Pees. Kruger has escaped from
South Africa, and will take refuge
in Holland.
There was snow in Wisconsin last
Sunday, with the thermometer at 20
degrees above zera.
Wesleyan Female College opened
the fall term with over 212 students,
and there will be more.
Georgia towns and villages with
out manufacturing are not increas

(PIThe people of Macon and their
visitors will have a big tini3 during
the street fair in that city next week.
Good prices for cotton counter
acts the ills of a short crop. Geor

dependence than in many years.
The southern farmer will gain an
other signal business victory when
sweet potatoes become a staple arti

east.
Delegates to the Cuban constitu

the provinces of the island last Sun

points.
The coal miners’ strike in Penn

the republican claim of increasing
wages and prosperity among labor

In point of post-office receipts,
Atlanta is in a list of thirty leading
cities of the United States. The
Gate City is sure to be in the push
continually.
Col. John P. Shannon, former leg
islator, state senator and past grand
master of the Grand Lodge of Ma

Elberton last Sunday morning.
There should be no lukewarmness
in Georgia politics because of the
certainty of democratic success in
the state. Our nominated candi
dates are entitled to a full vote.
There has been more fighting in
China between international troops
and Boxers, and it is feared much
more will follow. There is much
disagreement between the powers.

Valdosta.
Mckinley’s letter of acceptance
was a disappointment to his politi

A Jones county fair is being held
at Bound Oak this week. For prac
tical home benefits, county fairs are
better than those on a more expen
sive scale. It would materially ad
vance the agricultural interests of
the state should there be a fair in
each county in Georgia every year.
The war in South African has
been about ended, though there are
a few thousand Boers under arms,
and terms of peace have not been
arranged. The brave defenders of
liberty in the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State were simply defeat
ed by the overwhelming force of
•numbers.
The Road to Prosperity.
Progressive steps in business are
the only means by which individu
als and communities can get into
the road to prosperity.
As the farmers gain headway on
the road to prosperity, nearing the
goal of financial independence, cer
tain lines of mercantile businsss
must necessarily be curtailed, unless
there be an increase of population
through the introduction of indus
tries that make of raw materials ar
ticles of use.
In other words, communities oth
er than those devoted entirely to
agriculture cannot continue progres
sively prosperous without manufac
turing industries of some character.
Figures of the recent census al
ready show that those towns and
cities have grown in population
most wherein factories have been
established since 1890.
Without exception every cotton
mill, or other factory, established in
Georgia within recent years has
caused an increase of population
and prosperity where located. The
argument and the illustration are
not new, and the full force thereof
is recognized by all thinking busi
ness men. Strange to say, however,
the people of some towns fail to
catch the inspiration, and seem con
tent to jog along in the old rats and
take what comes their way. *
There are numbers of instances
where factories have been built od
installment payments of subscrip
tion, going steadily on in the work
of making goods for the people gen
erally and profits for the stockhold
ers.
Bonaire Agricultural Club.
Mb. Editor:—In your issue of two
or three weeks ago you remarked
that “you did not know whether our
agricultural society had been organ
ized or not.” Yes, we organized,
with a good number of members,
both men and women, but we have
Endured Dentil Agonies.
Only a roaring fire enabled J.
M. Garrettson, of San Antonio,
Tex., to lie down when attacked
by Asthma, from which he suffer

seemed he endured the agonies of
.. . _ 0 death; but Dr. Kings New Discov-

The Macon Street Fair.
Beginning next Monday, next week
will be full of sight-seeing in Macon.
The street fair will occupy a half-
mile of the park on Third street,
and pleasure will reign throughout.
There will be a floral parade; agri
cultural, industrial, commercial, flo
ral, stock, chicken and other exhib
its will be presented in attractive
style. Amusements will be present
ed in great variety, jnusic, parades,
shows, extraordinary displays of fire
works at night, street masquerade,
crowning of the floral queen, etc.,
besides a brigade reunion of confed
erate veterans.
Enumerate all the attraciions we
cannot, but there will be free show
enough all the time, day and night.
The railroabs have arranged con
venient schedules, going in early
and coming out late, and the pas
sengar rate is one fare for the round
trip.
Besides all this, you can trade
while in the city. As to choice firms
to buy from, read the advertise
ments in the Home Journal.
Held for stricken Galveston has
been heartily accorded from all sec
tions of this country, and from Eng
land, the aggregate amount contrib
iited being more than $1,000,000 in
value. The latest estimate is that
the death list is more than 5,000,
and the property loss many millions.
It is said the city will be rebuilt.
Editor McIntosh of the Albany
Herald says: “We have enjoyed
many a good country dinner in
south Georgia which probably did
not cost five cents a plate. Not on
ly cheap living, but good living as
well, is had in the country by thrift
and by producing a variety of food
crops on the farm.”
With the complications in China
and the contentions with the uncon
querable Fifipinos, this government
seems to be tending toward an un
enviable position “between the devil
and the deep blue sea.” To avoid
such a situation the defeat of Mc
Kinley in the November election is
necessary.
In a great battle the odds are al
ways against the party attacking an
entrenched position. The republican-
party is so situated, and the demo
crats must use their superior ammu
nition and patriotism to the very
best advantage, else they cannot
capture the stronghold.
Mr. T; A. Jacobs, who has been with
Eads, Neel & Co. for the past ten years,

and will welcome his many friends who
call upon him, giving them his personal
attention.
pose to meet once a month—Satur
day 3 p. m. before the third Sunday
—and cordially invite all who feel
interested in the prosperity and wel
fare of the farmers. Let us give our
experiences, “ups and downs,” and
benefit each other,
f After we get to moving on, we
propose to have contests on different
products, not for the ..money that
will be in them, but for pleasure and
improvement in our methods of
farming. We know and well re
member the benefits resulting from
the “Idyle Wild” club of the past,
and why should not the Bonaire
Club of the present approximate its
results? We can see no reason to
prevent. Only let each member,
male and female, put their hearty
good will to the wheels and push
with a vim. Much good will be ac
complished, agriculturally and so
cially.
We don’t propose to mar or im
pede “The Cotton Growers’ Pro
tective Association” interest- in the
least, but do all we can to benefit
ourselves.
We charge no fee for membexship.
It will cost only a little time (a half
day per month), for which we ex
pect good pay.
More anon. Respectfully,
Quid.
Hon. W. J. Bryan’s letter of ac
ceptance was published Tuesday. It
is characteristic of the man, strong,
clear, positive. He illustrates the
strong points of the democratic plat
form, and points out republican du
plicity and weakness. As before^he
emphasizes imperialism as the para
mount issue, but shows the great
harm being done by trusts, and
gives his positive views concerning
all other issues pertinent to the
campaign.
Another missing word contest has
been arranged by the Atlanta Week
ly Constitution for September and
October. One-tenth of the money
received on subscriptions during the
time will be divided between the
cash subscribers who supply the cor
rect word. The sentence is as fol
lows: “There are a number ■ of our
men here among the residents and
hidden in the cloisters; but for the
fear of the they do not let
themselves be seen.” Subscribe for
the Weekly Constitution at this of-
'fiee, and get the two gapers- one
year for $2.10. Each such subscrib
er is entitled to a guess.
Thl Macon Shoe Co. begins busi

The members of the company need
no introduction to Houston people.
In addition to members of the com

F. W. Kilpatrick, formerly with Roff
Sims & Co., are serving customers
with their accustomed cleverness.
The half-page advertisement in the
Home Journal this week gives fit

tablishment—not one word too much
is said. Call and see.
Miss Jewett,- the Boston white

Southwest Georgia will see times
of wonderful prosperity this fall and
winter unless the bottom drops out
of the cotton market. Our farmers
are learning the lesson of diversified
farming, and their cotton brings in
surplus money to provide comforts

For the lack of room and suffi

Poisonous toadstools resembling

Hon. Pope Brown is expected soon
to announce himself a candidate to
succeed Gov. Candler as governor of
Georgia in 1902. He has a strong
following now, and with a clever
campaign will win.
Roosevelt seems to be the mouth
piece of the republican campaign,
It is certainlv large and loud enough
to fill the bill.
Bryan is a one-term man, and
pledges himself not to offer for re
election if chosen president. ’
