We lire awfully sorry but our
Thanksgiving turkey died the
other day—it was an old hen
anyway.
Isn’t it funny why a man will
refuse to take his town paper, yet
he will borrow one from a friend
and read it.
Roosevelt and Bryan are both
gunning for big game, namely:
Roosevelt for bear and Bryan for
David B. Hill.
You should ask yourself daily;
what have I done for the "good of
my town. If your have done noth
ing it counts as a day misspent.
The President’s I tear hunting
reminds us of his trust hunting.
He would like to get a shot at one,
but it wont come within range of
his gun.
President Roosevelt lias been
shooting at the liar promiscu
ously for the last week, but up to
the present lie hasn’t bagged a
single Bruin.
Don’t suppose the negroes would
object to having Tom Dixon for
the Devil, since he declares,
“Were I the devil I would bar the
negro from hell.”
Forsyth has been struck by a
speculative fever. It is said that
thousands have been lost there in
in cotton futures within the last
few weeks.
The special edition of the Rome
Tribune which appeared last week
was a splendid affair. “Twentieth
Century Rome,” was put forth in a
manner calculated to attract
attention to t hat city.
John S. Bilby, of Mitman, Mo.,
is said to lie tho largest individual |
land owner in the United States.
Ho owns about 180,000 acres, 10- 1
cated in seven states. Among
other valuable holdings he hasßs,- i
000 acres in Missouri and 15,000 S
acres in Arkansas.
The successful advertiser is the
one who advertises constantly.
“Keep everlastingly at it brings
success.” The man who comes
before the people occasionally is
not the merchant who gets the
best of the trade. Advertise con
tinually and liberally to insure
good success in business.
A clever woman in New Jersey
has solved the servant girl prob
lem. She fell dead in love with a
man on account of his excellent
cooking, and promptly married
him. And now all the old bache
lors in the country are learning to
cook, says editor, Triplett of the
Thomasville Times.
Editor tilessner of the Griffin
News evidently thinks the negro
will occupy the same station above
that he does on earth, for he says:
“Rev, Lilly is not a Lily White
and says there will be room for
the negroes in heaven. Of course
there will; who would wait on the
angels, if there were no good ne
groes there? But they will mostly
be ante-bellum darkies.”
There are more men in the pres
ent House of representatives who
give farming as their occupations
than any other vocation. Accord
ing to the statistics collected by
Messenger Penn, there are sixty
members who are farmers, fifty
three lawyers, twenty merchants,
fifteen doctors aud ten editors.
The remainder of the total mem
bership is divided between capi
talists aud mechanics.--Cedartown

editors in the penitentiary in

IMMENSE ENGINES PUT
ON CENTRAL ROAD.
TWO MONSTER ENGINES WILL
BE I*IT ON CENTRAL BOAI)
IN A FEW DAYS FOB
FAST PASSENGER
SERVICE.
The Central road received yester
day two immense passenger en
gines right from Rogers Locomo
tives Works in Patterson, N. J.
These iron monsters were in charge
of expert engineers, Rogers and
Page sent by the manufacturers.
The engines were hauled by a
freight train to Macon.
The steam leviathans were sent
to Savannah last night,where they
ill be completed, put into com
mission, and attached to an ele
gant train of cars to be run from
that city to Atlanta. This train
will make its first run in a few
l days and possibly have a run of
fifty miles an hour. Asa matter
of fact, these locomotive master
dons can annihilate space easily
jat the rate of 100 miles every six
ty minutes, if neccessary.
They are officially known as Nos.
! 1600 and 1001. They are provid
ed with powerful electrical head
| lights, the rays of which would
j blind any one looking directly at
j them at night. These Goliahs are
I modern as improved mechanism
off ix' present day can make them.
Their six driving wheels measure
00 in diameter, and their cylin
ders are 10 by 26. They rise 15
feet from the rails, and carry 0
tons of coal, and 6,600 gallons of
wafer. Each engine weighs 2001-
000 pounds. This mass of steel
and iron will make sport of both
space and time.
The numbers 1600and 1601 have
two sisters in the shops of Rogers’
works that will soon join them.
This quartett will be the largest
passenger engines in the South,
and exact reproductions of those
used by the New York Central
road. These mechanical Samp
sons will pass through Macon daily
carrying passengers north and
south at a speed calculated to
make them gasp for breath. They
will also handle mail.
The increased volume of busi
ness on the Central made it nec
cessary to place these tremendous
locomotives in service. Last
night five double headers, carry
ing 250 freight cars, left Macon
for various points over the Cen
tral. The yards were 1 so blocked
yesterday that it was found nec
cessary to take 50 cars to the “Y”
in order to get them a, resting
place. This speaks well for Ma
con, and is evidence of an im
mence business. —Macon Tele
graph.
These monsters will pass through
Barnesville also, and no doubt
some of the natives will become
frightened at their first appear
ance.
1
EXCELLENT ATTRACTION.
Miss Ev* li. Dunning, Noted Header
and Impersonator, to Appear
Here Very Soon.
On Monday evening, Nov. 24th,
the people of Bartlesville will have
ail opportunity of witnessing some
thing good.
Miss Eva L. Dunning, of Colum
bus, 0., will give ail entertain
ment in the Opera House. She
comes as an impersonator of “Mrs.
Wiggs’ Cabbage Patch,” and it
promises to be interesting.
The press speaks very highly of
this lady as a reader and imper
sonator. “She is one of the best
known elocutionists, and herabil
ity is of a high order,” says the
Landmark, of Norfork, Ya.
The admission will be very rea
sonable —only 26, 85 and 50 eta,
and should Lie liberally patron
ized by the people of this city.
You may expect to have a good
entertainment, and you can rest
assured that you will get your
moneys worth.
The consensus of opinion favors
newspaper advertising above all
other forms. In no other way
can the merchant reach the people
he wants to patronize his store so
cheaply or so effectively. In the
respectable newspaper there is
nothing to offend good taste. The
newspaper gets into the homes of
the people, where all the members
of the family read the advertise
ments. The paper is purchased
by the head of the family, and the
advertisements are a part of the
purchase. The newspaper adver
tisement has a value that no other
j form of advertising possesses.—Ex

Editor News-Gazette:
Statement iiUtlie last issue of
your paper in regard to the pro
posed settlement of criminal cases
against Col. J. J. Rogers and Mr.
G. E. Huguley, officials of New
South Saving Bank, are mislead
ing.
We do not wish to do Col Rog
ers or Mr. Huguley an injustice,
but it is not true that the crimi
nal cases against them have been
settled and dismissed. Nor is it
true that the-* ‘ basis of settlement
is that they pay to the bank the
amount each were due at the time
of the failure.”
All that can be stated as a fact
is that a statement is proposed
and it is hoped that a settlement
will be reached, but as yet there
is nothing certain and definite
acc implished. The undersigned,
a committee representing the in
terests of the depositors of the
bank, much prefer a satisfactory
! settlement to a trial of the cases,
!to the end that the depositors
| may realize something on their
! losses. We ask that you give this
1 correction a place in your paper
that all concerned may understand
