It’s a good rule for a business house to live up to, and you can’t do
better yourself than to make it your own maxim. Following this
rule has done me more good in a business way than anything. I can
sometime save a little money in buying, by getting a little off-grade
of goods, or a little light weight, and not many would ever know the
difference, but I can’t afford it. I buy the very BEST goods, and
give the BEST values. lam not selling ut cost, nor do I want your
goods at just what they cost you—every one must have a living
profit—that’s all 1 ask.

the management of Messrs. Pres

Forsyth. They give the mixing
of these goods their personal at

high grade chemicals in the man
ufacture of the goods. The am

They are making the best manipu
lated goods I ever sold, perfectly
dry and free from lumps.
1 am shiping car loads of these
goods to many towns in Middle
Georgia every day. The farmers
appreciate these goods from the
fact that they can be distributed
through Gantt distributors, which
are now used extensively all over
Georgia, much more easily and
evenly than any blood or taukage
goods can be. 1 feel that every
business man in Forsyth as well
as every farmer in Monroe county
ought to appreciate the efforts of
the Chemical Company in making
as high a grade fertilizer at their

The work at this factory gives em

that the Chemical Company will
enlarge their plant at Forsyth by
adding an acid chamber and mak

other grades of fertilizers. This

BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARCH 27?W02.
The Boy and the Bear Cub.
There is a sort of indescribable fascination in having a real wild
animal as a pet. A dog is well enough in his way, and so is a cat, or
pony, or a squirrel; but where is the boy that would not thrill dear
down to his boots with the idea of having a pet bear, or a pet cata
mount? Well, such tilings have been but it never turned out one
half so nice as it seemed at first.
Thereby hangs a little tale. A certain ardent sportsman, a
friend of the writer’s, went to the Adirondacks last summer on a
hunting excursion. While there he and his party killed an old she
bear and captured her cub, a little roly-poly of a beast, about the size
of a Newfoundland puppy. Now, this sportsman had a boy at home
about four years old, whom he had promised that he would “bring
him something” when he returned from his trip. So he concluded
that this cub would be just the thing. It was so young and so very
little that he thought there would not be the slightest trouble in
taming and training it.
Of course, the boy was delighted with his pet, just as he would
have been with a puppy, for he was too young to know or think
anything about the “wild animal” part of it. It seems that the
father came in for that sentiment and took a real pride in the fact
that his boy had a sure enough live bear for a pet. Everything
went along very nicely for a while. The boy and the cub had a;
mighty good time of it, romping in the yard. In fact the cub acted !
pretty much as a puppy would have done under the circumstances.
But as the months passed the cub grew very fast and it was not long
until it was as big as two or three puppies, and it got to be pretty
rough, too. Not maliciously so, but in play, for it could not be
expected to know just how far to go in its romp with a boy.
One day when the boy and the bear were having an unusually
good time on the lawn and there was nobody in particular about, the
family were alarmed by a series of shrill screams from the boy, and
it was noticed, even in the excitement of the moment, that the
screams were growing fainter and fainter.
It seems that the “hired man” was the first to reach the scene,
and he was just in time to rescue the boy from being hugged to
death. Perhaps the bear did not know exactly what lie was doing.
He might have thought he was giving his little playmate a particu
larly strong evidence of his affection, but if nobody had heard the
boy’s screams there would certainly have been a funeral at that
house and the little fellow’s epitaph might have been: “Died of too
much Pet Hear.” —Colorado Weekly Times.
How John Brown Was Captured.
Miss Jennie Chambers, a schoolgirl of Harper’s Ferry at the
time of John Brown’s raid, writes in Harper’s Magazine (January) of
the actual capture of the old abolition leader:
“When the call came from the marines to surrender, Brown
cried out ‘No.’ The men outside brought up a ladder and swung it,
end on, as a battering-rain against the door. The door began to
shake and give way; as they looked they saw Brown, musket in
hand, standing close to the door. Coppic, near him, called out ‘I
surrender.’ Brown said, ‘That's one.’ Thompson was killed. Mr.
Resin Cross, one of the prisoners, told us afterward that lie saw
Stevens lying on his back, and knelt by him asked if he was hurt.
Stevens said, ‘Yes; I have four buckshot in my breast.’ Mr. Cross
had asked Brown to send him out with one of the raiders to explain
to the citizens. Brown let him go, on condition that he would
return. It was then that Stevens was shot. Stevens was picked up
and carried into one of the houses, and in the intense excitement
one of the citizens pointed a gun at Stevens while he was lying on
the bed. Stevens gave him such a piercing look of contempt that
the man seemed paralyzed, and he dropped his gun to his side and
went out of the room. Stevens asked someone to lift him to the
floor, saying, ‘Don’t let them shoot me in bed.’ Miss Christine
Eoitke threw herself between Stevens aud the mob that was rushing
into the room, and kept them from shooting him again. While
Brown was on trial in Charleston, he turned to Mr. Cross and said:
‘Mr. Cross, one word: If things had been different, would you have
returned to the engine-house according to your promise to me?’
Mr. Cross answered, ‘Yes, I would.’ Brown said, ‘I am satisfied.’
“All the prisoners agreed afterward that they could not help
admiring Brown’s iron will and unparalleled bravery. At last Mr.
Cross said to him, ‘Are you not Osawatomie Brown?’ Then lie
answsred, ‘Yes.’ This was the first the prisoners knew of it.
Presently the cry‘Surrender!’ rang out over the musket-shots
and shouts. Brown said nothing. The blows of the ladder had
loosened the fastenings of the engine-house door to such an extent
that the prisoners could see the uniforms of the marines outside.
Brown tried again to fasten the pole of the engine against the door.
Then came a tremendous crash and a loud shout. One of the men
in uniform, Luke Quinn, sprang into the breach, and instantly was
shot down. He was mortally hurt. Another marine, Rupert, fell
before the last volley of the raiders. Then Lieutenant green rushed
in through the door before the raiders ceuld fire a gun, and slashed
at Brown with his sword. Others came after him, and Brown was
twice wounded. Then it was all over. Brown and his survivors
were made prisoners.”
