tidings reached us Wednesday morn
ing. and put our city in mourning.
Our people honored him aw a great
chieftain when he first came to live

The iron bridge fixtures are all
here now, and work will go right on
until the structure is complete. Our
people have suffered much by the
loss of bridges over the Oconee at
this point, but we believe they will
not suffer anymore on that score.

account of the Putnam county fair.
The street sprinkler was out on

heart. He is well equipped for the
high and responsible duties to which
he is called. He is a young man,
but he is a giant among men, and is
destined to climb still higher heights.

THE EMPTY NORTH
One of the most striking passages
of that ancient collection of litera
ture known as the Bible, is “He
hangeth the north over an empty
place.” It is found in the Book of
Job.
The queer part of it is that as
tronomically the north is a some
what empty place. In a measure you
Can see for yourself that there are
not many stars in that direction.
All this is called to mind when
we read of General Nobile's flight
over the Pole a short time ago. He
discovered again what had already
Mr. J. C. Henderson district Man
ager of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, held a meeting o;’ his
Agents in this city Monday. He con.
suited wit hthem as *o conditions in
their territory relative to the busi
ness of th cCompany. He entertain
ed them at dinner at the Boston
Cafe, having twelve or fourteen of
them as his guests.
SHAW LIKES SHAW AGAIN
London, Sept. 29.— (Autocaster)
—No, this iy not another story of
the gresft playwright’s egotism
“Shaw likes Shaw again" only
means that the town of Shaw, in the
upper Thames Valley, has removed
its old ban on the works of George
Bernard Shaw and recommended that
the free library obtain copies of his
latest books.

the north is to be added to the oceans
and the deserts and the mountains
ranges as pure waste. A deal of the
universe, ns far as we can see, is
been discovered, that when you get ffas ^ * n Die sense of not being
to the North Pole you find nothing habitable by man. We cannot live
there—just frozen emptiness.
ThTink of all these years that men
have dreamed of getting to the North
Pole, and striven for it, and died for
What does it amount to, after
all?
It is simply a record to make, a
sort of impossible line to toe, but
all those fanciful dreams of Simms,
Hole, and the like, about there being
i undiscovered country up there,
e pure fiction.
The only part of this globe that is
habitable is the temperate zone, and
a measure the tropics.
General Nobile’s discoveries,
in the seas, and life is difficult in
the high mountain ranges-
Considering how vast, is the uni
verse, and how many of the stars are
simply blazing balls of fire utterly
uninhabitable by any form of life,
and how gigantic are the distances
between the stellar bodies, and even
what a great portion of thia planet
is not habitable, one’s philosophy of
life unconsciously limits the import
ance of mankind, and adds a new
meaning to the exclamation:
“When I consider Thy heavens, the
moon and the stars which Thou hast
ordained, what is man that Thou art
mindful of him, and the son of man
‘•ell as those of others, rovcnl that that ThTou visitest him!
The horses of- Mr. M. H. Bland
and Dr. H. D. Allen took first hon
ors at the Hancock fair last week.
Last Thursday Dr. I. L. Harris
brought us three Varieties of the
black scuppernog.
The doctor takes grert pleasui
the cultivation of hsi vines and trees,
of which he has a great variety, i
of them very rare.
Little Mamie Harris, need about
eight years, daughter of Dr. I. L.
Harris of this city, displayed s
beautiful needle work of her own
sign and make at the Hancock ci
ty fair.
We have lived long and in all
exi/erience never knew it to fail,
that a young man who had not
spect for men older than he. went to
the dogs, as certain as n bone in the
negro cabin’s does.
