A HALF kiLLi’ N
I'ORKSI'KNT In IMPROVING THE
PROPERTY AND PLANTS!
of the Georgia Mining, Manufactur

Deed of Trust Made to the Me
tropolitan Trust Co.,
The Georgia mining, manufac
turing and investmtment compa
ny, of which Senator Joseph fi.
Brown is president, has made ar
rangements to greatly improve its
property all over the state.
The eomprny owns the Dade
coal mines, the Castle Rock coal
company, tho Walker iroi and cool
company, the Goorgia iron and coal
company, and the Bartow iron and
maganese company.
In ordor to make a number of
permanent improvements in the
pltnta and to increase the working
capital, tho ivunrfmny Will Issue a
half million dollars worth of bonds
of one thousand dollars each.
In order to sell these bonds the
company has, under the signature
of its president, Senator Joseph
IS. Brown, filed a deed of a trust in
the clerk’s office of the superior
court, to the Metropolitan Trust
company of New York city.
The Georgia oorapany mortgages
for this purpose to the Metropoli
tan Trust company 3,475 shares of
the Dade fcoal company. 1,975
in the Walker Iron and coal com
pany, and forty-four bonds of the
Chattanooga Iron company, The
entire amount, valuing the shares
at SI,OOO each the Dado and
Walker companies, and SSOO each
in the Chattanooga company, is sl,-
439,000.
This amount is far from being
the value of tne entire property of
the company.
The bonds are gold bonds and
Tile first SIOO,OOO will he employ
ed in making permanent improve
ments in the plants of the company
and the remaining $400,000 will he
used as an additional working capi
tal.
This simply means that the oom
pany is outgrowing its present fa
cilities and that a million dollars
vill ho expended in improving its
plants.

people have at times a feeling of lassi

An Idea for Young Farm
Mr. Editor:
You ask for items of interest, and
I have been trying for a long time
to get one for you, and now I have
found it.
My item is especially for young
spare made farmer boys, “one of
whom I am which.”
I am binding wheat and oats,
guess mogt of the boys are, too.
I found considerable inconvoi
enoe in the mauner of tho fit of my
pants. I oonoluded to try another
pair. In searching for another
pair, I came aoross a pair that
seemed of entirely a new fit for me;
and jumping into them. When I
came into my mother’s presenoe,
she exclaimed with a laugh:
“Those are your uncle Bob’s pants,
What are you doing in them r
Feeling easy, I answered.
She insisted that I should with
draw and don my own attire for the
harvest field.
But I was determined, and now
boys, I want uncle Bob’s patterns to
cut all my pants by, for they are
the easiest fit for a grain binder, I
ever struck.
I will also say to said uncle if he
doesn’t want his pants to go grain
gathering, on asmall boy, he must
not lay them around these prem
ises.
I will close by saving troys, if
vour garments oppress you this hot
weather, just get your uncle Bob’s
pants and ‘liteout.’
Mr, editor, be sure and let the
hoys know through your valuable
paper in time to get the benefit of
it this season,

Picnic at Rising Fawn.
Last Saturday June Bth wo
had the pleasure of attending a
picnic at “Cave Springs Minor;”
one mile south-east of Rising
Fawn Furnace.
Our weariness from a very un
pleasant freight train ride and the
rather tiring walk necessary to
reach our destination, was entire
ly dispelled as we feasted our eyes
upon the rustic beauty of tire »j*ot
chosen as the picaicing place.
For natural soenery a prettier
spot could scarcely be found. The
t»old spring gushing from beneath
large rocks just at the foot oi the
mountain afforded a threefold de
light : its gentle murmurings steal
ing softly upon our senses, and,
for the time, at least; lulling all
our cures; the fresh ooolness it
gave the atmosphere, afforded re
freshment that was to us a boon,
aud as we drank ot its cooling wa
ters our appreciation of this foun
tain was complete.

refreshed by all those means of
“Mother Nature,” we were treated
to a very interesting talk by Mr.

The Alliance store lias had a

Loafers Club, which ho has been
holding down pretty successfully
of late. When Saturday or a rainy
day comes, a crowd gathers around
it and of all the yarns ever told,
some of their mates are spun here.
Such was the case the other
morning. The heavy rains bad
driven the farmer out of his fields
and into town.
The president of the club after
having the secretary to call the
roll found that Wilburn O’Neal
and Mart Crabtree had made them
selves very conspicuously absent
end after entering a fine, the mem

the}- had learned during life.

was sentenced for five years in ’BS
for burglarly, and was working as
a convict at the time he was in
jured. The bill sets forth that
Huso’s back was broken, both legs
paralyzed below the knees, and he
was permanently and painfully in
jured internally. Mayor Glenn and
Mr, R. Jordan represent the t'lain-
