T |i : :HwksS0VSMm PfilOB, SI.GO A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Horning. JitO 5E.ICODGEB, Bditqr and Publisher Perry, Thursday, December 26. '! ■■■!••' ' ' "V - - ""~ 1901 is passing away. The candidates for govenior will soon be cordially active. Thoughts of a fruit crop in Geor gia next year are' already being en tertained. The republican .party is a trust product and should bo outlawed by the voters. — Don’t make any good resolutions unless you are determined they shall not be violated. >-0-4 The reporters say there’s some thing tho matter with Hanna, polit ically speaking. The weather last v. eek was colder in the south than waB evor before known miring a week in December. The liquor question will be the leading issue in the legislative cam paign in many Georgia counties next year. •— ¥~ f> —«* - ■- - It seems that the United St&tos ^government is preparing to squeeze the Philippine Islands with both hands. ’•'* —-w ———— Iir the oat crop has boon destroy ed tbero will be positive noed for the planting of some other orop that ‘will afford early forage. On December 3lst the Cuban presidential election will take place. There are fears that there will be turbulence and bloodshed. Charles Ei^ory Smith has resign ed the cabinet office of postmaster general, and Henry G. Payne, of Wisconsin, has been appointed to succeed him. —- ^ * ——. The increasing prices of- corn and wheat should speak in thunder tones to Georgia farmers. Cotton money eauuot be profitably used to buy corn at $1.00 per bushel. . Senator Bacon, opposed the new canal treaty between England and the United States because, he says, the authority of this government is top much restricted thereby. A sensational report that Presi dent Roosevelt was assaulted on the streets of Washington last Thursday is unqualifiedly denied by the presi dent and by Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador.J Fruit men in this soction of Geor gia say that there are good practical reasons why there should not be a total failure of the peach crop, un less the weather be unusually cold after the blooms come. The tariff laws applied to tho Philippine Islands by our congress am*those enacted for foreign coun tries. Yet r the people who enacted those tariff laws sav that the Philip pine Islands belong to the United States. The Old and The New. Within a week the old year, 1901, will have become a period of history, its record complete. The year 1902 begins then, and it will be as the people make it. Because of this transition, this pe riod each year is peculiar. With most people tlie time is devoted exclusive ly to pleasure seeking, with seeming ly no. thought of the future. Just where the fault is for all the wrong that is done during Christ mas week, it is difficult to say. Much of course is due to environment, and the custom of license that has pre vailed for many yearB, but more iB due towndividual carelessness, to use a mild Word. However the record of Christmas week may be, there must be a begin ning of a now year, and if there has been bad action in the old year, there must be much good in "the new, else tho record of that will be worse than tho old. Tho individuals must choose. May the choice be right. * An Endless Qhain Affair. Within the last sevoral weeks many young women at Perry, and throughout the county, no doubt, have rocoivod numerous letters offer ing $20 pel- month for writing sev eral hours each day at home. One of the propositions is that the recipient of the proposition pell 25 cherry trees at $1.00 each, remit the amount to tho company through the writer of tho letter, and then she will become an agent of tho compa ny at $20 per month. The duties of each agent will be to write letters to induce other y cuing women te sell cherry trees and in turn become agents of the cherry tree company. It is suggested that pay for the trees may be forwarded at once, and the sales made afterward, thas be coming a paid agent at onco. "It is readily Been that the sale of the trees at an exorbitant price is the main purpose, and to extend without limit the work of sending in to the company the price of tho trees. « Au exceedingly good scheme for the cherry tree company, but there is Bure to be a collapse, and there will be loss to somebody other than the originator of the scheme. On the same theory and practice agents for the sale of a patent fish net are being sought. Each ndw agent must send in a cash order before work for pay can begin, and the greater tlie number of agents, the greater the amount of cash that goes to the company, even if through the efforts of the agents no aotual sales are made.

It transpires, however, that the gift is to be in steel trust bonds, and not cash. This causes a hitch, and it is said that cash only can be soce At intervals during the past few years the editor of The Ladies Home Journal has attacked the “cram ming” and “pushing” systems so prevalent among the schools of this country. Each editorial given to this subject has brought hundreds of letters, most of them not only ac knowledging the wrong, but adding, as well, strong and sad proofs to the statements made. These letters were kept. In the January issue of The Journal the editor’s page is occupied by brief excerpts from sixty-eight of them. They are “dedicated to the American parent,” and classed under three heads: “A Roll for Ed ucators to Ponder Over,” ‘.‘A Roll for Parents to Think Over,” and “A Rvll Which Speaks for Itself.” There are no names, dates or localities men tioned. Nothing but the unsought testimony of a few out of the thous ands who are suffering the silence of this “sorrowful tribute to modern schooling.” Here is one of the six ty-eight: “Our poor little boy, just previous to his passing away, went into a de lirium of fear that he would not get his ‘marks.’ His dread was some thing pitiable. —Best $2.50 Shoes made,at Fred.\ MV Houser’ s.
