which may come from some moral sem
sibility, is seen in the fact that he
never steals, such as food, and in all
the battles that have taken place
among the lions in our animal quar-
tiers he has been uniformly on the side
of the weaker and the aggrieved. al
bet he could write a story were he able
to talk, for you will notice over the
temples there is quite a pronounced
fullness and his eyes are wide apart
and expressive. He makes you think
of one of those little men with big
heads and small bodies who make the
laws and write the romances and songs
of the nation but wouldn't cut much
of figure under a musket or stand up
long in a soldier tramp under a tropi-
cal sun.

We call him sanity because he has the
long, narrow face, thin lips and ashen

who practices self-denial and breaches

nered, his voice Is so appealing, his
step is so deliberate and an inclina-

lot of white of the eye, as well as a
small appetite, all point to the ways
and hopes of the evangelist, rather than
the wild and untamable beast of the

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Consumption Curtailed, But Revival
of Exports VIII Prevent Accumu-


Intion.
New York, Aug. 16.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
The distribution of merchandise has
proceeded this week on a steady and
satisfactory scale throughout the East,
and in the West and Southwest the re-
lief from the long drought and heat Is
beginning to be reflected in a larger
retail trade so that for the quarter
promise is held out of a larger business
than last year. Crop conditions in the
territory most affected by the recent
drought are improving, and the wealth
er has been highly favorable in nearly
all districts east of the Missouri river,
though rains have interrupted the
spring wheat harvest.
The steel strike has affected prices
extensively, particularly on sales for
immediate delivery. In tin plates the
advance has been greatest, while hoops,
sheet, skelp and billets are sold at
premiums. Quotations are too erratic
for accurate record, and in many cases
sales are al private terms. Confidence
is steadily shown by placing of dis
tant deliveries at regular prices. Con-
sumption has undoubtedly been further
curtailed this month. but a revival of
exports tends to prevent accumulation.
Official figures of condition were far
more hopeless than even the most pes
simistic anticipations, indicating only
about 2,000,0 600 bushels of wheat and
corn together.
Cotton prospects have materially i'm
proved. and with average weather dur
ing the next few weeks there is reason
to expect yield equal to If not larg-
er than the one preceding. Picking will
be about three weeks later than usual
and the high wages and scarcity of
labor may cause some loss. Financial
~ the South is in a better position
than ever before; planters have mort
gagged less of their crop than usual
and the banks will not draw on New
York as heavily as heretofore.
Failures for the week numbered 1853
in the United States. against 161 last
year. and 10 in Canada against "a last
year.

FOR COLORED COLONY.
Hundreds of the Race FIOckinE 30
Coffee County.

Douglas, Ga, Aug. 16.-Douglas has
been thronged with colored people to-
day. They came in on every train, and
from every direction, in every conceiv-
able kind of conveyance, to attend Il
meeting and big dinner, given by the
promoters of the Coffee County Colored
Colony scheme. A large amount of cash
subscriptions were received.
Peter Vickers, Coffee county's most
wealthy colored citizen, and owner of
about 10000 acres of Coffee county
lands. is at the head of the movement.
Peter is an ante bellum darby, who
has made his fortune in farming Cof-
fee county lands. He is as polite to-
day as when a slave, and counts his
friends by the score among the best
white people of the county, and stands
ready with open purse, to aid any
worthy object of charity, or any enter
prise that will enhance the upbuilding
of his native county. He owns and
occupies a handsome country home,
and in addition to all his other enter
prises, operates a large country store,
owns large herds of cattle and sheep,
and has never dabbled in politics,
showing to the world what an honest
truthful colored man can accomplish
in this great southland of ours. He Is
wholly uneducated, but no one ever
bests Peter in a trade. He is PRINT
tive Baptist preacher, and believes In
his church first. last and all the time.
His scheme is to sell each colonist
a tract of land for home, collecting
cash, a certain per cent. of the trans
action, taking interest bearing notes
for the balance, and giving his bond.
for titles to be made, when the last
payment is made.
Peter is not the only wealthy color
ed man in Coffee county. A. j. Jones,
George Phillips, George Johnson, Sandy
Paulk, Isaac Paulk, and others have
made their money farming Coffee coun-
ty lands. and staying out of politics;
own up to date modern homes, well
titled and neatly kept farms, raising
all their supplies at home, with a sur
plus of corn, hay, bacon, beeves and
mutton for market. And any indus
trious, economical man, white or black
can accomplish as good results on the
cheap fertile lands of Coffee county.

The real value of Gibraltar in the

The real value of Gibraltar in the
past has been it's unassailability as a
port of naval refuge, says Leslie's
Weekly. There was room in the deep,
broad harbor for a monster fleet to az
semble, there to lie as long as neces-
sary under the protection of the forth
fications. No enemy could approach
such a fleet, for the guns high UP on
the rocks could be trained down with
deadly aim, and he could not reply.
The change in the situation is, of
course, due TO Spain, which has ever
felt the presence of the English as a
thorn in her flesh and humiliation
to her national pride. She has been
planting modern batteries where they
could shoot into the harbor at Gibral-
tar for more than ten years. In 1890
they were a menace to Gibraltar's SUI
premacy. and FIVE years later II was

If Fleming duBignon had consented to

the field is open to as many strong and
desirable candidates, the people who
do the voting want to take time to
look the various gentlemen over and
consider their respective merits. At
present the lines of the contest have
not been sufficiently drawn to arouse
much enthusiasm over any of the can

day is so far away. In the meantime,
however, the people are discussing the
subject, reading everything that is
printed in the newspapers bearing upon
the subject, and quietly forming their

ernor. Mr.. Tate had kind words Tor

You
Can Obtain
Certain Bodybuilding Results
By Using
GRAPE-NUTS
FOOD.
QUESTIONING A FRIEND.

If one takes the trouble to carefully
question a person that has been using
Crane Nuts Food for two or three
weeks. the facts will be brought out
that gradually there comes over the
body a feeling of increased strength.
particularly of mental strength and
ability.
The mind works clearer and more
actively when it plays upon a brain
that is refreshed. rebuilt and properly
constructed by the food elements in
tended by nature for such work.
This Is a profound fact regarding
Grape Nuts. The Food contains just
the kind OF material Nature must
have to unite with albumen, from
which to rebuild the gray matter in
the brain and nerve centers through
out the body. Therefore the user can
expect and obtain a definite result
from the regular use OF Grape Nuts.
