asked a great runny questions in regard
to it. His mother finally said: “Now,

Mrs. Smith comes, don’t you tell her
that we are going to have ice-cream for
dinner. He said: “No, mamma, I won’t

Haralson.
Mr. Editor:—The quarterly meeting
of the Senoia district was held in the
Methodist church here yesterday and
to-day, that grand old man, Rev. II.
H. Parks, presiding. On yesterday the
conference licensed two young men
from Brooksville church to exercise the
gift of exhortation. Their names are
Messrs. Kelly and Sears—the latter be
ing the son of a Baptist minister. A
good delegation was in attendance on
both days. Bro. Parks preached to-day
to a large congregation— a grand ser
mon from a grand old mas. God bless
him! lie is full of the love of Christ.
May lie live long to encourage Chris
tians to work for Christ.
“Bill Arp” lectured in Senoia last
Friday night to a crowded house. I

reckon.
Everybody down here seems to be
happy over the result of the election.
If only the bagging, meat, sugar and
coffee trusts would “bust,” and the late
cotton bolls would “bust” a little fast
er, so that we poor, broken-down, “bus
ted” farmers could pay tlie interest on
what we owe, we would be happier
st ill. In a radius of four miles around
Haralson there is the poorest cotton
crop that I lur-e seen in fifteen years.
Witli the short cotton crop, and with
flour up to $7 per barrel and going
higher; meat It ecu's, with an upward
tendency; sugar and coffee also high,
with the rascally trust monopolies
punching u.s in the short ribs,—what
will become of the poor farmer is an
enigma that I can’t solve. Farmers
and laborers, why can’t we form a trust
among ourselves, and commence, on
Panther Creek.

Queer People.
This is the title of the latest, and by
all odds the most charming book for
little people we have ever seen. Its fa
bles, or Tories, are delightful, hut the
illustrations are simply immense.

charming fables rival those of the

"his inimitable illustrations. He dresses

People” lias brought a perfect ovation
of j.raise limn i lie brightest men ill the

weil, the Ninons lecturer, says: “Don’t
semi me another such a book, lor I
can’t get my children to bed.”
The famous statesman, diplomat, and
wit. bun Set Cox, says: “The Kweer
Kapers are simply incomparable,”
while the distinguished theologian, Dr.
Howard Crosby, says: “They have the
fascination that belongs to YEsop
and Uncle Remus,” and the venerable
poet, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
w rites: “1 am sorry I have not a nurse
ry full of little folks to enjoy its bright
