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. Security Bonds furnished. c. z. mcarthur, DENTIST, FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA. Office over Slappey’s Drugstore. EDWIN L.

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. Considerably more than half of Byron Items. BY QUIS. Mr. Bruce Walton of - Selma, Ala,, spent last Saturday and Sunday with homefolks. Mrs. C. D. Peavy and children of Macon were the guests of Mr. H. J. Peavy and family this week. Miss Lillian Taylor is visiting rel atives and friends in Branswick. Clifford Vinson of Montezuma spent last Saturday night and Sun day with the family of Mrs. M. E. Vinson. Miss Marie Crawford is now leach ing a flourishing school at Small Academy. Mr. M. L. Lester and Miss Bessie Johnson of Macon attended preach ing in Byron last Monday night. Mr. Ed Tharp has recently recov ered from a serious case of measles. John Andrews of LaFayette, Ala., is attending school in Byron. Mrs. J. A. Middlebrooks and little sous, Stephen aud Joe, of Warwick, are visiting Dr. and Mrs. G. P. Cline. the pupils of our public schools re- iMofniirtfiAn in mvol schools. A large proportion of those who attend these schools never en ter a high school or college. In fact, many fail to complete even the common school course, If the sta bility of a free government depends upon the education of the people, it is of the greatest importance that our rural schools—the schools where in most of our future voters and leg islators are being trained—should attain the highest possible state of efficiency.—Sou.

During the last few weeks Misses Marie Evans, Kate Richardson, Ruth Warren and Mattie Kate Vinson have left for the Georgia Normal and Industrial College., Miss Annie Harper for Monroe, and Mr. Hill Peavy for Emory. Miss Effie Crawford goes up semi weekly to Wesleyan, where Bhe takes music from Prof. Hesselberg, Mrs, B. E. Whittington has re cently organized an elocution class with seven pupils. Last Sunday, the 14th inst., Miss Fannie Hamsley of Byron was uni ted in marriage to Mr. Thos. Ragga of Centerville, Mr. Jim Smith per forming the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. W. H, Ezell, Mr, and Mrs. J. 0. McDonald, Messrs. H. J. atd W. A; Peavy and Miss Sadie| Peavy attended the dedica tion of Liberty ohurcli in Bibb county last Sunday. 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. —C. M. Branan, the “Cheap Mule Man,” 520 Poplar streetj Macon, Ga., is ready to serveyou HORSES AND MULES Wholesale and Retail. Fine Horses and Large Mules a Specialty. Largest Supply, Lowest Prices, Best Stock. 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? —You’ll get a 50 cents meal for 25 cents at Isaao’s Cafe^Third street, Macon, Ga. TAX COLLECTOR’S APPOINTMENTS.
