The first question a man asks when he
sees a girl flirting, is whether she is
respectable or not; it raises doubt at
once. This being the case, no modest
girl can afford to indulge in the pasttimeA
When the down is brushed from the
peach its beauty is so marred Il at it can
never be restored, and when young
girl throws lightly aside that sweet and
modest reserve SO becoming to a nader,
and which so elevates her and enables
her to command the respect of all, she
loes her greatest charm and becomes
rather cheap and common. Flirting may
seem to the giddy and tho1ghtless girl
wonderfully amusing, and she may get
the idea that she is fascinating, but it is
most degrading thing and should be
frowned upon by every young lady who
has an ambition to become a worthy
and charming young woman.

A young lady who heard Sam Jones

which is but characteristic of the man :
Before beginnnghiS sermon he proceed ed
to rebuke his late corners. "Now, what
makes you women so late? I'll tell

woman. Sam looked at her a moment
and remarked: "Well, God knows,

difference how late you come hereafter;
I'll make no fuss"
Georgia has something besides
peaches to blow about just now. Reports
from South Georgia indicate that this
years melon crop will be an unusually
large one. The present acreage in south
Georgia is estimated at about 10,50O.
from which will be gathered over 5000
car loads of watermelons. Watermelon
culture has until very recently been a
very profitable business, but it is thought
that this year the mark cts will be badly
glutted, owing to the. increased acreage
of melons in Florida.

How Its Being Worked.

From the Americus Recorder.
The administration whip is cracking
throughout all Georgia and the presi-
dents gold orders are being systemat-
ically passed down the line. The bank
ers, money lenders and merchants in
the towns and cities are being flooded
with circular letters warning them of
the wrath to come should they aid or
abet the restoration of silver money in
the country. Political bosses in each
and every country have been taken up
on high mountain and descended with
salared government commissions in
their inside pockets, which means
they have joined the golden army, and
for the "filthy lucre'' will henceforth
fight silver, the money their fathers
thought good and sound enough to
maintain any nations credit.

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
The Stricken Nebraskaas Again CRY Out for
Aid.

Mayor Baldwin has received from Mr..
G.. {. Pond. secretary and solicitor OF
the citizens relief committee Of Ewing,
Nebraska, AN appeal for help IN behalf
of the drOuth-stricken people.
The following is an extract from the
appeal that has been received here:
''Our citizens who were able have been
carving the afflicted people through
three seasons of partial failures, and have
aided until they are no longer able. The
state has expended its seed approprla-
ton, the fortunate ones of this vicinity
receiving either four bushels of corn or
of oats, potatoes less, while many receiv-
ed none. We have strained every energy
for their RELIEF, but are compelled TO
appeal for aid to relievs their desperate
condition and sufferings. We have or
ganized committee that contri buttons
sent to this point may be wholly and
iadiciously distributed to the poor and
needy. And we cOuntenance no other
agent or solicitor from this locality.
Cruel starvation should not enter the
many afflicted homes. Yet the land
boomer and selfish and INSCRIPTIONS
'shylock' are prociaiming through the
press that there is no restitution, and the
people have plenty in Nebraska. The
sick, destitute and feeble are calling for
aid; their Scanty stores are becoming ex-
hausted, and yet they know not where to
replenish them. Meantime the time for
planting is passing swiftly, but these
people have no seed, and without seed
hope is gone. Their need for provisions
to tide over the weeks between the pres
ent time and the coming harvest is very
great; yet so imperative is the necessity
for a supply of seed for their crops and
feed for their teams while cutivating,
that even present wants are almost lost
sight of in the anxiety to provide for
future sustenance. Kind friends, aid US
to supply seeds while yet there is time:
that they may harvest and provide for
the coming winter, OF terrible restitution
and suffering will again prevail through
out our land. Aid us to care for the sick
and feeble, and your reward will come
as the sunlight from heaven"
In private letter TO Mayor Baldwin
the information is given by Mr.. Pond
that on the 9th and 10th insts. heavy
frosts didmuch damage, killing the gar
dens and again filling the people with
despair at theiL helpless condition and
dread of the coming winter.
Mayor Baldwin will forward anything
that is left with him for the relief OF
these unfortunate and needy people.

SENATORIAL SPECULATj0NS.

In a column of interesting political
gossip the Augusta Evening Herald
speculates a bit on the United States
senatorship. The Herald expects to see
fight for this plum between Hon. E P.
Howell and Secretary Hoke Smith. Be-
sides their antagonism on other ques-
tions,- they are widely at odds on the
silver question, and on that issue they
could make very lively campaign. 10

sor, but he will yet represent Georgia in
the American house of lords.
1t is the belief Of the Herald that Ma
ior Bacon's senatorial career will be linn
tied to one term, but wherefore it saith
not. 1t says that Governor Atkinson
has ambitions on a line that leads to the
senate chamber, and that Ex-Governor
Northen is similarly affected

The greatest force in this country is a
frst-claSs mother. She lives longer and
stronger than any other character, for
she multiplies her life by the number of
her children. A prohibition mother who
raises ten children ought to be equal to
ten prohbiLionists. The Chris ian moth,
er who raises ten children ought to be
equal to ten Christians. The democratic
mother who raises ten children ought to
be equal to ten democrats and so on. In
a few years each of these ten children
becomes the father or mother of home
and each in turn live in their children
the lives of their mother, and it will be
but a short time until first-claSs m0the.
will be hundred times what she is.

Their Influence Manifested In the Destiny

threw off the Roman yoke IN all insur-

and counselor was Velleda, wise
woman who dwelt in the depths of the
Bructerian forest. she had been
chosen with Civilis TO decide an i'm
portant question Of state. She was
also umpire in civil disputes In order
that greater reverence might be felt
for her, messengers were not allowed
to see her face. but questions and an
swers were carried by one Of her rela-
tives- Velleda had prophesied defeat
to the Roman soldiers and Civilis find
ing his people anxious to throw off the
Roman yoke united the tribes for bat

his mother and sisters, the wives
and children of all MS soldiers. Ii the
advance 10 battle the women united in
the war songs with the men and urged
them on to brave deeds If the tide Of
battle turned against the Germans,
the women often rallied them by hold
ing up their children and entreating
them not to allow their wives and chill
dren to become slaves of the enemy.
If they fled, their wives put them to
death that they might stiil have a
home in Valhalla. If they conquered,
the women dressed their wounds and
honored them still more.
Civilis believed that the presence Of
these women was a great incitenent
to victory. He engaged in battle with
the Romans and came off conqueror.
In return for her services, Felleda re-
ceived the most valuable part Of the
booty. q Roman trire,nc among other
