Prosperity of the Farmers.

When President j. Pope Brown of the
state agricultural society a few weeks
ago asserted that the farmers of Georgia
were the most prosperous they had been
in twenty years, certain newspapers and
politicians were real angry with him They
had been asserting all along that the
farmers were going from bad to worse"
and that their only hope lay in securing
certain legislation, which the politicians
and the papers were advocating. To have
so excellent authority as President Brown
come along and upset their. arguments
with one broad statement of fact was very
disagreeable. They, therefore. attacked
the statement, and endeavored to prove
to the farmers that they really were not
prospering, despite Mr.. Browns facts and
figures, but were indeed desperately poor
President Browns statement, however,
has stood the fire of criticism. And not
only this, but it has received the endorse
ment of ex-Gov. Northen, than whom no
man in the state stands closer to the farm
ing element. President Brown says he
would be willing to have the present pros
perity guaranteed to the farmers of Geor-
gia for twenty years to come. Ex-Gov.
Northen endorsed President Browns po-
sition, in an interview with a Commercial
Advertiser reporter in New York the other
ments based upon the "deplorable condi-
ton" of the farmers. which was said to be
''going on from bad to worse?"

offered by the Boat Owners Association

THE ANDREE POLAR EXPEDITION

Berlin Scientists Sceptical-Details of
 the Departure.
 Berlin. July 19-The best scientific opinion here is not sanguine of the sue cess of Herr Andree's undertaking. Further details have been received as to the exciting circumstances under which the ascent was made from the island of Tromsoe in the midst of a strong wind, which frequently blew in fierce gusts.
 The cook had carefully slowed in a small barrel the first dinner to be eaten aloft, and Herr Fraenkel took along a few bottles of beer for immediate use. From the west side of the balloon waved the Swedish colors side by side with a white silk flag adorned with a blue anchor the gift of woman friend of the aeronaut. Immediately under the balloon was fastened diagonally 8 piece of bamboo to which were attached sails like wings, which the aeronaut hoped to manipulate from the car by means of ropes.
 Just before 2:3O p. m. (July 11) Andree was ready. Ee shook hands heartily with those who were assembled in the balloon house. holding to the trappers who stood watching him, and addressed warm and heartfelt words to all whose hands he could not reach. Then the trio, Andree, Strindberg, and Fraenkel, standing in the car, severed the ropes holding the balloon, while Andree counted one, two, three. The balloon rose majestically, while Andree gazed in happy confidence upon those who re- naained behind. Then all three waved their caps and shouted: Greetings to ali at home in Sweden"
 After the narrow escape from being driven against rock in Sweerenburg Sound the balloon was seen moving northward. exactly as Andree wished, over the fiat peninsula of Hollaender- naes It will probably be driven to- ward Greenland or the north coast of America.

THE COMING MEETING.

Of the American Board in New Haven
 The following from the Congrega- tionalist of July IS Is in reference to an important feature in connection with the coming meeting of the American Board in this city:
 While the officials of the American Board await eagerly and somewhat anxiously the receipts of the next six weeks they cherish a good measure of hope that if the churches will do their part the fiscal year will close Septem- Der 1 with little, if any, debt. June registered a total increase In donations and legacies of more than S16,000 over the receipts of June, 1896. The record for the ten months closing May 31 is not, however, so cheering, inasmuch as there has been falling off in the total receipts of nearly st5,0oo. It should be remembered that the Board is not struggling to pay a debt, but simply to meet appropria tions which have been kept within the narrowest limits pos- sible. At the Toledo meeting last autumn there was a strong sentiment in favor of instructing the Board to in- crease its appropriation for the mis- sions by s50,000. The wisdom of not taking action now appears. But cer- tainly if the Board has been run on a less liberal scale than some of its zeal ous friends could desire, 1t behooves the churches now to see that its in come be made equal to its outgo be- fore the fiscal year ends. A little heavier lifting all along the line will accomplish this most desirable result. Then the members will assemble at New Haven in October with great re- joicing. The program of that meeting is already we'll in hand, and the special American Board number Of the Howard Avenue Church News, which is now be- ing distributed broadcast throughout

THE TREATY.

Five days later news from the
coast does not give much further
information about the Annexation
Treaty. The reply to the protest
of the japanese Government, which
had been drawn up before the last
mail left, was placed in the hands
of the Japanese legation in Wash
ington on June Goth and had been
cabled by the Minister to Toxic.
The document is a lengthy one,
and deals with international prece-
dent and international law.
1t is said that in some parts the
meaning is somewhat obscure. Of
this statement one is apt to doubt
the accuracy, for if Secretary Sher-
man prides himself upon one point
rather than another it is his clear
ness and sperspicacity in expound-
ing questions of international law.
However, the document is likely to
give the Japanese Government a
considerable amsunt of work, study
ing up the points made and finding
answers to them.
With the use of the telegraph
the counter reply will, in all prob
ability be made in Washington be-
fore the next steamer from the
coast leaves, for the draft can be
made there and signed by the
japanese Minister. The full text
of all these documents will be very
interesting.
The Hawaiian exception clause
will certainly pass in the tariff bill,
pending action upon annexation
nothing disturbing the economic
conditions here will be undertaken.
1t is only days news, but it is
quite a satisfactory days news

JULY 3, 1897.

Since our last announcement
the Iolani has arrived with a
very heavy cargo Of kerosene
oil and in consequence the
price has dropped, making the
using of oil stoves more econ
omical than ever.
The demand for BLUE
FLAME Oil Stoves has been
so heavy that it has been al
most impossible to carry a
stock large enough to supply
the call.
Where formerly we had on
the two styles, we now have
three sizes, the third size being
smaller than the other two.
The PORTABLE DEITZ
OIL, STOVE is built on the
same lines as the coal and wood
stoves, with the exception that
it consumes oil. This stove is
complete with oven, kettle and
stew pan. We have smaller
styles in one, two and three
burners for heating milk ETC.,
that comes in handy when not
wishing to cook a full meal.
In coal and wood stoves and
ranges we have the Olive,
Bono and Pansy in three sizes
which are household jewels;
in larger stoves or ranges the
No. 7 Fisher Steel Range,
Columbus Nos. 7 and 8, and
the Empire City an excellent
range for country hotels, res
taurants and coffee shops. 1t
is not boasting when we say
that is is a hard matter to find
a better assortment of stoves
of all kinds, sizes and prices
than we handle.
