STOUT AND THIN PEOPLE.
Nature Regulates Fatness and SHINES
With an Iron Rule.

Fatness and slimness come by nature
and are therefore often impossible of
remedy, for it is of no use, and 1t is ut
ter folly besides, to fight against ones
constitution. You can affect that con-
'stitution to certain extent, but beyond
that extent, which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks, you can
only do harm, defeat the very object you
try for, and, worst Of all, throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that
If a man or woman comes Of big boned,
stoutly built stock he or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency
to corpulence. Conversely, suppose man
is born of family stock which is notable
for its thinness and slimness, it may be,
and generally is, worse than folly for
him to expect, by any process of feeding
or otherwise, TO become stout and well
favored person.
So let US realize this big fact at once
that we have to face the question of
our constitution first of all, and as SEN
sible people to see and discover whether
our fairness or our thinness is part and
parcel of our natural build. Rest assured
if we are fat by nature it Is useless to
attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce
our bodies to slim proportions. Many
man and woman has paid tho penalty of
such rashness by inducing disease
through their outrageous efforts to
thwart nature Let US be sensible, then,
about this "fatness" question and see
clearly where as rational beings, we
stand. 1t is possible to keep even a fat
body within it's own limits by reason
able care and diet, just as it may be pos
sible to fatten up thin person within
limits again by a regulated course of
food. Whatever you may do in the way
of thinning or fattening, you can never
safely or, what is more to the purpose,
permanently attain your aim by the use
of drugs. If there is any cure for fat
ness at all, be sure it is to be found IN
the food and in the food alone. Health.

THE GROWING COTTON.
Reports of Damage and short Yield
Everywhere.

Everywhere.
The reports from correspondents show
that the entire section has been damaged
by recent rains and hot sunshine. She'd
ding and rust is complained everywhere.
The yield will be considerably less than
last year Below are a few of the letters
received:
Tennille. Washington County, Georgia,
Sept 13-There has been favorable wealth
er for the maturing of cotton the past
week. but a series of rains, though light,
has injured the open cotton. The crop
has now arrived at the average limit for
blooms to mature and open by frost;
therefore, the observing farmer can es-
innate pretty accurately what his crop
will turn out. The severe rains of the
early part of August damaged cotton "a
great deal more than was first thought,
as is evidenced by lack of bolls that
should now be maturing, and which COM
prise the bulk of the crop. Many farmers
say that where they have picked over the
fields they find that fully half of the
crop is gathered. Some say that the crop
promises twenty-five per cent less now
than it did one month ago. Some say
that it is a poorer crop than has been
is predicted by some of the most knowing
ones. The size of the plant is misleading,
the foliage is abundant, where the rust
has not struck it, and the casual observer
would suppose the fruit was their too.
The early frost generally strikes in this
latitude between the lUJn anu NJIn OF DC
tober and as it requires thirty days for
maturing, from the bloom, ii will readily
be seen that time has lapsed on the pro-
duct of the plant, and good weather for
the latter crop is as important as at any
time of the plants growth.
Tennille'S warehouse is handling the
cotton that is brought to market, and il
is quite an Improvement on the former
plan of buying from the wagons and
every buyer weighing his own purchases.
The public weigher's plan seems to give
the producer satisfaction, though he has
the fee to pay.
Prices are satisfactory and as fast as it
is picked it is carried off to the gin1ery
and thence TO market.
Paschal, Talbot County, Georgia, Sept.
14.-But little change to note in the con-
winds with occasional showers, have
Picking is progressing rapidly on fields az
fected by rust. On lands were no fer.
tilizers were used the crop has just COM
menced to open. 1t is now estimated that
40 per cent of the crop in this section was
not fertilized Receipts at all shipping
points here for September will be light,
compared TO last year. Good open wealth
err is all that the crop needs henceforth.
Lumpkin Stewart County. Georgia,
Sept. 1.-THE cotton crop in this county
will not exceed hve-eighths of Il crop and
by the LIST of October will be housed The
warm, dry weather is making il all open.
Rain is needed TO help potatoes and peas.

sAvANNAH's TRADE YEAR.
A Complete and Thorough Prcsen-
tatiOn of the City's business.

A Complete and Thorough Prcsen-
tatiOn of the City's Business.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The Morning News trade edition, which
was issued Wednesday, comprises TWEEN
~ pages, and is decidedly one of the hand
soonest and most admirably gotten up
papers of this class we have seen this year.
Its presentation of the various branches
of business in the Forest City during the
past year is complete and thorough, and
is extremely interesting to every one who
feels pride in the continued growth OF
Georgia's chief seaport city. The value
of this paper to Savannah cannot be over
estimated, and it speaks well for the
enterprise of her progressive merchants
that they have been so liberal in their
advertising favors. They will not only
reap substantial benefit, but the well filled
pages of the announcements of nearly
every business house in the city indicate
to the outside world what manner of a
city Savannah is. There is no cleaner or
better printed paper in the country than
the Savannah News, which is an able
and highly creditable representative of
one of the fairest and loveliest cities and
most enterprising communities in Geor-
gia. Its trade edition for 1895 is perfect
gem in every respect, of infinite credit
to the city and an honor to the establish
ment which issued it.

VaI.yrie and Defender.


The Valkyrie has cost the English syn
dicate it is said, something like Sl35,000.
The Defender has cost the American syn
dictate $4,000. 1.-The main trouble with
the Englishmen is that they will not spend
money" said a prominent yachtsman to
me yesterday. What is a matter of a few
hundred thousand dollars to such men as
William X. Vanderbilt Oliver Iselin and
Il. d. Morgan? Nat Herreshom receives a
round 500, 600 for his share of the Defend
er. He gets $4,000 for building her, the
syndicate furnishing the materials, and
an additional $4,000 for winning the races.
So determined were the members of the
syndicate to get the best boat money could
build that if they had believed silver bet
ter material than aluminium, they would
have ordered her built of it. When three
men put up a quarter of a million dollars
to defend the cup do you suppose they
can afford to throw over their shoulders
any technical advantage?
