many who would be deprived of
the privilege of being present and

asking our kind editors to pay our

is asking too much. l think they
give us a great deal when they
give us as much space in their pa

would be as kind to Us as the Ac-
worth editors if we get up lot of
subscribers to their paper at $1.25
guess they would give us a ride,

of the Acworth paper is 75c,, and
those that got their free ride paid

and he gave them the ride to At

they paid Toe, for the paper and
SOC. for their ride. 1t would cost
at least from $3.50 to $500 for
each family to go to Atlanta, and

$500 to go to Lookout mountain,

Washington, July 2O--In proper

sive IN the world According to the
official notes o. military interest pre-
pared by Lieut.. Col Simpson it is
shown that the cost of maintaining
one soldier In the American army for
one year Is S1.O14. The nearest aP-
prOach 20 this IS Germany with S2O1,-
while Russia pays less than any 9TH

The American army, which Is con-
ceded by military authorities to be
the best in the world for its size, cost
s114,22O, 900 for 10000 men. while the
military establishments of France
costs a little over $4,000. 600 more,

Washington, July 24.-The an

South America, connecting Chile and
Argentina, suggests that there may
follow a practical revival of interest

lean railway line to connect the
North and South american railway
system, and lends interest to the
figures of the report of the IntercOn-
tinental Railway commission on the
proposed through railway line from
New York to Buenos Ayres. These
figures, which were issued in 1898,
show the entire distance by the pro-
posed route from New York to BuenOs
Ayres to be 1O,22S miles, of which
4,772 miles were then constructed and

Manila, July 24--The conference be-

that the total cost of maintaining the

farm near Kingfisher, Ok. How she
made the race for it at the Oklahoma

pressive heat and the hardships and
privatiOns through which she passed

story. Now it IS one of the best and

but gladly would she give il to secure
