AlluCOllNds MUM
The questions of our inquirer from the
far West are rather vague; that is, lack
ing that specifcness that enables one TO
answer satisfactorily. Between the 800
miles that cover the length of Georgia
there is great variety in the soil and eli
matte conditions of the state. There are
hardly and hardy or half-hardy plants
that cannot be grown in one section or an
other. In the northern section apples are
grown 10 perfection where they do not'suc-
coed at all in the southern or even middle
section. While peaches are grown with
more or less success in every county of
the state, it is left to Middle Georgia to
make the greatest success of commercial
orchards. AT present the great peach belt
lies between The 32d and Bath degrees of
latitude, but just above and below this
belt they are grown with fair success. In
one section or another Georgia can grow
with success cotton, corn, wheat, rye, bar
ley oats clover, grass, rice, sugar cane,
tobacco, potatoes, peaches, plums, apples,
grapes, pears, nearly all the smafl fruits,
all the garden vegetables; can raise horses,
mules. cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, not to
mention an abundance of postum, rabbits,
squirrels. quail, etc, everywhere. oh!
Georgia is great state in her varied soils,
climate and productions. Difficult indeed
to please is the man that cannot be suited
somewhere in her bounds. In the noun
tain regions of the North snow and ice
enough 10 crafty the warmest blood, and
by gradual declension the southwark con
ditions, ordinarily, almost tropical, are to
be found.
But we cannot grow tea and coffee; at
any rate we have NOT done So There is no
telling, however, what another generation
may bring forth in this direction.
When the day comes, and it must come
some day when the farmers of Georgia
cease to be specialists and make those
combinations of crops that tend to make
the farm self-supporting, there will be no
country on the globe so rich, in agricul-
tural resources as this wonderfully blessed
section of the earth. Not even France
will suTpass it. 1t is true the beginning
is just being made where il should have
been made fifteen or twenty years ago.
But learning the hard lesson of the hour,
we will look to the future with all hope
fulness. Essace.

else. and declared that Aunt Minervy Ann
had been ''mincin an not eatin'.'
Finally. Aunt Minervy Ann. having swal
lowed as much as she could. announced
her intention of hunting for the children
but she didn't have to hunt at all, for they
were outside the kitchen door. They would
have been inside but for the fact that they
had been warned that they must not watch
other people while they were eating, neither
at the table in the dining room. nor any
where else.
Aunt Minervy Ann wiped her mouth with
the back of her hand and laughed when
she saw them.

the party at the other he told them to go
ahead and talk to one another.
In Successful Operation.
''To be, or not to be, that is the aues-
ton" began Sir William. do you hear
me?" The answer came back. Yes. quite
plainly" The members of the party were
simply astounded. The Emperor of Brazil
was then stationed at one of the instru-
ments. and he carried on an animated con-
Versation with Elisha Gray. who stated his
wonder at the marvellous invention OF
Bells.
Before Bell left Philadelphia that evening
a note of congratulation was delivered To
him from Sir William Thomson. For a
week Sir William, Prof. Henry and others
phone instruments. When they had salts
fed themselves as to the great scientific
and practical value of the invention. no
words of praise from them for Bell and his
telephone could prove too strong
Accounts of the telephone were published
in the press and were cabled and telegraph
ed all over the world. In a short while the
name of Bell was on every tongue, and the
young man awOke to find himself famous
beyond his widest dreams It might be
stated parenthetically that the Boston nress
shortly afterwards announced the marriage
of Miss Mabel Hubbard to MIR. Alexander
Graham Bell.
Perfecting His Great Work
But the telephone which Bell exhibited
at the centennial exposition would scarcely
be recognized as the parent of the wonder
fully complete instruments used today. 1t
is true, however, that the basic principles
OF the instruments which now transmit
messages amounting into the billions an
ually are idenucally the same as those first
applied by Bell. The remainder has been
a matter of evolution and of adaptation.
OF late the principal movements have been
effected along the line of long distance
telephony until conversations can now he

future of Bells ideas for the telephone.

since Lord Kelvin, would, in company with
the Emperor of Brazil. inspect some OF the
inventions in harmonics Of the distinguish
ed scientist. Elisha Gray. As a special
favor Mr. Hubbard obtained from them a
promise to allow young Bell to show his
telephone contrivance TO the party. He
then telegraphed Bell to come 10 PAiladel-
phia.
The young man was undecided as TO
whether he should go. Perhaps the cold
ness with which the invention had 50 far
been received and the hardships which had
attended its inception had disheartened
him and shaken his confidence I'm himself
Anyhow, class work was pressing, and he
determined not TO neglect his scholars again
for the chance of advertising his already
too expensive and unremunerative inven-
ton.
He had about made up his mind to let the
night train for New York and Philadelphia
leave without him when some one knocked
at his door and announced that Miss Hub
bard was awaiting him outside in her car
riage, and desired to see him Immediately.
He seized his hat and went down to meet
her.
phia?" was the question which greeted him.
The young man began TO explain about
his classes and other Dues which would
deter him from taking the trip.
He Had TO Go.
Well, come take a drive with me-" said
his fiancee This was an invitation which
he could not refuse. He got in the car
rlage Immediately and was driven to the
station. There Miss Hubbard descended.
Mr.. Bell did likewise
The New York train was already waiting
on the track, with steam up, ready to pull
out.
Mr.. Bell, You are going TO Philadelphia
to exhibit yoar invention" was the decided
order that the young man received. And go
TO Philadelphia he did, although there was
little time remaining to waste in making his
decision, and none in which to make other
preparations for the trip than to buy a
ticket. Miss Bell saw him safely on the
train and returned triUmphaTltly home. The
next morning Bell arrived in Philadelphia
and prepared to exhibit his telephone. The
18th of June proved very warm day. and
the distinguished party OF judges and not
ables, including the two wor.d-famous scien-
lists and inventors, Sir William Thomson
and Professor Henry. and the emperor Of
Brazil, had taken long time in examining
the really remarkable invention of Elisha
Gray. They must have felt considerably
bored when young Bell finally gained their
attention and commenced to explain his ap-
paratus.
But he had not proceeded far before Sir
William Thomson and Prof. Henry became
intensely interested. After explaining the
theory OF the telephone. Bell placed Sir
William Thomson at one of his instru-

FEnALE MAIL.

That sounds more contradictory than
1t is, when attention is called to its being
a description of the largest mail received
by any man in the United States exclu-
sively from women. This "female mail"
is received by DR.. R. V. Pierce, the cele-
brated specialist in wonen's diseases,
chief consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo, N "
1t is only fair to say that it is not the
man that women write to, but the doctor.
One of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to write to DR.. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
fatherly advice, which was blended with
the physicians counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer of free consultation by let
ter is extended by DR.. Pierce to every
sick and ailing woman. Every letter
received is read in private, answered in
private and its contents treated as sa-
cred confidence. To exclude any third
party from the correspondence, all
answers are mailed in plain envelope,
bearing upon it no printing or advertising
whatever. Address DR.. R. V. Pierce,
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the
great remedy for female troubles, irregu-
1arities, facilitating drains, inflammation
and liberation, is for sale by all dealers
in medicine. Accept no substitute
which may be recommended as "just as
good |" that the dealer may make little
extra profit.
