Tombstone Inscriptions. There ore very many peculiar in scriptions on tombstones in the grave yards of this country. Some of them are short, but surely they do “speak the truth.” In a cemetery in a certain city ap pears on a headstone this: “He’s gone! We'll follow. When? Oh, where? Presumptions man, 'tis well These questions to forego; For he who knows won't tell, And he who tells don’t know.” In another place is a simple stone, with name, born—, died, etc. Then follows this statement: “It was a cough That took him ofl; It was a coffin They took him off in.” BOLTON DOTS.

Many Representative Citizens Announce Their Candidacy. The municipal campaign has started off auspiciously, and the contest prom ises to be interesting. It is noteworthy that the candidates who have entered the race up to date are all solid, representative citizens, and are worthy of any honor that may be bestowed upon them. One of these gentlemen we have in mind—Mr. W. M. Terry, candidate for council from the Fourth ward. Mr. Terry is an out and out true At lantian; is thoroughly identified with the city and our people. He came here twenty years ago with less than two hundred dollars in his pocket, es tablished a small grocery business, and, by dint of hard work, thrift and energy, he has been phenomenally suc cessful. From a small beginning his business grow rapidly until t>day he is con ducting a large wholesale trade, and is rated up in the hundred thousands. To such men as Mr. Terry, Atlanta owes her progress and prosperity, and it is needless to say that should his fellow citizens honor him with a seat in council, he will carry into that body his well known energy and persever ance, doing his duty with an eye sin gle to the welfare of his constituents in particular and to the whole city in general.

ANTI TRUST MEETING Distinguished Delegates Attend Convention In Chicago. “DOWN WITH MONOPOLY” THE SLOGAN Texas Delegate Kali vena llaeting Ry His Fierce Onslaught AffiUaat the Trusts aad Combln«tl»Mi. The Civic Federation conferences on the uses and abuses of trusts and combinations began at Chicago Wed nesday with less than half the dele gates appointed by the various states in attendance. New York, headed by W. Bonrke Cockran, and Wisconsin were most numerously represented. The meeting took place in Central music hall and was called to order by Franklin H. Head, president of the Civic Federation. The delegates lis tened to an address of welcome to Illi nois by Attorney General Akin on be half of Governor Tanner, who by ill ness was prevented from appearing in person. With the progress of the speaking it became evident that maty of the del egations had come with firm convic tions for or against trade combina tions. The speech of Mr. Wooten, of Texas, delivered during the afternoon, hammering tha trusts in merciless manner, aroused the wildest enthusi asm in the ranks of the labor repre sentatives and ths delegations from many western and southern states, while the easterners generally smiled .critically. Mr. Wooten was frequently inter rupted by cheering and was rapturous ly received by his fellow delegates from the Lone Star state upon the completion of his peroration. He said in part: “Accepting in good faith that amendment which the heroic legions of the south resisted unto death on a thousand battle fields, we be lieve that ‘neither slavery nor invol untary servitude, except as punish ment for crime, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.’ And we confi dently assert that the commercial and industrial bondage being rapidly im posed upon the toil and talents of 70,- 000,000 American citizens by the syn dicated wealth of a few corporate mo nopolies is more dire aad dangerous than the slavery which bowed the Leads and burdened the backs of 4,000,000 southern blaek men. “And above and beyond these great written guarantees of equality and justice, we look to the lessons of history and appeal to the authority of existence. When we are told that the spirit of commercial combination promises golden rewards to the pres ent tendencies of our economic system, we remember that »o republic has ever survived the mercenary despotism of merchants and money changers.” Mr. William Fortune, of Indianapo lis, president of the Indiana state board of commerce, made an earnest plea for conservative procedure as a more hopeful course than the applica tion of revolutionary or too radical measures to an evolutionary problem. He indicated a grave doubt of the use fulness of the doctrinaire in arriving at a radical solution of the question. He guardedly suggested the danger capital may bring to itself by heedless abuse of its power and indicated the importance to it of seeking proper reg ulations which will make trust meth ods acceptable rather than obnoxious to the people by whose permission and toleration only can their existence con tinue. The committee on permanent or ganization met after the afternoon ad journment of the conference. The committee, consisting of one delegate from each state represented and each organization of general scope, was, in part, as follows: Texas, Hon. A. B. Davidson; Flor ida, John Franklin Forbes; West Vir ginia, J. B. Harris; South Carolina, B. C. Kaufman; Mississippi, J. W. Culver; Louisiana, W. W. Howe. A programme for Thursday was pre sented and adopted. It was the inten tion to have W. Bourke Cochran talk Thursday night, but he objected to the arrangement and expressed a de sire to speak Friday evening, follow ing W. J. Bryan. FRENCH CABINET ACTS.

Three lots, 50x150 feet each, alto gether being Nos. 14, 15 aud 16, on Mt. Zion avenue, in the village of Mt. Zion, Carroll county, Ga. One lot, No, 114, in block 17, in Montrose Park, Montrose county Col orado. Six acres on Satterfield Ford road, 5 miles from Greenville, in Greenville county, S. C. Three lots at Montreal, on G. C. & N. railroad, DeKalb county, Ga. One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of Violet avenue, Atlanta, Ga. 1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up land, in Screven county, Ga. This is a fine place, divided by the Georgia Central railroad. 50 miles from Savan nah. Railroad station on the place; good location for country store. Splendid situation for factory for staves and cooperage works. Enough good tim ber on the hammock land to pay for the place three or four times over. Investors are invited to examine this place. 1.149 acres on west bank of Savan nah river, in Effingham county, Ga., grant of 1784, and descent of title to present owner. 1.150 acres on Satilla river, in Cam dem county, Ga., grant from state, aud deeds on record for 100 years back. Good title, by descent to pres ent owner. 1,150 acres on St. Mary’s river, in Camden county, Ga. Grant and deeds on record 100 years back. Good title, by descent to present owner. 430 acres on west bank of Savannah river, in Screven county, Ga. Deeds on record since 1827. Good title, by descent to present owner. All of these lands arc available for agriculture, stock raising, mining, or timbers. Some few of the lots in north Georgia are in the hills, but they have the advantage of being sit uated in the finest section of country for minerals. Several of these lots have been examined, or, as the essay ists and miners would say, have been prospected, aud found to bear fine de posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and marble. The state of Georgia is de veloping some of the finest mineral resources in this country, in coal, co rundum, gold, silver, copper, man ganese, and other minerals, and marble, a>so a variety of the finest timbers for all sorts of manufactures of wooden wares and furniture. The state is noted for its salubrious climate, and its remarkable adaptability for all kindz of agricultural products, fruits and vegetables. Some of these lauds, now offered, arc as fine as any in the world for fruits and cereals. A prominent real estate journal, the “American Land and Title Register,” recently used a paragraph under the head of “Investments and Specula tions,” and it impresses me as being so appropriate, that I quote it here as follows: “Real estate is the thing, above all others, that furnishes a field for investment that is absolutely safe ’nd profit bearing. It is the material interest itself, and it cannot bo de stroyed by bad management, extrava gant methods, competition, casualty, dishonesty in management or legisla tion. Its value cannot be depressed by any of these causes. Investments in real estate, judiciously made, can not fail to be profitable. If you want to get rich, buy real estate and know what you are getting; if you want to gamble, buy stocks and let some one else know what they are giving you.” I desire to sell these lands as soon as possible, and they must go at low prices, very low for cash, or on easy terms and long time with 5 per cent interest, as purchasers may desire and prefer. Persons desirous of investing money for future profits by enhance ments should examine these offers at once. I have other lands, which I will sell on good terms aud low prices, i In writing for information about any of these lands, refer to them by the number, district, section and county, and enclose two stamps, 4 cents, for reply.

One Year §I.OO Six Months 50 Three Months 30 One Month 12 408 “The Grand”—Office of “The Georgia Record,” Atlanta, Georgia.

We are particularly desirous of having your name on our list as a regular subscriber and reader, and as a helper in our progress and improvement. We are planning to make it a first-class journal of the times, or, ns its name imports, we wish to make it “The Georgia Record” of all notable persons or noteworthy events. In order to ac complish our purpose, it is necessary for our patrons to aid us in a substan tial way, and so it becomes essential to have subscriptions paid up in ad vance, or ns closely as possible, for the mutual benefit of subscriber and pub lisher. Our subscription price is very small, simply about the cost of the paper. If we can have it in advance we certainly can apply it for better ad vantage than if we have to vait for it some time. Os course the small sum of one subscription can be paid by you as well at one time as another. To yon it is a small item. In the aggre gate the matter is important to the publisher. One subscription may be merely a mite. One thousand may be mighty or much to the progressive de velopment of the newspaper. Os course tho mutual advantage of ad vance payment of your subscription will be obvious to you on a moment’s consideration. You are now respectfully requested to let us have your subscription money by return mail, or otherwise as may be convenient to you, as early as practi cable. Will you not be pleased to re mit the price for one year,—one dol lar? Os course for a shorter time, if you prefer it, but a year will be the better for both of us. If it is not con venient for you to remit, just write us a few words on a postal card to call on you, and we will appear before you very soon. We feel confident that a trial of subscription will so interest you, that you will continue to be n regular sub scriber. Please respond promptly. Very Cordially Yours, Robert L.
