This is the season of st reet fairs and carnivals —all of them emi nently hightonod and moral. Deliver us please from such morals. Editor Henry Watterson’s com ments on the “four hundred” are very searching and no doubt he tolls many tilings that are only too true. The Sparta Ishmaelite proposes Senator Bacon for president in 1904. Without a doubt lie is one of the South’s strongest represen tatives today. “The sliuli of Persia is a re former. He has but 05 wives,’ Hay Editor Finch, “whereas Ins father had 1,9110.” Someone should reform the reformer.

A North Georgia man ate fifty roasting ears at one sitting recently on a wager. The funeral was largely at tended, but t he coroner’s verdict was that it was an unwarranted waste of a short corn crop. —.lack- son Argus. All Georgians extend sympathy to Major Charles 11. Smith, bet ter known as ‘‘Bill Arp,” on ac count of his recent illness. No man in Georgia, probably, knows more about the state’s history than he and he has a warm place in the hearts of the people. Thi Federal prison and the daily papers of Atlanta, must be in partnership, the prison agreeing to liberate a prisoner at stated intervals in order that the papers may have a thorough-bred sensa tion when business is a little dull in t he news line. A newspaper advertisement has resulted in the reunion of a brother and sister who had been generated for ton years. It seems a bit indel icate to urge our wares upon the public, bu t contemporaneous events prove their value. Time and again newspaper advertising has been shown to be the right method of reaching the American people—Savannah News. Throe things are necessary in an advertisement in order to make it “puli.” The first essential istliat it shall contain some line or lines that shall arrest the attention; secondly, it must have matter in it that will hold the attention until all of the facts have been read and digested; thirdly, it must give assurance of something that will be to the advantage of him who reads. These three facts should be kept constantly in mind by the writers of an advertisement. — Printers’ Ink. AN APPEAL.

Henry Watterson, the famous Kentucky editor, is pitch ing into New York society and no doubt what he says will have a good effect there and elsewhere. If what he says is true, his expos ure will warn the society leaders of other sections and maybe save the country from many disgrace ful scenes. Here is part of wlmt Mr. Watterson says: “The term ‘smart set’ is adopt ed by a bad society to save itself from a more odious description. The distinguished trait of the ‘smart set’ is its moral abandon. “Its women are equally deprav ed with the men. They known all the dirt the men know. They talk freely with the men of things forbidden the decentest virtues; that passing vis-a-vis or at table i which was once excluded as un clean by gentlemen from the smok ing room. “The women of this ‘smart set’ no longer pretend to recognize virtue even as a feminine accom plishment. Innocence is a badge of delinquency, a sign of the crude and raw, a deformity, which, if j tolerated at all, must carry some promise of amendment. The only thing needful is to know it all. “In London and Paris, at Monte Carlo in the winter, at Trouville Aix in the summer, they make life one unending debauch ; their only literary provender, when they read at all, the screeds of D’An nunzio and Bourget: their Mecca the roulette table and the race course; their heaven the modern yacht, with its luxury and isola tion. The ocean tells no tales, and, as the ‘smart set’ knows no law, when in extremity it can go to sea. “Truly, we have come to a beau tiful pass if the simpering John nies and the tough girls that make Sherry’s and Delmonico’s ‘hum’; that irradiate the corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria with the exhala tions of their unclean lives and t houghts, emulating the demimon daines of the third empire, are to be accepted, even by inference, as the 'best society’ while the good and virtuous of the land, even though quite able to pay their way at home and abroad, must be releg ated to the ‘middle class,’ or dis missed as simple burgeoise.” At The Congregational Church. Rev. Rolfe Hunt will preach at the Congregational church next Sunday. Everybody is invited to come out to hear him. No doubt he will have a good congregation as he is an excellent preacher and has many friends in the city. Itnrncsvillc Itoys Succeed.

Franklin of this city and was formerly a cadet in Gordon Insti tute. Dr. Franklin is making quite a success as a dentist at Jackson and is building up a good business. It is gratifying to his many friends here to learn of his doing so well. Some Fine Corn. Mr. J. W. Stafford, senior mem ber of the large mercantile tirm bearing his name, exhibited hero last week specimen ears of corn from eighteen acres on one of his farms near the city, which he thinks will make him 1,000 bushels. The ears of corn are large and well developed and it is said will shell a bushel to 00 ears on an average. 'This corn was pro duced on a fine piece of bottom land. Of course this is an excep tional yield, the corn and cotton crops througout. this section being somewhat below the average this year.
