She, at the time of her death, resided in Macon, but was brought to the Houston Factor}- and buried in the Baptist Church burying grounds Sunday, June 16th. ' yiiss Annie was a good girl, and had a sweet smile for all. She will be missed by her sister, but, dear sister, she is in company with her parents and sister awaiting your coming. Only strive to meet her in Heaven and there you will have to part no mors. She gave her heart to Christ three weeks before death came. Those that came to work in the Lord’s vineyard at the eleventh hour received as much pay as the first that came. Although she was the bed of affliction a long- on time, she said, “Christ has been merciful to me.” This bereavement is beyond our comforting power, but the Heav enly Father will console, for “He doeth all things for the best.” The bereaved sister and other rel atives have the sympathy of their nuiny friends. A Friend. A Southern Man For President. Atlanta Constitution. The discussion as to whether a. southern man might not. be nomi nated for president, seems to have in mind the democratic party on- ty- 1 For some benevolent reason re publican newspapers are asking the question as to whether the south, the mother of our early presidents, should not resume the business of furnishing presiden tial material. The discussion is intended, of course, to demoralize public opinion without any idea of developing such a nomination. The Nashville American declares that even “the republicans would not dare to nominate a southern republican for president, because they know the time has not yet arrived when a southern man can be elected.” Nevertheless, we would suggest to the republican leaders the ad visability of putting up a south ern candidate. They are loud, in declaiming against sectionalism and accuse; the democratic party of being of sectional character, powis the time for them to prove their own freedom from sectional ism by naming a southern repub lisan to succeed Mr. McKinley.

Gradually the census figures which have been giving us totals in population for states and cit ies are coming to the details in which lie their most interesting revelations. The latest group of statistics gives us a notion of how small a part ol the Union, terri- torily considered, is engaged in the first process of assimilating the hordes of new-comers from foreign lands. The extreme percentages of for eign-born citizens in the country are found in the East and North east, and the next greatest in the Northern Central division—the group of states including Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. That New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massackutetts have the larger proportions of the foreign-born will not come as a surprising rev elation, since the average immi gration returns show that about 89 per cent, of the arrivals from abroad settle in the section cover ed by there States. About a quar. ter of the Connecticut population is foreign-born. The South bears little share, as yet,in the work of receiving and developing new citizens. The sta tistics for 1900 thus far announc ed cover only Alabama, and Ar kansas, but the 1 per cent, of for eign-born whites reported there will be found to cover most other States in the same sestion. The negro situation has much to do with this, and in the rapidly de veloping “New South” very dif ferent conditions may yet prevail. Of course the character of immi grants has to be considered in lo cating them. Men who come es pecially to dig coal in Pennsylva nia cannot well be shifted else where. But the old reception Stat es are filling up. It will be nec essary, at some not distant day, to consider in connection with immigrants the uncrowded our vastness of the West west. and South- It Dazzles The World. No discovery in medicine has ev er created one quarter of the ex citement that has been caused by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumdtion.

The mintage of these coins, however, has been verv large indeed, in other years, ranging from 85,000,000 in 1S95 to 49,000,000 in 1898. Few are presented for redemption at the Treasury, and an answer to the question: What becomes of the cents? wonfd be as difficulty as that to the inquiry as to the ulti mate fate of the pins. Hawkinsville Dispatch. One week ago last Friday morn ing the little two year old daugh ter of Mr. R. R. Lewis, living 9 miles out on the Spense place was bitten three or four times on her ankle by a rattle snake. Mr. Lewis happened to be up in the yard after water, and hearing the child scream went to her, and see ing the black and blue spots on the child’s ankle, surmised what was the matter. By this time the child ceuld not walk, the limb be gan to swell, the child to vomit and grow senseless. With great presence of mind he called for a bottle of iodine, which, fortunate ly, was in the house, and freely rubbed the wounds with the io dine. It seemed to give relief at once, and while the child was not ble to walx for a week, he" says she is now running abont and getting quite well again. The circumstances were so pe culiar, and the cure so remark able that all should know the facts. The snake was in a crack of one of the rails of the fence, near the top, which the child was climbing. It was afterward dis covered and killed. It was a small, two-year old, and 12 to 15 inches long. Of course the parents immedi ately brought the child to town for medical treatment, but Mr. Lewis feels that the iodine help ed to counteract the effects of the poisin, and at any rate helped to save the life of his child. Dignity of Agriculture. BUSINESS. Within recent years it has come to be acknowledged that the vo cation of the farmer is the most dignified of all the sciences, and as an art is excelled only by those of painting and architecure. In its highest forms it is ths most learned of all the professions. A knowledge of geology and cheim istry and their relation to the soils lies at the very foundation of scientific agriculture. The prob lems that arise from the complex nature of ’the soils and their ori gin require the best thought of the best minds to solve. More ed ucated young men should be farm ers. Agriculture opens a wide field leading to influence and power— one, too, that is not filled to re pletion. It holds forth the most splendid promises for young men of ambition.—Southern Farm Magazine. o ^ ^ w “j wish to truthfully state.to Muscles,” said Tommy gleefully, you an q the readers of these few Cf>7 1 • -TT/vnr TCndol DvSDeDSia lines that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best and only cure for dyspepsia I have ever come m con- ■ J t have used many No cure—no pay. 1-anything in the world is cal- Ijjlagt to make a person hot it is [ . eternal repetition of the ad- pce to keep cool. tact with and I Preparations.” John Beam, West Middlesex, Pa.” No preparation equals Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,as it contains all the natural degestants It wilMigest all kinds of food ajjd can’t Help but do you good.

Respectfully, HEARD BROTHERS, 350-352 Poplar St. MACON, GA. July 1st, 1901. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put. together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease,and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires a constitution al treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufac cured by F. J Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in dos es from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J. Cheney & Co.
