Vernon two boys, brothers, who could not speak a word in the English language. With their mother they came from far off Russia to join their father, Mr. Aaron Segall, who was a refugee from the Transvaal, where his business was wrecked by the Boer war in South Africa. Our story will refer briefly to Ben Segall, the oldest boy. In a > few weeks after arrival he caught up enough of the English lan guage to enter the Union Baptist Institute here (and in the primer class) and made most astonishing progress in his studies. He grad uated with high rank, capturing a gold medal, and left the insti tution with the highest esteem of the student body and faculty. Three years ago he entered the State University, and told his father to send him sls a month as expense money. After the third he asked his father to discontinue the funds, as he was working his way through college, having saved over S2OO last year, besides rendering as sistance to his younger brother, who is likewise making a record as a University student. Last week Ben graduated from this great institution with high honors—along with the sons of millionaires—but on his own re sources and as the result of his own active brain and untiring efforts. He took the Walter B. Hill prize of SSO in gold for the best essay upon an ethical sub ject; also the L. H. Charbonier prize, for the best senior student in physics, a set of fine drawing instruments, offered by Mrs. J. F. McGowan of Augusta. The avenues of success opened wide for young Mr. Segall before he completed his course, and ho has already accepted the place of principal of the Marietta High School at a salary of S2OO per month. Mr. and Mrs. Segall have reason to feel proud of their son, and it is to be hoped that every Montgomery county boy will read this brief sketch of Ben Segall—and reflect.

Prospects for a large corn crop were never better in this section. A large oat crop has already been harvested, and the outlook for an average cotton crop is fine. With the efforts being made by the farmers and bankers, a fair price is practically assured. It is now up to the farmers to make all the hay, peas, cane, potatoes, etc., they need and then some. With all these farm products in plenty, there is no reason why Georgia, and especially South Georgia, should not experience the most prosperous fall and win ter that she has ever had. To put in a good pea crop and prepare for good hay crop, YOU need a good reversible disc har row. To cut and harvest this crop YOU need and owe it to yourself to obtain a good mower and rake and a good steel hay press. To haul and market all these good things YOU need and must have a good, strong, light running wagon. To ride about and have a good time while these things are growing in the hot August days, YOU need and owe ; it to yourself to get a handsome, ; strong, light-running and dura ble buggy. To cook all the good things YOU expect or should ex pect to raise, you owe it to the ladv of your home A GOOD, LA R< i E AND BEA UTI FU L RANGE OR STOVE. To make j your home look comfortable, hos pitable and inviting, YOU need jand owe it to your family, your ! friends and and yourself a well [selected assortment of tasty n’ew ’ furniture.

E. RUFFIANISM SHOWN AT KOMFRVILLE Attack On Bridal Party Gets Into Newspapers For An Airing. On the occasion of the marriage of Miss Matsie Brewton, daugh ter of Rev. H. (’. Brewton, pas tor here two years ago, and Mr. A. M Lewi, of Florida, the wed ding ui. Ting at the home of the bride’s sister in Homerville on Wednesday of last week, an ex hibition of rowdyism that seldom is shown in Georgia occurred. The bridal party was leaving on an Atlantic Coast Line train when set upon by a crowd of toughs who attempted to spoil the clothes of the bride and groom by using flour, and other things, and one or two of the ruffians were knocked down by the groom before .they desisted. A highly sensational and distorted report of the affair was published in the Savannah News, whichcalled for a lengthy correction published in the same paper on Sunday from Rev. 11. C. Brewton, father of the bride, who was present, hav ing performed the ceremony, and who received a blow on bis ear by one of the disgusting fools who made the assault at the train. There are plenty of good people in Homerville who are not responsible for the conduct of a few low characters hanging around the depots of small towns; but, as pointed out in Mr. Brew ton’s article, railroads ought to have power to protect their pa trons at such places. No Georgia girl even went out as a bride with a more refined and delicate ly beautiful character than Miss Matsie Brewton, and the minnis terial ranks of the state hold no higher example of the consider ate Christian gentleman than presented in the person of Henry C. Brewton. .CO: 0/0 0' 0,0 '©;o 000 ©: 0/00/000.0000/000. ® | HAVE A 1 •0' wwv V 0) 1 BOS|NESS HOME g 0 ('nil today and let us start you on 1 lie* road to to prosper © J* ity.

At, a meeting of the Twelfth District Medical Society, held in Vidalia last Wednesday, the fol lowing resolution offered by Dr. J. W. Palmer of Ailey, will be read with interest by the public: Whereas, There being no changes made in the laws regu lating the practice of medicine in Georgia, the Empire State of the south, for nearly twenty years, none made to keep pace with the progress, stride and ad vancements made in medicine and surgery, has placed Georgia so far behind all the other states in the Union, until Ga. has be come the dumping ground of the U. S. for quacks, impostors, charlatans and incompetent prac tioners, so much until most all the states in the union refuse to recognize a medical license from ■ a., that is, they will not recip rocate with us. Therefore, At the next meet ing of the General Assembly of Ga., there will be introduced a bill to regulate the laws govern ing the practice of medicine in order that the purses, health and lives of the citizens of Ga., will be better protected, and place around the profession such re strictions, protections and re quirements that the medical laws of Ga., will be recognized by other states to the extent that they will be glad to reciprocate with us therefore, be it Resolved, By the 12t,h. Con gressional District Medical So ciety that each and every physi cian see and urge their respec tive Senator and Representative to use their influence in securing the passage of the bill be it further Resolved, That we most sin cerely and earnestly call upon each and every citizen in the 12th. Congressional District to join us in our efforts to g this bill passed, which weassu.-e vou is for your protection and bene fit. more than ours, so we ask that you see that your respective Senator and Representative use their efforts to secure the pas sage of the bill, be it further Resolved, That the Secretary of this Society furnish each Sen ator and Representative in this I )istrict a copy of these resolu tions, be it further Resolved, That the Secretary furnish a copy of these resolu tions to each paper in the 12th.
