Tile question wa* asked by a lady friend ot mine the other day. Sho had just returned from a- visit to an Alabama town and was In ecstncies over bicycle riding as n healthful ex- ervlse, having seen so -many of her friends over there who had taken up -wheeling as a pastime, I confessed that I didn't know why Macon ladles had not taken up -bicycling. I had seen ladles riding bicycles almost everywhere and wondered why to was that -the Indies of -Macon did not ride. I -heard afterward, though, that there were several ladles who wanted to learn to ride, -but were afraid of too comments of the public, and If a half doxon others .would start, they (would also. I mrt my little friend again two days after my former talk and she showed «me a beautiful little wheel, a Preeant from her hudband, “I’m going to ride, anyway, she avid. "Will (bought me a wheel and said he wanted me to ride It, anil t Intend >to do so. H be don't care, no body else ought to, nnd as I find plea sure In It, I don’t think It's anybody's business. “You don’t know," sho continued, "how many others are going to learn to rid* bicycles, and in a fow weeks' time I think there will -bo enough lady riders to make up a nice club, I'm hav ing lota ot fun and good exercise and I hope toe other laulcs will enjoy It with me," From wb.it I hear, the llrtlc l»dv*- hopes about a ladles' bicycle club will soon be realized and Macon will have a number of tho most enthusiastic wheeltvomen In toe (South. mi A Joke te told on a- wcllknown gro cery motohant who paid a bill nnd de ducted 2 per cent.- for cash.

M. Curry of E&stnvan yesterday, who Is here attending the antt-barroom convention. Mr. Curry Is one of Eastman’s progressive chUzons, and takes much Interest In the peach carnival. He carries about with him a wonderful little Invention known os a folding crate; toy means of which fruits can be shfippedr and reshJpped without the additional expenee of new orates. His little affair folds into a flat BlaBypke shape and can be re turned after a rtrtpraent, and the freight on the return Is reduced to a minimum because of the very rwnall space fhe crate decuples. Mr. Curry has Unterested two very prominent Ma con men In his invention, and says he intends to build a factory hare, Macon being the best crate dlstritoirttng point in the fruit growing sections of Geor- #a. He is also erecting a factory at Eastman, and will have a number of the Grates on exhibition at Mason’s carnival* JThe factory to be established at Macon, says Mr. Curry, will employ about two hundred hands, among the number toeing a great many women and boys.
