COME TO GEORGIA,

For variety Of climate and pro-
auctions there are but few states
equal TO Georgia. An exchange
says that Georgia can match cotton
with Texas, she can challenge Della
ware as to peaches or California in
the matter of plums; Virginia nor
New Jersey can show more fertile
or more profitable truck farms,
Florida cannot beat our tobacco
nor Louisiana our sugar cane, Ohio
can show no finer grapes than can
be grown right here. Some of our
counties can put Kansas to he
stumps when it comes to corn, and
only in quantity made can Iowa beat
our butter.
Thousands and thousands of acres
are lying idle in this sunny land,
only waiting the touch of the hug
bandmen to make them blossom like
the rose. Just and equal laws are
;mpartially enforced and a warm
southern welcome extended to all.

Hon. ". ]. BRYAN
Was PersOnated by a
Practical Joker.
A VAST CB0ND HAD ASSEMBLED
AT the Marietta Depot to See
the Foremost Statesman Of
the Country.

1t was announced in the Atlanta papers
that Hon. W. j. Bryan would pass through
Marietta on the W. & A. R. h passenger
train 40 Tuesday evening enroute to
Atlanta to fill an engagement to lecture
wednesday night. That curiosity that
human natare possesses to large degree,
prompted about 500 of our citizens, men
women and children, to assemble at the
depot to get glimpse OF the foremost
statesman Of the country.
When the train came in and stopped the
rushing crowd gathered around, calling for
Bryan. In obedience thereto there ap,
peared upon the platform of Pullman
sleeper smooth laced. well.dressed gen.
tleman who lifted his silk hat very grace
fully, and in hoarse voice said:
Ladies and Gentleman-As YOU well
know | am under contract with one OF the
richest corporations in the United States
to deliver series Of lectures. 1t would
afford me greatpleasure to speak to you
to night, but aui very hoarse AMI cannot
do so, but will shake hands with you"
He then reached his hand out and some
halt dozen persons in turn grasped his
hand and shook it very cordially, when a
GLORIOUS Of voices yelled out, "Oh, you are
not Bryan Git p and the fellow darted
back into the coach with scared look.
He was theatrical individual who at
tempted to perpetrate joke on the vast
crowd present. In place OF selling" some
body, he got sold"
Mr. Bryan was not on the train. He
missed connection and went over the
Southern Road and arrived in Atlanta
about ten o'clock.
1t was a eseae disappoiaimqAt TO the
people. We learn that crowds assembled
at every town and station between here
and Chattanooga to see the distinguish
ed gentleman. At AcwortK bond fires
were blazing and great crowd was out.
At Gainesville the same practical

shook hards by the score.
When he struck Marietta it was no GO.

There is a nice art in being able
to pay compliment gracefully, and
it is ore that ought to be cultivated
in the home IS we'll as in outer cir
cles of society. There is no reason
why the home circle should not be
as polished and attractive in its be-
havior as the public assembly. 1t
is great error fore fathers and
mothers to permit such a relaxation
of politeness among their children
as We too often find under the family
roof-tree. Company behavior and
company manners may necessarily
be more formal and precise than
those of the Preside and sitting
room, when there are no strangers
present, but it is fatal to good breed
ing to deliberately lay polish and
compliment aside when our own dear
ones compose the company exclu-
sively. Teach the children to say
graceful. things-yet truthful things,
of course-to brothers and sisters,
as we'll as to strangers; to be as
careful of wounding their feelings
and their self-respect as they would
be of the feelings Of guest, and at
the breakfast or dinner table to take
just as much pains to entertain and
enlighten each other as though the
entertainment of a party OF invited
friends depended upon the effort.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

There Is no value to gift which
is given with the hope OF receiving
another in exchange for it. That
gift which goes as burden is lack
ing in the Christmas spirit. Gem
crosby is false when it is forced.
The American people are spoken of
as being generous to a fault, and, in
a way, this contradictory phrase
tells the truth. Real generosity
cannot be a fault, but that false
spirit called generosity" which in.
cites you to give when you cannot
afford it, which urges you to give,
or which suggests to you that you
give SO that your gift may be talked
about in high places, that is not
even generosity to fault. 1t is a
combination of vanity and mean
ness. 1t is true that in too many
households Christmas gifts are tax.
For weeks alter the great festivities
the household is worried by unpaid
debts, or perhaps, worse still, is not
troubled by the money that is due,
or perhaps it is hampered in every
way through paying for extravagant
Christmas gifts. = Ladies' Home
