ESTABLISHED IN 1881.
THE OLDEST WHISKEY HOUSE
IS GEORGIA.
He Kept the Secret.
A well known uptown men, a
lover of flue horseflesh, saw a fine
buggy horse which he thought he
wanted, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. He located the owner
and asked the price. “One hun
dred dollars,” was the reply. Af
ter looking the animal over and
trying her speed, he oonoluded it
was a good trade and wrote out a
check for the amount. The next
day he found that the mare was
blind, but this did uot hinder
her speed or detract from her
general appearance. Ite drove
the animal for several weeks and
succeeded in attracting the atten
tion of another lover of horses,
who made a proposal to buy.’
“Well,” said the owner, “I
gave $100 tor her, but I’ll let you
have her for $126 if you want to
buy.”
After looking her over and tak
ing a short ride behind her the
man decided to buy. He paid
over the money and took the
mare. When the animal was un
harnessed the first tjhing she did
was to run against a post; then,
by the way of emphasizing the
fact that vShe was blind, she fell
over a barrel. The next day the
buyer came back with blood in
his eye.
“Say, you know that mare you
sol,d me?” he began. “Well she’s
stone blind.”
“I know it,” replied her past
owner, with au easy air.
“Well, you didn’t say any
thing to me about it,” said the
purchaser, his face red with an
ger*
“Well, I’ll tell you,” replied
the other: “that fellow who sold
her to me didn’t tell me about it,
and I just concluded that he
didn’t want it known.”
A Pretty Agricultural Picture.
Convicts will Bring 3250,000.
Here is an inspiring picture cal
culated to make .the heart of Col-
Purse of Savannah to beat with
joy and his eyes to dance with de
light:
We learn from the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun that seveuty-five
aores of sugar cape are now,i*i?ing
in cue solid sea of green jutt three
miles below Columbus, as pretty
a sight as one obuld see. This
cane patoh is the property of the
Williams Manufacturing Co., of
Columbus. Here is the moral it
points to the farmers of Georgia
and Alabama:
This caiie will produce 600 bush
els of syrup to the aore. This is
45,000 gallons of syrup, a perfect
river of sweetness fairly sprincriug
from the fertile soil of the Chat
tahoochee valley. Three gallons
of fresh Georgia syrup bring one
silver dollar. Forty-five thousand
gallons of syrup briug $15,000.
Wbat cotton field pays as well-as
this? Georgia and Alabama bot
toms cane will bring more reve
nue than the Mississippi Delta,
land in cottou.
This is in keepiug with the
claims and teaching of Col. Purse
in his earnest advocacy of sugar
cane culture in Georgia.—Macon

It is expected by those interest
ed at the capitol that the state’s
convicts under the new lease soon
tu be made will bring the state a
total of $800,000 to $350,000.
The expeuse of the peuitentiary
system is $100,900 a year, so that
the net profit will be $200,000 to
$250,000 to go to education.
Fourteen counties have already
applied for convicts under the
new act and with others yet to be
heard from, it is said about 500
of the able-bodied convicts will
be used up this way, leaving about
1,500 to be leased, whereas there
is a good demand for 2,000. This
will r«un the price up to $200 to
$226 per year for each convict. It
is said the lessees can afford to
pay $240 a year for them before
free labor would be more profita
ble.—Exohange.
The following prose poem is go
ing the rounds of the Georgia
press at present “Whether it
snows or whether it blows, the
season comes and goes; the crops
get sick and the farmers blue—
the storekeepers kiok and the law
yers sue; the preachers preach
and sinners sin, and cares beset
the souls of men. But throngh it
all the printer prints, he saves
and saves and stints and stints;
the winds may rave and the floods
may roll, and droughts break
through from pole to pole, but
the printer man prints, saves and
saves and stints and stints. Hap
py, happy printer man; he does
the very best he can—sticking
type and twisting press—he trusts
to luck aud does his best.”
Until about fifteen years ago
life insurance companies uniform
ly refused to insure the lives of
women on any terms. Until five
years ago such companies as did
write policies oh female lives dis
criminated against them to the
extent of $5 in the thousand. On
ly a very few companies, even
now, and these quite recently, in
sure women on the same terms as
men. And yet the life tables of
seventy-five years show the aver
age death rate of all males to be
21.8 per thousand, and of all *e
males 19.7 per thousand. Female
lives are, therefore, 10.6 per cent
better risks than male lives.
A teaoher was examining a class
of small boys in mental arithme
tic. She said: “If your father
gave your mother $5 today and
$2 tothorrow, what would she
have?” “I think ma’am,” re
plied a small boy near the bot
tom of the class, “she would have
a fit.”

The farmers are not inclined to
sell their cotton seed, at the pres
ent price which is oply 18 cents
per bushel. It is estimated that
the quantity sold thus far will
not average more than 20 per cent
of the crop.
Nathan Toomer, a colored man,

Probably tbe largest sale of
seed pats ever made by one man
at one time in Dooly county was
by M. E. Rushin to Egleston-Mc-
Douald-Howell Co.,'says the Vi
enna Progress. The amount was
700 bushels, nicely packed up in
sacks. The oats were 'grown by
Mr. Rushin two miles northeast
of Vienna, where he made about
1,500 bushels on 82 acres of land.
