1899 .
18UU signalized an epoch in
country when the
firnt ot DeLoach & Bell of
ping Shoals, Ga., put their
together and decided io put in nn
up to date roller flour mill.
There being nothing of the kind
in this section, caused many to err
ici«e tlntn and say they preferred
the old burr ground flour etc. 1 ho¬
over when th ■ mill was started u|
and was mnking the best flour that
this, country had ever teen the
fact spread like wildfire m.d in n
low w. oksthe fanners of six or
eight counties were gat hexing t her*
with their wheat, and the like was
never seen before. This deinon
’ statoin decided the farmer for all
time and tin* next season saw sev¬
eral times as much wheat sowed
as ever before. Thsnext year about
eight new mill went up in th* ter¬
ritory that this ‘.Th* pioneer”
m il lmd'ground wheat thi year be
lores. The building of so main
now mill in so small a radius cans
-id conjecture ns to whether this
mill would do nearly so flouabh
nvg a business as the season before
when it had no competition. In
answer to this, we are reliably in¬
formed, that this mill lias ground
25 per chut more custom wheat th*
p ist season than the preceding one.
This fact speaks well for Mess is.
DeLoacb & Bell, and wo attribute
their success mainly to two veiy
e .scnlial qualifications these gen¬
tlemen poss :B? : Ist, geniality and
2nd. they are mill men and tuidor
xstand as few men do, how to ope
ute a roller milk These gentle¬
men are very grateful for your past
patronage and are desirous of 10 -
luining it. The mill set a higl
pace, when they started up, b\
giving 38 lbs flour and 12 lbs bran
to the bushel. This did not suit
some people because they thought
they should have 4011s Hour. Tin
fact that none of the other milh
have ever been able to give an\
more goes to *ho*v that DeLoacb
& Boll were lumest and game tin
farmers all they were entitled to.
Tliis amount they have contineu
to give ever since. They furthei
wish it stated that the bad wheat
of last season mad* it necessary foi
them to have their rolls re-dresseo
nnd purchase new bolting cloths.
Tnis has all been done and they nr.
now roady to give you «oni© more
of that 1899 Hour.

He Discreetly Deft Before the Vocif

Ilxpresred In His Speech Could Be
Analyzed, a la 'Webster,
When the son of the uresident of the
Rig Mountain Lumber company cam*
into the mountains to learn the bust
ness, so to speak, I knew within 13
minutes that he had come to the
wrong place. lie was a city chap, now
' ly graduated and thoroughly out of
touch with everything mountainous,
: He was a bright fellow, however, and
ernply capable, onlv the mountains
I were not the field for Ids development.
As time elapsed his distaste grew, and
I It was all he could do not to express
his opinion of tlie mountain people,
their manners, customs, homes, morals
tnd everything connected with them.
He was wise enough to confide in me
alone and bided Ids time to get away
to some more congenial clime. And
' expected,
he got away sooner than lie
It happened that there was a public
meeting one night at the sawmill shed,
and lie was called on to make a few
remarks. Every other man at the
meeting except myself, who acted as
chairman, was of the mountains, and
their illiterate talk had roused tli#
young college fellow to the limit. II#
eaw a chance to get even, in his own
mind at least, and when tlie call camo
for him he responded promptly. Ills
speech, quite brief, but to tlie point,
was as follows, copied from his own
manuscript, even the [applause] part:
“My friends, I am glad to meet you
on this occasion, for 1 have wished to
say to you publicly what I think of
you, though our acquaintance has not
been long. Coming as a stranger
among you, I was only partly prepared
for what was in store. Now. let me
say to you that half has not been told
me. {Applause.] In the internecine
arena your lethiferous conduct has
artounded me by the trucidation nnd
occision characterizing it among no
men I have ever known. {Loud ap¬
plause.] In the diversified field of
mendacity your cffoits would make
Machiavelli take to the tall timber.
[Uproarious applause.] In all fura
eious, raptorial find predacious pur
suits you have done such wonder#
that the gifted and great Jonathan
Wild would have felt Ids latrociny
was a sounding brass and his direptioo
a tinkling cymbal. [Great applause.]
In tlie broad expanse of labor your
torpescent oseitation has made you
sui generis among all pandiculate man¬
kind. [Cheers and shouts of "Good fe¬
us!"] As good livers, your tables
groan beneath their stercoraceovis and
impetiginous burden, and as drinkers,
your teinulent bibaeity has made the
jrapulous reputation of Bacchus 10 b#
a sign of puritanical abstemiousness
[Loud applause.] As for yourselves, I
take pleasure iu saying here to you.
without fear of successful contrndie
tlon, that your uugacity is forever
established; as observers of the law,
your aberrance is teratologlcnl. and
personally you are a cohesive concat
enation of rublgant exuviae, that 1
take especial pleasure in believing doe*
not exist elsewhere on earth. [ Vocif
erous applause. J”
When the enthusiasm had cooled
down somewhat, lie proceeded to speak
on the subjects before the meeting and
«at down. The mountaineers wer*
pleased to death with the college man’s
high flown speech about them, and
though 1 didn't know the meaning of
all the big words he used I did know
that lie had been calling them liars and
•murderers and thieves and scoundrels
ind drones and lawless drunkards, be¬
sides condemning their fare and anath¬
ematizing the lot of them personally.
But not one of them suspected, and I
was hoping nothing would come of it
and they would forget, even if any o'
the large words were remembered,
when one day a hook agent drove up
to the office in a buckboard and an
nouneed that he was selling*" ebstor’s
Unabridged Dictionary for $2 a copy
and showed a sample that was as big
as a box of soap.
Nobody had ever seen so much book
for the mosey, nor had anybody evei
seen a dictionary in that neighborhood
•ind when the agent began to tell what
1 valuable thing it was to he in every
family the men became interested, nno
it wasn't long until the agent had sold
25 copies, to be delivered the following
week. When he had gone away with
ids sample, I called the young nmD
into the private office for consultation
"Don’t say a word,” he began as
soon as he had closed the door. “1
know exactly where I am at, and
Fll be some place else before Mr. Web¬
ster arrives to throw any light on my
recent remarks. I am not shedding
any tears, and in order that the die
denary buyers and others may know
Just what I think of them I shall leave
two dozen copies of my speech for dis
tribution on the morning of my de
parture.”
He did just as be said he would, and
tt was a good thing for him that he
never came back auy more.-W. T

“In proof of the assertion that tli*.
world is growing better,” remarked Op
tim. “let me mention the fn< t that we
never find stones iu the-coffee we buj
fit the grocery stores nowadays.”
“No,” growled Pessim. "The reason
for that is that most persons who buy
coffee have it ground when they buy it.
The grocers pick out the stones for fear
of ruining their mills. The world is
growing more enlightened in its selfish
aess. That’s all.”—Chicago Tribune.

Th# French Cavalry at Sedan.
Both banks of the Givonne were In
German hands; so was Balan, a small
village nearer to Sedan than Bazeilles,
and soon after 1 o’clock no fewer than
420 German guns were Hailing shells
into the French army, which stood in
close formations within a space meas
uring less than two miles in breadth or
depth. Out of this terrible cauldron of
defeated troops about this time rode
the French cavalry in a heroic endeav¬
or to turn the fortunes of the day and
retrieve the honor of France.
General Margueritte, called by some
“the star of his arm,” was struck in
the face by a bullet while riding out to
reconnoiter the ground before he charg¬
ed. He now handed over the cavalry
command to De Gallifet, who for th©
second time on that tremendous day
led tlie flower of French cavalry
against the enemy and for the space of
half an hour charged the German
ranks again and again on the hillsides
north of Sedan.
But the courage of the gallant horse¬
men was all in vain. The arme blanche
was unequally matched against the
breechloading rifle held in steady
hands, and no effort of the French
•■avairy could withstand the slowly
lghtening grasp of that fiery circle.—

“You must never both get cross at

tect his wife whenever an occasion
irises, and a wife must love, honor

wherever he goes.”
“But, sir”— pleaded the young bride.
