An Example That Will Be Followed. Colquitt county citizens are progressive in the right way. They have subscribed SIOO,OOO to establish a cold storage ware house and packing house. The outlook is that the county will benefit very greatly as a result. It is said several hundred new citizens coming from another state will their homes in the county and that there is to be a great deal more attention paid to cattle and hog raising. Colquitt farmers, like many others in South Georgia, have found that continued warm weather in the winter months has cost them a considerable amount by delaying hog killing. While waiting for a cold snap the farmers have had to keep feed ing their hogs. And then often after the animals were killed warm weather came again and in many instances the meat was lost. The packing house and cold storage warehouse will save the farmers of Colquitt county from losses from those two causes. If a number of other similar enter prises were scattered over South Georgia the result would surely be a considerable increase in the prosperity of this section of the state. It would mean an increase in population, both of men and cattle, and Georgia is anxious to have increases of both.—Savan nah News. Millions In Cash To Flow To South. Washington, D. C., July 31. Tw r enty-five to fifty million dol dollars of government funds will be deposited in the national banks of the south and west at once by Secretary McAdoo, to facilitate the move of crops. Federal, state, and municipal bonds and prime commercial paper will be accepted as security for the mon ey, upon which the banks will pay 2 per cent interest. The motive of Secretary Mc- Adoo in establishing this new policy is to anticipate the money stringency in the late summer and fall, which invariably accom panies the marketing and move ment of crops, especially when the crops are unusually large, as the harvest now beginning forecasts. He intends to take time by the forelock and prevent or minimize the usual tightness of money. A Mighty Good Reason. The benevolent citizen, says the Newark Star, while walking along Park Place, spied a little tot weeping. So he walked up to the child, and said: “Now be a good boy and stop your crying.” The child replied, “I can’t.” “But why can’t you?” “I can’t.” “Well, here’s a cent. Tell me why you can’t be a good boy and stop crying.” “ ’Cause I’m a girl.” Didn’t Follow Solomon. Solomon’s wisdom in the fa mous case of the two mothers and the one child was not more severely tested than was that of a Philadeldhia magistrate who a few days ago was called upon to decide which man of twins was guilty of the offense of flirting in a park. Girls in the park complained that a young man was trying to flirt with them. Policemen hunted him up and found two of him. They were twin brothers and seemed to be precisely alike. Thegirls couldn’t say which was guilty and so the magistrate fined them both. There isn’t any question that one guilty man and one innocent man were punished. So the judge showed himself to be much less wise than Solomon. The feel ings of the innocent brother may probably be better imagined than described.—Savannah News. The Perfect Rose. “Thou art like unto a flower,” warbles the German poet to his love. A certain exasperated old German florist and nurseryman who flourished half a century ago in New York was accustomed to assert with equal positiveness that a flower is like a woman. He had many women customers whose trade he appreciated, but whose demands often drove him to rumple his upstanding Tuetonic boush of hair until he looked like an angry parrot. He finally un bosomed himself to the husband of one of them, whose diary has preserved his words: “1 have so much trouble with j the ladies when they cooms in to j buy mine rose! They wants him hardy, they wants him doub le, they wants himmundtly, they w T ants him fragrand, they wants him nice golor, they wants him eberytings in von rose. I hopes I am not what you calls one un callant man, but I have some dimes to say to that ladies, ‘Madam, I never often sees that ladies that was peautiful, that was rich, that was goot-temper ed, that was yoong, that was in delligend, that was discreed, that was bervection in one ladies. I sees her mooch not!’ ” M ’ Arthur-Phillips. One of the social events of the season and one which is of great interest to the friends of both parties, was the marriage of Miss Ruth McAthur, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. McArthur, to David Phillips, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Phillips, which oc curred Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents near Altamaha, Rev. R. M. Allison performing t le ceremony. The couple left immediately after the ceremony for this city where they entrained for Savan nah, where they will spend a few days. They will go from there by steamer to New York and other eastern points for a honey moon of several weeks, and will return to Baltimore, their future home, about the first of Septem ber. The families of the contract ing parties are prominent in the affairs of the county, and are among the most esteemed and wealthiest of the county. The couple have the heartiest congra tulations of their friends who wish for them all the happiness and success in life possible. — Tattnall Journal. . A New Light On Patrick Henry History. After the capture of Richmond a party of English tourists were in that city chaperoned by an old ! darky, according to the Philadel phia Public Ledger. “What is that building?” said one of the gentlemen to him. “Dat’s a ’bacco warehouse,” said the old man. And then, looking in the direc tion of a high hill, Church Hill, as it is called in Ttichmond, the touring party spied a church at the top. “And what is that building? Is that a tobacco warehouse also?” “Oh, no, sah. Dat’s de church whar Patrick Henry made de : speech. ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ and’fore Gawd dey done give him both.” Notice To Public.
