The Declaration of Indepcnd mice was read in many places last Tuesday. President McKinley has ordered General Wheeler to report to Genera! Otis nt Manilla. Gen. Whe-der will leave on the next transport for Ma¬ nilla. By lighting 'the Pbilipino’s on the Installment, plan, as McKinley « pol¬ icy now seems to tic, this and too next generation will lmt see the end of tlie war there. Oh, what; a blun¬ der, my countrymen Marietta Jour nal. An intelligent farmer has discov¬ ered that by planting onions and po¬ tatoes in the same field in alternate vows the onions become so strong that thev bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such volume that the roots are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of iho dioutb. Col. Bobt. L Berner nnulo a speceii in Augusta on tho 1th. His audience was much pleased with his effort m 1 til ho sprung his expansion views. A deadly silenco prevailed during his remarks on this point which is suggestive of the views emerf‘lined by his audience upon this question. A man in the lower part of tin State shipped a car load of melon to William J Bryan as a fourth of July present. The gentleman neg¬ lected to prepay the freight and his present was not accepted. f t seems to Vie perfectly natural for some woil tnenning people to msicc unpardon¬ able blunders. Thecleaih oi Montgomery M Fol torn .the poet-journalist, which oe eurred in Atlanta a few days a • ■ has occasioned much ( sadness c Georgia. He was known throughout the State and esteemed greatly. H e press has lost one of its most valua ble factors and tho people a wot tlij frisnd. July the 4th was celebrated in a fitting manner bv the people of Geor¬ gia. Business was practical Im¬ S’.i i pended throughout the State and tl e day given over to public gatherings where patriotic speeches were made and a general celebrating indulged. The 4th in Georgia grows with each year. Tho crop prospect m ia unusually flattering and our farmers could bring their bonds together and maKO an exhibit at tha Slate Fair that \ Id bring awnv the prize. It is yet time for those who feel an iptere* in til# matter to get it on foot, Preparations for the State Fair to ho held in Atlanta this fail arc moving along satisfactorily. Hon. A. J. Smith, member of the Fair Executive Committee, informs us that the prospect for the Fair is very encouraging, He thinks it will bo decidedly successful and of vast profit to the people of 1 he Stnte. Every effort is being made to have it oclipse any previ OU9 Stnte Fair and so far it protn isos todoso by long odds. Hon. Win. Jennings Bryan ad¬ ded materially to the interest of the4th of July in Georgia. He addressed about three thousand Georgia crackers at the Barnos villc chatauqua 011 the 4th and was banqnetted at the Kimball by onthusiastic and appreciative Atlantians at night. He is mak¬ ing very line speeches fail! these will warm be days and unless signs the Democratic nominee in 1900. That wheat convention which is to be held in Macon on July 12 ought to be a grand success. We hope that some patriotic farmer from Rockdale will attend and give a detailed account of the proceedings. Wheat raising in Georgia can be made profitable and wo hope to see the day when tlie State makes her own bread and enough for many others. Success to 1 he Telegraph and Us wheat convention. The Albany Herald correctly savs: “Many communities are on foreign capital to come to aid and are chasing wiil-o-the wisps in 'ho form of Northern and Ear tern capitalists. Wc might as well con¬ vince ourselves without wastim- val liable time that if we are to have lac torics we must build them with our capital. The experience North and South Carolina should not bo lost in Georgia; we should meet theproposition squarely by put tine our own dollars into the coveted miils. After wo nave blazed the way and foreign capital discovers that wo a,re not afraid to trust ourselves will come to seek investment among us of its own accord. ’ 1 tEWOL V TIO fS S Adopted by the Woman's ary Society of the Baptist ehur.*h on the death of Mrs. Nannie M ('she. : Whereas, our allvi.se hcrueiFy Father, in his Providence, has re¬ moved from us by death, Mrs. Nan¬ nie MeCalla, our beloved sister and member of the Woman's Miss o ary Society of the Baptist church, there¬ fore he it Resolved, That in the death of our sister we realize wo have lost a most useful member and the church an earnest and faithful Christian worker.

A little over two years ago a few of our people, t . ding tiie need of a Sunday school, decided we must have one; but a difficulty arose when the question v as asked, "Who wi 11 lead?" hat was soon settled by a proposiuou to call ou Mr L. J. a consecrated Christian and good Sunday school worker, to assist 11 s. Ever ready to help in a good cause, ha soon had our school of about forty including teachers and pupils, or ganized and himself acted as super¬ intendent; also had his girted daugh¬ ters, n trio of sweet singers, to lend a helping hand. They leve to sing for Jesus. During the summer and fall months we had a good attendance, interest¬ ing lessons and good order and had no reason to become discouraged, but when winter came we had to dis¬ band. Last summer we tailed to re¬ vive our school. -; * This spring, however, having more children and more help, we organized again and now have a flourishing school of forty-five regular attend¬ ants, while each Sabbath brings some friend or friends to encourage and help us with cheering words. We have, as superintendents Messrs. Capehart and Scott, two earnest. Christian worker©, well suited to their work; Mr. Will Lester as Secretary and Misses Eddie McDaniel and Maud Scott are organists. We ger good literature very cheap, published by the American Sunday School Union. We have a typical union school, being composed of members from all denominations and working in per¬ fect harmony, realizing vhat Father knows no sect nor creed in appointing His servants and tn v t on¬ ly as one with Him can wc know true happiness.

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. SGQTT’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 hypophojpltitcs that are combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. 5oc. and $1 00 . all druggists.
