We witnessed an act last Sunday

it off with as much coolness as any

“Good morning.”
• “Good - morning, Mr. Morrisson,”

“Whew ! What is the excite
ment'?”
“Well, I don’t mind telling yon, if
vou’ll promise to keep my name out
of the paper.”*
After assuring him that such was not
our intention at the time, Mr. Mor
risson resumed, the substance of his
explanation being about as follows :
“The if on ore demand lias* become
greater than we can supply. New or
ders have been made and contracted
for that will keep me rushing pretty
lively to fill. The steel plant in
Chattanooga alone, wants iOO tons
per day This with the orders from
other furnaces, will compel me to in
crease the capacity of the mines to
300 tons per day. lam making all
arrangements as fast as possible to
promote the handling of the ore with
rapidity. Narrow-guage railroads
are being fastly laid to all the tunnels
ami the A. G. S. railroad is extend
lug a track with in a short distance
of the mines, which will enable us to
erect chutes and load the cars with
rapidity and very little labor Thir
teen veins are now open, and in a few
days the men will all be under ground,
and cars of ore will be leaping from
the entrances of the mines like balls
from cannons. As soon as all the
minor details are completed, peuna
nentlv and conveniently located, the
force will be increased to 300 bands.
Houses are being erected and before
simmer has past, in all appearances,
vlori isson will be like a thriving west
ern mining town. And by that time
von can watch for some startling de
velopnients by other iron ore men,
but as yet you need say nothing about
that, if you say anything at all, as it
is only a surmise.”
We assured him of our fidelity and
•onstancy in keeping secrets of a pub
lic character, anil thanked him for the
information and confidence he reposed
ill us.
OUR SCHOOL.
Liquidate The Debt On The

The time is drawing near for the
commencement or our school, and the
people should hold a meeting in tne
iear future and determine as to the
engagement o teachers, in order that
they may have ample time to make
such arrangements as are necessary.
L’here is one more thing that should
he given attention, and that is the
lebt which hangs over the additional
building, which does not reflect very
creditably upon the integrity aud hon
esty of our people as a community
Anil which is placing before the eyes
and understanding of the children a
very poor example. We don’t know

t was made, but we do know that the
people as a whole are responsible tor

It Only Takes Three or Four to PHI
the Town.
It has been stated on more than one
occasion when any new venture was
proposed, or a new housti to be built,
that property in the way of town lots
could not be bought at reasonable fig
ures, and thus discouraging the parties
from coming here. Only the other day
we understand that a party desiring to
build a summer residence, applied to
one of our prominent men for terms on
an acre of ground, and received in re
ply that it would cost him as nine i as
150 acres would. The man left in dis
gust, We have no idea what motive
prompted such a reply. It might be
that he wanted to sell the whole 160
acres, or work the man for a big price.
But one thing we do know, and that is
such men are a drawback to the people
and town. Wrapt in the mantle of per
sonal gain and selfishness, they see
nothing lofty or commendable in mak
ing a "’small sacrifice for the general
welfare of their town. Make all and
give none is their motto. We wish to
state for the benefit of that gentlemen,
and in justice to our public-spirited men
that property for building purposes,
can be purchased at as low a figure as
any place in the State with the same
idvantages, and on terms to suit the
mrchaser : and also that we are sorry
he was so unfortunate as to strike one
of our “naaowheads,”
ORGANIZATION,
Striking Illustration of What United
Efforts Will Do.
The Decatur land ami improvement
company lias made no effort to get
up h peculation ou its lands. Up to
the present time the company has sold
a few residence lots to bonafide set
tlers.
They have devoted all their ener
gies to the securing of manufacturing
companies that M’onld give a perma
nent growth to their cicy.
Their policy has been to unite
northern manufactures with capital,
by donating sites and putting down
their own money with 'hem.
In this they have been remarkably’
successful—ll,9oo,ooo having been
invested in nev/ industrial establish
ments in the last ninety days—mainly
by northern manufacturers. This is
a striking illustration of what a united
effort will accomplish.
It is a verification of what we have
said in these columns over and over
again—that with the millions of
dollars north looking south for invest
ment—that any community or city
advantageously located can secure all
the capital and exports needed for the
establishment of maimacturies by a
united ellort on their part.
It is the one idea and principle we
have been trying to instill and en
thuse into the mind* of our people for
the past few weeks. Let us organize
harmoniously and pull together lor

How a Young Dadeite Displayed his

A patty or young folks took the
train a few Saturdays ago for Fort

All of its grandeur and wonders were

What True Merit Will Do.
The unprecedented sale of Boscheb’s
German Syrup within a few years has
astonished the world. Without doubt it
is the safest and best remedy ever dis
covered for the speedy and effectual cure
of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. It acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by physicians, as it does not dry
up a Cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary re
moves the cause of the trouble, heals the
(jarts affected and leaves them in a pure
y healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for lise when the disease makes its
appearance,will save doctor’s bills and a
long spell of serious illness, A trial will
convince you of these facts. It is posi
tively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price 75c. large bot’l
A Cood Teacher in View.
As will be seen in another column, a
call is made urging the people to take
some steps towards securing teachers
for the school. Since putting the article
in tppe, Prof. H. D. Wood, of Gurley,
Ala., arrived in our town, and yester
day a convention was held at the court
house. to consider his application for
the school, and as to securing him as
principal. Prof. Woods made an ex
cellent impression upon all present, A
week was given him as to whether he
would accept the proposition submitted.
GOUR3E OF TRUE LOVE,
It Never Did Run Smooth and
Never Will,
A unique illustration of this fact came
to the attention of officer Joe Greene in At
lanta last week.
About 8 o’clock somebody telephoned the
"police station asking that an officer ho sent
,to the lower portion of Marrietta street.
Officer Greene repaired, an 1 arriving at the
point indicated, found another officer already
on tho ground.
Upon investigation it was learned that the
officers had been summoned by a youdg lady
who was a victim of popularity. She seems
to hßve had two sure-enough fellows, both
of whom loved her very dear'y. That night
her two admirers happened to reach her
house at the same time and a pretty row was
the result. The young lady feared that a
duel or some sort of a fight might result and
she sent for the police.
After the affair had quieted down, the
young lady bogun to feci remorse. She had
a deeided preference between her lovers, and
manifested it by sending the police after the
former one, with orders to bring him back
to her. He wasn’t averse to going, and the
two were soon basking in the sunshine of
each other’s smiles.
But their troubles wero not endod. The
young lady in tho case had, by her action in
summoning the police, incenced the lady in
whose house she was living, and the result
was that the younger one was summarily
fired from the elder’s house.
An air of sadness seamed to hover over
the lovers as they walked slowly up tho
street,

A ROMANCE.
Doath of Payne’s Sweetheart.
A remarkable woman was buried at Athens,
Ga., whose life was a long romance. By her
side in the coffin was placed the original copy
of “Homo, Sweet Home,” which was dedica
ted to her by her sweetheart, John Howard
Payne. Her name was Mary Harden, a
daughter of Geneial Harden, of Savannah.
For years Miss Harden lived a secluded lifo,
rarely passing beyond the threshold of her
home. Years ago sho was considered one of
the most beautiful and attractive women in
the South. Early in life she met John How
ard Payne, the author of “Homo, Sweet
Homo.” Time and again Payne offered her
his hand, but she did not think well enough
of him to marry him. While she did not
love him well enough ot marry him, her
friendship was sufficiently strong to cause
her to treasure his memory and preserve
with almost religious reverence the few mem
entoes of her dead lover. Any number of
times she was offered large sums of money
for tho original copy of “Home, Sweet
Home,” but she refused all propositions. It
was said that tho original copy was inter
lined with love messsages, and other tokens
in Payne’s handwriting. Besides these linos
there were other tokens of regard which she
prked highly, and destroyed before she diid
for fear that they might fall into some per- '
sons hands who would make them public, and ,
a love that was sacred to her would become
the jest of the world.

Louisianna Rice Crop.
The reports rccoived by rice men from New
Orleans a few days ago of damage to the rise
crop by the recent storms which submerged
a considerable district in lower Louisnnna
with salt water seem to have been greatly
exaggerated, The planters in the district re
ferred to have flumes connecting with the
J/ississippi river and they can throw fresh
water over their fields, thus destroying the
effects of the salt water. The reports from
the upper Louisianna districts, however, are
not encouraging. A merchant in New Or
leans, long connected with the rice trade,
writes to his correspondents in Savannah
that he has recently inspected the crops for
100 miles on both sides of the Mississippi
and he estimates that the growing crop will
be 25 per cent less than that of last year.
