'W ' We hare never knewn aueh a season H* winter; no rain; water eouree* drying up; spring* failing; yet the wood* are out in full dreai and do not seem te suffer from the drought. We read of famine in Japan and China, and of pestilence elsewhere, with an spurn henaiva tremor, for nearly all thingi with na depend on the timber trade, and without rains the supply will not be (uHclent to keep the mills running eu time. The Hilten A Dodge Lumber Company hare bought up all the mill* they could in thle section.

Many peo ple new think there will be a Dew town at Bellevue, the water front being to deep there that vessels of the large, tonnage can corns in. -Che ililtoa A Dedge Company are laying an extra track to ship their timber from that point, and have rented er bought out the Van Oilder Cypress mill near Da rien, which is being tal. in down and removed to Belleville, home beautiful bnildings In that locality.and some tine old plantations and orange groves re- main to bear witness to the “once w as.’ That “once was!” Ceuid we go back for one hundred and seventeen years an.I loo. nun mo eyaa of then upon to day what would we thinl' of it, and all ithas broaght uaf One uundred and seventeen waa the age •>( aa old lady, 1 formerly a citizen of Clarkosviile, w ho has Just died In Atlanta.

The claim ed to be related to Jean C Calhoun ami would bftru toll us of the affable man ners of his wife, who “w. uid bring a ' a gold wash basin, and with her own bands, bathe the tired fact of her visi tor odd cousin. Dr. P. once appealed to an old fami ly servant, waiting at tabic, to know if Mrs. L. was not “a beautiful woman ia her youth f“but Myria .towered shy ly, from behind the wait , she held : “People's taste* willdiffe., sir.” Be that a* it may, sho was an honest, in dustrious women who had .uch sorrow, losing her husband and h .- "nly son, { ears and years ago. b ic had two ■lighters, they married, 'lie has liv ed with them. 1 believe, ever since.

Tho return of Mr. Jnlina Cohen from the Northern markets, where he lias been for several weeks laying in his complete stock of spring and summer goods,is marked by a period of Increased sales and renewed patronage,' aud tho store is indeed the busiest scene in Athens.

His mammoth dry goods store Is managed mest success fully by Mr. W. T. Houston, an ex perienced salesman, and the \yholesale department under the manipulatioub «»f Mr. Lutiiuer hus proved a blooming suc cess. All in all, there l« not a more com plete, or a progressive firin in Georgia bundling dry goods than Julius Cohen and Company.

Thu entire secret of the success of these gentlemen may be summed up iu brief as follow*: Experienced buyer* who buy from the manufacturers direct. Low prices and rapid sales. Numerous aud accommodating clerks. Fair and square dealings with every customer, and plenty of pluck and en terprise behind it all. These principles placed Julius Co hen and Company iu their prominent placo among dry goods men of the State.
