Georgia ns a whole lias missed the sutumn storms and is making cotton. Tho state fair commence • next week in Macon and Baldwin county will be there. Planting oats is like building a bul wark around the home. Farmers should begin the work ut once. Despite the fact that cotton is over lit cants it will lake plenty of home sup plies to keen tho farmers on easy street. I’lant winter crops. Digging sweet potatoes will soon be in order. And then comes the possum. And think of prosperity tlirowed in with it all, too. It makes one tired to rend this watcl the town grow and pull for tho com munity doctrine preached when the preachers work the other way.

The father of the late Benoit Con stant Cuquelin, the great French actor, was a baker, aud young Coquelin was brought up to the trade. At thirteen, a w riter in I,u Figaro says, he mani fested an irresistible inclination toward the stage, and inclinaticn which his fathersteailfastly strove to repress. "Don't devote so much time to tnose dramas,” his father used to say. "You have learned a giod trade, the business is running well, and you shall bo my i imposed upon they will demano I HUCces8or " A number of years after Constant had made his way into general favor his father, who took pride in his boy’s success but could never quite get over 1 ^ lue^poatul Tutvs li/'r-P There is a decided activity in real re nte in Milledgpville and Hal Iwin uuuntv ust at present und many important ransactions have been carried through luring tho past ten days. liuli dozen automobiles will probapiy go up to Covington the first day of Nov ember when Dr. J.

When men strive to ultain emolu ments at the hands of tho people for •elf-aggrandizement they level the .heights to which other men seek to climb for public good from unselfish motives. B There is no way to scop a good mar down so it is said, but lots of us think that philosophy goes a bit wrong there, •specially when it comes time to pay up. Suppose evry man in Milledgeville who owes some money should pay u dollar, or ten dollars on the debt to morrow. Wouldn't one uollar do a lot of work, for it would pay $20,00 worth of debts. The Eatonten fair will commence next Tuesday und the people of Mil- ledgevillo an I Baldwin county should encourage the progressiveness of Put nam county by patronizing the fair in every wav possible.

There is no reason for fees, f T a salary should be enough, if a man will not perforin his duty for the salary without fees then put him ont and put somebody in who will do the work. Anybody wi ing home to them as straight doctrine if they will just watch and wait. We hope the Geolgia legislature will abolish every office feo in the state of Georgia. Wo hope it will make the law bo strong that not even a municipality will have the power to give one of its officers a penny in the way of fees. We are for the man who stands for such a law. we are against the man who does not, for in i estimation he wants something lie does not earn and he cares not from whore it comes so long as it comes his way.

Tho other side u one we hnrdly ever hear. But whether it is told in song or story or kept secret from the world ami no one but tho .duster cun ever know it and no one but thi Muster cun over care about it, still it is os full of pathos, needful of human sympathy ns the most pathetic story ever made public. Herein Mille Igoville there is a public service corporation -no matter width one that has caused unending comment and harsh criticism has been showered upon the company. We will not defend the company. We know thut they are expected to show the greatest good to the greatest num ber. But, ah, the story of the other side. Some of the employes are said to be incompetent, but there is a reason why ih) force is not up to its standard. It is not so much the will of the man agement, hut ono of tho employes working for a pitifully small sum i< struggling to do the best possible with loved onoi at home sick with fever. It would be nothing jhort of harshness to change, for what is earned must go to supply things needed ut home. Yet the world never cares. The ser vice may continue poor for sometime to come, and there are other causes, too, but soon as possible we shall strive to throw some light on other reasons. GET THE THING STARTED. That is one-half of success. The other half is—get the thing done. Starting the idea into operation and doing it to a complete finish-that is the only road to results. At your desk—in vour office—at counter—on the road—in the shop: Get it started push it through. Initiate! AND FINISH the Anyone ca" follow the old preced ence in the old way.

So great is the demand for teachers of agriculture and allied industrial subjects that the University of Min nesota had lately followed ths example of some other colleges, and established a school for the special training of those who desire to engage in the work. A bulletin issued bv the university an- r i.inces that young men with high-schoi * education, who have alse had pratical experience on a farm, are especially fitted for entering the new profession. Every new machine, every new pro cess, every new plan or scheme or system or principle, is a tool in the hands of the man who can use it.
