turesome spirits ready to rush in where
angels fear to tread. The probability
is the call will be made before great
while, for evidently the greatest war of
the world is near at hand when ell the
nations will be engaged in it, The dark
races must give away to the supremacy
OF the white. The Monaghan in China,
with yellow caste of countenance, and
and the Malay in the Philippines must
yield to the Caucasian in ruling the
world. 1t seems to be fate.
Hon. John w. Maddox was nomina-
ted for Congress at Calhoun last week.
He has no opposition so far. He ought
not to have any. He has made one of
the best Congressman any state has.
He looks close after the interests of the
people and on all questions touching
their welfare and happiness, he is gen.
orally found on the right with voice and
vote. With his experience in Congress,
ne is better qualified to do Georgia good
service than ever. In voting for John
Maddox you will vote for a worthy
man.
Cantaloupe raisers in Bibb county
report net profit of $4,000 per acre.
After the crops of cantaloupes have
been gathered, and additional $500
will be made out of the hay that grows
so easily on Georgia lands. If this be
true then cantaloupes pay better than
the raising of peaches. InCobb county
the peach orchards will make about
500 per acre. The orchard needs con.
slant work in worming and spraying
Not so with cantaloupes. ut$lOO per
acre for peaches beats cotton.
A visit to Judge Geo. F. Gober's
peach orchard one day last week, dis
closed the fact that he has several of
the best kept orchards in the state As
far as the eyes could see the bright red
and yellow peaches hung from limbs in
great abundance. 1t was a beautiful
sight and worth seeing. We had a de-
lightful Pepast with those distinguished
guests, Lady Ingold, Chinese Cling and
Miss liberia. May their tribe in
crease.
A poet has exploded the old theory
that the mocking bird is merely imita-
tive and steals his snatches from the
songs of other warblers. The latest is
that the knocking bird is the original
Shakespeare from whom the winged
world gets all its music. And the edi-
tor has knocking bird at his house
that is the whole Fifth Regiment band
and the Chicago Glee club combined.
Oh, he is "A singer, he is. No Marietta
girl can reach his notes.
The entertainment Tuesday night, at
Blacks Opera House. by Miss Eugenia
Livingston Tucker. was superb from be-
ginning to end. AS an impersonator
and dialectician she demonstrated the
highest order of excellence and talent.
She is an artist in her line. She pleas
ed the cultured audience present as
was quite evident, and unstinted praise
was given the rendition of her splendid
program. She would be taking" at
traction for our next Chautauqua.
Mr.. B. f. Roper, of Sheltonville,
Ga, an employee of Mr.. &. A. Moors
who lives OH Cherokee street, was
sleeping up stairs at Mr.. Moor's house
on Tuesday night, got up in his sleep
and walked out OF the window and fell
twelve feet, bruising his head and
breaking his right arm. DIR. Field gave
the needed attention
Col. M. M. Sessions has bought the
small brick store on Washington ave-
nue., opposite the courthouse, and is
having it fitted up for an abstract Of
flee. A fireproof vault will be built
and he will occupy it. Mr.. John r.
Winters, we learn, will also make that
place his office.
Miss Mary Howell is spending the
summer in Grand Rapids, Mich, where
she lis perfecting herself in kindergar-
ten work in one of the best schools in
the country. She will graduate in the
early fall, when she will return fully
qualified to teach kindergarten after
the latest and most approved method.
Senator A. S. Clay is constantly re-
ceiving invitations to make speeches
all over the state. If he should accept
them all he would not have time at
home for any business or be with his
family, besides he would soon find that
his physical ability would not be equal
to the task. A public man in office is
surely public servant.
A gentleman meeting one of his
friends who was insolven., expressed
some concern for his embarrassment.
"You are mistaken, my dear sir" was
the reply "'Tis not /, tits my creditors
who are embarrassed.
