The bankers and financiers of
| the country are discussing tho
! probability and advisability of an
other bond issue. It is admitted
by bankers in about all parts of |
the country that the government
would have no difficulty in get
ting all the mousy it wanted, and
might be able to borrow it as low
as per cent. .
As to the advisability of a bond (
issue there is a great variety of
opinion. There is a strong senti
ment expressed in the interviews
on the subject which are appear
ing in the public prints, that the
government should be more eco
nomical so as to avoid if possible
any further increase of the public
debt. It is pointed out that this
is not the time for making appro
priations for public buildings in
all the little cities of the country,
and that rivers and harbors could
get along with less than the river
and harbor bill carries for then).
There appears to be a very genera!
desire that the Nicaragua canal
be built as soon as possible, even
if bonds have to be issued for that
purpose. It is contended that it
would be a paying investment
from the start.
It can be safely said that the 1
republican managers do not want
a bond issue, and they are not go
ing to have one if they can avoid
it. That is apparent from what
Mr. Cannon said the other day on
the floor of the House. Tuere has
already been one bond issue of
$200,000,000 since this adminis
tration came into office, and an
other issue would help greatly to
defeat the republican party in the
next national campaign. The re
publican leaders understand that
very well, and so they will under
take to get along without a bond
issue. Still, the pressure in be
half of the Nicaragua canal is so
strong that the republicans may
consent to a bond issue for the
purpose of building the canal. If
all the schemes for spending mon
ey now before congress were ap
proved, however, there would be a
[ treasury deficiency even if there
should be a bond issue as large as
the last one.—Savannah News.

Some of our citizens are attend
ing court at Monroe this week.
On account of the snow and
rough weather we had no preach
ing at Bold Springs on the second
Sunday.
School was suspended two days
Inst, week on account of the snow.
Rabbit hunting was all the go
in this section last week. Not
withstanding the sharp notes of
the cold, icy winds that were
blowing a blizzard from the north,
the boys were out bright and
early Monday morning on track of
the fleet-footed hares, whose tracks
betrayed their whereabouts too
plainly on the surface of the beau
ftiul snow. The boys were deter
mined in their chase and did not
give up the sport until over 200
of the cotton-tails were brought to
the frying pan. “Rabbit hash”
was almost as plentiful as the
snow, and it is needless to say
that we enjoyed the stew as well
as we did the hunt which gave us
a relish for those brown hams, big
fat biscuits, and that good old hot
coffee prepared and served by the
hands of God’s noblest creation—
the women.
Willie Mitchell, son of Mr. R.
H. Mitchell, happened to a very
serious accident, which may prove
fatal, last Friday. While out
hunting with a crowd, a tree fell
upon him, bruising him up con
siderably He was knocked sense
less and was carried home in that
condition. His ankle was dislo
cated, and he received internal
injuries besides other bruises. Dr.
Reeves is waiting on him, and we
hope to note his recovery in the
near future.
Jbhn Davis is all stpiles at this

Mr. H. T. Peevy visited his sis

Gratis, last Saturday.
Prof. Jenkins happened to a very
painful accident last Saturday
while out hunting by getting his
eye blown full of powder and
smoke. Dr. Reeves removed the
powder, which was a very painful
operation. The accident occurred
by the plunger bursting through
the cap and the powder being
blown back through the cavity in
his face. His eye, however, is not
seriously hurt, and will soon be all
right.
Last week must have .been a
week of accidents. While cutting
1 wood on Saturday morning VV. T.
Peevy had a chip to strike him in
the eye, which ivas very painful to
him. We are glad to note that
his eye is not seriously hurt, and
will soon be all right.
On account of the rough weather
two weeks ago, the entertainment
at Mr. Booth’s was postponed until
last Saturday night. It was un
derstood that they would have the
I entertainment last Saturday night
if the weather waß suitable. The
weather was fine, and at an early
hour a jolly crowd of merry-mak
ers had gathered in, and their
merry voices and hearty laughs
could be heard out in the stillness
of the night until the hands of the
clock warned them that it was
almost Sunday. Then the merry
makers disbanded and went quiet
ly to their homes to dream sweet :
dreams of the merry time they
had enjoyed. It is needless to say
j the entertainment was a complete
success.

to spend the day last Sunday at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. 0. M.

Messrs. George Perkins, Henry
Perry, Edgar and James Wood

regard for humanity and an par
nest desire to see this curse of the
damnible liquor traffic far removed
from our homes and the path ot
our children and our neighbor’s

district vouch their approval by
saying, “If your Mayor can safely
capture the ferocious tigers roam

the yutig and noble, we are ready
to place him in our legislative
halls, that he may use his grit anti
brain in driving from Georgia's

You may have heard
about SCOTT’S EMULSION
and have a vague notion
that it is cod-liver oil with
its bad taste and smell and
all its other repulsive fea
tures. It is cod-liver oil, the
purest and the best in the
world, but made so palata
ble that almost everybody
can take it. Nearly all
children like it and ask for
more.
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
looks like cream; it nour
ishes the wasted body of
the baby, child or adult
better than cream or any
other food in existence. It
bears about the same rela
tion to other emulsions that
cream does to milk. If you
have had any experience
with other so-called “just as
good” preparations, you
will find that this is a fact.
The hypophosphito that are
combined with the cod-liver oil
give additional value to it because
they tone up the nervoui system
and impart strength to the whole
body. •
