Notes From Meeting Room and Fielt

Notes From Meeting Room and Field
of Interest to Farmers.
The alliances of Washington county will
meet at Sandersville Nov. 90.
Dixie alliance of Brooks county, at a
recent meeting, took decided stand against
adopting a trade store.
There will be meeting Of the Brooks
county alliance in Quitman on Nov. 90, for
the purpose of getting in proper shape the
bank enterprise, and for other purposes.
j. w. Beck, state lecturer of the farmers
alliance, will address the people of Wash
ington county Wednesday at Tennille
Hon. Thomas E. Watson of Thomson will
also speak at the same time and place.
John d. Rowan Of McDonough made 600
bushels of sweet potatoes on an acre and
dug them in August. 1t is estimated that
IL he had let them take the later rains and
fully mature that they would have made
100 bushels more.
A. D. Martin of Hampton on a one-horse
crop made IA bales of cotton, weighing 500
pounds each; 200 bushels of potatoes, l4O
gallons sorghum, 60 gallons ribbon cane
syrup and 125 bushels of corn. On a fiye-
mule crop he made 81 bales of cotton.
An audience of several hundred citizens
attended the public meeting of the alliance
OF Bibb county at the court house at Macon
Saturday, and listened attentively for an
hour to the address of Rev. j. w. Beck.

Capt W. p Manly of Atlanta has re-
ceived letter from a friend IN the west,
giving an account Of the atrocious murder
of Detective James r. OdOm, who is we'll
known in Georgia. During last month be
started 10 Mexico from Birmingham, Ala.
and had S50, 600 or $4,000 in cash in his
possession. He placed the money in a small
hand-sachel, saying that no one would sus-
pect that he had SO much with him. On
Get 8, lust after he had crossed the Rio
Grande, from FL Paso, Tex, he was way
laid by a Mexican border roober and shot
dad There were several companions near
by, and one Of tnem heard the shot and ran
to MS assistance. He arrived just in time
TO see the robber grab the sachel and run
for dear life. The detective had received
his death wound, and only spoke few
words about his mother before he breathed
his last. His mother lives near Palmetto.

admitted the accuracy Of the premise.
This Is an age of bicycle riding" be said,
and for that reason IL is an age of gro
tesquely abnormal development. Many of
the men who can spin along on the wheel
are OF puny, scraggy shape, as far down
as the waist, while their hips and calves
are OF prodigious breadth and
corresponding shapelessness. Twenty
five years hence as result of
the growth Of the cycling habit and the
heritage Of wheel-riding parents, the typi-
cal American will consist of Lilliputian
BODY resting on a pair Of Gulliver's legs.
blcycle riding Is excellent for the muscles
out It Is fatal to grace and beauty Of limb.
II tends TO convert gentle and altogether
narmiels calf into a mighty, muscular bull
lock. An Informed youth who desires TO
become an Apollo can't attain his end
through physical training. This will
strengthen, bat not bsautify. He has only
one hope, aud that lies in-pacding."
REMEDY LIES IN PADDING.
1T Is idle to deplore the deterioration of
the lower limb" said another physician
who has made lifelong study of the hu-
man frame. "Nineteenth century fashion
aoles could inaugurate knickerbocker or
doublet and hose era with quite as much
proprlety as their ancestors. Well-rounded
limbs are not abundant now, but neither

nine-tenths of Qneen Bess' grandees
mad padded calves, l warrant, and
in later age l don't at all believe that
truthful George Washington and philoso-
phical Ben Franklin hesitated to fatten
their calves with artificial fodder The
bland and smiling noblemen of a past age,
as we can see them depicted in old paintings
aud prints, are invariably endowed with
the sleekest, smoothest and most neatly
turned legs that the mind can conceive.
but In nearly every case they ara impossi-
blelegs. If Lord Raleigh, for instance, pos
sessed the pair of limbs with which his
portraits credit him he must have been feeble
and weakened 10 a degree For while his
knees may appear soft and round and beau
tlful from an artistic standpoint, 10 an
anatoinlst they are only ludicrous. They
could pever in the world serve as continual
props for sturdy body. the old masters
were impelled to provide their subjects
with ornately modelled legs for the purpose
of fiattery. Their subtle brush could easily
convert walking-stick into a gently
undulating piece Of stockinged flesh, and
hence we never see poor leg in their pro-
ductions. Had there been instantaneous
photographers in those days their pictures
would have told a very different tale.
NO OCCASION FOR ENVY.
It's butte unnecessary to envy our ances-
tors. Their gilded youth must have had
the same heartburnings over their
misshapes calves as worry this nine
teenth century successors. But with them,
as with us, the eternal panacea lay in pad
ding. BY this means gaunt conglomeration
of skin and bone was nodded into perfect
form, and in this inventive age there is still
greater hope for the scrawny-legged disci-
pie of fashion,
