Did | not have misgivings that
You would not fiji the bill!
Although the one l paid for you
Three dollars-well, twas steep,
For now your fellows, placed on view
At ninety cents are cheap!
But still we had some fun, | think,
When you were clean and new;
If at a girl l tipped a wink,
l always tipped you, too!
Best friend of mine in many ways,
You've often advertised me;
Though, from your most abnormal traits,
You've often compromised me!
They've called you in-your day Is done:
Go, take a well earned rest,
For, now the summer seasons gone,

Owing to the fact that the crops have
all fully mafured. and are out of the
reach OF any fdrther effects due to the

out from the Nebraska experiment sta

Some over-enthuslastic sportsmen in
the east seem to have become imbued
with the impression that they will not
live the natural terms of their lives if
they do not witness the completion of
the defuulted yacht race. In further
ance of this idea they are trying. by
offers of new prizes, to persuade the
owner of the Naikyrie to change his
mind and to enter his yacht in Il new
race for the honors which they propose
to hold out. Up to the hour of going
to press Lord Dunraven had not
changed his mind. To influence Il man
who has spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars upon sporting of this kind
will doubtless require something more
than the pecuniary value of Il prize

You hear it on every street corner
that Commissioners Foster will hold

not permit any skullduggery in the

Rroatch and Nandy will resort to any

Foster can no more curb them than he
could curb the mouths of Hascall or
Scott and keep them from indulging in
incendiary talk and indecent language.

dreds OF thousands of visitors to
the enterprising metropolis OF Georgia,
not only from that section of the coun-
Try. but from every other. Originally
projected rs an exposition of the re
sources and the achievements in mate
rial development of the cotton states,
the enterprise gradually assumed more
ambitious proportions ana all Amer
lean countries were invited to partici-
pate. A number Of these accepted and
have exhibits at Atlanta, so that the
fair takes on something of an interna-
tiOnal character. All accounts agree In
stating that it will be Il much finer OK
hibition than that held ut New Orleans
several years ago and is not much
inferior in its attractions to the Cen
tennial exposition of 1876. At any rate
it reflects the highest credit upon the
enterprise of the people of Atlanta and
it is to be hoped it's success will exceed
their most sanguine expectations.

Capt. Merry's Experience.

We reproduce the appended, from
the Dubuque, Iowa, Herald to show
the value Of newspaper space as y
medium Of advertising by one in a
position and of sufficient experience
TO know whereof be speaks:
The people Of Dubuque aud Of
Iowa are well acquainted with the
success Of Capt. j. +. Merry, gen.
eral Western passenger agent Of the
Illinois Central railroad. He is a
great getter-up of excursions and
passenger traffic. We all know, too,
his methods--his advertisements in
newspapers, dodgers, posters and
other means Of letting people know
about excursions and low rates.
Capt. Merry was in attendance at
session of the Northeastern Iowa
Press Association, held IN Dubuque
ia ew days ago. The subject Of adj
vertising was under discussion. OBJ
taiuing the fioor, Capt. Merry said
Fifteen years Of experience in adj
vertlsing the Passenger Department
Of the Illinois Central railroad
prompts me to say that no medium
Of advertising 10 30 potent as the
local newspapers, and I would rather
have ten lines OF locals IN ten papers
at ten cents per line than 1000 pos
ters, flyers or dodgers at $40 per
hundred"
In other words, he regarded SO
investmen: in newspaper advertising
Of more zeal value than 500 in pos
ters or dodgers. Capt. Merry knows.
His experience can be safely follow
ed by business men.

COMMERCIAL INJURY PROPOSED

The esteemed Biloxi Herald
some time ago editorially dwelled
on the subject of excursions at
regular times from the Gulf coast
country to New Orleans for the
convenience of our people. The
article has met with favor, and
to such a prominent extent that
our neighbor across the bay, the
Beacon, has reproduced and fav-
orably commented on it.
The mere proposition sounds
well, looks we'll and with many of
the people would work well, but
for one moment at least let's try
to look at the proposition in
all its bearings. First, in
what way would these cheap
rate excursions benefit the coast?
The roads patronage on these oc-
casions would not be sufficient to
meet the "falling off" of the traf-
fic and besides with such pro-
gressive superintendent as Col.
Marshall, the project would have
long been inaugurated if found
consistent and of mutual advan-
tage, including the coast. But
this is not all nor the most, for
if there is one class of people
whose interest we feel duty bound
to guide within our scope, that class
is the business fraternity. 1t is
the commercial operations which
set to work the entire commune
ty, and the true thermometer to
prosperity is business activity.
Would these frequent and low
priced excursions to where one
can and will spend money liberal
ly and without discretion, not
once hesitating to think of the
home producer and merchant, be
of benefit to any community?
This question is simple, but of
weighty Importance. Let the
weight be felt.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

As stated briefly 10 these editorial
columns last week, Comptroller Bow
ler. the autocrat at Washington, has
taken the audscious liberty TO re-
verse the final decision OF q high
court, and to satisfy self-conceived
notion, declared the payment OF the
bounty to the sugar planters of the
United States, unconstitutional and
void. While this proceeding eman-
ates from Democratic Office under
Democratic administration, and
this paper Of the same political party,
and while il does not favor the bounty
originally, it condemns and brands
this act as not only obnoxious, but
outrageous in the fullest extreme.
That the payment of such monies
are legitimate no one can comfort
into successful contradiction. Those
mostly Injured by this decision are
the Louisiana planters to the extent
Of $5C0O,OO0.
The only relief and as last resort,
the claims may possibly be made
valid by action Of the next Congress,
and TO accomplish this 1t is most like
ly that body composed from the OPP
posite party will be necessary, an as
pect Of unpleasant dimensions
to the party in power. The leading
newspapers Of the country seem to be
in harmony in calling on President
Cleveland TO oust this man ard TO
eradicate all Bowlerism influence
anent the future, and to place this
part Of the official premises to one
not itching to run the entire govern.
ment. For the planters Of our sister
State Louisiana, who have depended
and planned on the once forthcoming
payment Of this government money,
and who will now find themselves con-
siderably embarrassed with further
financial unpleasantness by having to
meet certain obligations which we're
created in the twilight Of hope, this
Mississippi paper feels 9 keen regret,
and for The. Democratic party we de-
plore the occurrence. This alone
cannot brood any encouragement, we
are far above that, but an aggregation
of such farces will tend not only TO
make the party Unpopular but Of se-
we're injury.
