Perry, Thursday, December 15.
Gen. Ludlow will be the first mil
itary governor of the city of Havana.
The business errors and mistakes
of 1898 can be used as danger sig
nals in 1899.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has gone to
Cuba, and will be in command in
Havana province.
The seventh regiment of U. S.
cavalry, regular, has been added to
the number of soldiers encamped at
Macon, Ga.
Hon. W. J. Bryan is no longer a
colonel in the volunteer military ser
vice of the United States. He re
signed that position several days ago,
It is reported from Berlin that
Emperor "William urges the comple
tion and perfection of the German
army, anticipating a serious conflict
between England and France.
A triple alliance between the
United States, England and Japan
is advocated by Senator Cushman
K. Davis, one of our peace commis
sioners, says the London Daily Mail.
Col. J. A. Edwards, of Marshall-
ville, has been appointed judge of
the Macon County court. He is a
brother of Mr. M. A. Edwards, clerk
of Houston Superior court, and his
friends here extend him cordial con
gratulations.
The United States has agreed in
the peace treaty to carry all the
Spanish troops from the Philippine
Islands to Spain. The job is of con
siderable magnitude and expense,
and will require about twenty large
transport ships.
Atlanta now has within her gates,
guests of honor, a number of the
most notable public men of the na
tion, statesmen, army and navy offi
cers, chief among them President
McKinley. The occasion is the
Peace Jubilee of that great southern
city.
There will be very little general
legislation before congress until af
ter the Christmas and New Year
holidays. There will be considerable
discussion concerning the control of
our acquired territory, and the con
struction. of a ship canal across Nic
aragua.
Give Them Tlarfeets.
Whatever has been said or may
hereafter be said concerning the
condition of agriculture in Georgia,
the greatest need of the farmers
now is ready market for their prod
ucts.
We tell them that cotton cannot
take the place of food crops, and
they know it. But it remains a fact
that they cannot sell their food
products at profitable prices except
in limited quantities.
Take any product you will, com,
meat, lard, oats, wheat, peas, syrup,
hay, there is no positive mercantile
demand that would warrant the
general production of these articles
for regular market. It is true, how
ever, that the merchants .and capi
talists can make a positive aiid con
stant market for any or all of these
if they would.
Take meat as an example. We are
satisfied the farmers of this section
of Georgia can raise hogs as cheap
ly as can any farmers in the Union.
Yet there is absolutely no market
for this product other than that af
forded by the local demand. Even
this is restricted-to fresh pork. The
same is true of cattle. But if there
was in Georgia an extensive plant
for the preparation of meat for the
general market our farmers would
find ready sale at all times of the
year for all the hogs, cattle, sheep
and goats they could raise.
There would be ready money all
the year round, and Georgia would
be quickly converted into an excep
tionally prosperous stock-raising sec
tion. This would lead to other in
dustries, and in direct sequence all
the excellent advantages of this
most favored country would be prof
itably utilized.
President McKinley and several
members os his cabinet will be in
Macon next Monday, guests of the
city. The railroads will sell round-
trip tickets at a greatly reduced
rate. There will be a review of the
troops encamped there, 7,000, at 9:-
30 a, m.
The Peace Jubilee edition of the
Atlanta Constitution was a gem of
typographic and journalistic art.
There were fifty-two pages, carrying
a splendid illustration of Atlanta’s
■ push, persistency and success to
thousands of readers throughout
this great country.
The legislature last week cut the
common schools appropriation $200,-
000, the reduction being from $1,-
000,000 to $800,000. It is estimated
that this will afford a term of 5
months next year and the year fol-j Americus district,
lowing. Then, probably, the appro
priation may be restored to the 1898
figures.
Gen. Calixto Garcia, tha famous
Cuban soldier and patriot, died in
Washington City last Sunday morn
ing. He came to this country at the
head of a commission to consult with
President McKinley concerning the
political future of Cuba. He con
tracted a slight cold in New York;
last week; pneumonia ensued, and
death followed. Cuba has ' lost a
true, steadfast and brave friend, the
world a patriot. His last words
were of his country.
Last Sunday morning the Atlanta
Constitution said of the legislature:
“Up to this time a number of bills
of general interest have been killed,
but not one has been enacted into
law, and it may be said, in all truth,
that the general assembly of 1898 is
turning into the homestretch with
every prospect of having to do most
of its work with the wire in sight.
The house has adopted both the ap
propriation and general tax bills,and
and has sent them to the senata, but
in doing so the house has by no
means fixed the tax rate nor satisfied
in full the demand for a reduction in
expenditures.”
The peace treaty between the
United States and Spain was signed
by the commissioners at Paris last
Saturday, and our commissioners
will doubtless be home before
Christmas. The treaty will not be
made public in its entirety until the
United States Senate considers it in
executive session. It is known, how
ever, that the treaty follows closely
the lines of the protocol upon which
it is based. Spain relinquishes sov
ereignty over Cuba, while Porto Ri
co and the Philippine Islands are
ceded to the United States. Spain
will receive $20,000,000 to cover
Philippine Island expenses. The
suspense is at an end, but there are

The 1898 annual session of the
South Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
was concluded at Hawkinsville last
Monday morning. The good peo
ple of that thriving city entertained

Daring this year Macon eounty
convicts have worked in the Hous
ton county chaingang, under con
tract between the commissioners of
the two counties. It now' seems
that the contract is distasteful to
the Macon county authorities.
Messrs. Frederick and Hicks, of
the Macon county board, have been
appointed a committee to make a
new contract. Of the old contract
the Macon County Citizen says:
“Under the old contract with
Houston county the labor of a con
vict was paid for in monthly in
stallments of $4.00, and it has re
sulted in confusion and a great
deal of inconvenience to the offi
cers of the court and the commis
sioners. It was the only contract
that could be made at the time,
and the committee will doubtless
remember the unpleasant experi
ence of the year in making the
new contract and insist that the
new lessees shall not get the earth.”
The Houston commissioners
don’t want all the earth, and they
may not want the Macon county
convicts next year. If a new con
tract is made, the other side will
certainly be required to strictly
comply with the provisions thereof.
Commissioners’ Court.
County Commissioners’ Court of
Houston county met pursuant to ad

A Misplaced Lamp.
In a certain Perry household,
one evening last week, the house
keeper couldn’t find her safe and
pantry keys when the rime to “give-
out supper” came.
Diligent search, in which every
member of the household engaged,
was made without avail. No rea
sonable, or unreasonable, place for
the keys to be was left unexamin-
ed. Finally there was a “make
shift” sapper, secured down town.
About an hour later the lost keys
were foand, in plain view on a ta
ble on the back porch. They were
there all the time during the search,
but there was a large lamp on top
of them.
It is well not to let your lamp be
covered by a bushel, or anything
'else, but it would also be well not
to let your lamp cover the keys to
the provision closet.
