THE HEALTHY GROWTH
OF THIS CITY.
The people of Athens have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the
healthy growth of the city dnring the
past year. There has been no blowing
of horns, no great demonstrations, no
boom, bnt in a quiet, business like way
the city has gone forward, developing
along perfectly natural and legitimate
lines.
The increase in population has been
not less than one thousand during the
post year, possibly as mnch as fifteen
hundred. The class of people that has
oome to ns as citizens is of the highest
type. Many of them are here to edaoate
their ohildren, many to go into business,
many to engage in manufacturing.
The number of idle people is reduced
to a minimum. Our people are not get
ting rich in a day. but they aro earning
good liviogs. Their progress is of the
steady and lasting kind.
There are not more than two vacant
store rooms in the city and the demand
for residences is such that it cannot be
filled. This in itself is a good indication
of solid progress.
There never wns a time when the ed
ucational institutions of the city were
doing a better work, and they are all
enjoying prosperity.
Tne manufacturing interests of the
city are looking up. The pmall industry
movement has taken shape and snccess
la attendant upon those industries that
have been started. Others are being
discussed and will no doubt come to
maturity.
There is no oity in Georgia that has a
brighter fntnre than Athens, and onr
people shonld realize this fact so thor
oughly that they will not allow the for
ward movement to be checked In the
least.
There is a decided movement in favor
of amending the state constitution and
the legislature may aproint a commis
sion to suggest the needed amendments
to be submitted to the people.
We are opposed to a constitutional
convention, and while there mey be
some amendments S €ce8sar y> *t would
be well to go slow evep * n work.
Georgia has a good coP 8titatioa - * s
not perfeot and some of"'TfS N P rOTisicms
are deemed a little antiquated b^vij® U P
to-date, but taken as a whole it is
alls and sensible document.
If it is to bo amended in any patticn
lar, the people should discuss the amend
ments thoroughly before voting upon
them. It is not always that a revised
constitution is more excellent than the
old document, and in these days when
money and powerful corporations get
pretty much what they want in the way
of legislation, it might be well to guard
the old constitution most jeslonsly.
THE BIRTH OF
A FAMOUS HYMN.
In the November issno of the Ladies'
Home Journal Cleveland Moffett tells
how the greatest of all singing evangel
ists. Ira D. Sankey, came to give the
world a hymn that will live long after
bis voice is stilled. It was daring
Moody and Sankey's first visit to Great
Britain. As they were entering the
train in Glasgow, Mr. Sankey bought a
copy of a penny religious paper called
•■The Christian Age.” Looking over it,
his eyes fell on some verses, the first two
lines of which read thus:
"There were ninety and nine that safely
lay
In the shelter of the fold."
"Mr. Moody,” exclaimed Mr. Sankey,
"I have fonnd the hymn that I've been
looking for for years.”
"What is it?" asked Mr. Moody.
"It’s about a lost sheep.”
Two days later, in Edinburgh, they
held a great meeting in the Free A seem
bly Hall. As Doctor Bonar finished,
Mr. Moody leaned over the pulpit and
asked the singer If he had not a solo for
the occasion. The thought of the verses
he bad read iu the penny paper came to
Mr. Sankey’s mind, and opening his
scrap book, in which he had pasted the
clipping, he p'aced it before him on the
organ, and after a moment of silent sup-
plioatlon, struck a f ,11 chord and began
to sing. And vnto bj note came the
now famous son^ II. composed it as
he wen* a’on* W.'iai he fnnj waa the
Joy that &wclied in bis own roul, hope
that eras loro, the 1 re for those who
neede l help. Thus bo finished the first
r;.:
Then, as be paus-d and played a few
waiting to begin .again, the
thought came to him: "Caul ring the
second stanza as I did the first ? Can I
remember the notes?’’ And concen
trating his mind once more for the effort
he began to sing. Sd ho went cn
through for five stanzas and after the
services he pnt the melody in music

THE PROGRESS
OF THE PACIFIERS.
The latest dispatch from Manila re
ports the present stage in the pacifica
tion and benevolent assimilation of the
happy islands in that quarter. Geuen-1
Hughes reports of Cebu that "lack <f
food” and the “harassing iffectb" of the
taotics porsned by the America! forces
are “having their inflaence on the na
tives.” Starvation, it appears, H gen
eral. "In many places rice doled cut
by the government, one mealata time ’
It is believed that the outbreak in S -
mar “were chiefly due to lack of ford ’
Dispatches from Samar say that- the
bead men of the villages have been told
that "they must surrender the persons
involved in the Balangiga maistcrr, or
they will bo sent to Gcam end their vil
lages destroyed.” Marines have letu
stationed atrtwo towns "ai d ten gun
boats are patrolling the Samar crow
“—it of tno towns iu the southern part
of the island havo been destroyed ”
Tsasi&s Q&OiS
And eating Is simply perfunctory—dom
because it must be.
This Is the common complaint of the
dyspeptic.
II eating sparingly, leaving much of the
light meal provided, would cure dyspepsia,
few would suffer from it long.
The only way to cure dyspepsia, which is
difficult digestion, is by giving vigor and
tone to the stomach and the whole diges
tive system. It is therefore cured posi
tively and absolutely by Ilood’s Sarsapa
rilla.
The testimonial of Frank Fay, ICG X
Street, South Boston, Mass., voluntarily
given like thousands of others, should lead
to a trial of this peculiar medicine. ** My
niece,” he writes, “was a great sufferer
from dyspepsia for six years. She tried
many medicines In vain. She had no appe
tite and was troubled with sour stomach
and headaches. After taking two bottles
of Hood's Sarsaparilla she was well.”
Hood's SarsaesariHa
promises to cure and keeps the promise.
Accept no substitute for it.
