FRED WALLIS* OsMnr, Ga., Junt 16., 1901. 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. • -»•< • 4-4 Tae Atlanta Constitutions School Offer* The Atlanta Conetitution luu offered to every boy or girl in Cleo gj rtj who will secure 100 new sub¬ scribers to the Dailey and Suuda\ Constitution a year’s tuition at any educational institution it Georgia and HOJ.OO towards tin btudent’s expenses for the year.

He Discreetly Deft Before the Vocif erocsiy Applauded Sentiments He 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.

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.
