From Mrs. A. W. Cosby, of tho Board of Visitors.
When the Board of Visitors to the
Girls’ Normal and Industrial College
met at MtlledgevlUe last December,
we were earnestly solicited to organ
ise, in our respective dlstrlots, Doan
Associations, for the purpose of aid
ing needy gtrla in their effort! to ob
tain an eduoatlon—girls thirsting for
knowledge, yet destitute of fb nda suf
ficient to defray their ekpenies While
In attendant* Rt the college.
Their expenses, though small, must
be met promptly, and' how can they
meet them unaldedf Tis simply Im
possible. They must forever be de
barred the privilege of entering the
school and fitting themselves for high
er and nobler lives unless the women
of Georgia oome to their aid, for
while their tuition la free their board
la not, and this In Itself is a barrier
not easily overcome.
How then are we to aid themf By
permanent Loan Fund, from
whloh a girl will be allowed to borrow
a sum sufficient to enable her to take a
course at Htlledgevllle, said money to
be refunded as soon as possible after
/the has acquired the ability to earn
it, then It Is ready to go forth on an
other mission of mercy.
Ferliaps an extraot, from the model
constitution will better explain the
plan. It says: “We, the citizens of
county, State of Georgia, desiring
to form qn association to promote the
industrial and higher eduoation of
young women, and to disseminate
knowledge in regard to the nature and
purposes of the Normal and Industrial
College, do hereby organize ourselves
into an association for the furtherance
of these objects, 1st. To unite in lend
ing a helping hand to struggling
womanhood, and to encourage and
assist her In obtaining remunerative
employment. 2nd, To promote beneV
olenoe by establishing a loan fund by
annual dues, private subscription, and
otherwise to assist In defraying the
expenses of girls while pursuing the
higher education tnught In the
Normal school and Industrial depart'
ments of said oollege.”
By this constitution a person Is ren-
dered eligible to membership In the
association by the payment of one dol
lar annually, and ten dollars makes
life member.
The plan commends itself at once
to those desirous to become the bene,
factors of their leBS fortunate sisters.
I am confident there arc many large-
hearted, benevolent men and women in
our county who would gladly con
tribute thede amounts, thereby render
ing uneducated, but deserving girls,
self-sustaining and independent, mak
ing their whole lives brighter and
happier by these benefactions.
I trust tbis matter will receive the
consideration which It ao richly
merits, and that our county, together
with eVery county In the district, will
very soon have a permanent Organiza
tion. Mm. A. W. Cosby,

Treasure Love.
There is a man who lives In the olty
of New York who has accumulated
quite a fortune by simply advising
people what to do. There always will
be a large number of persona who are
ubable to rely on tbairown judgment.
Otljera.oOme to a conclusion with ease
and certainty.
A young man had accumulated
11,000, and was debating whether he
should buy a small candy store with
it or whether he should lend it pn a
mortgage.' The latter he knew waa
the'secure way. The other promised
great profits. In this perplexity he
saw an advertisement:
“Advice given to those going Into
business.’’
After stating his ease the counsellor
said: “My fee will be $8 In advanoe.”
When this was.paid, he Mked:
“Do you understand the oandy busi
ness?”
“No; I did not think it was neces
sary. I expeot to supervise it merely."
“Then you will lose all your money
in three months."
“You think I had better lend the
money on the mortgage?"
“I do not say that. What Is your
business? that is, what do you per
fectly understand?"
“I know the pickle business through
and through. I can make piokles of
all kinds, but I do not like it.”
“Never mind whatyou like. Go and
get a small place and make piokles.
Go from hotel to hotel, restaurant to
restaurant, and sell them. In ten
years oome back and see me. You will
have $10,000 at least."
As the young man was going away
he was called baok.
“Here Is a card. I want you to put
It where you oan see It a hundred times
a day." These were the words on the
card: “Business Is business. Men
don’t do what they like; they do what
they can.”
The oard had a fascination for him.
He read It with care as he walked
along the street. As he studied it new
light seemed to enter his mind.
It is needless to say he succeeded.

The Quitman Free Press says:
The Indications now are that there
will be "thousands of ’em” again this
year.
The acreage around Quitman Is prob
ably not quite so large as it was last
year, but there Is little, if any, reduc
tion in other parts of the county.
Brooks will make a big crop, fully as
can be profitably realized upon.
The growers are not all backing
their judgment in planting melons,
but then, they aBk, what else can we
do? There’s no moriey In cotton, and
we’ve got to take chances on some
thing.
The writer was told the other day
by a Boston man, who is well posted,
that there is no reduction there. A
Camilla man says that Mitchell county
will plant the largest crop she ever
made, and the information is that
there is a heavy aereage on the G. 8.
& F., the E. T. V. & G. and in middle
Georgia.
This newB of a heavy crop may not
be encouraging, but it is said that two
disastrous melon seasons never come
together. This being so, this year's
crop should be a very profitable one.
The Free Press sincerely hopes It
will be.

Science Biakm Ont m New Claim.
Scranton Tribune.
A new theory of tmpending de
struction of the earth has been sprung
upon us; A scientific estimate of the
weight of our little planet has been
made and also of the weight of the
human bodies that have been born and
have lived on it from the beginning of
creation. It Is found that these two
are about equal, so thst all the mate
rial of the world Is composed of the re
mains of human bodies. From this ii
is argued that the purpose of creation
has been fulfilled and when the resur
rection takes place—an event not far
off—the earth will vanish, since the
raised bodies will carry off all its sub
stance and leave behind them a vacant
place where the planet is now. Great

NEW YOBK’S CAPITOL JOB.
From the Indianapolis News.
Governor Flower has signed the
bill appropriating $800,000 more for
continuing the work on the capital
building at Albany. This will pay for
the work that is to be done this year.
The Governor says that next year
$700,000 will be required and the next
year $100,000, when it is hoped the
building will be finished. The esti
mate was $4,000,000 according to the
original plans. It was begun in 1807
and has cost up to date $18,682,248.
Other estimates aside from that of the
Governor’s declare that it will take
over $2,000,000 to .complete It. It has
been a public scandal for years, but
there is no help for it but to keep pour
ing in the money until it is finished,
with the hope that the first portions
will not fall in before the last are com
pleted.

door, “Is your final decision?”
“It is, Mr. Wicklugge,” said the
young girl firmly.
“Then,” he replied, his voice betray

Sow the Matrimonial Knot Wet Tied
bp a Frontier Justice ot the Peace.
Camping near a town in Wyoming,
wo secured our stock and went in.
Entering the leading store of the
town, I introduced myself to Mr.
Stiles, one of the proprietors, and
the postmaster. Stiles said: "It’s
now 2:80, and at 8 there's a wedding
at Jonas Burton's. Old Jonas is a
_ l old coon that we elected a
juatdoe of the peace about a month
ago, and as this will bo his first at
tempt at a marriage I think we will
see some fun. Come, go with pie."
We went into the old squire’s cabin
and found him poring over a large
volume of the "Statutes of Wyo
ming.” sweating like a horse and
looking terribly anxious. After greet
ing us be said:
"Stiles, them galoots that got up
these yer laws hadn't gumption
jh to last 'em over night I’ve
run through the blamed hooka a half
dozen times an can’t find a word
about matrimony or how the hitehin

couple, hit er miss, an if I don’tyoke
’em up legal I can’t help it”
Btiles explained to-him about how
to prooeed, and the old man finally
thought he could worry through in
tolerable shape.
Ere long the couple appeared, fol
lowed by a crowd of dozens of the
comp. The candidates stood up be
fore tho squire, who began •
"Feller citizens, this yer man and
this yer woman have appeared before

Everybody said "L"
"Contrary. ’No.’” .
Nobody said "No.”
"Tho motion’s carried unanimous

haln’t nothing to prevent the trying

“Now," said the squire, "grip your

The candidates joined handb.

Her Nationality.
There came into one of the primary
classes of a Brooklyn public school
last week a little black eyed girl. A
glance showed that her nationality
was not that of the ordinary run of
school children. The rest of the
urchins seemed to he aware of this,
for when the teacher pleasantly
asked, “What is your name, little
girll” a towhead over in the comer
spoke up and said:
“Please, ma’am, she’s a stick.”
"A what!" asked the teacher.
“A stick.”
The puzzled preceptress looked
from one child to another and tried
to divine what was meant. The
newcomer cleared up the mystery.
“I am a Pole,” said she. “That is
what she means by a stick.’’—New
York Recorder.
