We wish to call attention, especially
to tho fact that there Is one class of
people that have suffered Yery littlo
from this panic, olther in the South,
North, East and West. That class
is the farmers. Unless they had
heard it talked or read it, they would
hardly have known that there had
been a panic, as they have almost in
variably had plenty of corn in the
crib, and meat In the smokehouse, to
carry them through another harvest
ing seosou, even though the paalc had
t?rday afternoon Dec. 31, 1907, about
5 o'clock and application was made
for a temporary restraining order.
Tnis application was denied, where
upon cou&sel asked for a rule to
.show cause on the defendants why an
Injunction pendente liie should not
Issue.
After a careful examination of the
bill 1 am thoroughly satisfied that an
injunction pendente llte cannot and
will not bo granted. This being true,
it it unnecessary to call on tho de-
lasted that long. Many one out of em- fondants to show cause as requested."
ployment and many a merchant, mech
anic, and of almost all trades during
tho last three months have wished
that they were the owners of, and oc
cupying a farm and farm house, al
though it bo unpretentious and only
a cottage, farm house, as there is no
place like home, swcot home.
We wish to call attention to those
desiring to purchase farms, or farm
tracts, to tho fact that they can do so
oa liberal termB. We have surveyed
several 10 and 20 acre tracts, which we
are offering on terms running over a
perlod^of .over.. four- yearr- 'W e "Will
survey out and sell you a tract any-
whore you wish it, wncrc we may own
It.
Another fact, that haB been clearly
demonstrated during! uie panic, is
that farm tends have been the most
stable and safest Investment of any
thing else. Land is constantly en
hancing In value and cannot lose on
account of depredation, land does not
shrink like stocks and bonds. Lands
do ant lio^down and die like live stock
Land does not bum up nor blow away
like timber. There Is only so much
tend in this country there can bo no
expansion or contraction of same. It
remains the same. Immigration pour
ing into this country at be rate of
about one million per month, beside
the natural Increaso of the present
population, It cannot bo Jong, before
these tends will bo bought up and
more wanted.
Remember that South Georgia lands
that can be bought now at $5.00 per
acre will produce from $700 to $200
worth of cane syfup per acre and will
also produce from $50 to $100 of sea
Inland cotton per acre. It will produ
ce-$100 to $200 per acre In aweet pota
toes. It will produce corn from $50
to $76 per acre. It will produce In
truck farming, cabbage, turnips, on
ions, Irish potatoes, peas, tomatoes,
lettuce and other garden truck equal
to any other section In the South.
We call attention also the splendid
market for poultry, eggs, pip, beef
and dairy products.^ It la easy to have
all these on tho farm.
There is no other market better
than the local Waycross market for
farm truck. Isn’t it about time you
were thinking over these matters?
Please consider them, asking your
self If you should not own a farm tract
If you cannot build now, you can build
later.
We wish to emphasize tbe fact that
there Is no better time to buy than
at present. We have the land. We
want you to have it. Consider this
question and como to see us. We will
make you satisfactory and liberal
terms.
We own farm land* In several dif-
The defendants in the case, whom
the plaintiff hrewelng companies
sought to enjoin from the enforcement
of the law, were the solid torn of the
various criminal courts in Atlanta, the
sheriff of Pulton county and Atlanta's
chief of police.

SEA SILK.

spiders which spin a beautiful gosam-

has been woven even by tbe spiders

enterprising shellfish which la its
watery home among corals and flow
erlike amemonea deep down in the
Mediterranean spina a silk Just aa
fine in texture and beautiful to the
eye as any ono could wish to see?
It would not quite do to caU this sub

not exactly like that, though It

Daughters Ac His Brida.
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Many years ago I read a pathetic
story, which is constantly recalled to
mind as the duties of this compila
tion compel me to read the records
of post years and reperueo the long
closed leters of my beloved and live
over again the bappy days when we
were all in all to each other. I do
not remember all the details of the
incident which so Impressed me, but
the chief facts were these:
A married couple were crossing one
of the great glaciers of the Alpine ro
llons when a fatal accident occurred
The husband fell down one of tho
huge crevasses which abound
all sides and help could
bo rendered, nor could tin
body be recovered. Over tho wlfo'i
anguish at her loss we muse draw
the veil of silence. Forty years m
terwards saw her, with the guldo who
had accompanied them at the tlmo
of the accident, staying at the foot
of the glacier, waiting for the sea o’.
Ice to givo up Its dead, for by tho
well known law of glacier progress
ion tbe form of her long lost husband
might be expected to appear, oxpel
led form the mouth of tbe torrem
about that date. Patiently and wick
unfailing constancy they watched and
waited, and their hopes were at las;
rewarded.
One day the body was released fror.
its prison In the Ice, and tho wife
looked again on the features of him
who had been to long parted from her
But the pathos of the atory lay In the
fact that she was then an old wo
man, while the newly rescued body
was that of quite a young and robust
so faithful had been the crystal cas
ket preserved the jewel which held
it so long. The forty years had left
no wrinkles on that marblo brow.
Time’s withering fingers could not
touch him in that tomb, and so for
a few brief moments the aged Indy
saw tbe husband of her youth as he
forever.—C. H. Spurgeon’s Autobio
graphy.
NO CLUE TO MURDER.
New York, Jan. 1.—Tho mystery en
veloping the murder of a woman in
New Jersey is seemingly as Impene
trable today as when tho nudo body
was first discovered on Christmas day
partially concealed in tae water and
slime of a lonely pond near Harrison
N. J. Thus far tho detectives have
failed to find a single reliable clue to
tho identity of ihe woman or her slay
er. Tho Identification of the dead
woman by Mrs. Hattie Hull and De
tective Draybeo, of Orange, N. J., has
completely collapsed.

A social event of much Interest In
this section was tho wedding yeswr
day afternoon at Fairfax of Mr. B.
S. Gibson, n prominent young busl-
tnau of Eutaula, Ala., and' Miss
Htetello Bunn. The marriage occurred
at 5 o'clock In tho Methodist church
