ENTKHF.1) AT THE I'OST-OKFICE, NEWNAN, GA... AS SECOND-Cl.ASS MATTER. The County Alliance. The County Alliance will meet in Newnan on Wednesday, the 10th of November instead of the 10th, as pre viously appointed. The date of meet- in*; is thus postponed in order that the sub-Alliances may have time in which to prepare and send in their reports. Sim L. Whatley, Pres’t. L. M. McGhee, Sec’y. 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. J. B.

W. Fit%f, in this place, on Thursday evening, the 20th inst., Mr. R. Neal Moses and Miss Anna R. Fitts. The ceremony, which was performed by Dr. E. B. Barrett in his usual happy manner, was witnessed only by the relatives and a few friends of the high contracting parties. , The groom is one oi Carrollton s most popular young men. He has been connected for a number of years with t he large house of E.

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.

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 And everything included in that line of business, ever presented to the public. 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 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.
