BUsINEss.-During this week we have sent
out number Of statements. We do not
desire to permit subscription to run longer
than the second year ; it is harder to pay and
is the most frequent cause Of loss of subscri-
bers. You will all therefore understand that
we expect you to pay these bills, not for the
above reason alone, but because we haye an
excellent us,lo which we can put the money.
A number have already complied and we
shall expect all to do 80. We have not been
able to get them all out, but during this week
the remainder will learn how their account
stands with US.

THAT PROBLEM w have been requested
to give the answer to the poser referred to
last week. viz. IF pay 70 per cent more for
my goods and sell at the same figure my per
cent profit is less" We'll my profit" IS a
loss of 53f per cent. The proof of 1t IS that
goods costing $1,000 and sold at loss of
53A per cent. sell for the same amount rs
goods costing $ll2O $4,000 plus 10 per cent?
and sold at loss Of 5St per cent. Try it.

To INGRRARE ITS CAPITAL SToCK.-We
learn from the Baltimore Law, Real Estate

pany, whose works are situated in Thurmont
will hold meeting at their Office in Balti-
more City, ito take action relative to increas.
ing the Capital Stock of said Company from
FIVE Thousand Dollars to Twenty Thousand
Dollars"
The present actual increase Of husincss and
the brilliant future promise Of the company
not only warrant but demand that prompt
preparation be made to meet requirements
While their plant here is effective it is limited
and incomplete and by no means prepared
to meet such demand as will assuredy arise
at once upon The advent of more prosperous
era in railroading and its approach row
seems hcraldcd and within hail
The American Signal Co has secured the
business Of eighteen we'll known railroad
systems, among them some of the largest, of
haying as many as three to four thousand
crossings on their line and are called upon
almost daily to erect signals at points here
tofore unprotected Among the uses to
which tie additional capital will be put, will
be the erecting of an iron cupola at the
works to make their own castings and any
work OF that character that may be brought
to them: they are at present making their
own brass castings. The present capacity
of the works is about thirty five signals per
month it is proposed by the increase of the
plant and the addition of an iron cupola to
more than double their capacity.
Mr. Geo. w. Smith, president and general
manager of the Company is also president of
the Arctic Fan Co.; the Arctic Fan is de-
vice to be attached to sewing machines for
the benefit of the operators in hot weather.
1t is quite certain that this novelty will be
manufactured in the proposed enlarged
building of the American Signal Company.
The two will prove to be % splendid indus
trial good TO US and this brings us to the
main point and object of this article, VIZ,
We mast keep the american Signal Company
soith as. There is no disposition whatever
upon the part of the present management to
go elsewhere the reverse is the fact but,
in the present organization there is $4,000
capital stock in the re- organized company
there will be $4,000. Some one or more
persons in the interest of retaining
the works inThurmont must control
that $4,000 worth of stock, else, in
asmuch as the works are to be re built they
may, by the loss of such control be removed
as we'll as rebuilt.

The Etiquette of the Fan.

There is an endless etiquette in the
use of fans, and with the Japanese
the fan is an emblem of life. The
rivet end is regarded as the starting
point, and as the rays of the fan ex-
pand so the road of life widens out
toward a prosperous future. 1t is
also said that the Japanese ogi orig
inally took it's shape from their Won
derful mountain, Fuji-san, which rep
resents to them all that is beautiful,
high and holy. When one begins to
understand all this, there comes a
salutary feeling of ignorance, and we
perceive that the japanese may claim
to be among the great symbolists in
the world. A continuance of such
study might turn the most hardened
European into a Japanophile.-Lon

The Best Reaching For the Indian.

Captain j. M. Lee of the Ninth
United States infantry probably
knows as much about the red man
as any human being on the face Of
the earth. In discussing the subject
during the last Sioux campaign Cap
tain Lee said: 81 want every young
Indian to be educated, but the knowl-
edge we feed to him ought to have a
commercial value. The Indian who
can correctly state the boundaries of
Kamchatka has no show whatever
alongside of his brother who has no
book learning, but who can intelli-
gently earn $40. Classical education
for Indians is simply expensive non
sense.
when I was in charge OF the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe agency, had a
teacher there who would spell the
same word Is different ways on one
page of a letter, but he educated
more Indians than any other teacher
1 ever saw. He taught the boys what
a yard was and made them under
stand the weight of a pound and the
value of a dollar. Every boy in his
school owned from 10 to 90 head of
cattle after studying under him for
five years. That is the sort of All ed
ucation the Indian needs. Wash

There is no doubt that the longing

was reading about marriages
the other day, said the large man.
and 1t made me think of woman /
knew who had mania for getting
husbands and then shaking them,
she got nicely come up to though.
She was pretty fair looking wop,-
an, and she had quite a lot of money.
These conditions made her search for
partners an easy one. There were
more fish than she could get into her
net.
"She married lawyer and shook
him inside of year. Then she got
adoctor, and lie lasted forsix months.
A plumber hung ON for a year and a.
half and baker for two years.
After that they came in quick success
sion. There was liveryman, and a
groceryman, and a conductor on
railroad, and carpenter, and finally
she hooked up with little fellow
who seemed to have no particular
occupation. He was a musician,
guess, when he wasn't too lazy to
work at 1t. He got acquainted with
the widow when she was laundering
for a new matrimonial experience.
and it didn't take her long to land
him.
They went to living in her house
as nice as you please. The little fel.
low grew sleek and fat, and as the
months rolled around the people be-
gan to think that at last she had met
her match and would be compelled
to struggle along with the same old
husband for number of years in
succession. One day, however, the
little man came down town and. an
nounced that he had been fired and
that his wife had told him that she
was through with him and intended
to get separation so she would be
in a position to cast about for some
body else.
He was revengeful little cuss.
He went to living at the hotel and
got to planning on how he could get
even with the woman. One day he
hit on an idea, and he hustled off to
put it into execution. Now, what do
you suppose that man did? Not
single, solitary thing but organize
brass band of the ex-husbands of that
fair dame and advertise that the band
would give concerts every Friday
evening. Before the first concert
was over the woman closed her house
and left, and there has been nobody
in those parts who has ever heard of
her since. She was capable of get
ting along when the husbands were
scattered, but she couldn't stand or

GENERAL REMARKS.

---
The Cotton and Corn Yield VIII Not BE as
Great as Was at Once Expected.
We regret to report that since our last
issue throughout the state as whole
the condition Of our staple crops has d.
Perforated rather than improved. This
is due to excessive rain in some sections,
and in others rather to everestimates in
the last report than to unfavorable con-
ditions since The estimates at this
time being much more accurate on &C.
count of the advanced condition of the
crops.
This crop shows falling off since our
last issue Of nearly per cent. At the
beginning Of the season the stand and
prospect throughout North Georgia was
the poorest reported to the department
for a number of years under favorable
seasons, Rapid regeneration and de-
velopment has taken place, and now in
! this section the crop is in better capdi-
ton than in any portion of the state.
Southwest Georgia, ON the contrary,
gave promise Of a good yield early in
the season, whereas now, with the ex-
ception Of East Georgia. the poorest con-
dition and prospect Is reported than in
any other section Of the state. The
falling OFF through Southern and Middle
Georgia is due to a development of weed
under the influence of copiops rains
without the plants properly fruiting.
CORN,
In the August report we were graft
fed to be able to show magnificent
promise of large yield of corn, and we
regret that at this them are not quite 90
favorable, showing falling off of ah94t
8 per cent, Notwithstanding this. the
prospect may be regarded as fine, es.
pecially in North Georgia, which has not
fallen off.
Our farmers are to be congratulated
on this, especially in view of the fact
that at one time during the season the
crop was very unpromising.
OTHER MATTERS.
There are other matters to which the
present report is related, but which, for
lack Of room, are omitted in this report.
COMMISSIONER TALK,
We wish to call special attention to
the commissioners talk, as it relates to
matters of vital Importance to our farm.
ers in regard to the important subject OF
fertilization.
