Georgian and American pony contest. The children out in the State an i
outside Georgia were a little slow at first.
But how they arc coming now!
hvery mail brines a heap of letters from distant addhesses, and ih* 1
letters are full of "ginger.” Every girl or boy seems sure of winning.
Doiothy Davis, of Dothan. Ala., writes: "1 have my subscription
book, and so 1 am going to work in earnest now.”
Please send me subscription blanks, etc., so 1 can win a pony,” is
• S. Morton. Jr., writes, is a mure frequently used wording.
The floo<; of mail is becoming a serious problem. Once this week two
men in the contest department worked all night answering letters, an 1
then did not catch up entirely with the work. It is hoped, therefore,
that contestants who do not receive answers the following day will re
member that It is not always possib’e to go through all the letters. cheoK
all the votes and keep up with the routine work of the contest in a day,
and be patient.

LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET.
LIVERPOOL, May 29. -Wheat opened
4 to 4d lower. At 1:30 p. m the
market was 4 to 4d lower; closed 4d
lower to 'id higher
Corn opened unchanged. At 1:30 p. ni
the market was 4 to ' 4 d lower; closed
unchanged to Ld lower.
CHICAGO, May 29. The Inter Ocean
say s: "It was the general belief of wheat
traders last night that the market front
now on will be governed largely by the
character of the weather and crop re
port * The bull interests contend that
sufficient damage has been done to win
ter wheat to warrant higher prices
"There were many hears on corn last
night who expect lower prices with an
increased movement, which is due from
now on. Those who are buying on breaks
advise the theory that the movement will
not come up to expectations of the hears.
Conservative people are advising cau
tion in buying oats on bulges, although
they believe that a continuation of the
buying that has of late been seen will
carry prices higher."

once been the embankment of a
railroad. But no train had run
upon it for many years. The
forest on either side swelled up
the slopes of the embankment
and crested across it in a green
wave of trees and bushes.
The trail was as narrow as a man’s body, and
was no more than a wild-animal runway. Occa

forest mould, advertised that the rail and the ties
still remained. In one place,la ten-inch trc<^k" r $*aB«** ?;
