THE BEST FENCING. Woven Steel \pire, Heavy Galvanized, Stands Every Test. The development of fencing, from the stone walls of England and the snake fence of Virginia, through all the heart-breaking ex periences of .farmers with barbed wire and fence building machines, has been such a slow process, that many farmers began to‘lose faith in the perfection of a good wire fence, until the American Field and Hog Fence appeared. This highly satisfactory fence has been improved and now is so perfect that ail fencing shipped from the factories of the makers is guaranteed. It is made of heavy Bessemer steel wife. This wire is heavily galvanized and is then woven in a costly machine of such delicate adjustment, and the weaving is done with such exact ness that when the fence is sub jected to a strain of’ ten or fifteen tons, every wire receives exactly the same amount of strain as every other wire in proportion to its breaking strain. The Ameri can fencing is delivered in rolls nil ready to streach and staple to the posts. It comes in heights from 20 inches to 58 inches. It is so quickly adjusted that three men can put up a mile of it in a day after the posts are set. low Rates via Central of Georgia Railway. Georgia Chautauqua, Albany, Ga., April 20-27,1902.

Cleveland and Bryan. New York’s Most Famous Wedding. Perhaps the most sensational ceremony of marriage that has ev er been performed in New York Birmingham News. _Mr. Cleveland was 65 years old March 18, and is reported to be th^mei-irbon ^ f n !^ versaries > i was the oue known every where in ed the mKl the United States as the “Dia- ea, tne mind grows retrospective, and Cleveland yesterday must ha,ve found much upon which to felicitate himself. He has lived to see his statesmanship vindica ted. Pie has lived to see a grdat change in public sentiment to ward himself. He is surrounded by a loving and happy family. He has attained the highest rung of political distinction, and the strifes and struggles are behind him. The suggestion, a linger ing relic of the freuzied mania that pictured Clevlaud a few years ago an ally of Wall street, has been made that he will again as pire to the Presidency. Those who> have observed Mr. Cleve land’s sturdy Amerioanship know better. He lias ho aspiration to be an officeholder nor a boss. He is passing the evening of his life as he would wish, and in follow ing the dictates of his desires is an exemplar also of the best type of-American citizenship. Here’s wishing him many happy returns of the day.” Of Mr. Bryan, The News says: “William Jennings Bryan March 19 celebrated his forty- second anniversary. In the prime of life, robust in health and mind, he is a sjffenclid type of manhood. Distinction came to him early, at an age when the great majority of able men are still obscure. That one differs from Mr. Bryan in some of his political views does not interfere with a recognition of his admira ble personal qualities. The puri ty of his private life, his integrity and his sincerity of conviction are bound to inspire esteem and respect independent of any opin ion of his political judgment. Mr. Bryan is a young man still. He will doubtless never again aspire to the Presidency, but in the ab sence of unforseen accident he is destined to be a political factor for many years to come/ Here’s to a long life and a happy one.” His System Failed. Dr. Saxton was a very learned man, with thin skin that redden ed on the slightest provocation, and very light—not to say white— eyelashes. In the hard days im mediately after the Civil War in the absence of other employment, the good Doctor took charge of the village school, and was soon nearly beside himself with what seemed the impossible task of get ting little Willie Brewer to learn his abc’s. Finally Doctor Saxton resorted to a system of mnemon ics original with himself and be gan with what he thought were the easiest letters. “Now, Willie,” he said, “when you come to this long, straight letter just think of your eye. Re member, now, that is ‘I.’ ” But when Willie came bafft to the Doctor’s knee an hour later he had forgotten. “What is that my son?” inquir ed the Doctor. “I do’ know.” “Ok, yes, you do. What is it?” encouragingly. “I do’ know,” with mournful conviction. • “What do you see here?” asked the Doctor, pointing his .forefinger close to his own eye and involun tarily shutting and squinting up that organ as he did so. Willie looked earnestly and much longer than seemed neces sary, “I don’t see nothin’, ” he at last whispered out, “but six little white hair§.”—March Wo man’s Home Companion. mond Wedding.” It was the un ion of a daughter of Lieutenant Bartlett, of the United States Navy, to a Cuban gentleman of, great wealth,. Don Estaban Santa Crflz de Oviedo. As generous as he was opulent, Oviedo lavished upon the bride more than one hundred thousand dollars’ worth of pearls and diamonds. The nup tial rites were solemnized by Arch bishop Hughes; Stedmau com memorated the event in a poem, and moralists pointed to it as an extraordinary instance of the evils of splendor and luxury that were corrupting American society. So great was the curiosity to witness this wedding that proba bly for the first time on such an occasion cards of admission were issued to the ohurqh. A squad of policemen was required simply to protect the bride and groom from strangers who.rushed after them. The magnificent nuptals,it may be remarkedj had a melancholy sequel: the bridegroom soon died; his widow, under the Spanish laws, was entitled only to the right of dower, and all the gifts which he had showered upon her were taken away from her on the ground that legally they were heirlooms.—March Ladies’ Home Journal, It May be Gorman and Hanna. Col. R. E. 'Lester, congressman from the 1st district, has been in congress many years, and is one of the closest observers and ablest men in that body from the south. The Washington correspondent of the Morning News quotes Qol- Lester as predicting that Arthur P. Gorman will be the nominee of the democratic party for presi dent. Gorman is, undoubtedly, one of the ablest and shrewdest men in the democratic party. The south would take to him very kindly. And Col. Lester does not believe that Rroosevelt will be nominated by the republicans. He thinks Senator Hanna will get the nomitation? On this point he is quoted as saying: “From what T can hear the re publicans are rallying around Hanna to bring the party into accord once more. I consider Mr. Hanna’s chances for the nomina tion quite ahead of any other re publican. The business men look upon him as a safe business man, and that element in the republi can party, will, I believe, insist upon his nomination.” The Value of Cotton Seed. the home journal, PERRY, GA.
