In fact hi.s attitude toward women is almost that of a mysognist. His particular bete noire is a very new acquaintance of ills sister. Miss Blank. He met her in the street the other day, and seeing no way out of it, stop ped and spoke lo her. Sac saw how he was fidgeting to get away and said: ‘ You seem very preoccupied. Ah, I know! You are thinking of the you adore.” “1 udore no one,’ was his stiff joinder. ‘‘You cant’ deceive me. I know- are deeply in love. Besides, your ter showed me a photo of the object of your devotion only last night. It isn’t a type I admire. But, there, every one to his taste. I won’t tell any one. Good by.” And before he could reply she w gone. When he reached home he said to his sister: "What girl’s photo did you show to Miss Blank last night?” "Not any. The only puoto I show ed her was cue of yourself.” „ Then it dawned upon him that Miss Blank was driving at.—London Scraps. 500,000 CANS OF PEACHES. One of the biggest new industries that Rome has ir c Vving the "peach problem,” which is of more Interest to North Georgians than the "race problem.” It is the Cothrnn-Fouche cannery, which will put up this season half a million cans of poaches, and which has four hunderd people busily engaged at work. Tho cannery was built by Messrs. H. D. and G. 8. Cothran and Sprouli Fouche. It Is located at the MItchm- el-Cothran orchahrd on the KIngsfon road. Just outside the city limits. It is equipped with the latest and most approved types of machinery, and works like a charm. Tne four hun dred employees, under control of Mr. Will Mitchell and Wlil Lloyd, make the scene a busy one. Of particular Interest to spectators Is the new California peach peeler, which seems to possess almost human intelligence. When a basket of peach es just from the trees is emptied into the hopper, each peach comes out per- ectly peeled. The capacity of the plant Is' thirty thousand cans a day. To date the proprietors have put up 250,000 car.’*, and the plant will run all next week, bringing the output for the season up to half a million. Most of th,e fruit Is from the orchards of the gentlemen who own the cannery, but a consider able quantity for other orchard men has also been handled. Two grades of peaches are canned. The "Fancy” for table use wholesale at $1.40 to $1.75 per dozen cans. The “pie" peaches sell to wholesalers at ninety cents per dozen. The season has been a successful one, and the enterprising owners hfeve demonstrated that scientific canning will pay. The following le an extbact from * n article Dr. W. B.

The newspapers gossips have been amusing themselves with chatter about the fortune of the late Mr. Cleveland, and the latest conclusion Is that It amounted to about a million dollars. This estimate If It is meant to Include Ills wife’s wealth. Is prob ably about right. Miss Folsom, at the time of her marriage, possessed per haps a quarter of a million in her own right, coming from her grandtataer chieffly. Mr. Cleveland was a goo*i manager, conservative, and the chance Is that the property has steadily grown In value. In his private life Mr. Cleveland always made good money, ae yas not a spender In the common acceptance of tne term, and doubtless earned more money than it was nec essary to expend in the ordinary course of events. No clue was given in the will to the amount of property owned at the time of his death, but it Isf probable that li was comfortably near the rail- ion dallars It is no wrated to have been if Mrs. Cleveland’s ownings are included. HTs prudent care of als be- longings might set a good example to people of’substanee. BRAIN LEAKS., Occasionally a good man makes a bad break. Most things wil come your way if you will go after them. Even a crook can hand out a straight tip If he wants to. No, Cordelia, kissing Isn’t always what is is smacked up to be. Most people have too much of one thing and too little of another. Swapping compliments is a good deal like swapping green goods. Our follies give the doctors a chance to make experiments at our expence. The wife of a shiftless man always has an excuse for him. He means well Occasionally the world loves a lov er, but mor.e often It sympathises with him. It’s easy to please a woman after finding out what she wants—but taere’s the rub. Advice as to how to get rich Is about as cheap and profitless as thi other kind ef advice. « If a man continues to pay as much attention to his wife a year after, mar riage as he did during the honeymoor stl!l I eves aer or she has him luffed.—Chicago News.

Crisp for speaker of /he National House of Representative!*, and the statement attributed to him wherein he said re- cenly that he did not vote for a Con federate soldier is correct. Quite recently Mr. Bryan Is said to have declared that he could not go be fore the voters of the Platte (his home) having supported an Ex-Con federate. Denials of this statement have been made by some of his friends, but it Is doubtless correct. The TImes-Recorder yesterday sought Judge Charles R. Crisp, who was his father’s private secretary during his long tenure of office In the National Congress, and asked con cerning the Bryan episode now under discussion. And hi3 3taterr.ont was that Mr. Bry an did not vote for his father, except upon tae floor of the house. In the first caucus, where he was nominated by the Democrats of the House, Bry an’s every vote was against Mr. Crisp. He steadfastly suported Mr. Spring er of Illinois, and only upon the floor of the house, afterwards did he come to the distinguished Georgian with his ballot. This, Judge Crisp states, is, is a matter of official record. Speaker Crisp and Congressman Bryan were good friends, notwith standing, and afterwards Mr. Bryan visited Speaker Crisp at his home here in Americus for several Jays.— Am.erlcus Recorder.

One story i* that she was not wanted it Cleveland because of the report that she smoked cigarettes, and another is to the effect % that an invitation was withheld because she put a tack in the chair of. a delegate At Chicago and the Prohibitionists wouldn’t stand for inch frivolity.
