IEODG-E8, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, December 24. Mat Christmas be a season of peace and good will to all mankind. Howe’s London circus is spending the winter at Central City Park, Ma con, Ga. It now seems possible that the IT. S. Senate will not ratify the Panama canal treaty. There has beau more cold in the south this season than in ten years during November and December. The short cotton drop in Georgia this year will materially decrease the number of tenants who will conduct farms next year. As a republican candidate Boose velt is the preference of most demo crats, but as a president they would prefer any decent man of national caliber. Ii? Colombia appeals to the Hague court of arbitration, as is threatened, the Roosevelt sponsorship for the “Republic of Panacpa” may be dis solved. Friction between Russia and Ja pan in Korea and Manchuria con tinues acute, and it may be that war in the far east will come early in the new year. There are indications that there will be at least two candidates for congressional honors in the third district of Georgia when the next campaign opens. The negro farmers of Pulaski county will meet at Hawkinsville on December 28th and discuss “the best methods of farming, how to market grops, etc.” 1 It iB not so much necessary that there should be a decrease in the cotton crop of the south, but that the crop should be produced on a decreased acreage. From December 23rd to January 1st inclusive, the Central railroad agents will sell round-trip tiokets from all stations at a rate of one and one-third fare, plus 25 cents. Mr. Fitzgerald, of Indiana,' who engineered the colony that made the city of his name in Georgia, is pre paring to looate another large colo- ny of northern families in this state. “What’s the matter with Hanna” may not be known, but it is very generally known that an inordinate desire to succeed himself as presi dent is what’s the matter with Roosevelt. In a recent public address Treas urer Crump stated that the expendi tures of Bibb county during the last eight months aggregated more than $92,000, an average of over .$11,000 per month. While it is regretable that farm era are not getting all the increase in the price of cotton, the fact proves that they would have receiv ed this increase had they been able to control the cotton. The Southern Educational Asso ciation will be in annual session in Atlanta next week, from December 30th to-January 1st inclusive. It is estimated that at least 1,000 teaoh- ers and eduoators]will be in attend- ance. Georgia at the World’s Fair. The department of publicity of the St. Louis World's Fair furnishes the following concerning what Geor gia proposes to do at that fair: “Corn ‘pone’ and fluffy hot corn cakes, made by a typical southern colored ‘mammy,’ and served with fresh country butter and pure ‘sugar house’ syrup, all free, will be one of the attractions that will draw visit ors to the Georgia exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture at the World’s Fair. “In an agricultural way corn and sugar cane are two of the big prod ucts of the great southern state, and Georgia commission has determined to give a practical demonstration of how delicious these foods are when served in the ideal way. “In the center of her agricultural exhibit, surrounded by cotton and corn and sugar cane, an ideal plan tation log cabin will be built. ~£t will be presided over by an old negress who knows all about the art of pro ducing corn pone and oorn cakes, Buoh as are made in no other part of the world. Every visitor to the Georgia section will be invited to sit down and test the proverbial southern hospitality and the oook- ing ability of a genuine Georgia colored ‘auntie.’ “Georgia’s display of ootton will not appeal so strongly to the appe tite, but it will be artistic, showing a neat pavilion made of ootton and a miniature cotton field, with minia ture bales and the products of ths fibre and seed shown in comprehen sive array, “In the raining department Geor gia will make a display that will portray that state’s greatness in the production of minerals. The central figure will be a statue of Vulcan, 50 feet high made of iron, standing on a pedestal of coal and coke. Georgia marble is famed all over the world for its beauty. Great shafts of the natural stone, magnificent monu ments and polished columns and ob elisks will be shown in stately array. “Georgia’s pineries will be drawn upon to furnish another exhibit of peculiar interest in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game. The pine wood will be shown undressed and polished. The process of extracting turpentine, pitoh and rosin, and all of the by-products, will be shown in detail. “Georgia's pavilion on the Plateau Of States will be one of the striking features in that wonderful array of architectural creations. A building and maintenance fund of $50,000 has been created. On an advan tageous site at the intersection of two main boulevards, overlooking the mining Gulob and with Maine’s logyabin on the north and Pennsyl vania's Btately building on the east, Georgia will erect a replica of the old state house. This is of the pure oolonial type of architecture, spa- cious rooms and halls, and surround ed by the wide veranda characteris tic of the south. The buildings will be splendidly furnished and the commission will entertain in a man ner befitting the state’s reputation for open-handed generosity and hos pitality.” Southern colleges are permitting their students too much latitude in playing baseball, Jootball and other athletic games. Outdoor exercise is good, but too much cannot fail to be injurious to the literary attainments The January number of the Wo man’s Home Companion might al most be called a fiction number. There are five stories. The features are of exceptional interest, as the following titles will indicate: “An Afternoon with Joseph Jefferson,” “New York, the Most Wonderful City the World E\er Saw,” “My Recollections of Abraham Lincoln,’’ “The Edited States Daughters of 1812,” *‘Our Naturalist at Home,” Articles of especial interest to wo men are: “French Home Cooking for American Households,” “Home- Made Picture Frames,” “Oriental Designs in Table Linen,” “A Sew ing Lesson,” Pattern Fashions, “Novel Ways to Celebrate Wedding Anniversaries,” Mr. X’s Puzzle Page.

The Cuban reciprocity bill was signed by the President with a gold pen supplied for the occasion by Senor Don Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban minister. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 67 to 18; many democrats supporting it and one re publican voting against it. On the last day of the debate Senator Bai ley made an able argument against the constitutionality of the action of the President and Senate in nego tiating a treaty which called for a reduction of the tariff and of mak ing the validity of the treaty con tingent on the appro\ al of the House. He declared that such an act was contrary to the provisions of the constitution, which declares that all revenue acts shall originate in the House. This,, question will probably be taken before the Su preme court as soon as the reciproc ity bill goes into effect.—Washing ton Correspondence. RICHTER’S POPULAR CAFE. WALTER F.
