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. "1 would say in regard to vour medicines that I have been greatly benefited by them." writes Mr. J. S Bell, of Leaudo, Van Buren Cos., I la. " 1 was at one time as l thought almost at death’s door. I win ■\ s _) confined to tnv house MB and part of tiie time - s u to my bed. 1 had takeu callous of merit- vßrp rrin cine, but it only tod the disease: but I must say that ' t'.olden Med ical Discovery’ has ;;;y. cured me. and to-day 1 am stouter than 1 k have been for twenty years am now forty- three years old taken in all twenty-nine - Unties of ' Golden Medical / . aHIgHgS Discovery.’ besides two or l three dozen vials of Dr. \ MDRB Pierce's Pellets, but now I \ v\\ take no medidue." \ Dr. Pierce’s Pleas ant Pellets cure con- jgp stipation.

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. For sale by Morris Jacobs. 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.

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.
