DIARIES in DENMARK.

college, says: Denmark is little
country in northern Europe, about
$4,000 square miles in extent, or but
little more than sixth the size
of Kansas, with population OF 9,
100000. The little country has,
during the last dozen years, become
noted the world over as a dairy

which amount nearly one>half is

mers, on an average, 100000 9
month for butter. The area of Den,
mark is approximately equal to that
represented by the three eastern
tiers of counties in Kansas. Sup.
pose this portion of the state to be
populated by 100000 people, more
than half Of whom were farmers,
then you could form some idea Of
the conditions under which the Dam
ish dairy industry has developed,
with this exception, that the Kansas
soil in this region is Of very much
better average quality than the soil
the Danish farmers cultivate.-Kan-

He knew that in a few minutes the
fast train was due from Atlanta,
and he ran quite a mile to where he
could have straight line of road

coat, which he used as a flag. In a

COMMISSIONER NESBITT.

From the Eally County News.
Hon. r. 7. Nesbitt Commissioner Of
Agriculture arrived in Blakely on Friday

ly to the residence OF Mr.. d. d, Strong

his old home county.

tically charming address on cotton, fer
tilizers and the new hay-shredded corn

Throughout his speech he was listened
to with rapt attention, except when an
occasional sally of refined wit or the vivid
portrayal OF some potent truth created out
bursts OF hearty applause.
After the address it seemed that every
body in the audience tried to be first to
shake his hand on the score OF personal
friendship, great many Of those who went
up to greet him being colored people who
were once his slaves

liberty save that which he gave them, had
riyeted their hearts to him with bonds

Such scene on the streets of Blakely,
last Saturday, as the meeting of this old
time master with his old time slaves, so
full of that something which caused hands
and voices to tremble, and tears to distill
on the shrunker cheeks of age, is enough
to forever set at rest all speculation upon
the part OF our Northern neighbors as to
the existence of hate between the South's
ex>slaves and their former masters.

noted with much pleasure. His friends

How Klondike was Discovered.

There was an old Hudson Bay hunter
named George Mccormick, who was
married to an Indian woman and had
family of half breed children. Game
got scarce and Mccormick conceived
the idea of starting a fishery up on the
Yukon and catching salmon to sell TO
the miners at Circle City. The Indians
told him that where the Klondike
Creek fell into the Yukon he could
catch salmon ninety pounds in weight,
and he started his fishery there. The
fish didn't run as usual that year. Nc
Cormick got but few and was disgusted
accordingly. One day an old indian
came along and asked Mccormick why
he was so much troubled about not get
ting any salmon Mccormick said he
wanted to make some money. The old
Indian then said, if he was so anxious
to make money he wouldn't bother
about any salmon, he would dig some
gold Mccormick asked where was the
gold. The Indian replied, "Oh, in the
creek bank. anywhere Mccormick
had nothing to wash gold in but fry
ing pan, but he started in with that,
and washed about 5000 worth of gold
out of the creek bank the first day.
When he went down TO Circle City for
some whiskey and tobacco. and other
necessaries, he dropped a hint TO some
of his old friends who went back with
him and staked out claims. After a
while somebody in Circle City wonder
ed what had become of those old chaps
who used to hang around town, and
had gone up to Klondyke with McCor-
mick After while somebody went
up the river to enquire, and came back
with the news that the old chaps had
found the gold diggings of all the world,
