A correspondent at Sunny Side, Ga.,
writing under date of 27th inst., gives
the following account of a pleasant so
cial event in that vicinity, one of the
principal actors being a former resident
of our city:
“At 7 o’clock this evening a happy
marriage was performed at the resi
dence of Mr. II. M. Gray. The con
tracting parties were Judge B. I). Brew
ster and Miss Emma Gray. The wed
ding was very quiet, the impressive cer
emony being performed by Elder W.
S. Fears, in the presence of only a few
friends and relatives of the two families.
The announcement of the marriage was
quite a surprise to most of their friends.
Both are to he congratulated, and the
best wishes of their many friends at
tend them on their happy voyage
through life.”
Outlook for n Young Doctor.
“If a young man after getting I-is
diploma can get with an established pliy-
sician who will throw the surplus of his
practice in the young man’s way, and
give him the benefit of his long exper
ience, lie will have by far Uie best chance
of success. For here as in all other lines
of work influence tells. My son is a doc
tor who has been in the profession six
years. He makes $10,000 a year, but he
could not. be doing that if he had not had
me to help him. A fair average practice
for a young doctor who has got ordinary
ability, is $2,000 a year. There are many
who do not succeed at all. It isn’t that
young men are so actively opposed. But
when he starts in nothing is known about
him. He has to make his own success at
the start by persistent effort, hoping to
make a hit by the treatment of some hard
case.
It is when a young physician has be
come successful enough to attract atten
tion that real opposition to him is devel
oped. Then others try to crowd him out.
for his success injures them all more or
less. What a doctor needs more than
anything else besides his learning is tact
in dealing with his patients. If he has
tact and perseverance he will be likely to
get on. He ought always to kee*. up
his studies, for a physician is never too
old to learn. The science is constantly
advancing, and it behooves a good prac
titioner to keep abreast of the times. I
am constantly delving into subjects akin
to my specialty, reading on them and
even devoting considerable time to writ
ing about them. And while on this point
I want to say emphatically that a young
physician should riot try to support him
self by’ teaching or any other kind of
work while pursuing his studies. He
should give his whole time to the matter
and make up his mind to be a doctor
with all that implies or nothing.”—In
terview with Dr. William A. Hammond.

Sense Organs of Insects.
In the matter of sense organs we are
met by serious difficulties of interpreta
tion. As said the Danish naturalist Fab
ric ins. nearly 100 years ago, “nothing in
natural history is more abstruse and
difficult than an accurate description of
the senses of animals.”. And this ab
struseness and difficulty is more keenly
felt in studying creatures so widely differ
ent from ourselves as the bee. Such an
insect would seem at first sight to be
about as susceptible to the delicacies of
touch as an ancient armor sheathed
knight. Head, thorax, abdomen, limbs
—all are enslieathed in chitinous armor.
The bee has his skeleton outside. As an
American gentleman once observed in
my hearing, the main difference between
an insect and a vertebrate is this, one is
composed of flesh and bone, the other is
composed of skin and squash.
The question is, how can delicate im
pressions of touch be transmitted through
the tough, dense skin so as to affect the
sensitive “squash” within? If you will
examine one of the feelers of the bee you
will see that the surface is richly supplied
with hairs. It is by means of such sense
hairs that the bee experiences a sensation
of touch. Each touch hair is hollow, and
within it is a protoplasmic filament con
taining, it would seem, the delicate ter
minal threadlet of a nerve. A curious
modification of the touch hairs is found
on the last joint of the antenna. They
are here bent sharply at right angles so
as to form rectangular hooklets.—Mur
ray’s Magazine.

• A Sliam ami a Snare.
Business as it is done today is, in some
of its aspects, a sham and a snare. lr is
in the method jobbers have of placing
goods that many a small dealer finds his
quagmire. Think of the swarms of
drummers which infest the domain of
the retailer. The latter is importuned to
buy, buy, buy everything from a needle
to an engine, until he is far overstocked
beyond the requirements of his trade, and
the result is the many frequent failures in
the commercial world today. The means
by which these drummers induce pur
chases is too long a story to tell. Enough
to say is that each one must sell goods,
and often the most questionable means
are resorted to in order to make sales.
Indeed, whether by salesmen on the road
or in the store, the merchant is so impor
tuned and dogged that he is often in
duced to give an order and an hour after
hardly know what he bought. The
whole idea of business today seems to me
to be pull, haul and scramble, rather than
cool, deliberate, legitimate business.
Hence, I say from tliis system of over
stocking largely results the failures of
small merchants.—L. S. Lavton in
Chicago News.
Signals in Football Playing.
The spectator, during the scrimmage,
can hear an almost constant flow of con
versation from the captain to his men,
exhortations to “play.hard” or “put the
ball through,” or apparently superfluous
information on every kind of subject con
nected with the game. He is really man
aging his team, telling them to whom
the kill is to be passed next by the quar
ter back and what players are to do spe
cial pieces of work connected with the
play. Every sentence has its pregnant
word, conventionalized to mean to the
players something quite different from
the meaning which the opponents will
probably attach to it; and the whole sys
tem. carefully memorized and practiced
for weeks, enables the captain to keep bis
team well in hand throughout the game
Each team has its pet system of signal

The largest shipments of New Goods from the best markets in the country,
which, for style and selection, have no superior.
For fully thirty days J. B. MOUNT ransacked the Northern and Eastern
Markets in the selection of this stock, and never before has he met with such
marvelous success. This trip North will long be held in memory by the people
of Coweta and adjacent counties; for he has thereby secured for them bargains
in every department—truly bargains—that will open the eyes of the trading
public. .
To describe the many novelties, the endless variety, the immensity of his
stock, and the many BARGAINS he is offering, would only result in a faint ef
fort. Nothing short of a thorough examination of his STOCK AND PRICES
can give a proper knowledge of
J. B. MOUNT’S BUSINESS 1
for which purpose lie takes pleasure in extending a hearty invitation to one and
all.
Many competitors would cause the Trade to believe that every man blows his
own horn !—in answer to which J. B. MOUNT reminds the public of the crowds
he has blown together in the past three years, during which time he has distrib
uted his BARGAINS over this and adjoining counties. Such “blowing” the
North Georgia people have, and always will, appreciate.
J. B. Mount guarantees to beat prices from io to 25c. per cent.
J. B. Mount guarantees the largest variety.
J. B. Mount guarantees the largest stock to select from.
Here are facts that he is willing to risk his reputation on—

One case containing 1,800 yards double stamped Prints, something entirely
hew, at 5c.—worth Sc.
1,300 yards New Fall styles Gingliams, the best made, at 10c.—worth 124e.
Every merchant will claim, and justly too, that there is a considerable advance
in prices in the Dry Goods line this season; but J. B. MOUNT contracted lor
the principal part of his stock in time to save the 15 per cent, advance on Ins
Jeans, Cassimeres, Prints, Bleached and Unbleached Domestics, etc., and is pre
pared to offer you immense advantages. Stop het'g. and read—
750 yards Virginia Cassimeres at 374c; others ask 58c.
