There is an alKinnding satisfaction in working for I letter government, cleaner 1 polities and a higher social order even when progress is slow. It is a privilege to be able to address the large audience that a paper of wide circulation commands, and in making that address to have no restraints of party, no considera tions of personal interest, no im pulses based on prejudice, but to Ik* free to judge men and issues on their merits. A paper that follows! this policy from month to month, from year to year, has its reward in the cumulative results as well as in tin* passing joy of the work.

Millions and millions of dollars are spent every year—several thousand dollars a year perhaps in this county—for jguiulilj advertised “stock foods,” “condition powders,” etc., for farm animals, while ihe investiga tions and tests made by the Expe riment Stations have demonstrated Unit these preparations are noth ing more than eoinmon meal, bran, etc., with a little cheap sulphur, salt, Kpsom silts, pepper, salt peter, etc . added to change the taste, and the mixture 'hardly more valuable than ordinary ship stulfi put 111> in llaming packages, advertised in big illustrated ads. in farm papers, and sold to gulli ble farmers at rates ranging from *250 to $2,5oo a ton. These stock foods, which can be found in almost any country store, have recently been tested in seven the price to foreign buyers, but I fail to see anything for Georgia in it . With me at present Newnan is the hub of the universe, and I am not so much interested in the rim of the wheel. Let tin* syndi cate buy a few thousand acres of Coweta land and place British sub jects on it to raise cotton, and they will furnish their employes with supplies. Our merchants would be ignored, and our shops and 111 a n u fa cturing establishments would get no patronage. We would gel nothing but the taxes, and taking that into account, would be better if paid by good Ameri can citizens. Well may lie they won’t come, but I II bet a cigar if they do.there will be plenty of the fool class to fawn and boot-lick them; and the fool class will not be of the ignor ant, uneducated class either.

Torn Murray, the Chicago mer chant, writes Printers’ Ink: “If there is any man in the world that knows wliat advertising will do for his business it is Torn. My business year before last was running less than $200,000 a year. A few months ago I felt that 1 could afi’ord to advertise in the Chicago daily papers; took the Kansas two lots of sheep were fed, and those without stock foods made 117 pounds greater gain. In Massachusetts a slight gain in butter was made—but at an in creased cost of 48 cents a pound I Of nineteen experiments in New Jersey, sixteen Hhowcd no gains, and in the three eases where gains were made from stock foods, their cost was so great as to make their use unprofitable. In Iowa $1.40 a steer was lost by using these high- priced mixtures. And so it goes. The Progressive Farmer gives instance after in stance—but we mention these ex amples merely to warn our farmer readers against wasting further the many hard-earned dollars that go out from our county each year for these much-advertised frauds— for frauds they are, although so conspicuously advertised in many farm papers; and The Progressive Farmer reports that it loses $1,000 a year in advertising patronage by exposing them to its farmer readers.

E. It. Dillingham, H. Y. Garrett and N. N. Hadden, of At lanta, spent a while in Newnan Monday enroute to Whitesburg, where they instituted on Monday night a flourishing council of the Jr. O. U. A. M. They did the same work at Carrollton on Wed nesday evening of last week. The degree team of Newnan council exemplified this work at both places, and as usual did the work in a way to infuse patriotic en thusiasm in the new councils. The Carrollton council starts out un der especially bright auspices, and will no doubt soon rank among the best councils of the State. While the Whitesburg council will inevitably lie a small one, its memliership is composed of the best men of the town and com munity, and will succeed from its very inception. Past Deputy State Councilor P. T. McOutchen, who assisted in the instituting work at Carrollton, and would have gone to Whitesburg but for other duties, speaks ill highest terms of the prospects of Newnan’s neighlior councils, and was especial compli mentary in speaking of the excel lent exemplification work by the Newnan team. pons AND PARKS WE SELL LADIES’ GOODS. ?
