Be¬ _ fore the war the farmers owned fterailroads, the banks and the factories and loaned the merchants money. After the war all of this was changed. The farmers now owe the merchants and the mer flasts owe the banks. There is do good reason why this should lie so. It is much easier to make a living now than it was fifty years ago. The necessaries of life are ty per cent cheaper and labor is one hundred per cent higher than it was. So it follows that a day’s labor now is from three to four fas more beneficial to the labor¬ er and his family than it was fifty years ago.

MONEY IN FARMING. Hon. W . J. Nortlien delivered mi interesting address before the Georgia State Agricultural Socie¬ tyat Cedar town last week. Col. Nortlien prepared his speech with three purposes in view. First, to encourage our farmers to better methods; second, to make known to our people the possibilities of our fields; third, to advertise abroad our agricultural resources: “Farming,” says Col. Nortlien, “is just as much a business as banking or merchandise. To be successful, it must be managed upon the same strict business principles. I will go further and say—any farmer in Georgia who improves his land, manages his crops intelligently as to selection, cultivation and sale, controls his labor as labor is controlled in a successful business house, or upon a railroad that declares regularly good dividends on its stock, guards economically and judici ously his expenses and properly invests his income, will make money farming, in spite of theun just burdens our people are bear ing under trusts and hurtful na tional legislation. Take themeth ods of an average Georgia farm and measure them by any known rules of system discipline and economy, and you will be amazed that we ever expect good results. Study discipline, study manage¬ ment, study system and economy, and apply, industriously, the means for practical developement, attain to the high possibilities of your business, and you will be better that you have suffered and the world will be glad that you lived.” The quality of the blood de¬ pends much upon good or bad di¬ gestion and assimilation; to make the blood rich in life and strength J. H. giving constituents, use Dr. McLean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier; it will nourish the properties of the blood from which the elements of vitality are drawn. $1.00 per bottle. Dr. Talmage says: “Gather up the money that the working classes have spent for rum during the last thirty years, and I will build for every man a house and lay out for him a 1 garden and clothe his sons and daughters in silks, and stand at his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays; and secure him a policy of life insurance, so that the present home may be well maintained after he is dead. The most per sistent, most overpowering enemy of the working classes is intoxca ting liquor. It is anarchists of the centuries. Life will acquire new zest, and cheerfulness return, if you will im¬ pel your liver and kidneys to. the performance of their functions. Dr. J. TI.

The Germans have a story which that home-loving people like to repeat. A father, when his daughter became a bride, gave her a golden casket with the in junction not to pass it into other hands, for it held a charm which in her keeping would be of ines timable value to her as the mis tress of a house. Not only was she to have the entire care of it, but she was to take it every morn¬ ing to the cellar, the kitchen, the dining-room, the library, the par¬ lor, the bed-rooms, and to remain with it in each place for live min¬ utes looking carefully about. Af¬ ter a lapse of three years the fath¬ er was to send the key, that the secret talisman might be revealed. Tlie directions were followed. The key was sent. The casket was opened. It was found tocon tain an old parchment, on which were written these words: “The eyes of the mistress are worth one hundred pair of servants’ bauds.” The wise father knew that a prac tice of inspection followed faith fully for three years would become a habit and be self-perpetuating— that tlxe golden casket and the hidden charm would have accom plislied tlieir mission, . « *- If you are suffering with weak or inflamed eyes, quickly or granulated cured by eyelids, you Dr. can be McLean’s using J.

A young lady to whom John Wilson was engaged, was visiting at his mother's. John had a bright little sister who became very fond of the visitor. One day when they were alone to getlier, the child said: “Miss Jones, I wish that you would stay at our house always." The prospective bride, with a sweet blush, responded, “Do you like me so well that would bo glad to have me for a sister?" “Yes,” said Anna; “but that's not what I was thinking about. When you are not here, John is horrid. He scolds us little ones and bangs us about all tbe time.” Miss Jones was startled. She bad thought that John was a particularly amiable young man. She had noticed, with great sat¬ isfaction, how kind lie was to the younger children when in her presence. Was it possible that this was all put on? She would not for the world marry a man who was really cross and harsh to such a little darling as Anna. She determined to investigate the matter. She managed to be pres¬ ent but unseen, when John come where the children were at play in the barn. As soon as bo was near enough to be heard, he cried out angrily: “You little brats, you have no business here. Get out of the barn this minute, or I'll give you a good trouching. That was enough for Miss Jones. Such an elder brother would not be likely to make a good husband. The engagement ring was re¬ turned and the bride-elect went home feeling that she had made a providential escape. John's lesson was a severe one, but he deserved it. I advise all the girls to find out how their admirers behave at home before they swallow their taffy and say “Yes.” A coarse-grained and brutal man may put on lire clothes and fine manners and thus try to get a wife; but as soon as the honey-moon is over the old na¬ ture will assert itself, and woe to the woman who lias become the slave for life! And if that young man, who has been trained by a loving mother in a true home, wants to secure a wife who is amiable as well as beautiful, let him try to find out what kind of a daughter or sister she is. If she is not gentle, kind, and patient in the old home, she will not be in the new.—Southern Presbyterian. The most delicate- constitution can safely use Dr. J. H. McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm; it is a sure remef ty j for coughs, loss of voice, ftnd al t}mmt and lung diseases, Recently published statistics show that there are in the United States 19,633 schools for colored children, and that 1,131,964 of these children attended such schools. Nearly all these schools are in the south, and the whites pay nine-tenths of the taxation that supports them, The Birmingham Chronicle sa ys that there is a woman living on the boundary line between Jef f ergon au q Walker counties who j s seven feet two inches high, about 25 years old, and able to whip any man in tlie neiglibor hood.

The following clipping from the Christain Intilligencer is the best epitome of boys etiquette that we have ever seen. Until a boy reaches the stage of propriety when he sits up late and rises early to read manuals of social customs, this will help him solve most of his puzzles: “In the street.—Hat lifted when saying ‘Good-bye, or How do you do?" Also when offering a lady a seat, or acknowledging a favor. “Keep step with any one you walk with. Always precede a lady upstairs, but ask if you shall precede her in going through a crowd or pnDlic place. “At the street door.—Hat off the moment you step into a pri vate hall or office. “Let a lady pass first always, unless she asks you to precede her. “In tbe parlor.—Stand till every lady in the room, also older people, are seated. “Rise if a lady enters tbe room after you are seated, and stand till slie takes a seat. “Look people straight in the face when they are speaking to you. “Let ladies pass through a door first, standing aside for them. “In the dining-room.—Take your seat after ladies and ciders. “Never play with your knife, nng or spoon. “Do not take your napkin up in a bunch in your hands. “Eat as fast or as slow as others, and finish the course when they do. “Do not asked to bo excused before the others, unless the rea¬ son imperative. “Rise when the ladies leave the room, and stand till they are out. “If all go together, the gentle¬ men stand by the door till the ladies pass.” There are many accidents and diseases which affect Stock and cause serious inconvenience and loss to the farmer in his work, which may be quickly remedied by the use of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Volcanic Oi{ Liniment. Always look at the bright side of things. If you are sick, and your health is inquired after, do not reply gloomily, “No better,” but brightly, “No worse!” There were two buckets going up and down a well. “Ah, me!” sighed one of them, “I never come up full, but I have to go back empty!’’ “Glory be to God!” exclaimed the other, “I never go down empty but I come up full!” And to our thinking the thankful bucket--the joyful bucket—the “bright sided” bucket had the best of it.

TERMS REA SOX A RLE. No. 26 TRION FACTORY. The history of Trion Cotton Factory in Chattooga county is remarkable even in this day of rapid industral development and in this favored region. Eleven years ag the mill was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt by the present company, which then had $2/50,000 capital. Last week the company published a petition for an amended charter allowing an increase of its capital stock to $520,000. This increase is to be made out of the earning of the mill. In addition to this addition of $270,000 to the capital stock, $225,000 has been distributed in dividends, and many thousands of dollars expended in improve rnents, such as a briekstore, a brick gin house, a new race, numerous dwellings for employes, etc. It would be hard to match the history of Trion factory. It speaks volumes for the South as the coming manufacturing center of this county. rou the m.oon, Weakness, take Malaria, Indigestion and liiliousness.
