u tun i flMMOCflT USD 10 BE DSED BI G010HISTS FROM IRE m Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 3.— P. H. Fitzgerald of Indianapolis, Ind., the founder of the old sol diers’ colony located at and about Fitzgerald, Irwin county, Georgia, has just closed a deal with Brobston, Findig & Co., a real estate firm of this city Where by he has purchased colony, 50,000 which acres of land fora new he has organized to bring to Georgia. The lands are located along the .St. Mary’s river, in Charlton county, twenty seven miles from Jacksonville, and ad jacent to the Georgia bouthern and Flofida Railway, This new force of settlers has been recruited from the North west and Middle Western states and numbers several thousand people, Those familiar with the country which has been selected state that it is one of the best sections in the South. A city will be laid out at once along the banks of the St. Mary’s river and will be named St. George. Surveyors under the direction of Capt.G.C.Welch the manager of the old soldiers’ colony, will commence work at ohce. About 400 members of the new colony have already reached Georgia and are now waiting for the survey and allot ment of colony land. It is esti mated that by April 1, 1905, not less than 8,000 to 10,000 people will be located along the St. Mary’s river. Largest Moter in the World. The largest moters in the world are in use in the huge for ests of Canada, where they are used to drag logs over the snow and rough roads. They were specially designed for the pur pose by a Chicago man. One of these machines is capable of dragging a train of 200 tons weight of logs at a speed of 12 miles an hour. It is the only machine in existence which will draw a heavy load through three feet of snow and over stumps and logs a foot in height. It is 25 tons weight and 200 horse power. It travels on four run ners, with a traction wheel in the center weighing seven tons. The machinery is inclosed in a boxlike affair, giving the moter a somewhat strange appearance as it makes way along forest roads. I Indigence is opulence worn threadbare. Society is a machine operated by cranks. Women are never insincere when angry. More women weep over onions than over love affairs. If woman could have her way she would never quarrel. Many a candidate for office gets nothing but experience. The moths always look on the bright side of the flame. Never bet on a sure thing un ess you can afford to lose. Time soften all things—ex cept boarding house biscuits. Nothing destroys the memory of a man like doing him a fa vor. It isn’t necessary to acquire an automobile in order to run into debt. Many a man is driven to the corner saloon because his home isn’t homelike. Man, unlike other objects in nature, decrease in size the closer you get to him. Half a loaf may or may not be better than no bread. It de fends all together on the maker. It sometimes happens that a girl hides the family Bible in order to keep her age hid. Some people are so egotisti cal that they imagine eveiybody they meet is glad to see them. The pessimist makes moun tains of molehills and the opti mist makes molehills out of mountains. If satan’s janitor were any thing like the apartment house brand his tenants -would soon be kicking for more heat. When the average man does a good deed on the sly he is apt to feel put out if his acquain tances fail to get next.—Chica go News. RECTOR OF ST. LUKE’S. Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies To The Good Qualities of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Ashburnham, Out., April 18 , 1903 .—I think it is only right to tell you what' wonderful effect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold anc cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost chok- What Americans Eat. It is figured out that in 1850 a hundred Americans ate 94 sheep, 11.8 hogs and 25 beaves, whereas in 1900 they consumed about 50 sheep, 3 hogs and 30 beaves. Cheese has declined, but if eggs and poultry are in cluded with burter and milk as belonging to the dairy class, the consumption of food of that kind is three times what it was forty years ago. In 1840 100 persons ate 430 bushels of oats, and in 1890 the breakfast food move ment was small to what it is to day. The general gain in vege table expense is 80 per cent. Meat still leads, although, it ap parently will not do so long. Americans have grown healthier i 1 the half century which has seen this change, probably, how ever, on account of more air anc exercise and better cooking anc sanitation. December Cotton Report.
