An Interesting Letter From Iceland.
Reykjavik, March 1, 1900.
Mk. J. 8. Brogdon,
Dear Sir : I have received your
favor of recent, date. How glad I
was to have a letter from you 1 I
ain sorry I cannot writs as good a
letter to you as you have done to
me But I hope you wjil excuse
me, well knowing that I cannot so
well as you express myself in En
glish. I shall try to give you a
description of my town and coun
try.
Reykjavik is a little town, al
though the largest in Iceland.
There are about 5,000 inhabitants.
They are Icelanders for the most
part, excepting some Danish mer
chants. It is the capitol of Ice
land, and greatest commercial
town . There are about 30 stores
and one drug store, also two ho
tels. Most merchants are Danish,
and so are all the richest.
According to your father’s hand
bill, things are a great deal dearer
here than in Suwanee. The town
is rather pretty, though not large.
The houses are small, and for the
most part made of wood, trans
ported hither from Norway and
Sweden. Some are made of stone,
and are the most remarkable
buildings, such as the cathedral,
the parliament’s house, the bank
building, the Governor’s house and
the post office. We have also in
the town a little theater. There
are two churches,of which, though,
one is Lutherian, the cathedral,
and the other,Catholic. Of schools,
we have a gymnasium, at which
about 100 pupils are studying, a
theological school, a medical col
lege and navigation school, and al
so a school for women and one for
children. We have four printing
offices, where most of Icelandic
books are published and printed,
and at present, five newspapers,all
printed in Icelandic. Unfortu
nately we have no paper printed
in English.
Reykjavik is situated with the
sea in the south-west part of the
country. I believe you can find it
on your geographical atlas.
I will tell you a little about the
country itself: As you know, Ice
land is a large island in the north
ern part of the Atlantic ocean,
close to the Arctic circle. The
aroa of Iceland is about 1,900 ge
ographical square miles, and the
number of inhabitants about 73,-
000. It is an inseparable part of
the Danish kingdom. The island
is very mountainous. The highest
mountain is 6,241 feet. Many
mountains are volcanoes, of which,
“Mount Hecla” is the most re
markable. The most part of the
country contains such wild moun
tains, lavons, sands and wilder
nesses. But Iceland is a very im
posing and magnificent country.
W’hen the sun shines on the white
eternal ice (glacier) which crowns
the blue mountains everywhere, it
is such a splendid view as we could
compare to a beautiful girl, with
dark hair, whose head was adorned
with a golden head-dress. The
climate is cold enough. The mean
temperature in Reykjavik is 4 deg.
celnus, but in the northern region
of the country, about 0 deg. In
the country the thermometer often
falls to 25 deg. in the winter. From
the beginning of October to the
middle of May we can have snow,
and the snow often lies on the
ground for weekß in the middle of
the winter in depths of from one
to two feet, The sun rises now at
5:80 o’clock in the morning and
sets at 0:40 o’clock in the evening.
The longest day in the summer
is in Reykjavik, about 21 hours,
and the shortest in winter,4 hours.
But at summer solstice the sun
does not set in the extreme north
ern part of the island about a
week, and consequently he is not)
to be seen one week at winter
solstice. There come yearly many
tourists from other countries, as
England, Germany and France,
in order to nee the beauty of the
island.
The natural resources are not
great. We have no forests or
woods, excepting some little birch
woods, no fruits and no corn. We
must buy all such things from for
eign countries. In the whole coun
try potatoes and vegetables grow.
The mountains yield no metals or
coal, and I am sorry to say that
here is no manufactory or indus
try. The principal livelihood is
farming and fishing. Our domes
tic animals are cows, sheep and
ponies. Many farmers have 800
or 400 sheep and 6 to 12 cows and
20 to 30 good ponies There are no
railroads, so we must transport all
our goods by ponies. Our princi
pal export is wool, fish aud living
ponies, formerly also sheep. The
i import consists of corn, coal, salt,
j wood, iron, inongery, tobacco and
several other things.
I will tell you a little about the
gymnaseum of Reykjavik. It is
the only one in the whole country,
jlt is divided into six classes. I
j am attending the first class, began
last autumn. I have been the
head boy in the class for the most
part of the winter. In this class
we learn Icelandic. Danish, En
glish, German, latin, geography,
mathematics, theology, universal
history. In the upper classes they
also learn Greek, French, astrono
my, natural history, geology and
natural philosophy. What do you
learn at your school ?
At last I will tell you sometning
about myself. When I was 18
years old, I left the country and
moved to Reykjavik. Then I had
already learned a little Danish,
English and French, also geogra
phy and reckoning. All this I
had learned without a teacher, ex
cepting reckoning. When I came
to Reykjavik I could speak a little
all three languages, and then I de
termined to give all my life to
study, and after having served to
a farmer near town one year, I be
gan, and last spring entered the
gymnaseum. Now lam good 20
vear9 old; I am of middle stature
and not strong at all. I can’t say
I am handsome; my eyes are blue
and my hair is light colored, like
yours. lam tender-hearted and
variable in temper. My greatest
pleasure is reading, am fond of all
sorts of literature and science, es
pecially languages. You asked me
how I liked Caesar. I must own
Ido not like him very much. I
am fond of poetry, and sometimes
I believe I am a little poet myself.
How do you like poetry ? I have
not yet found anyone whom I
wished to make my friend. Have
you many friends ? I have a great
mind to travel in foreign countries,
and often wish to see the whole
world. My greatest desire is to
better the state of my country and
nation.
In my next letter I shall try to
tell you more about the country
and its government. Please tell
mo in your next letter what you
most desire to know about Iceland.
It would be of great pleasure to
me if I could answer your ques
tions.
If you should happen to get let
ters from some ones in other coun
tries, please tell me their names
and addresses. I should like to
correspond with them also, es
pecially if they were in France or
Italy. With best wishes,
Truly yours,
Magnus Magnusson,
Reykjavik, Iceland.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results ot throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has beeu introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays inflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in tbe world.

Hon. W. H. Fleming is receiving
a'cordial welcome from his many
friends in Augusta who are delight
ed to find him entirely restored to
health again. His efforts to se
cure a military camp for Augusta
are greatly appreciated, and it is
hoped that they will be success
ful.
Johannah Williams, colored,
died in Athens Monday night at
the age of 107 years, her age being
authenticated. She was born in
Oglethorpe county, March 17th,
1798. She belonged first to Maj.
Beasley and later on became the
property of the late Col. David C.
Barrow. Old Johannah had been
in declining health for some time,
and her death was not unexpected.
A young son of William Drane
is lying at the point of death at
Americus from the effect of a mad
dog bite a month ago. Four chil
dren were bitten by a dog with hy
drophobia, and all the horrible
symptoms have siuce developed m
the Drane child. Six physicians
have attended him and express the
belief that rabies are fully devel
oped. Great anxiety is felt for
the safety of the three other chil
dren likewise bitten.
Who wants to be dog killer for
Telfair county ? We will publish
his announcement for the office
and also his obituary free of
charge. There is many an old
mangy hound whose life is more
sacred in the eyes of his owner
than that of a low-bred constable
or dog catcher, as they view mat
ters. Some men will fight for a
dog quicker th.n for wife or chil
dren. They are built that way,
and such men are going to give
trouble. —Helena Hustler.
Final arrangements have been
completed for the extensions of
the St. Stanislaus College building
at Macon, and the work will be
begun at once. The institution
will be mode the head training
school for the Catholic denomina
tion of America, and students who
have heretofore gone to Washing
ton, D. C., and Baltimore, will go
to Macon. This will increase the
attendance at least two fold. It
is estimated that the improve
ments to the college building will
cost over SIO,OOO. Father Maya
han is at the head of the institu
tion, having succeeded Father
Brisian, who was removed to New
Orleaus some time ago.
Superintendent Foster, of the
state farm, gives a very encour
aging account of the condition of
the crops and the 200 or more con
victs employed on the farm. Mr.
Foster has 200 acres of wheat and
reports that the condition of this
crop is very fine, and promises a
large yield. In oats there are 400
acres, but the outlook is not as
promising as could be wished for.
Nearly all of the cotton crop,
which will cover an area of 500
acres, is planted. In corn there
will be 800 acres. All of the up
land corn is planted, and now the
bottom lands are being seeded.
In addition to this, there is a hog
pasture of twenty acres and a cow
pasture of 100 acres.
While driving with his wife Sun
day, Col. W. R. Brown, a capital
ist of Fort Valley, met with an ad
venture he will not soon forget.
Camped by the roadside was a
family of decidedly indigent ap
pearance. As Col. Brown rode by
he was hailed by the head of the
itenerant family, who at once de
livered himself of a fiery commu
nistic speech, full of anathemas
and bitter denunciations of rich
men in general and Col. Brown in
particular. He further expressed
the sentiment that nothing would
afford him more pleasure than to
meet Col. Brown with a Winches
ter rifle and bore a hole through
his heart. The strange man ex
hibited no symptoms of mental
derangement other than his aggra
vated socialistic opinions. His
name and home and business were
not learned, as the traveling party
disappeared soon after his meeting
with the Fort Valley capitalist.
I consider it not only a pleasure
but a duty I owe to my neighbors
to tell about the wonderful cure
effected in my case by the timely
| use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cbol
|«ra and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was
! taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy.
A few doses of it effected a perma
nent cure. I take pleasure in rec
ommending it to others suffering
from that dreadful disease.—J. W.

Maks ths Fair and Carnival th» Biggest
Event Ever Held in This Seotion,
The Elborton Star says: One
of the 'questions that is now agi
tating the mind of the public is
the proposition made last Monday
night to give Elberton a carnival
this year.
The question naturally arises,
would it be a good thing for the
town ? The Star takes the posi
tion that it would, and earnestly
hopes that the city council will
appropriate the amount asked
that they will give us a pleasant
time. Carnivals are a good thiug.
They advertise and show off to a
good advantage the natural re
sources of the community in which
they are given. The Seaboard
people will also give Elberton rep
resentation in the southern expo
sition to be held in the northern
cities. That within itself is fully
worth the amount asked for. It
is a fact that we cannot get north
ern capitalists to come south to
see what we have, consequently
we have to carry the south north
and by having Elberton and El
bert county represented at this
show we stand a good chance to
get northern capitalists to invest
their money in our midst. With
these facts in view, we heartily
commend the work Let the bus
iness men and citizens of our city
take a hand in the work, and
make the Carnival the biggest
event ever held in this section of
the state.
AN EPIDEMIC OF WHOOPING
COUGH,
Last winter during an epidemic
of whooping cough my children
contracted the disease, having se
vere coughing spells. W’e had
used Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy very successfully for croup and
naturally turned to it at that time
and found it relieved the cough
and effected a complete cure.—

There is a very ancient story,
says the Detroit Free Press, that
tells of a man meeting a young
lady and asking after her father’s
health.
“How i 9 your father ?” he ask
ed, forgetting that her father had
been dead several years.
“Still dead,” was the reply.
This story, whether it ever hap
pened or not, has a counterpart in
an incident that actually trans
pired a Bhort time ago. A gentle
man was talking to a friend that
he had not seen in a number of I
“Is your father alive yet ?” he
asked.
“Not yet,” she said, absent
mindedly.
It remains for a Detroit woman,
however, to tell the following as
an original in her own experience.
Meetiug Mrs. Brown one day, a
lady who is apt to agree with those
to whom she talks last, the latter
said:
“Why, Mrs. Green, do you
know that Mr. Jones is dead ?”
“What! You don’t moan it!”
“Well,” added Mrs, Brown, in
an apologetic tone, “well, he was
yesterday.”
ALIKE AND DEATH FIGHT.
Mr. W. Hiues of Manchester,
la., writing of his almost mirac
ulous escape from death, says:
“Exposure after measles induced
serious lung trouble, which ended
in Consumption I had frequent
hemorrhages and coughed night
and day. All my doctors said I
must soon die. Then I began to
use Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, which completely
cured me. I would not be with
out it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my rec
ommendation and all say it never
fails to c ure Throat, Chest and
Lung troubles.” Regular size 500

To show how little Germany
knows of the way Americans have
of settling affairs of honor, it is
mentioned that students have in
stituted what they call the “Amer
ican duel.” The parties to a quar
rel draw lots, and the loser is in
honor bound to commit suicide.

All doctors told Itenick Hamil
ton, of West Jefferson, 0., after
suffering 18 months from Rectal

ITEMS OF INTERE3T,
In restoring the White House
recently while the workmen were
painting the doors they discovered
that they were of solid mahogany,
but owing to some mistake the
original wood had been painted in
imitation of walnut. The paiut
was at once scraped off and the
doors restored to their pristine
state.
Motor carriage and motor bicy
cles have already attracted the at
tention of European trx leviers
and in Antwerp these vehicles are
doubly taxed, first by the province
to the extent of 60 francs on mo
tor carriages and 20 francs on mu
tdr bicycles, and second by a mu
nicipal tax of 100 francs on the
former and 50 francs on the lat
ter.
Missouri apples that have been
kept in cold storage since early
last fall have been repacked and
shipped in refrigerator cars to New
York. There the fruit goes into
the cold storage end of a steamer.
It iB supposed that cold storage
will keep the apples until they are
wanted at the Paris Exposition.
At Dewey, thirty miles south of
Coffeville, Kan., a walnut log has
been cut for shipment to the Par
is Exposition. The tree from
which the log was taken is sup
posed to be 400 years old. The
trunk is sixteen feet in circumfer
ence, and the first limb was 45 feet
from the ground.
Mrs. Bagley, mother of Worth
Bagley, who was ensign on the
torpedo-boat Winslow and killed
off Cardenas, Cuba, during the
Spanish war, has sent to the Bath
Iron Works pIaDS for a handsome
memorial tablet, which will be
placed ou the torpedo boat now
under construction at the Bath
Iron Works in his honor. The
tablet will be of bronze in tbe
shape of a shield. The border will
represent cannon balls, and on it
will be the name, Worth Bagley.
On the lower part will be an eagle
surmounting a shield and sword,
while in the center will be the
dates of his birth and death. It
will be placed on the conning tow

In the Revue des Revues of Par
is. Aguinaldo contributes an arti
cle on the war in the Philippines,
which, after giving details of nu
merous exesses alleged te have
beeu committed by Gsn. Otis’ ar
my, concludes as follows: “Yes,
the war is frightful. The unfor-
tunate Philipinos are succumbing
to the incessant fighting, leaving
behind them mothers, widows and
children. America may be indif
ferent to all the calamities with
which she is overwhelming ns, but
she cannot wish to go ou sacri
ficing her own sons, to spread hor
ror and anguish in the hearts of
mothers, widows and children of
Americans for the sake of carry
ing on a war contrary to all the
traditions left by Washington and
Jefferson. I affirm the absolute
truth of the facts here set forth.
I address these pages to the civil
ized world. It rests with it today
impartially to declare on which
side are right and justice.”
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousneas. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, aud that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
ipake you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

HQVAI BAKIwa POWPIW
Points in Handling Bees.
When bses are in the field gath
ering honey, or when swarming,
they will never volunteer an at
tack, because they are then filled
with honey,, but when their little
home is molested they will act in
self-defense and resist the attack.
It is therefore necessary to use a
smoker of some kind.
Before opening a hive send in a
few puffs of smoke at the entrance
to alarm them, and they will im
mediately rush for the combs and
fill themselves with honey. After
smoking them, it is well to wait a
minute or two, that they may
gorge themselveß. The cover can
then he lifted off and a little more
smoke blown in on top of the
frames and the bees will adhere
nicely to the combs. With screw
driver or tack puller, the division
board can be removed and the
combs pried apart and one by one
examined without any danger of
being stung.
A beehive should not be pulled
apart every few days through
mere curiosity, but should be ex
amined occasionally to ascertain
the needs and condition of the
colony. If the colony is weak, it
can be strengthened by adding a
frame or two of sealed brood taken
from some other colony strong
enough to spare it. It is well to
seleot one kind of hive and frame,
so that all the furniture of the
hives will be interchangable and
not two or three kinds of hives in
the apiary.
Beeß Bhculd always be handled
very gently. They seem to dislike
quick, jerky movements. In early
spring, or in autumn wheu the
days are cool it is prudent not to
open the hives until near midday,
when the field bees will then be
out gathering honey. On cloudy,
or rainy days, it is best net to
open hives, for the field beeß are
tbeu at home, and are cross, be
ing deprived of the privilege of
gathering honey. Another precau
tion is not to expose any honey or
other sweets. A gentleman once
asked me if I take oft' honey u.
night when the bees are asleep.
They do not sleep, but work inces
santly for six weeks and then die
of old ago. Their wings, which
are but tissue, become shredded
and they fall to the ground on
their way to and from the field.
Night is the very worst time to
molest bees, as some pilferous
persons have found out to their
sorrow. It ih true bees do not fly
at night, but they crawl and sting.
By injudicious handling, bees
can be made very irritable and
cross, so that they will sting every
body near and far, and will re
main angry and vicious for weeks,
but a beekeeper should be very
cautious and use good judgment
so as not to prove himself a nuis
ance to his neighbors. My neigh-
bor who moved next door to me
last spring remarked the other
day: “When I saw all those bee
hives in your yard I hesitated
about taking the house, for I was
afraid of my children being stung,
but I have never yet seen a bee iu
my yard.” And there are 59 col
onies in my apiary, and one glass
hive on the front porch. Some of
them within six feet of the fence.
I have neighbors on three sides of
my apiary. One has a horse, and
all have children, and I have
children njyself, and I have yet to
hear of annoyance. I have some
Italians and some black and some
hybrids. It is claimed generally
that flacks and hybrids are very
much more cross than Italians,
but I find no trouble with any
strain by handling as described
above. —Exchange.

The Street Fairs and Carnival!
that are to be held along the grei
Seaboard Air Line, uuder til
management of Dr. Harry Redai
of Virginia, have two-fold ad
vantages. One is the advertisiu
and money making the town get
on the week of the Fair, and tli
other is the fact that the prim
object of these Fairs is to collec
products of the farms, forests am
mines of the south to be used oi
the great tour through the uortl
to show there the natural resour
ces of the territory covered by th|
Seaboard Air Line. The Norfolx
Va., “Landmark” says; “Nor
folk will have a Street Fair anc
Carnival which promises to be on<
of the biggest things in the shapt
of an advertisement of the city
and its advantages that have been
introduced here in its history.”
And yet if this Fair and Carni
val for Norfolk was one of those
usually held just for the advertis
ing and trade the city would get
during the week of the Fair, and
if it was to be the “biggest thing
in Norfolk's History” then the
Fairs and Carnivals that are to
have the two-fold advantages are.

The debate of the Philadelphian
society last Saturday night was
very good. It was the first effort
cf the boys before the public, and
the manner in which they handled
such a difficult subject was in
deed gratifying to the large audi
ence that greeted them. As the
band struck up the first notes of
“Blessed Home,” the beautiful
May night seemed more grand.
Takiug the opportunities, advant
ages, and training of the boys
under consideration the debats
was a success. We thank the
people for the interest manifested
in our society; we especially thauk
the young ladies for their beauti
ful flowers. We hope to entertain
the people with another debate
some time during- the summer
