Mr S H Rumpli of Marshallvilie is making heavy shipments of blackberries to the Northern markets. *-• 4P » • Mr B L Jordan, a well known citizen of Hawkinsville shot himself through the head Saturday, Ill health and despondency the cause of the rash act. Tkere is a great deal expressed in this sentence from Dunn – Co’s weekly review. The tide of business is rising, even as it was falling two years ago, with surprising rapidity.” The Butler Fruit and Land Company have made arrangements for canning and drying the large quantities of fruits now ripening. This enterprise will pul in circulation a large amount of money and prove a profitable business for our neighbors. It is almost certain that Americus will have that long talked of cotton factory. and the best thing about it money raised at home is going to build it. The two papers have been agitating the subject and we congratulate the editors and the citizens genei ally that the important en terprise is about to materialize. The Peach Carnival to be held at Ma con will give Schley county an opportun ity to show to tlie world what superior fruit can be grown here. We can ex hibit as fine varieties of peaches as any county m the state. By all moans let us make an exhibit that will reflect credit on our county. We can do it if vve try. Who will y>ush the matter? Commissioner Nesbit is hunting a locality where sweet potatoes can tie grown for 20 cents per bushel for a large starch factory. V/e know of no better place than Schley county. Potatoes at 20 cents would pay belter than cotton. We are ready for the factory to be brought here, right away. While the melon crop of Southwest Georgia will be a little late this season, the Herald is assured by some of the most extensive growers of this section that the melons will be larger and of better quality than usual. Such are the indications at present.—Albany Herald. “I guess Dll take them” mused the burglar, safely slipping the silver spoons in his pocket. ‘Tra no darned gold bug.” ••• A woman’s greatest ambition should be to make home happy. The Manufactures* Record sajs: ‘Ev ery thoughtful man must see lhat the Southern movement of men and money is assuming proportions that few would have been bold enough to predict live years ago. The opportunities offered by the South to the capitalists: to the manufacturer or miner and to the farmer are so far beyond what can be found elsewhere that those people me coming Soutn in ever increasing numbers, We could not stop this movement if we would. The tide has turned our way. The destiny of the South as a country is already beyond our control. Senator Gordon To Retire. In a card to the public Gen Gordon lias announced that he will retire to private life at the expiration of Jus present term of office. This is gratifying «» * ° f !unbmoaa pol't.'tans. . ••• The deplorable affair between the trustess and faculty of the Normal and Industrial College has been discussed entirely too much for the good of that Institution. At this distance it seems as if the might have been averted, and all true Georgians earnestly hope that no such disgraceful scene w ill ever be witnessed in this state again. Girl’s, Don’t Flirt. The first question a man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whet tier she is re Spoetable or not; it raises a doabt at once. This being the case no modest girl can afford to indulge in the pastime When the down is brushed from the peach its beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and when a young gill throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming to a maiden, and which so elevates her and enables lier to command the respect of all. she loses her greatest charm and becomes rather cheap and common. Flirting may seem to the giddy and thoughtless girl wonderfully amusing: and she may get the idea that she is fascinating: hut ii is a most degrading thing and should he fowned upon by every young lady who has an ambition to become a worthy and charming young Woman.—Sel. Mrs Grover Cleveland and the babies are summering at Gray Gables. One of the exhibits at the exposition will be a field of cotton planted and cultivated by Mr Geo W Truitt of Troup county. Mr Tru.tt will go up to Atlanta every few weeks to look after his crop, and will have a model cotton patch to show the’visitors. Man, like a fish, would never get into very serious trouble if be kept his mouth shut, Mr James Perdue, an old soldier rt siding at Monroe, Mich was severely af dieted with rheumatism but recieved prompt relief from pain by using Chum bei Iain’s Pain Balm. He says “at times my back wouid ache badly that 1 could hardly raise up. If I had not gotten re lief I would net be here to write these few lines. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm has done me a great deal of good and I feel very thankfully for it. ’’ For sale by J N Cheney – Co. druggists, Ellaville. The value of a good mother can never be estimated. Mrs Susan White, a mill operative was run over by a trolly car in Columbus Friday, and fatally injured, The wheat, oat and corn crops of North Georgia are said to be very fine. The Texas cotton pest is at work in Albania and the farmeis aro greatly alarmed over the ravages made by this destructive enemy to the young cotton. -• Ten days loss of time on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay is any thing but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate, whether he is laborer, mechanic, merchant or publisher. .Jas O Jones publisher of the Leader, Mexiu, Texas, was s.ck in Led ten days with la grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He says; In the latter case I use 1 Chamberlain’s cough Remedy with con siderable success. I think only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first hut for the use of this remedy.’ It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requites t re cisely the same treatment. when vou wish to cure a cold quick y and effect ually give this remedy a trial. 25 – 50 cent bottles for sale by Dr J N Cheney – company.

Coal or wood may be u-ed, and a very hot fire is not desirable. The door iu the hogshead should oe left open to provide air for the stove. The color and flavor of the fruit will be improved by keeping a dish or pan of water on the back part of the stove, to furnish moisture to the heated air. The box need not be tight. A few auger holes should be bored iu tho top of the box to produce a current of not air up through the trays or shelves of fruit. preparation of the fruit. Apples must bo pared, cored, quar tered or sliced. For drying by artificial heat they aro usually sliced. Peaches must bo peeled, halved and pitted. Peeling is sometimes omitted, though the peeled peaches generally sell for two or three cents a pound, more than the unpeeled. Plums and ema 1 pears are dried whole. Grapes an i the her rie.s are stemmed and dried whole a ter careful.picking over. If a farmer has uu hogshead ho can easily with a lew bourns make a substitute for it. Fli'Cl V.
