STATE FAIR.

The Georgia State Fair begins in
Macon on October 26, and will con-
tinue one week. The indications
are that it will be the most success
tul State fair ever held in Georgia
in the matters of exhibit and attend
ance. The people seem to be more
deeply interested in it than in any
previous lair, and the people in every
part of the State seem to be bending
their energy toward making it an
exhibition of the resources of Geor-
gia and her progress in the arts, in
mechanism, in agriculture, in stock
and in all material things. The sum
of nine thousand dollars is offered in
cash premiums, list of which will be
sent toany address on application
to Secretary E. c. Grier, Macon, Ga.
Macon boasts of the finest park and
fair ground in the South, and there
every arrangement and convenience
for making a display to the best adj
vantage.

upon the golden head. eyes, dear,
you shall have mamma one of these
days, one of the beautiful, distant
days when God in his goodness shall
give the child back to it's mother,
and the mother to her child. Hush,
darling, hush. Mamma is waiting
for you way up beyond the shining
stars, and you shall go to her, dear,
when God has made you ready tor
the change.
And so they soothed little Grace,
and sang to her, and the boys brought
out their play things for her, and all
were so good and gentle to her that
for time she forgot the soreness in
her little bosom and was happy.
But that night after the golden
head had sunk YEARLY to rest, and
the tiny white robed form lay still in
the crib that had been found for it,
the beautiful lady's eyes again over
flowed as a tremulous sob reached
her ear, and in her sleep little Grace
again murmured her baby petition:
90 bod, want my mamma !"

EATS 5000 LEMONS A YEAR.

Otto Fullgraff, NJ. d., contributes
the following to the New York Even
ing Post:
A paragraph in the Evening Post
of August Goth, referring to the doc
trine of that noted German physician,
DR.. Wilhelm SchmOele, that he who
eats lemons in sufficient abundance
need never die, inspires me to give
my personal experience of the health
fulness of lemon juice in the shape
Of lemonade, particularly for those
persons who are subject to frequent
bilious arrangements resulting in
dizziness, yellow complexion and So
called ''liver spots" on the skin. In
1875 | began drinking lemonade reg
ularly, taking the entire juice of two
or three lemons at a time in an Or
binary goblet of water, with small
teaspoonful of sugar for each lemon,
afterward rinsing my mouth with
clear water to remove the acid and
sugar from my teeth and gums.
With rare exceptions, | have now
taken lemonade in this way four
times daily for ten years-on rising
morning, about l o clock p. M, half
an hour before dinner, and one on
retiring at night; and whenever pro-
fessonal duties prevented it, | have
felt at once the absence of the lem
onade in my system. | take only
two meals daily, but consume be-
sides a considerable quantity of fruits
of the season, such as grapes, peach
es, oranges, melons, etc. | have no
taste for and do not use ale, porter,
wine or spirits. Formerly my ordi-
nary weight was $50 pounds, my
height being, as now, ) feet u inch
es. For six or eight years past [
have weighed in the neighborhood of
1870 pounds without feeling any in
convenience. The coating of my
stomach is unimpaired, my step is
quick and firm, and | have the vi
gor of youth. During the a years
Of my residence in New York | have
not been out of the city altogether
more than six months, and have been
in uninterrupted, active practice for
over thirty years. For twelve
months past | have INDUCED freely
in surf bathing in the season, usual
" at Coney Island. My head is not
bald and there is but little gray in
my hair. | am stronger, both physi-
cally and mentally, than | was TWEEN
ty years ago, and | am taken by
everybody to be ten or fifteen years
younger than am.

HE WAS A DEMOCRAT.

At a railroad town in Georgia there
was an old negro whose business was
to carry trunks from the depot to the
hotel. He always met Mr.. Stephens
and took charge of his baggage. The
negro had voted the Democratic tick
ct ever since he became a voter. One
day Mr.. Stephens said to him;
Joe, | understand you always vote
the Democratic ticket"
Il does dat, Mars Stephens" was
old Joe's reply,
"Do you know of any difference
between the parties 2

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

A Texas judge showed considerable
unwlllingness to grant a man a di-
vorce. The judge said to the appli-
cant:
"(ehect for a moment that your
wife with all her faults has her good
qualities, and that by mutual con-
cession you may be able to get along
very well together
The applicant for divorce seemed
to be very much moved by what the
judge said, and the latter began to
fatter himself that he had carried his
point. At last the man said =
"Your Honor is not married,
believe" mo, am widower."
"Well then, judge, suppose you
grant me a divorce from this woman,
and then marry her yourself, and
see if you can stand her devilish tenn
per-"
The judge begged leave respectful
ly to decline.
"Yes,' responded the applicant,
scornfully, you are mighty kind
prescribing medicine for other peo-
pie, but you don't care to try dose
of it yourself"

USE AND ABUSE OF CREDIT.

1t is said that credit is the basis OF
business. This is probably true when
the saying is applied to large business
transactions. Credit, however, ruins
more people than it benefits. Many
merchants who would have succeed
ed in life have been bankrupted be-
cause they had too much credit.
People with very limited incomes are
encouraged to open accounts and
have charged to them anything and
everything.
They live beyond their income be-
cause they are given credit. When
they can no longer get credit in one
store they go to another. 1t is as
tonishing how merchants allow such
credits. The buyers of this class
may pay at first, but eventually they
become bankrupt in pocket, and f.
nally bankrupt in principle. They
wear out their lives in inventing new
lies by which to put off the collector,
and probably at last leave the city in
order to escape from their creditors.
The merchant who encourages this
kind of trade loses his goods and his
money, and must make up the loss
by charging more than a just and
fair profit upon goods sold to those
who live economically, and buy only
what they can pay for; or, if he is
too honest to do that, he becomes a
bankrupt and Injuries those who trust
him. Asking credit is a habit which
grows rapidly, and after awhile pco-
pie who have money in their pockets
want paper of pins or pound OF
crackers charged to them. OF course,
if it is refused, they are insulted.
The system has spread to the news
papers. People who ought to know
better want scent paper, or a 10
cent advertisement charged to them.
Instead of making black list of
dead BEATS storekeepers should
avoid making dead beats" by en-
couraging people to buy for cash.
Let retail merchants take steps to
abolish the ruinous credit system.
Such a move would save many loss
es, and, at the same time, make goods
cheaper, and all concerned more hon
est. The debtor class would be ben
Gifted by cheaper goods and clearer
consciences. They would not be
haunted by visions of unpaid debts
numbering sleep" and importunate
collectors dunning them in their wax
ing hours.-,Sayonnah Ne,cs.

ROBBING THE POOR.

A farmer living at Niagara Falls.
In New York state, raises large crops
of wheat. His neighbor, just across
the river, in Canada, manufactures
clothing and other wooden goods.
They visit each other and are quite
intimate. The New Yorker con-
cludes to trade supply of wheat to
the Canadian for clothing for his
family. The trade suits both par
ties. The New Yorker has more
wheat than his own family needs and
his neighbor has a surplus of cloth
ing, so an exchange suits them ex-
actly and trade is made. The New
Yorker gets $50 worth of clothing,
but when he attempts to bring the
goods across the river to his own
house, he is stopped by a custom
house officer, who asks
''Where did you get those goods ?"
'From my neighbor just across the
river, sir"
well, sir, you must pay tax of
$50 more before you can take them
home"
What's that for p

New York side will charge me 500.
The factory is rich and | cannot af-
ford to throw away $50 of my hard
earned money to make it that much
richer"
''That may be true, but the law
compels us to arrest you if you try
to take your Canada goods home
without paying the $50 extra"
But protests the farmer, II

the officer.

HOW TO REAR CHILDREN.
Treat them kindly.

Treat them kindly.
Don't preach politeness and pro-
priety to them, and violate their laws
yourself. In other words, let the
example you set them be a good
one.
Never quarrel in their presence.
1t you want to quarrel, wait until
the children are gone to bed. Then
they will not see you, and perhaps
by that time you may not want to
quarrel.
Never talk cold folks" talk in the
presence of children.
Never speak hippantly of neigh
bors before children. They may
meet the neighbors' children, and
have Il talk about it.
Teach them to think that the lit
tie boy in rags has heart in him in
spite Of the rags-and a stomach,
too.
Teach them, as they grow older,
that respectful demeanor to others,
a gentle tone of voice, kind DISPOSE
ton, generous nature, an honest
purpose and an Industrious mind are
better than anything else on earth
Teach them these things and self-re
lance and intelligence and capabili
ty will come of themselves. Teacf
them these things and your boys anC
girls will grow up to be noble men
and women.

The Can1bri171, the monthly magazine
published by D. I. Jones, at Cincinnati,
has in the last issue an interesting article
on "The First Welsh Settlers of Mime
sota," by Thomas Hughes Esq, of Man
kato. Speaking of a colony which he
styles "The Jackson Colony" and which
went to that State in 1856, he says:
This settlement, known as the Big
Woods, is about three miles broad, and
extends about five miles in length along
the boundary line, east and west, between
the towns of Saron and Cleveland. Among
those of the colony. who settled there,
were: Edward Morris, Thos. J. Jones,
John Jones (sadler), David E. Evans,
Evan Jones, David and Lewis Hughes
David Lloyd, VIM. Jones, Evan T. Jones,
and Evan Griffiths. Edward Morris, Esq,
who had been the Moses of this Jackson
exodus, remained in the new settlement,
however, only few weeks, when, hur-
riedly, packing his baggage, he returned
with his family post haste to their old
home in Oak Hill, Ohio. The cause of
his sudden departure it is said were the
mosquitoes, which, though they belonged
not to the sons of Anec, were to the early
settler fully as formidable.
Among the families from Jackson Coun-
ty who purchased homes near Minnesota
creek, he gives the names of Evan Will
liams. Thomas J. Jones, (cooperO Isaac
Woods and John l. Jones. AS to the re-
ligious views of the Jackson people, the
writer says they were almost exclusively
Calvinistic Methodists, having originally
come from Llangeitho Cardiganshire.
The First Church of this denomination
in Blue Earth County, was organized by
Rev. Richard Davis. 1t was called "Ho-
reb," after the Horeb Church in Jackson
County, to which many of it's people be-
longed. Further on, speaking of Church
life in those days, the writer says:
According to the custom of the Calvin
istic Methodist Society, the three Church
es of "Seion," "Horeb," and "Saron" were
united into one conference, and eleven
Elders were admitted: from "Seion," five
namely-Evan 81. Evans, Evan Evans,
(Pant0 Edward Thomas, ST., Thos. J,
Jones, (Poples0 and John I. Jones; from
.1Horeb." three, namely-David P. Davis,
John walters and John Shields from "Sa-
ron" three, namely-Evan Griffiths, Thos.
j. Jones, and Edward Evans In the
morning of the second day, short address
es were made on the theme of Gospel
Rites" by several of the brethren.
