NOVEMBER 27, 1902.
A New Jersey man 100 years
old says he is not proud of it, as
he was willing to die several years
ago.
About 020,000,000 crossties are
now laid on American railroads,
and 90,000,000 new ties are re
quired annually for renewals.
Herr Krupp, maker of the fam
ous Krupp gun, died at his palace
in Germany last week. He was
made famous by his make of war
guns.
The legislature, like other in
stitutions, puts off the hard
propositions until the last, and
then has a terrible rush of busi
ness at the finish.
President Mitchel, of the Mine
Workers Association, proved a
good match for the lawyers of the
t rusts and they failed to make any
thing out of him on the stand.
Read the advertisments of the
merchants who patronize us. We
commend them to the readers of
our paper. They will do what
they say through our columns.
Even in Maryland we learn that
apple and peach trees are in bloom '
and butterflys as thick as in June, i
Farmers are working outdoors in
short sleeves and instead of win
ter there is a second spring.
Lets everybody take a day <>tV
to-dav and return thanks. We!
all have something to be thank
ful for no matter how hard our!
lot appears, or how gloomy the
prospects for the future. It is
our duty to do this much.
The most solid institutions of
the country are those which ad
vertise freely in the newspapers.
Examine the statistics and you
will find that those businesses
which are most successful are
those backed by a good line of
newspaper advertising.
If you can’t say anything good j
about your town keep your mouth ;
shut. If you know anything
good tell it to the world. If you j
are not satisfied with the condit
ions that surround you move
away. It will be better for you
and for the town. Deliver us
from a chronic croaker.
The Sultan of Jonore, is com
ing to see us, now. He is a hand
some bachelor king, it is said, only
twenty-seven years old. He has
a few wives, but is free to take as
many as he likes; so he may be
interesting to the American girls,
is the observation of the Macon
Evening News.
Newspaper writers, speakers and
investors are constantly talking
of the fact that the south is the
greatest section of the United
States. It is rapidly developing
into the most business portion of
this land and manufacturing en
terprises arc gradually turning
this way.
Here is a lesson in thrift from
an esteemed contemporary. “If
you had begun five years ago to lay
up a dollar a week and put in the
savings bank you would now have
more than o —and in the mean
time you'd have hardly missed it.
The same result can be accomplish
ed in the next five years if you be
gin this week.”

TAX FRANCHISES.
The Atlanta Journal’s position
;on the question of taxing fran
chises, in our opinion, is the cor
rect one, and the present legisla
ture should enact those views in
to law. The franchises of street
rail ways and other such corpora
tions should*be taxed, regardless
of whether or not the state was
in any special financial strait.
This property should bear its
I share of the expenses of the state
1 government. The special appeal
of the Journal in this matter has
been strongly presented, and the
legislature should put such a law
upon the statute books of the
state.

“Was that summer resort as

“I found it to be so,” replied

fuss with the cook regularly every
day.”
LIGHT AND DARK ,
Day ami night, sunshine and shadow
are not more different from each other
than a healthful from n sickly woman.
The healthful woman carries light and
sunshine with her wherever she goes.
The wom u n
on her own hap-
‘ the
fer cannot
smile and sing.
111-health in woman is generally trace
able to disease of the delicate womanly
organism. Many women have l>een re
stored to happiness by the use of Dr.
Pierce's l-'avonte Prescription. It estab
lishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness. It makes weak
women strong, sick women well.
"I feel it my duty to inform you that I had
been a sufferer for tunny years from nervous
ness with all its symptoms and complications."
writes Mrs O. N Fisher, of lfitu Lexington Ave.,
New York. N. Y. ”1 was constantly going to
see a physician or purchasing medicine for this
or that complaint as my troubles became un
bearable. In the spuing of ISO 7my husband
induced me to try l>r. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, After taking one bottle and follow,
ing vour advice 1 was so encouraged that l took
five more bottles of ' Favorite i-reacrijU ion 1 and
then 1 did not take any more for several weeks
as 1 tell so much betler. but .till I was not com
plridx . .serf I commenced taking it again and
felt that 1 was improving faster titan at first. 1
ant not now cross and irritable, and 1 have a
good color in my face, have also gained about
trn pounds In w-eight and one iAoxsohJ 0f com
fortV for I am anew woman once more ”
The dealer who offers a substitute for
" Favorite Prescription ” does so to gain
the little more profit paid on the sale of
less meritorious medicines. His profit is
your loss, therefore accept no sultstitute.

A Barnesville Boy.
The notice below, taken from
the Florida Christian Advocate,
will be read with interest by the
many friends of the young man
! therein mentioned. He is a for
mer Barnesville boy, who left
| here about two yearß ago, and has
! been doing well since his depart
! ure.
He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
Summers and has a large number
!of friends here, and it gives them
| great pleasure to know that he is
succeeding so well and doing
such a good work in the minis
try.
KRUITI.AND AND VOLUSIA CIRCUIT.
“This is a large and laborious
field. The pastor, C. H. Sum
mers, has nine regular appoint
ments, but being young, healthy,
active and strong, and possessing
that wonderful quality which I
characterize as consecreated will
power, he keeps well up with all
demands made upon him. He
does not complain, but accounts
it a joy to ‘bear hardness for
Christ’s sake.’ He is held in af
fectionate esteem among his peo
ple, and is gathering sheaves for
the garner of God.”
A NEIGHBOR OF W. J. BRYAN.
I am glad of this oppotunity to testi
fy to the beneficial effects of Cheney’s
Expectorant. Daring the past winter
it did not fail once to cure my cold or
to give instant relief to coughing.

Lincoln, Neb.

At the residence of the bride’s
mother, Mrs. M. F. Carreker, in
this city, on Zebulon street, Sun
day morning at 9:80 o’clock, Mr.
Allen Arnold and Miss Clara Car
reker were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock, Rev. N. W.
Hurst performing the ceremony in
a very impressive manner. The
wedding was a very pretty one and
was witnessed only by a few
friends of the contracting parties.
The decorations for the occasion
were of ivy vines and hot-house
plants, presenting a lovely appear
ance.
At the appointed time the bride
and groom marched up the hall
way under the beautiful strain of
Mendelshou’s wedding march,
played by Mr. H. E. Reynolds.
The bride and groom took the
marriage vow standing beneath a
horse shoe of violets.
The bride was gowned in a
beautiful suit of grey and carried
a large boquet of bride’s roses.
The bride is a very beautiful
and attractive young lady and has
many admirers in this city.
The groom is a young man of
South Georgia. They will leave
in about a week for their future
home near Thomasville, Ga.
Don’t Let Your Policies Dapse.

surrender and loan values than the
‘Companies themselves for endowment,
tontine and acccumulative policies.
When in force over half their period,
even if the policies are hypothecated
for their full value and even if they are
lapsed for non payment of premiuns or
interest, if they can be re-instated.

Making Improvements.
The Georgia Underwear Com
pany has been undergoing some
i changes during the past week. A
lot of new machinery has been in
stalled by this enterprising con
iceru. Anew engine and boiler
have been put in to replace tin
old ones. A dynamo lias been
added to the plant and hereafter
they will make their own lights.
A number of new knitting ma
chines have been added to their
| equipment, increasing the out put
from 250 dozen to 850 dozen gar
ments per day. Altogether about
S7,(XX) has been spent in improve
ments which Mr. A. O. Murphey
bought on his recent trip to the
north in the interest of the mill.
These improvements, with ad
ditions from time to time, will
make this one of the best equipped
and most modern underwear mills
in the south.
SINCE TIIE ELDEST WAS A BABY.
1 am proud to recommend Cheney’s
Expectorant as a cure for coughs and
colds. I have list'd it with my children
since the oldest was a baby, and have
never known it to fail.

Champion Turnip.
Mr. R. L. Williams compliment
ed us last week by presenting us a
champion turnip. It weighed 8£
pounds and was in good condition
and well formed. This is the
largest that has been brought to
our notice and Mr. Williams has
our thanks for the same. He is by
the way one of that community’s
best farmer’s and citizens and is
doing well.
Interesting Lecture.
Mr. E. W. Rose, of Barnesville,
delivered his interesting lecture
entitled, “Palace and Cottage, or
the Rich and the Poor,” to a large
and appreciative audience, at the
Auditorium, Friday evening.
Though considerably indisposed,
Mr. Rose took up the subject
bravely, and held the attention of
all from start to finish. His lec
ture is based largely upon his
personal experiences as a travel
ing man, and being original, is
all the more pleasing.—Macon
County Citizen, Oglethorpe.
The above complimentary no
| tice will be read with pleasure by
the friends of Mr. Rose in this
! city, as it shows what sort of
reputation he is making on the
. lecture platform.

his automobile. How quickly he
has learned to run the thing.”
Shedd —“Yes: I suppose it is a
faculty that is inherited. His
j father used to be quite an expert
iat the wheelbarrow.”
A LOST MAN..
