I heard a party of gentlemen discussing the reason why more wheat wtiH not grown in this ssetion. Sdid one, ‘wheat cannot be grownhere so as to make it pay. It has been tried and found to almost always a flat failure * ’ Acs,” said one of his listeners, thats the same old argument. But how do we know that we. cannot raise good wheat here. A farmer , will plant ii. wheat crop this year, I and make a partial fai lire.* Does he try it again next year? Not much. lie wont sow any more for several years. Now' again, a farmer plants a big cotton crop and fails. Does he quit? Not much. He goes ahead year after year planting cotton, and getting deeper and deeper in debt. That's just why wheat isn’t raised in North Geor gia, because they dont try.” “I think there is one subj’ect that should be agitated in Georgia, and at once,” said a gentleman to me. ‘‘And that is a uniformity of schoel books in every county in the State. Why I’ll tell you it is positively a I burden to a well to do man to buy school books, if he has several chil dren. And a poor man cant do it. Every county nearly has different text books, and if you move around much, the books your children use here, would be useless in other counties. And it isn’t confined to (that by any means, they are con- I stantly shifting and changing in 1 the same county. Do for the sake | of school patrons, lets have a uni , formity of school books through out the State.’ ’ The Tornado which comes to Noviu’s Opera house Monday night is doing aspendid business every I where they go, and the press is loud in praise of it. In New Or leans they had to turn people a vay at every performance, and the pa pers there spoke of them very highly, Remember they come Youday night. And next Tuesday night my friend Jim Nevm gets married. And candidly I never saw any fellow happier rverths proe -1 pect than Jim. He goes from early mdrn to dewy eve with just the brightest happiest smile (almost a grin) <>u his countenance you ever saw. After the marriage Jim and his fair young bride are going i take an iudefiuit |kind of a trip through the 'Vest. In Jim’s own words, “we are just going where we want to, stop where we please, and when we get tired of that we’re coming h< me.” Jim Nevin’s going to succeed in this world too.

Johnnie Mickle is in deep ami spul-harrowingtrouble. He doesn't dare go home until a certain dog is found. It all comes about this way. Readers of this paper will remem-- her the famous dog “Pills” that I elonged to Gus Johnson. Well Gus gave that dog to Mickle’s bright and precious boy, Milt, who is some three or four years old. Milt re-christened the pup “Gus” in honor of the donor, but he was most affectionately known as “Gus sie”. That dog and Milt were in operable up t* a day or so ago. Now “Gussie” has disappeared, and the boy is inconsolable in his grief. Mickle has beea making a desperate and far reaching search for the “purp” but so far his ef fort have been fruitless.

Anderson, Ind., Nov. 14.—One saddest incidents of the pres ent black diphtheria scourge in the Indiana gas belt was placed on record today, when Martin J. Wat son, of this city, buried the last one of a family of five, which one month ago was in good health. It was an eleven-year-old son to day, and he was laid by the side of the mother aud sisters, who had just b'en consigned to the earth. The contagion is still rampant, and the situation is a grave one. About half the cases are fatal. Lase Pence Discouraged. Denver, Colo., November 14. Congressman Lase Pence, defeated candidate for re-election, said last night nt a Populist meeting that he would venture the prediction that ne hill for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would come out of a committee under ( Tom Reed's leadership in the uext ( CUngress. ‘ ‘There is left one solitary chance ’ in this century for free coinage,” he continued. “There are yet three r months left, and thank God, Bry ’ ar. and Dick Bland are not retired r for that time. (Applause.) In a few days I will go to fill out the term for which you commissioned ( me by your unbought votes. The C plans we now have under consider ation mav possibly bring about some relief. Unless between now and the clese of this Congress I something can be done for silver, I read no signs in the skies that in- J dicate silver will take a forward step in this country.” , Died of A Broken Heart. 1 Newark.
