The index figures of the reliabley commercial agencies show, that since July, 1897, the cost of the necessaries of life have increased per capita in this country about forty dollars, That means that we pay, every man of Us, for actual necccssaries 60 per cent more than we were paying when William Mc Kinley was inaugurated president This is one of the facts in the era of prosperity that makes one’s Jiurra clutter in his throat. It is a fact, however, that de serves too serious study of the far mers of ‘ Georgia. They should realize that this year they must either raise more.home supplies of all kinds, or they must prepare themselves to pay from 60 fco 100 per cent more for those articles to the producers, j packers and fac tors of the west and north than they did four years ago.

The little mite, a lusty and well favored child of a few months of age, was found abandoned in a coach of the * Choctaw Railroad. A card pinned to the baby said: “I have no parents; please take me to next station.” The railroad m ■ management decided to adopt the child and rear and educate it at the road’s expense. It is now in a hospital in Wichita. Whether the railroad will be a father or mother to the child is a question* but the chances are the little one will grow well cafedJpr and^become a useful member of society. Admiral Prince Henry is said to enthusiastic over the prospects of his trip to the United States. He.is quoted as having said the other day: “It has been the dream of my. life to visit the United States,and this tripComes how like a gift from . heaven.” If he will only extend his, to within range of Chatham Artillery punch, we think we can guarantee the imperial visitor some dreams that will put to shame any that have heretofore come to him.
