Hour to Make a Town.
This 13 the question that has been
given the greatest consideration by the
press of the conutrv, the. solution
of which is not an easy matter. Refer
ring to it an exchange says: “The
proper wa- to build up a town is to
cither run it with vim or else to sell out
and leave. Men who are always going
to get out of business never do help to
build up a town. Either run a thing for
all it is worth, get up steam and keep it
up, or quit the whole thing; slide out
and let nature take its course. If Basi
ls to come to you speak a good
word and encourage those who do come.
If you want a prosperous town, to which
people can come who propose to make
homes with you, then do away with and
bury from sight all jealousies and spites,
growling and fault finding, work no more
for a few individuals, but all work for a
common prosperity and mutual benefit.
Wake up and rub your eyes, roll up
your sleeves and go to work with a vim.
Don’t work with fear and trembling, but
take it for truth that “blood will tell.”
In this day of booms and plunges the
old croaker must go, pessimists and pull-
backers can have no place in the mod
ern procession of progress. Live men
only can make a town.”—Mobile^ News.
Robbers Get $20,000 in Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 15.— John A. Drake,
president of the Indianna, Illinois and
Iowa Railroad Company, was sandbag
ged and robbed of $20,000 in the office
of the company on the ninth floor of the
Rockery building at 7 o’clock to-day.
Drake had a little hand sachel and wa3
preparing to go out on the road to pay
the employes. He had placed the cash
in the valise and was about to leave the
office when two men stole up behind him
and felled him to the floor by several
hard blows on the head. The treasurer
was knocked nearly insensible and before
he could move a finger in self defense he
claims the thieves tore the sacliel from
his hand and rushed out of the office,
slamming the door as they went.
Drake notified the Central station as
on as possible and by 8 o’clock every
detective that Inspector Shae could
spare was put to work on the case.

Live Men Advertise.
From the Macon Evening News.
A printer walked into a certain busi
ness house in his rounds to know who
desired anything in the way of advertise
ments, and noticed that a drummer
stood by the counter with his sample
valise ready to open. “Anything you
want to say in the paper this week ?”
said the printer to the business man be
hind the counter. “No,” said the busi
ness man, “I don’t believe in advertis
ing.” The drummer waited until he was
half way to the door, then slowly taking
up his sample valise, remarked: “Well,
that lets me out. I do not care to sell
on time to any man who, in this age,
does not believe in advertising. I pre
fer to deal with live men. When I
want to strike up a trade with a dead
man I’il go to the graveyard. Good
dav.”

She Saved The Little Bottles.
Everybody knows Dr. J. L. Walker,
of Waycross, the excellent physicun
and kind-hearted genial gentleman.
Well, the doctor had a lady patient in
the country recently, for whom he pre
scribed quinine and furnished same in
capsules. When the doctor was leaving
after the second visit, finding the patient
much better, she called to him as he
getting in his buggy, saying: “Hold cn
doctor, here’s the little bottles that the
quinine was in, I’ve saved them all for
you.” And sure enough, she had taken
the quinine out of the capsules, put it
in a spoon and swallowed it; and s;
the “little bottles” for the doctor.
Some Brooks County Hogs.
Quitman Free Press.
Mr. E. J. Young yesterday sold to
Lawrence W. Hendry, of Macon, 120
head of fine hogs. The hogs would
average 200 lbs. on their feet and were
sold that way at five cents per lb. This
amounts to the snugsiim of $1,200. Mr.
Young runs a four mule farm. In ad
dition to the hogs sold he still has 35
head of hip finest ones left for killiug.

The Quarantine Will Soon be Off.
Another frost or two like the one of
last night and the quarantine will soon
be off. The cold wave which has been
moving south for the past two days,
struck the infected district last night.
Frost and thin ice is reported from
Brunswick this morning. A good hard
freeze is looked for and hoped for to
night There is hardly a doubt that the
end of the epidemic has come. God
grant it.
The Frost this Morning.
The beautiful frost this morning, cov
ering hill and dale, house top and sward
with its mantle of white. A feeling of
thankfulness and general relief prevades
the land, for now we know that the
crobe is dead and that relief for our
afflicted sister city has surely come.
We have every reason to believe that
the frost was general throughout south
and southeast Georgia last night, from
the seaboard west. The cold weather
upon us and it is welcome.

Atlanta, Nov. 16.—The seventh day
of the Christian Workers* stay in Atlan
ta was still on the line of home mis
sions.
An interesting event of the session was
the speech of Robert TJ. Washington, a
young colored man, who was introduced
as the president of the Tuskegeo Normal
and Industrial institute. He made a
brief but telling talk about the work
done at this institute.
He began by saying that if it was
necessary to save members of the Anglo-
Saxon race, which was on its feet, how
much more necessary was it to save and
put on its feet the other and less favored
race.
He laid particular stress on the fact
that this was work done down in the
black belt of Alabama by his own
people. It was carried on there whore
the negro outnumbered the whites three
to one, and great good was being done.
The work was started 12 years ago at
an abandoned cotton plantation, with
one teacher :m«l 30 scholars. Now fhere
are 41 teacher* and officers and 500 stu
dents.

Rohe, Ga., Nov. 16.—Thelatest thing
for Rome in the way of a convention
will be the stock raisers’ convention to
be held Dec. 1.
The main feature of the convention
will be a display of southern raised
horses and fine blooded cows and all
kinds of stock produced on the farms of
Georgia, East Tennessee and North Ala
bama.
The old fair grounds of the north Geor
gia and Alabama exposition will be used
as the place of exhibit and races. The
object of the meeting is to stimulate
stock raising in the south, showing the
pecuniary profit in stock, besides demon
strating the fact that this section of the
south can compete with the cattle rais

successfully.
