in the cleaning after dinner, lessons in
the mysteries of "gobang' and chess,
have brought together less susceptible
hearts than those of Harry Crofton and
Lillian West, and the day before he was
returning to England he plucked up
courage. proposed. and to his delight,
was accepte1. The next morning, how
ever, just before starting home, Lillian
came up to him and said:

Crofton looked very mystifed, and
again shook his head.
"Oh, come now, Harry replied
Lillian, " it is not bit of use your try

you didn't put the advertisement in the

she drew from her card-case a small
newspaper cutting and handed it to
Crofton. 1t ran as follows:
WANTED A wIFE.-The advertiser, who is
strikingly handsome very accomplished, and
extremely rich, wishes to meet with young
lady with a view TO matrimony. She must be
good looking, amiable and accomplished. Ap-

The presidential race now going
on between Blaine and Cleveland
is becoming more and more heat
ed every day in the North and
West The indications are very
decidedly favorable to democrat
ic success and it will not be sur
prising if Cleveland is elected by
an overwhelming majority. The
charges of corruption being made
against Blaine are very damaging
and the probability is that he will
sink beneath the heavy load. The
election is now not a month off
and if Cleveland continues to gain
as he has done during the past
month there can be no doubt of
his final success. In the
meantime Cleveland remains in
his Office quietly attending to his
duties as governor of New Yolk,
while Blaine rides through the
country in a special train Of cars
engaged in public speech-mak-

The November Election.

On Wednesday of week after
next the election for President,
Vice-President and representa-
tives in Congress will be held. It
is the duty of every man in the
second Congressional district, and
in the State, to lay aside business
and go to the election precincts
and cast ballot for the man that
will best subserve the interests of
the commonwealth. 1t is every
mans duty and privilege to have
q voice in the election Of men to
public trust. While there is no
doubt Of Georgia giving her usual
democratic majority on that day,
it is well to be on guard and see
that all democratic candidates in
the State get such a majority as
will be impossible to overcome by
the best organized opposition.

st. John Sticks.

There appeared in the New
York Tribune, a few days since,
an open letter from several promi-
nent republicans, addressed to
Gov. St John, the prohibition
candidate for president. The
letter suggested that the prohibi-
bition presidential ticket be with
drawn from the race. The reason
for making this request was that
the candidacy of st. John was
hurtful to Blaine. st. John re-
piled to theirletter at some length,
meeting argument with argument
and stating positively that he was
in the field to stay. He severely
criticises the republican party and
his letter is regarded by many as
an excellent democratic document.

Mr.. j. G. Ellison, of Forsyth, has COW
for which he paid fifty dollars She gives
nearly four gallons of milk day. During
the past two months Mrs. Ellison has kept
a careful account of the sales of milk ard
butter. From October 6 to November s,
the sales amounted to @6. SO; and from
November 8, to December 3, $500 This
was done after taking enough milk and
butter for the use of family, which is not a
small one. The butter is sold in Forsyth
at twenty five cents pound.
The above paragraph we take
from an exchange, and it serves to
show what may be accomplished
in the way Of dairy farming. To
be sure the man who goes into
dairy farming as a business may
not expect TO rely upon his home
market absolutely for the sale Of
all his butter and milk product,
but it will be an easy matter for
him to effect such arrangements
in the cities for the sale of his
goods as will remunerate him
handsomely for all he can make. A
few good COWS, properly handled,
will make any man in Terrell
county independent in a few years,
to say nothing of the increased
value Of his herd from improved
breeding. It is cheering to know
that we have men Of enterprise
enough in the State to try it.

MORE ENTERPRISE.
An Ostrich Ranch Soon to be Located
Near the CITY,

Yesterday a GAZETTE representative
was told that MIR. j. X. Williams of
California was in the city, and that
the object of his visit was the orgasiza-
ton OF joint stock company for the
purpose of establishing an ostrich
ranch. Mr.. Williams was found and
furnished the scribe with the follow
ing dots relative to the enterprise /:
"In California" said the gentleman,
"the Frilanco breed is considered the
most valuable on account of their hardi-
hood, rapid growth and early
maturity. Besides, the tips and plumes
from this breed surpass anything yet
offered the public. They are more
durable. of brighter colors because
naturall, and much cheaper, as they
are sold, directly from the bird, without
passing through dyers' hands,

are grown in variegated colors ~
said the faberite. THAT'S exactly
what l mean. Oftentimes half-dozen
different colors are grown by the same
bird, and a prettier sight than a thou.

all the various shades and tints Of
plumage. would be hard 10 find. /
have dozen boxes of samples with
me to show what can be done, as don't
wish any one to take stock in the ven
ture until he is satisfied At the
solicitation of Mr.. Williams THE GA
zETTE man accompanied him to where
he had his samples at Malone, Waller
Il Co., and the sight that met his
astopished gaze beggars description.
Plumes and tips of every imaginable
color and shade were arranged in
boxes to produce the most happy effect.
and added so much to the already at
tractive appearance of the establish
ment that it seemed like the realiza-
ton of fairy dream. The samples
will remain on exhibition at this popu-
lar house for some days, and then
offered for sale very low. No one
should fail to see them.

How 1t Is Done.

Repeated mention has been made in
THE GAZETTE of the rapidly increas-
ing popularity of the leading brands of
fine cigars carried in stock by ]. M.
Brannon & Co. of New York, and the
reason why they are growing in public
iavor has been NJ often given. But
how they can compete successfully
with manufacturers is question not
understood by many, even among
those who handle their goods. JIM.
Brannon d Co. are backed by immense
capital, and by this means are enabled
to take advantage of the periodical de.
preston in the market and buy their
stock at.rates ruinous to manufacturers.
vi course many of their leading
brands are manufactured to order
at special rates, and in addi-
tion TO this special arrangement.
job lots are constantly taken In i'm a
manner which places them in the lead
among the largest cigar brokers of the
Union. When their mode of doing
business is understood, it Is easily seen
how they were able to revolu iionize
the cigar trade of Texas and turn the
tide Of business to different channel
MT. Brannon deserves special credit for
the manner In which the state has
been worked, and the future prospects
OF the firm grow brighter and brighter.

Unusually Polite,

Nothing tends more to make the sit
uation agreeable than to be surrounded
with polite attention. This character
istic is most prominent with the pas
senger train attendants of the Wabash
railroad, and has probably contributed
more than any other one feature to-
ward establishing the popularity of
this line. Then the accommodations
are the very best, and the through.car
system simply perfection. Leaving
81. Louis in the morning, after the ar.
rival OF all trains from the South. n
palace sleeper runs through to New
YORK, over the New York Central rail
road, without change, and there is an
elegant parlor car and free-chair car
FOR Chicago. In the evening there is
the only through sleeper TO Boston,
another one to New York, and the two
elegant sleepers and fire-chair car for
Chicago. Dining and buffet cars fur
nisll the finest meals and lunches. The
business men and tourists will not for
get these facts when going North and
East this season.
