Under the auspicious < irrumstances characterizing the beginning of the New
Year for most our readers there is no doubt but that indications point to vastly
better times on a hood than you have enjoyed in many long years. After all

Acknowledging all this, yet let us impress upon you that is the age of co
operation, the soiril of aid to one another is pswerful and] it should be shown on

During the great storm which swept the whole Atlantic coast Christmas
many ships were disabled, but in the story of one of the wrecked vessels we
have a wonderful tale. The Iroquois became disabled,oft the dreaded Cape
llattcras anil a wireless message was sent whiiling through space. Down at
Savannah the wireless operator caught the information, hut almost at the
same moment the big steamers Mohawk, City of Atlanta and San Marcos, all
three received the news and started to assist the vessel. The news ol suc
cor was caught up by all the ships and the San Marcos being nearest towed
the damaged ship safely to harbor in Charleston.
'Ellis is a demonstration of the wonderful advancement made during the
last lew years and the value of such a method of communication can never
be computed, for all that a man hath will ho give for his life, and besides the
vessels oltcn carry millions in actual wealth. When mankind makes com
mensurate progress with science there will be but little left in the way *f sor-
sow and suflering and want will be virtually unknown.
There is no way to tell just how many ships that go out to sea with a
vast uncertainty back ol the cruise, but the dangers are materially lessened
when wireless telegraphy is used . Of course, this little story may be used
by some ol the promoters of wireless companies in the tnd, but still it serves
a purpose here to show what is being done.
One of the most disastrous country
fires occurring in this section during
the past year was burning of the re
sidence of Mr. W. R Hardy, near Ivey
in Wilkins m county last week. Mr.
Ivey is a prominent farmer of the sec
tion and tho loss sustained is around
$3,000. All his household effects and
$400 in money burned.
The insurance is hardly more than
$1,000. The loss falls heavily on Mr
Hardy and his friends here regret it
very much. He is well known in Mil
ledgeville, trading very much here.
After the fire gained headway neigh
bors rushed to his rescure and aided in
saving the outhouse. Tho famdy went
to the home "f Mr. Hardy’s father, Mr.
James Fountain and they will remain
there until preparations for constructing
the new home are complete.
His offices are equipped as well as
the best medical offices of Europe and
far better than any in Georgia.
