\ 'tor eight months we have gotten
vut The News under many disad
vantages. But we'couldn’t do any
better, for we simply had nothing
to'work with, except some old worn
out type (and not half enough of
that) and 2n old press that ‘had
been out of date for fifty years.
We have worked on the press day
and night, and spent money on it,
trying to get it to print a clean pa
per, but to no avail.
We knew that the people of Jeff!
Davis county wis entitled to a het-l
ter paper than we were giving them,‘
but we were poor, and had to crawl
before we cou!d walk, and we are
happy to state that we have began
to walk a little, and have installed
in The News office a good, cy]ander'
press and a quan ity of new type,and.
when we get thoroughly straight
ched out we hope to give our!
récders o weekly paper second to
anne in the state. |
‘ Ifor two or threz months we did
{ifl' best to get the stoek-holders to
iect to see if they would assist us
1! getting a press that would print
adecent paper, and to assist us in
*tting some new tyvpe, but never
%xfild get o quorum together. So,

P;:“:%*_ B a 8 yaroal, cad we {rust
that our patrons will anpreciate our
gfforts in trying to give them a
good plain paper to read exch week
and will patronize it liberclly. Ou
gon, S. C. Fackler, who is "a first
elass job and newspaper printer,
fvill join us shortly, and we will both
pull for the best interest and up

Havan’t Attended A Fair in Macon in
30 Years. A
" Gee whiz-—-but don’t times ' fl_it

waars since we attended a State Fair
in Macon, Andit only seems a

Rime, and seeing the sights, bt
< We will spend a day or two at
“the Fair this fall if nothing prevents,
‘but the same chums will not "I)Q'

~: ‘However, we are quite suple yet,
“for an old man, and canenjoy Bing
“yille Street, and the little shows
“as well as we did in the long ago.
Of course there will be many from
“this section in attendance at the
- State Fair in Macon this fall; but
it seems to us like it would have
‘been a good idea for the managers
«of the Fair to have done a little ad
~vertising in the weekly papers
throughout the country within a
‘hundred and fifty miles of Macon,
Our opinion is, they would receive
‘many more exhibits---to say noth
ingabout the increase in attendance,
“if they would do alittle advertising
“in the weekly papers. |

~ Mr. o'Quina’s Trip to Tampa. |
Editor News--I am a little late in’
getting in but maybe your rende's
will find something in what T heve.
written about my trip that will in-j
terest them. |
On the Bth day of September I
left Hazlehurst, in company with
many others, on an excursion train
forcl‘ampn, and arrived at that eity
on the morning of the 9th «t 7:30.
Soon after our arrival tlee we
met a friend in the person of Rev.
E. J. Barber, a Baptist minister who
offered to take us to see the sights
of the city.
When we landed there we felt
like eating something, and dropped
in at a Chinese restaurant and eat
a hearty brea: fast. After break
fast we started out for sight-seeing.
We first went to the postoffice.
This is the finest building 1 ever saw.
It was made of granite. The next
was at a Catholiec church. This
church was built of marble with a
dome of gold. Oh, it was a beauti
ful structure.
Then to the court house (not for
any marriage license, however)Her:
we met the obliging clerk Mr. Chas.
Knott,who indlyshowed us throvel
the building.
Then to Ballast Park on the street
car. We passed the Tampa Bay
Hotel enroute, and we want to say
richt here, that this is the finest ho
tel I ever saw. It issurroundsd by
many acres of subtropical plants.
From Ballart Park we went to the
Curo, and viewed the curiosities of
Florida. From the Curo we went
to dinner, for noonday had arrived.
In the afternoon I was introduced
to a charming widow. I took her to
Sulpher Springs, and had the time
of my life. But oh, how I hated to
say good-bye. Of course I wil
make another trip to Tampa, 1
‘dread that long trip back to Tampa
feeling that possibly I would have
‘to say good-bye again. If I could
only persuade this lovely little wid
ow to ccme up and be the queen of
my homa2, and have her sweet l'ttle
girl to play with, I would be a very
happy man again.
We took in West Tampa where

only oae old chair in our sanctum--
:and this lone chair was minus a
bottom. One day recently, we got
extravagant and sent out and
bought a brand new chair, and just
to think, not a single visitor to this
office has said one word abont our
new chair. In fact, they haven’t
seemed to notice the wonderful im

of the entire office. Durn if we can

Muet of Them Went to Their Doom
Fighting, as Did Rome,
~ Most countries which have died
have gone down fighting, The Ro
man empire perished like that,
The empire of the west hecame
0o weak at last that it could make
no stand against its cno"ns. Rome
was sacked by the barllrinns und
eventually became not the capital
of a vast empire, but the city of the
popes, over which the pontiffs
reigned as kings. Finally the city
was taken without a real fight by
the soldiers of the king of Italy. I
The empire of the cast had itsi
capital at Constantinople. For cen
. turies it was the greatest power in
the world, But it became honey
combed with viee and enervated
with pride and luxury; also it grew
old and weak.
Then the Turks made a tigerish
gpring on Constantinople and took
it by storm. The last of the Greek
emperors died sword in hand, and

The great moguls used to reign
in India. In the days of Queen
Elizabeth the mogul, or emperor
of Delhi, as he was sometimes
called, was so powerful that he
thought it a vast condescension on
his part to receive an embassy from
the maiden-queen. » :
But as time went on the great
rajahs, or tributary kings. rebelled
against the moguls. India was
rent asunder by the wars hetween
rival rajuhs. This gave the Euro
neans a chance.
France at first held the upper
hand and nearly conquered the
sand. But then England drove
France back and seizéd the empire
of the great moguls for herself.

l A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
e mecling u.,‘.;_:f an Ambiticus
’ " Hunter and |..: First Grizzly.
In “Sketches of Life In the Goiden
State” Celonel Albert . Evaus_tells
|2O amusing anccdete of TT AL 15
'hlz_nggl: who met no fivst grizily ‘Bear
—fu preces.ion. The incident occurred
fn the woods near the site of the pres
ent town of Monterey,
The hunter sat @own to rest in the
gshade of a tree and unwittingly wen?
to sleep. ' When he wolke it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing bis
eves and contemplating a return to his
hotel, several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and cerackling
noise from a ciump of chaparral ahout
100 yards away attracted his atten
tion. Gt walked a grizzly bear, a
morarch of his kind. Tie yvawned,
licked his jaws and then advanced to
ward the tree where our hunter sat,
but evidently wag unconscious of his
presence,.
I{is grizzly majesty had preceeded
about twenty paces when a female
bear followed him, and an instant later
a third grizzly followed her at a slow,
shambling pace. J g
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession camne toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
thirty yards. Then, scarcely realizing
what “he did: he sprang to his feet
and uttered a frenzied yell—yell upon
vell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned ‘
sharp!y about, knocked the female
down. rolled over her. gathered him
self up and bolted “like forty cart loads
of rock going down a chute” straicht
for the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels and never
turning to see what haac :xghtened
them, .
The hunter, seeinz the encmy re
treating, sprang to his feet and fled
at top speed for the hotel. leaving hat ‘
| and gun behind. The truth of his wild
l and startling tale was proved the next l
‘day by the numerous bear tracks of
different sizes found in the marshy
'ground near by. But the three bears
had gone off beyond nursuit. 1

my love for her is so great that I
cannot be stopped by such consider

and conveniences. Abh, sir, will you

The old magnate seemed interest

unkindly.
Eagerly the guitor made a.nsw_er,,‘
