THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.
Few things arc; more facinating
than the poultry business, and at
the same time it is also profitable.
There are quite a number of peo
ple in and around Barnesville now
devoting attention to the business,
either for the pleasure or money .
in it, and nearly every farmer’s
family engages in it mop or less.
Many a woman’s heart has been
made glad recently and her wants
supplied because eggs have been
bringing from fifteen to twenty
five cents per dozen. It seems, too,
that the hens have been doing
their full duty for some time past.
Gainesville, Ga., is probably
the most important poultry mar
ket in the state, the annual busi
ness there running up to $500,000
or more.
Avery interesting report was
issued from Washington u lew
days ago about the business. It
shows that of the 5,7811, 087 f arms
in the United States, 6,090,252 re
ported poultry. The total num
ber of fowls three months old and
over reported were us follows:
Chickens, including guinea fowls,
288,508,085; turkeys, (1,200,807;
geese, 5,(17(1,8-18; ducks, 4,80 < ,858.
The number of nearly all these
classes of poultry are smaller as
reported in 1900 than 1800, owing
to the fact that in 1800 they re
ported nil fowls of whatever age, ,
while in 1000 only those three
months old and over were reported.
The eggs produced in 1800 were
1,208,810,180 dozens against 810,-
122,912 dozens in 1808. The value
of poultry on hand June 1, 1900,
was $85,794,005; the value of
poultry raised in 1800 was SIBO,-
801,877, and the value of eggs pro
duced in 1800 was $144,280,158.
The total income of the farmers
from their poultry industry in
1800, representing the total value
of eggs produced, as well as the
poultry raised, was $281,178,085.
This total makes the poultry in
dustry one of the largest connect
ed with agriculture.
It would lie well for the people
of Pike county and of the country
at large to devote more attention
to the poultry industry.
Henry Wattersou is trying to
make up the democratic party,
and if it follows his suggestions
made in a speech at Washington
Monday it will be successful.
Mr. W. J. Kincaid, of Griffin,
and Editor A. H. Shaver,'of Jack
son, have been appointed by Gov.
Candler to represent the Sixth
district on the board to get up ex
hibits for the St. Louis Exposi
tion next year. Two good men
for a very important work!
And now it is said that eating
hog meat produces cancer. There
will doubtless be a good deal more
cancer since this discovery has
been made.
Hon. Charles L. Moses is being
urged to become a candidate for
the legislature from Coweta coun
ty. He is an ex-congressman and
would make a useful member of
the Georgia legislature.
Mr. Aaron French, who has'
given SIB,OOO to the Georgia Tech
nological school, died at his home
in Pittsburg. Pa., last Sunday.
His memory is honored by Geor
gians for what he has done for
this institution.
We believe that Hon. W. .1.
Bryan is anxious to be nominated
a third time for the presidency.
It will be a serious mistake for
the Democratic party to do so.
however.
Prof. W. 13. Merritt, Dr. Mark
W. Johnson, Prof. G. R. Glenn
and Rev. A. J. Beck are in the
race for state school commission
er and it is growing interesting.
Prof. Merritt once lived in Pike
and the county will doubtless
give its endorsement to him.
SPENDING OUR EVENINGS.
We reproduce with pleasure and
commendation the foil owi n g
timely and sensible editorial from
the Atlanta Constitution under
the heading above. We hope it
may accomplish good, especially
among the young men of this
community and elsewhere, who
need to read it and think of the
question seriously. The editorial
is as follows:
“Success in life is largely de
termined by judicious economy
which men make of time, and j
though each hour of the dayj
counts for something in the build |
up of character, the hours which!
arc most effective in determining
who shall take precedence in the
competitions of life are the ones
which come with the eventide.
Tli is statement may sound
rather far-fetched at first, but if!
we will put on our thinking caps
we will find that it nearly approx
imates the truth. Take for ex
ample the men who under mis
taken ideas of relaxation spend
their evenings in carousals and
dissipations. Are they the men
who succeed? We feel perfectly
safe in answering this question in
the negative. Such men may not
be conscious at first of the debili
tating effects of the losses which
they incur in prosecuting this
course of self-indulgence, but if
persevered in it is sure to, bring
about physical and intellectual
deterioration and they will sooner
or later find themselves dropping
behind their rivals in business
and wondering why it is, when
the secret of it all lies in the fact
that they have misapplied the
time which they should have
spent in gathering new ideas from
wholesome reading and in getting
themselves ready for the busy ac
tivities of the day ahead. On the
other hand take men who, real
izing the need of keeping apace
with the progress of the world,
spend their evenings in an effort
to inform themselves concerning
what is going on in the world
around them or seek in other ways,
without taxing themselves too
heavily after the work of the day
is over, to gather new ideas from
wholesome books or from helpful
conversation with those around
them whose habits of reflection or
whose ripe experience will enable
them to learn something which
they need to know. \\ ithout ser
monizing we wish to press this
comparison home to our readers
and we venture to say that on
careful investigation it will be
found that the men of ideas in ev
ery community and the men who
are looked upon as leaders of
thought are the men who have
made the best use of the hours of
leisure which have come to them
when the work of the day is over.
What we say on this subject is
not intended for those who are
now well advanced in life and who
are creatures of habit s long since
formed, be they bad or good, but
what we say is intended for the
benefit of those who are just start
ing out in life, and we cannot in
vest the admonition with too
much solemn earnestness when we
say: Young man, be careful how
you spend your evenings.”
The Bullet
Of the assassin may he more sudden, but
it is not more sure than the dire punish
ment meted out to the man who abuses
his stomach. No man is stronger than
his stomach. When the stomach is dis
eased the whole body is weakened.
Dr. Piercv's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
cures diseases of other organs when it
cures the diseases of the stomach, on
which the several organs depend for
nutrition and vitality.

that I have been greatly benefited by them."

A Wonderful Exhibition.
The mind reading and hypnotic
exhibition at the opera house
Tuesday night by Edwin H. Boone
was a highly entertaining show
and has been the talk of the town.
Whether one believes in it or not ;
many things were done which
seem te bo almost miraculous.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Boone j
gave a free test of his mind read- i
mg. Messrs. E. L. lingers. C. 0. 1
Summers, H. 11. Gray and Dr. A. j
P. Kemp wrote a letter to Mr. Jim j
Reeves, went to the postoffice and \
put the letter in a box, took the j
key out Forsyth street and laid it
in the home of Col. Edward A. j
Stephens. All this time Mr.
Boone was in the Pitts-Gray store
surrounded by a big crowd and
could not possibly see what the
above gentlemen were doing, and
they say that he did not know.
When they returned from hiding
the key, Mr. Boone got in the
carriage with them, was securely
blindfolded and given the lines.
He then drove in a run to Mr.
Stephen's home, found the key,
drove back to the postoffi.ee, went
straight to the exact box, opened
it, took out the letter and deliver
ed it to Mr. Reeves at his store.
Many things were done at the
opera house just as marvelous as
this. One of the most amusing
' was the hypnotizing of about a
do/en school boys. They were
completely under his influence
and their conduct while being
in this state was interesting and
exciting. It was quite an inter
esting entertainment throughout
and had a large audience.

Another l*robble Candidate for
the legislature.
Col. H. 0. Farr, a promising
young lawyer of this section, is
i being urged by a number of his
friends to make the race for rep
resentative in this county. Mr.
Farr graduated at Emory college
last year. Since that time lie has
been engaged in practicing law
and teaching school (mostly in
this county.) He is a son of the
Rev. Mr. Farr, who so ably and
faithfully performed the duties as
pastor of the different churches of
the Milner circuit for the last two
years. Col. Farr has not yet sta
ted positively that he would make
the race, but if he decides to do so,
his friends feel confident that he
i will make a good race. Citizen.
