We have just completed our new buggy emporium, where we keep at all times two of the best-known buggies made—the “White Star” and the Jackson G. Smith Bartles ville Buggy—both made in Georgia. We assure the buying public that the “White Star” and the Jackson G. Smith buggies are an individual and superior class, whose merits arc winning success in every locality where buggies are sold. These buggies are—- High Grade in Quality High Grade in Style • - High Grade in Finish - Moderate in Price Dr. Bestul has an orange and grape fruit grove about two years old. and a considerable part of 40 acres cleared and set out to vegetables and tobacco. Others who have groves started and in a good stage of development are W. E. Webb, .lohn Morley. R. G. Parsons, Geo. Gunn, S. Might, T. R. Harmon, Wm. Thompson, C. J. Ross,; F. W. Denny, G. 0. Webber and Geo. Abbott. Others have groves in different stages of development also. Two graduates of the Agricultural College of Jamaica, R. Edie and C. Nicholas, have paid a great deal of at tention to vegetables, and are working 15 acres on shares. They have reaped handsome profits from Bermuda onions, Irish potatoes, cabbages, egg plants, tomatoes, beans and tobacco. Neaily ever - y day for the past couple of months they have shipped vegetables to Santi ago. Many new clearings were made the past winter. Alister McKay, of Chat ham, Ont., has started the work of de veloping 55 acres, and John Ross has cleared 10 acres of his 10-acre tract. H. Bab, who has just moved here from Toronto, has cleared half of his 20 acres. Clias. A. Floyd, of Holland, Mich , who, with his wife, visited here a couple of weeks ago, has made a 10- acre clearing on his land on the south side of the railroad, and has cleared live acres of his 20-acre tract on the north. C. Nickerson has cleared 10 of his 40 acres. Van Regenmorter Bros, have cleared five acres of their 30-acre tract. Clearings have also been made by Tom J. Powers, Mrs. Edward Bertsch, C. Blom, sr., John Wendel, C. E. Elisor, Alex Mustard, Melville Ionson, W. Cameron Ionson, John Stewart, 1). W. Miller and J. E. Roberts. W. H. Norman, of Detroit, has moved here to look after the develop ment of 200 acres owned by the Detroit Development Co., of which Philip Breitmeyer, Mavor of Detroit, is presi dent. Twenty-seven acres have already been cleared, and soon will be set out to fruit and vegetables, and the clear ing and planting of the remainder will be pushed as rapidly as possible The Bartle Beaver Club lias cleared its five-acre tract in the town-site, and is arranging for the construction of some small cottages. It is the idea of the organization to put up a club-house after some cottages have been built. Plans for the club-house have been drawn. The Beaver Club will develop 1,000 acres; 500 acres will be put into sugar cane and the rest into vegetables and tropical fruits. It is the idea of the club to make of this 1,000 acres an object lesson showing what can be ac complished with good land in Cuba in the dividend-paying line. There are now three nurseries in Bartle—one run by Roberts & Brand, another by Ionson & Young, and a third by Thos. R. Towns. Mr. Bryant, of Florida, was here a short time ago, and is expected back in a few days to start another nursery. We are looking forward with lively anticipations to the arrival of D. W. Miller, of the Swartzchild & Sulzberger Co., of Chicago, who. with some other people interested in the enterprise, is OPTIMISM. The west winds blow, and singing, low, l hear tho glad streams run; The windows of my soul I throw Wide open to the sun. No longer forward or behind I look in hope or fonr: But, grateful, take the good I find, The beat of now and here. I break tho pilgrim staff—I lay Aside the toiling oar; The angle sought so far away I welcome at my door. The airs of spring may never play Among my ripening corn, Nor freshness of the flowers of May Blow through the autumn morn. Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look Through fringed litis t ' heaven; And tho pale aster in the brook Shall see its image given. The woods shall wear their robes of praise, The South winds softly sigh; The sweet, calm days, in golden haze, Melt down the amber sky. And so the shadows fall apart. And so the West winds play; And all the windows of my heart I open to the day. “QUEEN OF THE ANTILLES.” Lewis Powell Writes Interesting Letter Describing Conditions in Cuba. Bartle, Cuba, March 8, 1909. Editors Herald and, Advertiser: Thinking that your readers might be interested in conditions in Bartle, Cuba, I will write briefly concerning the things that are going on down here. This article will be necessarily limited, as time will not permit a recital of all that is happening in this part of this beautiful island. We who are living in Cuba feel no uneasiness regarding political condi tions. Under the articles of the Platt amendment protection is guaranteed to life and property by the United States, and this means that no matter which Government rules, absolute security will prevail. So far, the Cubans have shown themselves capable of governing themselves; but whether they are or not, we who are .on the ground and in terested in the development of the country, do not worry. It seems that most of the worrying is done by those who are not on the island, and who do not understand the conditions. It is simply delightful here. During the day it means the enjoyment of the best climate on earth, and in the even ing it means cool nights and sound sleeping, yet it is never cool enough to cause a person to wish for a fire. If Cuba had no more than her wonderful climate to recommend it, the island would still have a great asset; but it has more, for nowhere will land pro duce better results. For instance, in Bartle it has been proven beyond a doubt that it will pay well for a man to engage in poultry-raising and truck farming. Several people here engaged in these enterprises are receiving ex cellent returns for their labor and trouble. They find a market in Santi ago for all their products that are not used in Bartle. This means that a man may easily support himself raising poultry or vegetables while waiting for his orange or grape fruit grove or his pineapple tract to develop. But the cultivation of citrus fruits is the great object for which men strive in Cuba, for fruit-growing pays far beyond the dreams of most men. Indeed, it has been proven that the man who owns a few acres in citrus fruits is independ ently rich, for from no other business j on his way here to complete plans for are the returns so great. | the installation of a canning factory.

So far as transportation is concerned, Bartle is well taken care of. It is on the main line of the Cuba railroad, and freight can be loaded on the cars on the sidetrack at Bartle and shipped direct to the docks at Antilla, Nipe Bay, and trucked to the steamers without going to the trouble of transferring by light er, as is done in Havana and other harbors of the island. Good transpor tation is one of the most important requisites to success in Cuba, and Bar- tie certainly has an excellent service. Besides these requisites, it has good water, good land, and good social con ditions. These are some of the rea sons why it is going ahead so rapidly that we are now safe in saying that it will ultimately be the center of En glish-speaking influence on the eastern end of the island. I cannot see how any other English-speaking colony can get ahead of us, for, though young, we have an excellent start, and lack none of the requisites of success. L. O. Powell. Price of the Preaching Lay in the “Piping.” The colored parson had just conclud ed a powerful sermon on ‘‘Salvation Am Free,” and was announcing that a collection would be taken for the bene fit of the parson and his family. Up jumped an acutely brunette brother in the back of the church. ‘‘Look a-yer, parson,” he interrupt ed, "yo’s ain’t no sooner done tellin’ us dat salvation am free den yo’ go axin’ us fo’ money. If salvation am free, what’s de use in payin’ fer it? Dat’s what I wants ter know. An’ I’s gwine to tell yo' p’intedly dat I ain’t gonner gib yo’ nothin’ ’twell I finds out. Now—” "Patience, brudder, patience,” said the parson. “I’ll lucidate: S’posin’ yo’ is thirsty, an’ comes to a river. Yo’ kin kneel down an’ drink yo’ fill, couldn’t yo’? An’ hit wouldn’t cost yo’ nothin’, would it?” "Ob cou’se not. Dat’s jest ’zackiy what I—” ‘‘Dat water would be free,” contin ued the parson. ‘‘But s’posin’ yo’ was to hab dat water piped to yo’ bouse? Yo’d hab to pay, wouldn’t yo’?” “Yas, suh, but—” ‘‘Wal, brudder, so it is wid salva tion. De salvation am free, but it am de habin’ it piped to yo’ dat you got ter pay fer. Pass de hat;, deacon ; pass de hat.” “Hon.” Nashville Banner. The Oklahoma Legislature proposes to put a ban upon the complimentary title, “Honorable,” which, contracted into “Hon., ” is so generally prefixed in print to names of men who hold or have held Federal or State office. Of course it is not to be expected that any legis lation of the kind proposed would pre vent any man or a newspaper from dub bing a public man “Honorable.” The title is as common as that of “Colonel, ” which is so commonly applied without regard to the question whether the man so designated ever served in the army or ever had a commission. Having no titles of nobility in this country, our people are prone to bestow complimen tary honors ad libitum. The term "honorable” is commonly attached to the names of Congressmen and legis lators, but there is no rule which re quires the bestowment of this titular distinction. It is a term of respect, which may be regarded as appropriate in general, although in no sense neces sary. We have heard it insisted that so far as members of the Legislature are concerned, “Hon. ” applies only to State Senators, but we know of no au thoritative rule requiring this discrimi nation. After all, honorary and com plimentary titles have become so nu merous and common in our country that plain, old-fashioned Mister has al most become a title of distinction. A captious traveler in northern Ar kansas stopped by a fence to criticize a sere cornfield which met his disapprov al. "Mighty small corn you have there’” he shouted to the man who was super intending the growth from a shady corner. “Yep.” said the Arkansan. “Planted the small kind.” “Looks mighty yellow to me for this time of year.” “Yep, Planted the yellow kind.” “Well,” said the traveler, severely, “I can’t understand your method of farming. You won’t get but half a crop there. ” “Nope,” said the Arkansan, cheer fully. “You are shore a good guesser, stranger. Half a crop exactly. I planted on shares.” A little girl was preparing to say her orayers. Her grandmother said she should ask God to make the weather warmer, so that grandma’s rheumatism would get better. And so the prayer was ended with this sentence; “Dear God, please make it hot for grandma.” The Judge and Little Matchseller. Now York Prefm. "Truth is stranger than fiction," we are told, and though the majority are apt to poohpooh anything in a story as “farfetched,” yet the proverb is not far out, as the following romantic lit tle story shows, which was related not long since in one of the Berlin papers. An elderly, distinguished looking gentleman, formerly a Prussian district Judge, was sipping his glass of beer at a fashionable hotel bar in Berlin one night when a young and strikingly handsome, but poorly clad girl of about fifteen entered and begged the gentle man to buy some mutches. The former Judge was immediately attracted by “something” in the girl’s features, and entered into a long con versation with her. The child in reply to closer questions said she had never known her parents, but her “auntie,” who was waiting outside, would be able to tell the gen tleman all about them. The Judge summoned the aunt and placed her under a severe cross exam ination, during which it transpired that the “aunt” was in reality nothing more than the foster mother of the child, whose own mother died in a poor- house twelve years before. The Judge, who had become greatly agitated, now produced a small, age- dimmed photograph and eagerly de manded of the “aunt” whether she rec ognized it. "It is Bertha’s mother!” cried the woman, without hesitation. "Then,” remarked the Judge, ‘‘I am that poor girl’s father. I have been searching for her the last eight years.” It appears that the Judge had a love all’air with a girl much below his sta tion about sixteen years ago. His pa rents refused to consent to the marri age and had him removed to a distant provincial town. Eight years ago he inherited a large fortune, retired from the service and devoted the whole of his time to searching for his lost child, with the above result. He Was a “Rebel.” Senator Foraker and Senator Over man were discussing Civil War experi ences, and Senator Foraker told how, while he was marching through the South, he took occasion to question a number of stragglers whom he met as to their political status. Invariably, he said, the investigated native declared for the Union. They were all “Union men. ” But then he crossed the North Caro lina border, and he had not been in the territory of that State very long when he met, in the Cape Fear section, a tall, lank Highland Scot. “Well,” queried the future defender of the Brownsville shooters-up, “how about you? Union man, 1 suppose?” “No-o-o, suh!” vyas the emphatic reply. "Oh; then you must be a secession ist.” “Not a bit of it, suh !” "Huh! What are you, then?” “I, suh,” responded the stranger, stretching himself proudly to his full height, ‘‘am jest a damned rebel, suh, from my toes up.” Senator Foraker said he passed on, without molesting the man, for he didn’t think such an out-and-outer would stay a prisoner long, even if he were captured. “Since Charlie proposed to me.” said the young girl, “I have been so su premely happy. I don’t feel like 1 live in flu 11 old England, but in—” “Lapland,” suggested her brother, who was doing his geography lesson. GET INSIDE. Your Friends and Neighbors in New- nan Will Show You How. Rubbing the back won’t cure back ache. A liniment may relieve, but can’t cure. Backache comes from the inside— from the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Fills get inside— They cure sick kidneys. Here is Newnan proof that this is so: Mrs. J. T. Holmes, 20 Fair street, Newnan, Ga., says: “My advice to all in need of a remedy for disorder ed kidneys is to get Doane’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store and try them. I am sure that no other remedy could have proven of more value than they did to me. For several years I was a victim of kidney trouble. My back ached terribly, and I was subject to frequent attacks of dizziness. The kid ney secretions were badly disordered; in fact, my general health was much run down. I took treatment at a min eral spring, and tried many advertised remedies, but my condition failed to im prove. About two years ago I chanced to hear of Doan’s Kidney Fills, and be ing impressed in their favor, procured a box. They promptly relieved me of the trouble. A few weeks ago I felt a slight lameness in my back, but on this occasion again used Doane’s Kidney Pills and was afforded just as prompt relief. ” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
