GIRLS WHO HAVE PUSH.

Thereisan interesting group of bright
girls at the New England Conservatory
of Music, in Boston. who represent the
quality Of push characteristic of the
American girl. There are some thirty
five of these girls, and they are being
unsteady and vocally educated by
The Ladies' Home JOurn u of Phila-
delphia. Some time ago this magazine
offered, as a stimulent to girls to get
subscriptions for it, free educatiOns at
the Conservatory. The American girl
is quick to see a chance, and one by
one these thirty-fve girls have come
from all parts Of the country to Boston.
They receive the very best the Con
servatory affords, the most desirable
rooms in the building are theirs, and
they have all their wants carefully
looked after by a wealthy prodical.
Perhaps in no other country on the
face of the globe could such a thing be
possible. These girls, too, the reporter
was told, belong to nice families, but
they preferred to earn their own
musical education rather than depend
on the family purse. Of course, the
particular girls are unknown to the
scholars at large, and to all intents and
purposes they are paying their own
way. And they certainly are. 1t is
said that the magazine Is also educAt
ing anumber of other girls at Wellesley,
Smith and Vassar Colleges. Boston

LETTER FROM CHATHAM.
WILLIAMS MILLS, n. G

WILLIAMS MILLS, N. &.
Mr.. EDTTOR:-I see a piece in the
Chronicle of March 10Th, headed.
"Faiiures and Dreaners, " stating who
are the men to c4fPy the Western
States for the Third party. He calls
them constitutional and peripathetic
kickers. He says one of them has been
hopelessly fighting the two old parties
for a dozen years; the other has spent
all his days to prove that Bacon wrote
the works of Shakespeare. He also says
such men cannot deliver anything.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I'm glad to know that
neither of them has been connected
with either of the old parties. Just
such men as they are not corrupted by
the spoils of Office, and the Third party
claims to be for a reform and wants
men who have no smell of corruption
about them.
I have always voted the Democratic
ticket, but hereafter expect to vote for
men and not party. If Cleveland or
Hill is nominated by the Democratic
party, 1 feel confident in saying that
ninety per cent. of the white voters of
mY-section will not vote at all. If
there is no Third party man nOmin ated
there will be a mass meeting held at
Fearington's Mill on the 25th Of this
month, and we would be glad if you or
some good speaker could be with us.
We are all farmers and not much at
speech-making. If you cannot come
send us some good man, for we want
all the information we a get. This
section is solid on the Ocala and St.
Louis platforms. For REFORM.

The FARMERS SIDE.
"Where We are, hOW We got here,

By Hon. w. A. PETER,
L. 8. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-03-29

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
!ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is The FARMEB'S
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, Of living, the prices
Of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms Of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way cut
which Is the fullest and most authoritative pres
sntation Of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and other matters of vital CONSEQUENCE.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARNER's SIDE has just been issned.

Attention, Subscribers.

The Atlanta Constitution has
notified the LEAF CHRONICLE that
the clubbing arrangements be-
tween the two papers, whereby both
can be had for $2.00per year, will
expire June /.
Those who wish to take advantage
of this unparalleled offer should do
so at once or the chance will be lost.
A great many have taken advantage
of the proposition all over the
GAINESVILLE Tobacco District. There
are many more no doubt who have
decided to avail themselves of the
offer who have not yet found it con-
venient to do so. This notice, there
fore, is intended for them, and they
are hereby given warning. The
LEAF CHRONICLE alone is worth the
price of both papers, and no one can
afford to let the chance slip, by
which two good papers can be had
for the price of one. Remember the
date, June 1, and send your subscrip-
tons before it is too late. d2t, sw3t

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
Called Meeting of the Board for
Friday Night.
Election Of a City Surveyor and Board
Of Health Business of Most
Importance.

1t is on the municipal STATE now
that a meeting of the City Council
will be held about Friday night to
elect City Surveyor and Board of
Health. There are only five an
nounced candidates for surveyor.
They are John Marable, r. S. Alex
amer, Mr.. Tapscott and Maj. Thorn
as. All of them are we'll known
to the citizens of GAINESVILLE, with
the exception of Mr.. Alexander.
This gentleman married Miss Ella
Fowlkes, of this city, and has lived
the greater part of his life in Nash
vile, where he has been connected
with the street work of that city as
assistant engineer. He has had
about eight years experience in the
work and comes well recommended.
1t is the impression in municipal
circles that the race will narrow
down between Mr.. Alexander and
John Marable, either Of whom will
make a good surveyor. They are
both competent men and understand
the work they will have to do in
case the plum falls to either.
The election of a Board of Health
is move in the right direction.
There is an ordinance in the digest
providing for this election, but no
election has been held since 1888,
and as consequence the matter has
been allowed to drag. The City
Council elects three members, the
Mayor appoints one from the council
and is himself a member ex.officio,
making in all five members
In addition TO this business, other
matters of smaller moment will be
considered possibly at the called
meeting.
