From the Monroe Advertiser, For
syth, Ga., we reproduce the follow-
ing:
“The average young man of the
present day may sometimes fail to
understand what true success means.
He reads in the daily papers columns
filled with the doings and sayings of
some prominent politician or profes
sional man, and his idea of success
is notoriety. He loses sight of the
fact that oftentimes the truly suc
cessful man is not the noisy publi
cist, but the quiet business man who
is reaping the substantial rewards of
life.
“A young man who is quietly but
steadily making his way forward in
the world toward true business suc
cess is Mr. J. Henry King. He is
well known to the people of For
syth, having been here for a year in
the employ of Messrs. J. J. Cater &
Bro. Prior to that time he had
been engaged for several years in
mercantile pursuits at Perry, Ga.
After leaving the Caters, he went to
Macon and aocepted a position with
the Strong Shoe Co. He is still
with that firm, making new custom
ers for the house and new friends
for himself daily. Quiet, courteous,
keenly awake to the interests and
needs of the shoe-wearing public,
looking especially after the trade of
his Forsyth and Monroe county
friends, he merits - the confidence
and patronage of all, and the Adver
tiser takes pleasure in commending
him to the trading public.”
It is ever a pleasure to voice a de
served compliment to a deserving
young man, especially one of Hous
ton county, most especially one of
Perry.
But it is a way our boys have, of
doing well what is their duty. What
is above said of one young man of
Houston and Perry, can be said with
equal force and truth of nearly ev
ery other who has engaged in busi
ness elsewhere. They seem to have
an earnest desire and a positive apt
itude to go toward the top.

Houston Without a Delegation.
In the Macon Telegraph last Tues
day appeared a list of the Georgia
delegates appointed by Gov. Cand
ler to attend the Farmers’ National
Congress on Oct. 7th to 10th.
Altogether, the delegates from the
state at large and the county dele
gates, there must be more than 500.
Alphabetically the names of 125
counties with their respective dele
gations are given, but Houston is
conspicuous by the absence of her
name from the list.
We cannot believe that Governor
Candler intentionally ignored Hous
ton, one of the very best agricultu
ral counties in the state. Therefore,
we call attention to the omission.
In the long list of delegates, fully
five columns, the name of only one
Houston farmer appears. Mr. J. M.
Frederick of Wellston is named as a
delegate from the state at large.

The school at Byron seems to
have entered an era of unusual pros
perity. The principal, Prof. M. C.
Mosley, of Elkin, N. 0., graduated
at the University of Nashville, and
toika course at the University of
Chicago. His assistant, M’ss Rosa
Colwell of Butler, has a fine reputa
tion as a teacher. They have the
confidence and co-operation of the
patrons, and we expect the sohool
to grow and flourish as never before.
A great revival, which had been
in progress for two and a half weeks
at the Methodist church, closed last
Wednesday night. The pastor, Rev.
B. E. Whittington, wfflFlfksisted by
Rev. Chas, Dunaway of Atlanta,
whose sole object in life is to win
souls to Christ, and to arouse the
church from the lethargy into which
it has fallen. Mr. H. J, Peavy very
kindly sent his piano to the church,
and with Tillman’s “Eleventh Hour”
song books, the music was no small
feature of the meeting. The Word
was preached in great power twice a
day, and cottage prayer meetings
were held in the afternoons. The
congregations were large; during
several services the church could not
accommodate the people. Church
members were quickened and arous
ed to press forward to “Higher
Ground;” men, women and children
yielded to the influence of the spirit,
and twenty-five were received into
the church—two by letter and twen
ty-three on profession of faith. The
effects of this meeting are incalcula
ble. Sept. 20, 1902.

Cotton Seed.
Within this season three new
cotton seed houses have been built
in Perry, and there are four or
five resident buyers here. This is
certainly to the advantage of those
who sell cotton seed, as the sharp
competition forces the-vprioe up to
the limit.
Only a few years ago the aver
age price of ootton seed here was
about 10 cents; now the pride
hovers around 25 cents per bush
el.
The general and specific demand
for cotton seed for manufacturing
purposes is steadily increasing,
and as a commercial article they
are as staple as lint ootton,
Years ago a Houston farmer
soid he would continue planting
cotton for the seed only. Is a rev
elation in this line ooming?
