Mossy Hill Notes.
It is reported that a syndicate of
English capitalists has bought the
Cramps’ shipbuilding establishment
at Philadelphia. The deal involves
the payment of several millions of
dollars.
The Georgia legislature may ad
journ for the term next Saturday.
As to the enactment of general laws,
our representatives and senators
have been decidedly negative, and
they and the state may be congratu
lated.
The products of southern soil this
year are estimated to be worth in
cash $1,508,000,000. This valuation
does not include the increased value
of manufactured articles of cotton
wood, iron or any other natural
product. ,

War taxes will be reduced $40,-
000,000, and about one-fourth of
the amount will come off of beer.
All stamp tax on checks, notes,
mortgages, deeds, etc., will be re
moved. The bill has been reported
to congress.
At the state convict ffarm near
Milledgeville, the building for wo
men -was destroyed by fire last
Thursday. The loss is estimated at
$5,000, with no insurance. A sys
tem of waterworks is now under
construction,
Op the wealth of the United
States the south has only 20 per
cent, though containing 25 per cent
of the area, 33 per cent of the pop
ulation, all the cotton, 86 per cent
of the tobacco, and 35 per cent of
the coal area.
On Tuesday there was in the state

at once. This amount will pay the
salaries of all the public school
teachers one month.
Georgia legislators refused to re
peal the law providing for the elec
tion of judges and solicitors by pop
ular vote, because one election is
not sufficient trial. Yet they repeal
ed the law taxing dogs that had not
been tried at all. Politics evidently
controlled these contradictory ac
tions.
Trusts have been perniciously act
ive in an increased degree since the
endorsement of republican politics
in November. President McKinley
intimated in his message that most
trusts are good, it is evident they
were good enough to furnish the
money necessary to elect republican
presidential candidates.
An effort to make it a misdemean
or for owners of fowls to allow them

BY SOCKS.
Everybody is beginning to talk
about Christmas; even the hens have
begun to cackle about it—that is,
what hen’s haven’t gone on a strike.
We anticipate rather a dull Christ
mas at our home, as all the little
stockings have accepted invitations
from friends to spend the time away.
But if nothing happens we will stir
a bowl of nog and otherwise manu
facture a little amusement to kill
time.
Syrup boiling has been the order
of the day lately on the Hill, and
long sweetness is plentiful.
We never saw as many fine fat
tening hogs in this community as
there are now, and it makes a fel
low’s mouth water to think of the
backbones, spareribs and the like
that are in sight. My, me! how
wish I had a sausage as long as
from here to Perry right now, and
every link in it as long as a fence
rail.
There will be some' changes on
the Hill next year. Mr. F. A. Pool
one of the best young farmers in the
county, will move here; also Mi-. M,
J. McElhenny of Jasper county,
Mrs. Minnie Hurdle has recently
moved near Henderson. We all re
gret to lose Mrs. Hurdle as a neigh
bor.
Our school closed last week, and
now all the boys and girls are in for
fun and frolic. The patrons of the
school are very much pleased
know that Miss Alyce Barfield will
have charge of the school again,
One of the most delightful social
affairs of the season was the “At
Home” of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wim
berly last Thursday evening, in hon
or of Messrs. Hodge and Hardison,
and Miss Maggie Marr. Mr. and
Mrs. Wimberly always have the hap
pj tact of entertaining with such
ease and grace that makes their en
tertainments -the most enjoyable,
The parlors and dining room were
prettily decorated with palms and
roses. Delicious refreshments were
served, and the entire evening was
one of pleasure aud happiness to all.
The beauty and chivalry of Perry
were out. Among them were: Mr.
J. R. Miller and Miss Mattie Emile
Lawson, Mr. Miller Marshall and
Miss Clara Dasher, Mr. Houser Ed
wards aud Miss Nell Rogers, Mr.
Clinton Cooper and Miss Louise Ri
ley, Mr. Howard Miller and Miss
Evelyn Powers. Among others were
Mr. A. C. Pate and Miss Maggie
Barfield of Emerich, Dr. Eugene C,
and Miss Mary Brown of Grovania,
Mr. C. E. Eubanks and Miss Mamie
Brown of Elko, Mr. Jack Hodge and

The Irl R. Hicks’ 1901 Almanac.
Latest reports from Pekin are to
the effect that the representatives of
the powers have agreed upon the
terms of settlement with China.
Heretofore the demands of some of
the powers have been so extreme as
to rpnder it practically impossible
for the Chinese authorities to accept.
All the time this government favor
ed modified demands, and now the
agreement is practically as Secretary
Hay, of the United States,proposed.
A bill to subsidise ships built and
owned in the United States and to
be used in commerce, is being con
sidered in the federal Benate. A
treaty between this country and
England concming the proposed
Nicaraguan canal is also being dis
cussed. Following, the bill provid
ing for the construction of the canal
will be considered. The adminis
tration insists that the treaty,known
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, be
ratified.
In a personal letter to the editor
of the Home Journal from Hon. W.
J. Bryan, written at Lincoln, Ne
braska, on the 5 th inst., the follow
ing is the concluding sentence: “An
election does not change the char
acter of principles, and believing
the Kansas City platform is sound,
we must continue the struggle until
events either vindicate our conten
tion or convince us of our error.”

Whatever may be said of the sci
entific causes upon which the Rev.
Irl R. Hicks bases his yearly fore
casts of storm and weather, it is a
remarkable fact that specific warn
ings of every great storm, flood, cold
wave and drouth, have been plainly
printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruc
cion of Galveston, Texas, on the
very day named by Prof. Hicks in
his 1900 Almanac, as one of disaster
by storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re
markable book of nearly two hun
dred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engrav
ings, goes as a premium to every
subscriber who pays one dollar a
year for Prof. Hicks’ journal, “Word
and Works.” The Almanac alone is
sent prepaid for only 25c. Order

‘ ‘I tried many remedies to cure
piles,” writes W. R. Smith, of
Latham, 111., “but found no relief
till I used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
I have not been troubled with

pion pile cure on earth and the
best salve in the world. 25c per

This is a graded school of high order,
and under competent instructors it read
ily rauks with the best high schools of
the state.
The incidental fee must be paid in
cash to the secretary and treasurer of
the board, Mr. B. C. Holtzclaw, before
pupils will be permitted to enter the
school.
It will be more beneficial to the chil
dren, more agreeable to the teachers and
more satisfactory to the Board of Edu-
catiouand and parents if each child is
permitted to enter on the first day of the
term, and not be allowed to miss even
one recitation during the entire session.

friends were present. After the cer
emony, congratulations, etc., the loi -
ing couple went to Grovania, where
they boarded the south bound train
for Pinehurst, thence to the home of ■
the groom’s father, where a recep
tion was in wait for them. On Fri
day they returned to Grovania, and
will make their home there. The
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Mercer. She was one
of Hayneville’s most popular young
ladies, and will be greatly missed
from social circles. The groom is a
son of Mr. M iles Fitzgerald of Doo

young man full of pluck and energy.
