times in the ten years of my prac
tice. Other lines of business seem
to be prospering, but ours certainly
is not. Of course a few big lawyers
are doing pretty well, bnt the mass
of us are not getting what we ex
pected to realize from the wave of
prosperity. I don’t know, much
about politics, but daring the free
silver campaign I was told that
when business was good men would
sue and be sued; but that when
there was no money floating around
and nothing was doing litigation
would stop, because the people
would not have the money to pay
lawyers’ fees. It seemed fearfully
dull for us when business was stag
nated and everything was selling so
cheap. I thought we were having a
hard enough time then, but, now,
since the boom has come and every
thing has' gone up so high that a
man can hardly buy enough food to
eat, the situation seems to be get
ting worse-and worse for the legal
profession. The lawyer’s business
has not increased along with that of
his neighbor. People are not re
sorting to law as much even as they
did when times were dull, and they
did very little ‘lawing’ then. I think

How the Entries Stand.
It takes a wise man to keep up
with the entries in each presidential
race, to say nothing of keeping in
formed on the issues at stake.
The present campaign forms no
exception to the rule, as the follow

testify:

It is not likely that the majority
of these named, will even be mtn-
tioned in the discussions of the
campaign, but they will all serve in
certain localities for the disarrange
ment of the plans of the leading
candidates, and in a clofe vote be
tween the two leaders would pre
vent a popular majority for any of
them. It must not be forgotten, al
so, that some of them have their
price and will be kept in the field
for the purpose of splitting the vote.
Josiah Allen’s Wife Goes a-Visitin’.
“Josiah Allen’s Wife” has sharp
ened up her pen again, and with her
patient, amiable and unobtrusive
husband “goes a-visitin’” for The
Ladies’ Home Journal. Every one,
knowing that Josiah’s wife is “ob-
sarvant” and “critikal,” can antici
pate that in laying bare the short
comings and mistakes of. those she
visits she will have abundant oppor
tunity for the exercise of her quaint
humor and homely philosophy. In
the course of her “visitin’ ” she finds
many things to set right, and there
is a definite purpose underlying all
her sketches. “Josiah and [ Go a-
Visitin’ ” is perhaps the best series
that Mrs. Holly has ever written—
superior even to her description of
the Centennial which established
her reputation as a humorist philos
opher of the first order. - The first
sketch of this new series will be
published in the August Journal.

, Deplorable, if True.
Methodist people used to be noted
for singing. They used to sing and
shout old satan’s kingdom down, but
either the Elijay Methodists are not
of the true John and Charles Wes-
le} type, or else they have backslid
den in the. particular of church mu
sic.—Ellijay Courier.
Yes, they have lost the art—or,
rather the religion—in the towns of
south Georgia, too. As soon as a
church is able to employ a preacher
for two Sundays in a month they or
ganize a choir ahd set it up in the
corner to do the sing mg and to be
looked at. The choir learns a few
new songs which are sung for style,
while the congregation sits in si
lence and is robbed of the salt of the
service, while the spirit of the meet
ing is lost in form. With a choir to
do the singing and a preacher to do
our praying, we have only to pay the
freight, keep up the machinery and
watch the styles.—Vienna Progress.
The Birmingham Age-Herajd

take any one into his confidence.
The independent voter is a man who
does his own thinking and voting,

A curious discoi ery was made last
month at Damendorf, in Schleswig.
Some workmen, while digging peat,
found a well-preserved corpse in the
peat, clothed in a coarse woolen ma
terial, with red hair and with san
dals on the feet. Dr. Splieth, of
Kiel, who was at once informed of
the discovery, estimated the age of
the body at about 1,500 years. A
few years ago several coins were al
so found near the same place, which
were believed by experts to belong
to the first centuries after Christ.

we extend a hearty invitation'to come
with their skill and capital, with toe
assurance that they wili improve their
own condition and at too same time
help to make Georgia in dairying, what
she has long been in other’’ things, the
Empire State of the South. Of course
our Northern friends must be convinced
that success awaits their efforts here.
We propose to give them the proofs.
First of all toe climate is a most -import
ant factor in our favor. The dairyman
does not need to go to the expense oi
housing his cattle for months, bnt re
quires only such a simple shelter as will
afford protection to them for g. few
weeks. His cattle will find excellent
pasturage from eight to ten months of
toe year supplied by toe best of all
grasses, our Georgia Bermuda, eqtial to
toe Timothy of the Northwest, which
grows luxtu iantly and when cured
makes a most excellent hay for onr short
winter. , •
There is no better food for our cattle
than toe peavine hay, one of toe easiest
crops grown on onr land and very rich
in value as a milk producer. We regard
it as the salvation of our lands and toe
delight of toe milch cow. Our lands
produce also rescue or arctic grass, and
crab grass, affording pastures new and
ample, toe various clovers, barley, rye,
oats, sugar cane, sorghum and com for
age. Our cotton seed, after the oil has
been pressed out, also furnish toe cakes,
considered among toe best food for cat
tle, as well as toe cheapest. “A penny
saved is a penny earned, ” and one cent
a pound saved by cheapening food is as
good as one cent a pound for butter
and cheese. By using cotton seed meal
cakes, cotton seed hulls and a little
wheat brim, a cow can be fed at a cost of
seven cents a day. Corn ensilage is
claimed by some to be the cheapest of
all foods for cattle. Its succulent and
beneficial effects make.it doubly vain-
able. The experience fit Mr. T. R. Saw-
tell of Atlanta, will give some idea of
toe low price at which cattle can he fed.

then he said:
