Nuggets From Georgia.

The man who is always hoping for
the best may not ever reach 1t, but he
has a happy time whistling on the
way.
The saying is, we learn sad lessons
in the school of experience; but II we
didn't gain experience we'd never know
which way the road turned.
We are not always on the bright
side of life, but we really need the
darkness sometimes-for resting pur-
poses.
Sorrow makes friends Of people that
never would be friends with the light
shining around them forever.
There are many worlds about us
but our only duty is to make this ont

situation at present is the Increase In
the interest and dividend dlsburse-
ments for July. As compiled for the
banking institutions of the east they
disclose an aggregate OF about si47-
100000 as against si4a.Soo.o0o for July
of last year and slss, 100000 for July,
1902. While this increase of ss,T00,000
Is not large--only n trine over per
cent from the figures OF last year--the
source OF II is significant.
II comes In some measure from In
creased dividends for the quarter or
half-year declared by a considerable
number among the smaller and com,
paratively ineonspicuous Industrial
corporations, but companies that are
nevertheless unusually prosperous just
now. II is due chiefly, however. to the
fact that dividend paying stocks or
growing concerns have been greatly
increased TO meet the needs of extern
sion and Improvement This IL par
ticularly true Of telegraph. telephone,
traction and similar public-service
corporations. Reduced or passed divl-
dends have not been uncommon for the
past twelvemonth among the more
prominent "industrlals." but decreased
disbursements In that quarter have
been more than offset by increases
among those companies above referred
to- In fact. about $2,500.oOo win rep
resent the net increase In "industrials'
disbursements this July over those OF
a year ago. And there win be more
than 100000 increase In the interes,
disbursements on railroad bonds--due
chiefly TO new issues.
Despite the generally unsatisfactory
condition OF the stock market during
the past year. II is plain that prosper
ity has been very generally continuous
among eastern corporations. Many OF
the securities most prominently In the
public eye may go begging In the mar
ket, but meanwhile the great mass OF
the industrial and public-service COR
poratlons, the railroads and banks
keeps on earning and distributing
profits and meeting It's interest obliga-
tlons. and the United States govern
ment never defaults. Most assuredly
there Is nothing in the conditions un-
derlying our general business struc-
ture to cause any apprehension just
now.

ing in the Weyerhaeuser Timber Com
pany, the Benson Logging & Lumber
ing Company and Collins 6 CO., who
were not represented at the meeting.
Weyerhaeuser Will Not Close.
A local lumberman states that It is
hardly probable that the weyerhaeusers
will consent to close for an extended
time. as they are getting rid OF their
large body Of burned timber as rapidly
as possible to save 1t from total loss.
He stated that the Weyerhaeusers have
contracted to furnish eO.Oo0,OoO feet OF
logs to the Inman- Poulsen Co., and
are selling to other mills whenever OPP
portunity offers. II is known that the
company has large storage facilities In
Lake Vancouver and that II has large
stocks OF various dimensions OF logs
on hand.
F. NJ. Duggan. prominent Puget
sound logger. states that the Weyer-
haeusers, who operate a large sawmlll
plant at Tacoma, do not use their own
timber when they can make purchases
from loggers at not higher rate than
81 thousand In fact, their Portland
Representative has stated that the COM
pany would not be now operating in
Clarke county. Washington, were II

any other way.

Here is a story which will give a
pretty good idea of the amount of rain
which fell, Friday afternoon. 1t was
related IS a fact by a gentleman who
lives some distance above the city, on
the east side of the river, and whose
name can be had upon application, and
the enclosure of a two cent stamp, for
return postage. The gentleman is a
regular morning caller at the police
station, and on Saturday morning he
was in q very joyful frame of mind
over the good which the storm had
done for him, by way Of filling his
cistem. He then went on to tell that
he had cistern which held 81 hogs
heads and stated further that the rea-
son he knew the capacity of his big
water barrel was because that when
had built it had cost him dollar
hogshead and the bill for it amounted
to 81. Before the storm, the water in
the cistern was very low so low that
there were only about five inches of il,
and the family used it very sparingly.
but Friday night. when he went down
to look at the tank, he was surprised to
find it full of water, almost UP to the
discharge pipe. The water. too, had
filtered through brick. and he now has
enough of it to supply himself and fam
lily with drinking water through the
winter.
