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.

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 Mae ef Them.

She besought her neighbors to searoh the mine. A party waa organised and twelve miners made a thorough aearoh of theworka without finding him. The Wife then became distracted, and' It was feared for a time that she would go mad. She became strangely calm, however, In a short time, saying she whs certain her husband Would be found. '■ The hext morning Mre. Traynor was missing. Diligent searoh In the village failed to reveal any trace of her, and it was generally supposed that the loss of her husband had un balanced her mind and she had' wan dered to the mountains. A party of mine surveyors who .were, examining some old workings this afternoon en tered fin old breast oloae to the man way which forms the second opening of the mine. They heard the sound of a human voice In the darkness some distance beyond. They listened In tently and. were startled to recognize the voice of a woman crooning softly the words of a love song. They orawled hastily over the loose ooal to the plaoe from where the voice pro- Flashing their lamps about, the light soon fell upon the face of a wild-eyed woman holding in her lap the head of a man, apparently dead. She swayed gently from side to side while she sung. Soon It was seen that It wqq Mrs. Traynor. The men lifted the poor woman. She gave an outcry and fainted. She was taken to the surface and carried tohef home. The body of her hus band Was brought there soon after. The prile Is now InBane. It is sup posed that when she disappeared she made direotly for the manhole and stumbled aoross the body ot her hue. band, who had been oaught by a fall of topqoal on his way out. 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. UNPBOVITMBI.B TMNOS. C. G. Johnson, one of Mr. D. W, Price’s tailors, was arrested and lock ed up by Deputy ^Sheriff Goodwin, yesterday.

It never pays to run in debt. for things yoif do not need. It never pays to warm your hands at the devil’s lire. It never pays to oherlsh a fault-find ing spirit.

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.

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.

Clothier and Furniaher. “This, then, Miss Grassneok,” said the young man as he started for the door, “Is your final decision?” “It is, Mr. Wicklugge,” said the young girl firmly. “Then,” he replied, his voice betray ing an unnatural calmness, “there is but one thing more to add.” “What is that?” she asked, toying absently with the lobe of her shell-like ear. “It is this,” he muttered—“shall I return those black satin suspenders by inall/or will you have them now?” 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 process is'porccdod with. Fve just got to put the damps on this ere 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 the court to be hitched in the legal bands of wedlock I If any galoot in tho mob knows of anything that might block the game if tuck to a higher court, let him now toot his bazoo or else keep his jaw to himself now and forevermore. All in favor of perceeding as authorized by law say ‘I.’ ” Everybody said "L" "Contrary. ’No.’” . Nobody said "No.” "Tho motion’s carried unanimous ly, an the court rules that there haln’t nothing to prevent the trying of tho case.” “Now," said the squire, "grip your fins.” The candidates joined handb. “Amos Peabody, do you solemnly swaar that ye’ll freeze to Mandy for ever, and provide for her and treat her squar’ and white aocordin to the rules and regulations set down to govern slch cases in the laws o’ the United States, so help you God?" "You, sir; I do, sir." "That fixes your end of the bar gain. "Mandy Thomas, do you solemnly swaar that you’ll-hong on to Amos for all comin time; that you’ll nuss him in sickness and be squar’ to him in wellness; that ye’ll, always he to him a good, true, honest, up and u] wife under the penalties prescribe! by the laws for the punishment of (rich offenses? Do you swaar this, so help yer God?” "I swear 1 will." "Then, by the power in toe vested as justice of the peace in and for this dnot, I pronounce yon, Amos Peabody, husband, and you, Mandy Thomas, wife, and legalize ye to re main such now and forevermore; an ye’ll stand committed till the fees and costs in the case are paid in full, an may God have mercy on your souls an hlsea this union with his heftiest hlesein’s.” The fees and coats were adjusted, and the newly made husband and wife after receiving the congratula tions of the assembly departed for their cabin up the creek.—Cor. Chi cago Tribune. 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. J W. WALTERS, * ATTORNEY-AT-LAW.
