2 COTTON STILL COMING IN ROME’S TOTAL RECEIPTS TO DATE ARE 40,034 BALES. SEiEBALTHOUSAHDSHORT OF PAST YEARS No Farm Work Done Yet and Little Talk of Cotton [Acreage Now. Wheat Doing Finely. Cotton is still coming into this market at the rate of 700 to 800 bales per week. The estimate of 50,000 bales for the season will not fall far short of the actual figures. Considerable of the stable now coming to Rome is by boat from Gadsden and points below there. The receipts for the past two weeks were 1,716 bales, against 2,604 bales corresponding two weeks last year, 2,215 bales the year before, 873 bales three years ago and 728 bales the year previous. Total to date, 40,034 bales, against 47,169 bales same time last year,' 56,528 bales the year before, 57,003 bales the year previous and 46,374 bales four years ago. Stock on hand, 4,282 bales against 5,685 bales a year ago, 5,327 bales two years ago, 3,230 bales the year before and 6,941 bales four years ago. As will be noticed, stock shows de pletion, shipments forexport having been on a liberal scale,' particularly so considering the season of the year. In fact, export business, prior to the new year, was exceedingly small as compared to any previous season. Local and nearby mills appear to be well supplied, and the outlet for cotton from now will probably be largely export. Practically nothing has been done as yet toward farming and the discus sion of cotton acreage has scarcely commenced. Trade in commercial fertilizers has been on a liberal scale. The freeze some weeks ago, it is wheat grain. The pro#-, pect for the grain crop just now is iljost promising.

The little 3-year-old daughter of one of the leading ministers in Little Rock resents too great familiarity. One evening, though she seemed a little un willing, a young man, who was call ing, took her upon his lap, whereupon she said, with great gravity: “I want to sit in my own lap.” It is needless to add that the young man immediately put her down. i 1 “Something Hot,” D’Orsay was at a dinner at Disraeli’s, which was not of a kind to suit the fashionable gourmet and where every thing had been cold.

I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases, Eczema. I tried some of the best physicians in the country, but they did me t little good. The palms of my hands were cov ered, and would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire, and itch; well, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs, great red blotches, not unlike hives, would appear, and as soon as I became warm, the burning and itching would begin. Night after night I would lie awake all night and scratch and almost go wild. I got a box of Cuticura Ointment, a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and gave them a thorough trial, and after a few applications I noticed the red ness and inflammation disappear; before I had used one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that §2.00 worth of Cuticura Remedies cured me. J- D. PORTE, 428 4th Ave., Pittsburg, Pa.

From all indications Georgia will thig year make a record as a wheat growing state, that her people will be proud of. For several weeks past information hag been coming to the agricultural depart ment from almost every* section of the state going to show that the people have determined to raise more wheat than ever, and have planted accord ingly. Colonel R. F. Wright of the agricult ural department, in an interview in the Macon Telegraph, says the whole state is becoming stirred up on the subject of small grain crops, and that he attrib utes the increasing interest in this branch of agriculture to the constant and persistent efforts to show the farm ers the necessity of raising more wheat, oats and other fall crops. Articles urging the planting of more wheat, which have from time to time appeared in publications sent out from the department of agriculture, have been reprinted in many agricultural publica tions and some of these publications have been reprinted in agricultural monthlies which have extensive circu lations in Georgia and adjoining states. The increase in the acreage of wheat and the fact that the farmers have se lected some of their best land for wheat and oats this year, has a significance which is of interest at this time. It points to the fact that as the acreage of wheat has been increased on lands here tofore planted in cotton, the acreage of cotton will be decreased this year, ow ing to the fact that this very land is growing wheat and oat crops, which in many instances will not be gathered in time for the same land to be used for cotton. Should it happen that the winter sea son should kill these crops, then these lands will no doubt be plowed up and put in cotton. But this is believed to be hardly probable, as the indications are at present and the chances are that the state of Georgia will gather an un usually large crop of wheat next spring. ■ f'ihgEFh % Colic, Aeuraigisnn i 1 ' ’’ ’ in five minutes. m-u. . >'* t'anvaisr comnbMntt .'■.•ls tl .-i For a good smoke try the Contentnea cigar, manufac tured by Thomas Waiters.

Ha sS n FRUIT MEN ARE ANXIOUS WATCH EVERY CHANGE OF THE WEATHER WITH APPREHENSION DON’T LIKE WARM SUHSHIHY DAYS Loss of Crop This Year Following Total Failure Last Year, Would Be a Calamity to This Section. The weather just now is beautiful, and the common run of humanity delight in it. But there is one class who do not. It is the fruit growers. When a “spell” of warm, sunshiny weather comes at this season of the year fruit men become nervous and apprehen sive. They know that it takes only a few r days of such atmospheric con ditions to coax the tender peach buds into throbing life. They know, too, that cold winds and nipping frosts are inevitable be tween now and May, and that the soft young buds and blooms would fall easy victims to the cruel cold. me louil A4UIUXV v/x last year worked a great Hardship and severe loss on fruit men of North Georgia, and the entire south, as for that matter. The loss of the crop this year would be little short of a calamity. Thousands of acres in Floyd and surrounding counties are planted in peach tress, principally the glorious Elbertas, and for many it is an ex clusive industry. To have all killed again would be a sad blow to this section. Os course, the disaster has not yet arrived, and it will be the sincere wish of every one that it will not do so. But from now until near May 1, the fruit men will be on pins at every change of the weather. The prospect just now is very bright, and if a good peach crop is made in this section, the growers will be in clover. Large orchards will bear this year for time, and the quality of fruit will probably be very fine. Waiting to Be Eaten. The wasp is not a vegetarian, like the bee, and so the wasp mother has be fore her the problem of supporting her young with meat. As her eggs are laid out in hot weather and as food enough must be stored in the cell with the egg to mature the young insects, the ques tion is how to preserve the meat fresh for so long a time. After a tube is finished except one end, which is left open, she flies off on a hunt for spiders. She finds a fat, healthy one, pounces upon it, stings it, carries it off and places it in the mud cell. She repeats this process until she has placed as many spiders in the tube as, according to her judgment, will be needed. She then lays an egg in the cell and walls up the opening. Whether it is the result of a subtle poison or whether it is a special spot in the spider’s nervous system where the sting is inserted we do not know, but certain it is that after being thus stung the spider lives on in a paralyzed condition for weeks .and even months. It can move only sligimy ancr remafus helpless in its mud sepulcher until the wasp egg hatches into a voracious grub, which at once falls to and eats with great relish the meat thus miracu lously preserved. Whether the spider can feel pain in this paralyzed state is not known, but it certainly retains its sight and so watches the wasp grub growing, and a spider’s natural fear of a wasp would* cause ample suffering to atone for its own onslaught on flies.

It is commonly understood that one of the newspapers of New York city has a rule to employ none but college graduates on its staff. It may or it may not be true. Nevertheless a young man of good address, bringing with him excellent recommendations and equipped for journalistic work by sev eral years’ experience, called one day at the editorial office of that paper. He made so good an impression that the managing editor was about to as sign him a place on the staff when, as if remembering something he had over looked in examining the applicant, he suddenly asked: “By the way, of what college or uni versity are you a graduate?” “I am not a graduate of any,” replied the young man, “but I know better than to write ‘pants’ for ‘trousers,’ ‘plead’ for ‘pleaded’ and ‘he was given a chance’ for ‘a chance was given him.’ I never use the phrase ‘in our midst.’ I understand the correct use of ‘who’ and ‘whom’ and of ‘shall’ and ‘will.’ I prefer ‘officer’ to ‘official,’ ‘dwelling’ to ‘residence.’ I avoid ‘as to whether,’ abhor ‘reportorial,’ never split an in finitive and never write a sentence long enough to tie in a double bow knot.” He got the position.—Fourth Estate.
