A curious incident delayed Lowells

one word, she received such vitality, if one
may so speak, that she was a new person.
The physicians were delighted with the re

told Mr. Lowell that no difficulty would

An American officer who went through

He became intimate with two German
officers, one of whom was grave, elderly

perience in his profession. His knowled sc
of military tactics made him an authority
in his regiment; all disputed points We're
referred to him by his brother officers for
decision.
The other, who was II gay young fellow,
fond of cards and dancing, held a higher
rank in the corps.
The American one day commented indig
nantly on this fact to the older man.

pers are in the forefront of advance
ment. They are the life of the com
lnunity. They must lead in every eff
fort to invite capital, enlarge industries
and enthuse the people in the use of
their advantages.
The local newspaper is the one news
paper that should command the patron
age of the community. If only one jour
nal can be taken III family it should
be the one published at home. There is
now little excuse for any person of ordi-
nary intelligence not taking city daily
with the local newspapers, since the best

should ever be the heartiest accord and

Ii Is INDISPENSABLE.

In olden times newspapers were consld-
cred valuable to readers only for their
news, and advertisements were mere in
cidental surplusage, inserted by mer-
chants as a sort of charity to help fill up
the paper, and rarely attracted attention.
Today the newspaper is Indispensable,
not only to the merchant but to the
shoppers Of the family as the universally
accepted medium of attracting business.
Advertisements are no longer the reg
ulation musty affairs they used to be.
They are among the most artistic and
attractive features of the popular news
paper, and the frugal housewife scans
the fresh business announcements OF
each day or week as carefully as the
dealer or speculator scans the produce or
money market. Those business houses
who patronize the newspapers are the
ones who secure the bulk of trade. The
carefully edited, compact, fresh, COM
plete, cheap and neatly printed newspa-
per is the popular favorite, and the only
channel through which the public can be
reached, either for business or senti-

locomotives are now built, says one author

Sundays Albany News and Advertiser
contained this interesting railroad item:
1t seems that the Albany, Boston and
Florida railroad means business.
An important meeting was held in this
Friday.
President W. B. Lowe, of the Chatts-
hoochee BricK Company, and of the Co
lumbus Southern, met Judge Tillman, Of
the A. B. & f. road, who was also &C.
eompanied by Chief Engineer Cowan, Of
that road
They held long conference and as a
result of 1t Mr.. Cowan was instructed tc
make the survey from this city to Nc
Donald, in Thomas county, at once.
The A. B. 6 r. road is in operation
already to that point, and it is supposed
that this survey means immediate ex
tension.
The fact that Mr.. Lowe was here IL
the conference leaves the inference thai
the Columbus Southern is interested, OF
will be, in this new road.
