which is a misfortune to the people and the army- that he has never retired nnder fire and does not now propose to do so. It Is true the record shows that be retired during the war between the states when tire was expected. The secretary in timates that he is proud of his record as secretary of war, which is more than the people are proud of.

They have been competent, , faithful soldiers, well officered, and the recognition of this fact by Gen. Otis in II making bis recommendations is most gratifying. The officers selected by Gen.

It is safe nesday nud Thursday, August 2d and 3d. All horticulturists, fruit growers, and progressive agriculturists are earn- cstly and especially invited to send sneb articles for exhibition as will make the display of Georgia-grown fruits, flowers, and vegetables credita ble to the skill and progress of its people. It is earuestly hoped that there will be a fnll attendance of members from every section of the state, that concen trated information and experience of frnit growers may be obtained, thns aiding tho society to perfect the sever al catalogues of frnits and vegetables adapted to each geographical division of the state. Thcao catalogues are now the recognized reliable guides for frnit growers of Georgia, and have had a most wonderful influence in developing its fruit-growing interests. Tho society was organized iu l*?o by a few public-spirited eitizens who have faithfnlly labored since to promote the fruit-growing industry of Ueorgis and aid iu the higher education of its peo ple. They have paid with their purse and person, not only freely giving their labor, hnt paying for the publi cation of its proceedings, which baie been distributed free of charge when over they could serve the aims of tho society. The only revonno of the socie ty is derived from the annual member ship fees, and as this is limitied the society is hampered in its scope. The Southern Express company, with its usual liberality and interest evinced in the success of the society, will carry free of charge all packages of fruit, flowers, and vegetables intend cd for the exhibition. GEORGIA WOMEN AT THE FAIR. jhigbly cultured widow who lived in i of flie u'ij.lining counties. She CHANCELLOR WALTER B. HILL. The olection of Hon. Walter B. Hill, of Macon, chancellor of tlie State Uni versity, ia abont tho beat piece of work the board of trustees ever put in. Mr. Hill ia 0110 of the purest men in Geor gia. Hc is a man possessed of a big brain and a heart of pure gold. He is able, (me, honest and fearless. He is not afraid to do right, and what's bet ter ho knows wbat right is. Mr. Hill is a Georgian to the manor born. He is an able lawyer of national reputa tion. He knows the wants and needs of our State University, and will be fonnd doing all he can to build up the old college and will bring her np to the standard of other universities. The Times-Rocorder congratulates tho trus tees on their wise selection and the University on its good luck in having each a great and wiao man for eban- ellor. The horrora of life in the Philippines appear to have no terrora for qnite a number of the bloods of Georgia who never did have a job ami couldn’t hold down one if they were fortnnateenongh t) get ono. Aguinaldo has covered more ground on foot than any living man. Preparation for the coming state fair to be held in Atlautn in October next lias been going on with n vim, and ns the time approaches the work of pushing Georgia's great fndnstrial exposition forward is assuming wide spread magnitude. This seems a splendid opportunity for the club women of Georgia to show their clever genius and well earned ability by taking a lively interest in the Woman's Department of this great fair of 1HU9. They now have a unique opportunity to put in practice what they have been advocating for years in their federation meettngs to pnt forth their great influence for the good of the women of Georgia by devising ways and means whereby the indus trious and overworked women of our rural districts iu Georgia can corns, bring the fruits of their labor and join in making tho Woman's Department the most attractive and creditablo in tho state's- history. There are quite a number of success ful farmers among our Georgia women. Some of them aro blessed with n rich share of this world’s goods, nml can look with pride on their broad fields of waving corn and hundred of acres of blooming cotton. They are farming for pleasure as well us profit. Past experience reminds us that there is a great deal of solid comfort and happiness to bo derived from prof itable farming, thns communing with nature where God, in His divine wis dom, teaches some of His most won derful and beautiful lessons. Rnt there aro tboso of onr less fortunate women who only see and’ experience the rugged aide of this farmiag pic- tare. Their daily labor is ono of stern necessity inspired only by love, for they most toil from snn until sun do ing with all their heart, sonl and Btrength their pait to make the little farm on the old red hill side eke ont a scant, honest living for their helpless and often dependent families. It is this class of Christian wornon wo want to reach and help. May God bless them. Their peaceful struggle for existence ia as bravo and heroic as the Spartan mother. Let them he led out of the briar patches and shown the paths to remunerative labor. Now’s tho opportunity for the clnb women and the press women to put into prac tice their excellent theories so often expounded from tho rostram. Let them torn their talents, time and en ergies to aid and edcoarage these kindly souls by inspiring them to bring to perfection their wares and handiwork, fetching same to the state fair, where they con make a proud ex hibit of their honest labor, and have opportunities to share in the list of rewards which will come to every faithful toiler who has tried to better self and state. I recall an instanco that happened some years ago. I was very busy in my office, mixed up in a miserably knotty political fight that required my every energy to try and manipulate for my candidate. In the midst of this turmoil I had a letter from a poor but Woman’s Mission. Successful compel it ion in any field defends on physical health. I A 1A/ITYY T A questions about \lx VI I 8 ] A woman's future > .Ai*X£.L/AXxA\ aro constantly a asked. Shall women vote? Shall they practice law? Shall they compete with men in every field? W hatever woman's mission may finally be de clared to be. It is certain that something must be done for tier physical health. Ignorance, superstition nml mystery sur-’ round woman's delicate organism. Heroic efforts to endure pain is part of woman's creed. Many women's lives arc a constant struggle with lassitude; many are violently ill without apparent cause, and few indeed arc in normal health. 4 This is all wrong and might be different if women would follow Hr. Hartman's ad vice. Perhaps the most practical printed talk to women to be found anywhere is in Hr. Hartman's bool; called “Health and Iloauty," which the Pc-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, (>., will mail free to women only. It is certain that Dr. Hartman's Pe-ro-na has proved a perfect boon for women Vs diseases of the pelvic organs. It treats them scientifically and cures them permanently. AR druggists selt it. ■ " I received your book and commenced the use of your medicine at once,*’ writes Mrs. II. 1). A moss of Greensboro, Ga., to l)r. Hartman. "I took five bottles of Pe-ru-na and two of XIan-a-iin. I feel like a new woman. When I eoimnericed taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own work and can walk to church. 1 shall never cease to thank you for prescrib ing for tne. I hail lieert under the treatment of two doctors blit never received any benefit until I commenced taking yonr medicine. I wish every woman who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books. May God bless you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as 1 was.” Fifty thousand women will be counselled and prescribed for this year free of charge by Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O. All women suffering from uny disease of the mucous membrane, or any of the peculiar ill* of women, may write to him and the letter* will receive hit personal attention, c Write for special question blank for women. a ple-l mv forgiveness b r troubling me as she bad never met me, but stated that she bad forty pounds of fresh but ter to sell and couldn’t find a market for it any nearer home, ami urged me to make an immediate sale for her, stilting she was iu groat need of the money to | urcknso a young dangbter's modest trousseau for her commence ment, which day was near at hand. In the great worry and rush of work, which it didn’t seem possible for me to accomplish in (he time allotted, the temptation was great to pnt the letter aside unnoticed, hnt I looked at it again and discovered tear marks on the otherwise neatly penned pages. A rush of thoughts came over me which Idid not and conld Dot resist. I pnt myse'f in that anxious, loving mother's place, nml for tho time being all other matters wero sidetracked, and in less than an horn s time the butter was sold and a check for the money on the way to mako happy that mother’s heurt. A letter came soon after telling me the great joy of that household, which was worth more than tho credit of a hundred meaningless political victories, even if credit should ever be given for such. I could go on nud mention scores of minor instances of the kind, bnt they come simply as a pait of my every day life and can be of no possible public interest. Now in all truth there soems n great work ahead for the progressive women of Georgia to take np and carry to suc cessful operation. Will they do it? They can if they will. I am proud to note that there has never been a state fair or an industrial exposition held in Georgia lint that Sumter county made a most creditable exhibit of frnits, veg etables, farm products and a hundred other articles too nnmerons to mention, capturing many money prizes of value. Much of the credit for this good work most be and has been accorded to a woman, M ss Mollie Rutherford, one of Snmtcr connty'ajmost industrious, cultured and energetic women. Miss Rutherford is a genius of the most kind. There is uothing on the farm she canuot create into usefnl and beantifnl designs, which has given Sumter county ranch of bor reputation in state agriculture and horticultural history. Sho has invented a model cake pan, which certainly takes tho cake for beauty, shape and excellence in its baking qualities, ami what's more Miss Rutherford treated bor friends to frnit cake Christmas baked in this pan, and every ounce of frnit, wine, ingre dients, etc. in tho cako was a product of her farm. The cako was delicious and conld not have been told from that furnished by a city caterer. Want of means and facilities alone prevents Miss Rnthcrford from measuring np to the most successful and advanced wo men farmers of the great West. Would that the county officials of each connty in Georgia might be em powered by law and a personal wil lingness to belp along such deserving women, for they can be found all through Georgia. Let the club women seek out these deserving sisters and aid them in commg'to tho state fair with an exhibit which will reflect credit on the Eui} ire stato of the South and Georgia womanhood, which has never been found wanting in any emergency or duty she was called upon to perform whethcrjthat be iu the dai kest hours of adversity or the heyday of the state's prosperity.

Then I pnt one end of the ear down and fix the next two or three rows and eat them in the same manner, andso;on.” And hc asks is this correct. Unhesitatingly yes. Some fastidious people might say it resembles a rat gnawing n crust of cheese, or a hungry horse taking his noonday repast, but the fastidious never get the real enjoyment out of life.
