Advertising rates reasonable, and furnished
upon application.
It is reported that Port Ar
thur has been captured by the
Japanese.
The erav of spring chickens is
is being put on the market, but
the price is still high.
The farmers have their crops
in excellent shape now and “lay
ing by’’ will be an easy matter.
The crate factories cf the
state are rushed with orders to
handle the peach crop.
If this drought continues the
hay crop will be a mighty small
potato in this section.
The “big four” may now pre
pare for St Louis, the conven
tion and “the pike. ))

Georgia peach shipments have
begun and money will soon be
plentiful in the peach-growing
sections.
No news is good news it is
said; so if the Messenger is some
times dull take occasion to feel
thankful.
It will soon be up to Mr.
Hearst to prove himself either a
bolter or a Simon pure Demo
crat.
Silence is sometimes more ex
pensive than words, Let Par
ker alone; who knows what he
has up his sleeve?
The Democratic nominee for
president in 1908 should be a
southerner. The South has
been silent long enough.
The Japanese continue to win
the applause of the whole world.
And Russia is torn by domestic
strife. Who can foretell the
outcome of the war?
A nervy Alabama editor has
the following to say: . All things
are not what they seem; for in
stance, did you ever squeeze a
society girl?
The editor of an exchange
says that the women whose hus
bands have no bad habits v*hat
ever, usually have to take in a
little sewing to help pay the
bills.
If the red ant of Central Amer
ica is a destroyer of the boll we
vil, as is claimed, the Texas cot
ton crop will assume large pro
portions again. Down will go
the price.
Jim Griggs and your uncle
Obediah Stevens seem to have
received it in the neck at the
state convention. Who knows
but what Hearst may yet be the
cause of their political down
fall?
The Messenger is in fovor ol
the legislature making more
stringent laws in the state for
the preservation of fish and
game. We would be glad to see
a law prohibiting the seining or
netting of fish at any time.
There is very little true sport i
seining or netting, and there is
always a tendency to waste
where either is done successful
ly. We venture the assertion
that hundreds c f young fish have
been destroyed upon the Och
iocknee river during the di y spell
of the past few weeks which if
let alone would in a short while
have furnished royal sport to
some angler. If seining and
netting were prohibited entirely
it would only be a short while
before a fellow could easily go
out with hook and line and catch
a fine chance of fish—enough
for any ordinary familv—with
out any waste at all. Fish traps
are another menace to the sport
and should be abolished entire

A rural friend suggests this
Same old story,
Same old song,
Plowing of a Balaam
All day long.
Same old furrow,
Same old pace,
Nearing the end—
Then right-about face.
Same old woodoeeker.
X
Same dead tree,
Digging for his living
The same os we.
Same old summer,
Same old fall,
Yet the harvest time
Brings cash for all.
A Curious Chinaman.
What a very cuiious person
the Chinaman seems to us!
When he meets a friend he
shakes his own hand, not his
friends.
He keeps out of step when
walking with any one.
He puts his hat on, instead of
taking it off, when he wants to
be polite.
He whitens his boots instead
of blacking them.
He rides with his heels instead
of his toes in the stirrups.
His compass points south.
Often he throws away the
fruit of the melon and eats the
seed.—London News.
