Albany, (Ga.,) Herald.

| N~'y/
The Southern Printer, new
publication issued from Washing.
ton D. c.. in it's second number,
dated May 1st. has a splendid
write up of the Albany (Ga.)
Herald, and Editor H. M. Mc1n-
tosh. Many of our readers will
be interested in the following his
tory of our neigh Dor.
"The Albany Daily Herald was
Established is 1891, the first num-
Der appeared on October "a of
that year. The Albany Weekly
Herald was first issued four
months later.
"The newspaper history of AL
banv has been unique. The
community's first paper was the
Patriot, which first appeared in
April, 1945, under the editorial
direction of Messrs. Nelson Tiff.
the founder of Albany, and Seth
| N. Brougton. There we're sew
era1 other ventures in the local
newspaper field prior to the
breaking out of the war between
the states, but it was not until
1879 that daily-the Advertiser
appeared, being launched by
Henry Mcintosh, the present
editor of the Herald.
Eat that time Albany was hard
|1y more than a healthy village,
and it was boast never challeng-
ed that Albany was the smallest
town in the world supporting
a daily newspaper" The Ad-
vertiser subsequently absorbed
the News and Advertiser.
"Editor H. M. Mcintosh became
identified with the Herald few
weeks after the appearance of
it's initial number. Within
years time he was it's sole own err.
From June, 1895, to February,
1897, the Herald property was
owned by H. Mcintosh & Son,
that firm being succeeded by the
Herald Publishing Co., incorpo-
rated, which still servives, being
in it's ninth successful year.
The present officers of the COM
pany are H. M. Mcintosh, presi-
dent and editor-in-chief: H. T.
Mcintosh, secretary and treasur-
err and associate; ]. A. Davis, Jr.,
business manager.
Editor Mcintosh has been dem
tilted with Georgia journalism
since 1871. He began as a "dev-
il" and is practical printer.
He is now So years old, and has
spent IS years at the case, swing
ing to the lever of ethose Just
ly celebrated" Washington hand
presses and at the editorial desk.
He sold the Quitman Free Press
in 1877 and removed to Albany.
He established the Free Press
ia 1876, and that paper still en-
joys a prosperous existence.
He esta blished the Advertiser at
Albany, was editor of the News
and Advertiser for ten years,
and since 1891 has been at the
helm of the Herald.
1T is said of the Herald by it's
admirers that it is class to it's
self. The census of 1900 accord
ed to Albany a population below
5000. Of this nu Der two-thirds
we're blacks. In the county
(Doughertyl there were, in 1900,
1850 persons. of whom four
ffths were blacks, a preponder-
ance of negroes over whites not
exceeded in a half-dozen other
counties of the state.

HAD TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.
Clerk Harris SpoiIs Wedding by Not
Granting Necessary License.

Mr.. Jacob II. Foor and Mrs.
Carrie Clapper, of Graceville,
Bedford county, drove over to
McConnellsbuIg one day last
week, registered at the Fulton
House, and started out on the
hunt of a preacher. Rev. Adams
was found, IND requested to per.
form the ceremony that would
permit the happy couple to spend
the balance of their natural lives
in marital felicity.
When Mr.. Adams asked the
pro .pectlve groom for the neces.
sary papers to show that the Rev.
erend bad clear sailing, he was
informed that that little matter
had not yet been attended to.
To facilitate matters thepreach-
er directed him to certain
George A. Harris who keeps
those documents for sale at fifty
cents apiece, straight.
Mr.. Harris was found in his Of
fee, and upon learning the nature
of their business, most courteous
ly informed them that while he
did not take his own medicine, he
could give them the necessary
prescription, that would bring
the answer, and with pen in hand,
and the big marriage license
docket open before him, he rapid
lv filled in the answers given by
the eXpectant applicant until the
question, "Has the woman ever
been married 2" came, and tie re-
ply was eyes" "Give date of
death of her husband, "came next
and the answer was, she still
lives. Mr.. Harris then inquired
when divorce had been granted,
and was informed that no such
proceeding had ever been taken.
That settled 1t,
The docket went shut, the clerk
didn't get his half dollar, and Mr..
Adams bank account was short
about five dollars at the end of
the week

A CENT FOR A CENT.
How Squire Fore and Tom Johnston Got
Even with the Fair Man.

How Squire Fore and Tom Johnston Got
Even with the Fair Man.
Daniel e. Fore, of Tod town
ship, who has a fondness for col
lecting curios, showed us few
days ago a set of French coins
from the 1 centime piece worth
about one U. $. cent; to the franc
worth about 20 cents: also, 2,
a ), and a 10 centime piece.
They are not made Of silver as
our small coins; but of bronze,
and, OF course, much larger than
the corresponding U. S, com.
Mr.. Fore has also, nun ber of
curlously wrought medals pro
cured at the Worlds Fair and
tells how he and Tom Johnston
beat the man that fattened the
pennies.
The Squire and Tom were walk
ing through one Of the big Fair
buildings one day, when their at
tention was attracted by man
standing by curious looking ma
cnlne, calling out in lusty tones
"Give me cent, and I'll make
you a cent"
Tom said, Squire, we can t
lose anything at that game, here
goes," and Tom handed the man
a cent.
The latter placed it IN the ma.
chine which carried it between
two stout rollers, and when It
dropped out, it was as fiat as if
tramped on by an elephant and
had the impress of the building
stamped on 1t.
The operator handed it to Tom
saying, "Flve cents, please.
AS this was the first intimation
that there was a Give cents" in
it, Tom got on his ear, and the
man at the machine talked back,
and, if the Squire had not given
Tom nudge to come on, there is
no telling how soon the Fair man
would have been in the hospital.
When they were away some
distance, the Squire divided up
with Tom; for during the war Of
words, the Squire, had "swiped'
enough OF the flattened pennies
to recompense then for the annoy
ance.

MORE ABOUT PRONUNCIATION.
VIM. r. Hughes Refers TO Recent List
of Words Published in the News"
Philadelphia. Feb. 1s.


DEAR EDITOR "NEWS" S".-Re J.
ferring to the article on PRO.
nunciation in your issue of the
9th instant, will you permit me
to say that it is almost beyond be-
lief that any teacher should miss
twenty-five and the best one of
them no fewer than twelve of the
words gwen in the list. The words
themselves, are all right; they
might, with proprlety, be pro.
nounced to any body of teachers;
and, when it is considered that,
at least, eight of them are pro-
nounced in several ways, all of
which are correct, one might be
inclined to think that some teach
ers, at least, do not pay much at
tention to the names by which
words are called. Let US look at
the list of errors once more
The first twelve, namely, sac
rilegious, finances, deficit, come
ly, malay, chameleon, suit, coad-
jutor, caligraphy, matinee, sacri-
ticable, carbine, hymeneal, iugu-
lar, have but one pronunciation.
The eighth, caligraphy, is also
spelled with two Is and has a
different pronunciation.
The remainder, belial, bronchi-
tbs, exhausted, lenient, docile, cal
liope, isolated, debris, have each
two pronunciations.
Now, Mr.. Editor, your advice
to "read the list and then consult
the Dictionary" is highly com
meudable, and will no doubt, be
followed by many of the teachers
of the county, Boys and girls
could spell and pronounce better
two and three decades ago than
they can whose fault is it
Should not these branches, or.
thography and orthoepy, be all
the more emphasized now that the
range of school studies has so
much enlarged? | would be
pleased to read IN the "News"
what some of your teachers think
about this matter.
Very truly,
WILLIAM r. HUGHES.

Andrew Hoover.
JAMES S. AKERS,

Mr.. Andrew Hoover was born
in McConnellsburg on Washing
tons Birthday, 1912, and died in
the State Hospital at Harrisburg
last Friday morn ing, aged 63
years and 2 days. His remains
reached McConnellsburg Friday
evening, and the funeral was held
Arom the home Of his brother-ln.
law and sister Albert Stoner and
wife, at 1870 Saturday afternoon,
lnterment being made in the Re-
formed graveyard.
Mr.. Hoover was married about
80 years ago to Miss Eliza Miller,
of Licking Greek township, who
survives her husband as do the
following children: Prof. N. e..
NJ, U. S. g., Miss Daisy, Clar-
ence and Harrison; also, by the
following brothers and sisters;
John, of Hustontown, Pa; Chris
topher, of West Superior, Wis. !;
Mrs. Mary Mayne, of Fort Little
ton, and Matte Mrs. Albert Ston
err, of this place.
In 1872, Mr.. Hoover bought the
Joseph N. Woodcock property in
Taylor township, which was de-
stroyed by fire in 1883. He re-
built the mill, and the widow and
most of the family still reside
there Mr.. Hoover's health fail
ed few Years ago and for some
time had been in the Hospital,
where he died.

celled, as is attested to by the
fact that the company by which
l am employed, has an an ever in
creaslng number of orders for
cars designed for this class of
service. Loaded freight cars
could be easily handled by having
car equipped with heavy motors
and especially constructed for
this particular work; but for all
light material, or material IN small
quan titles, the express and bag
gage cars would give complete
satisfaction at a mere nominal
cost. People who have never en-
joyed the advantages afforded by
trolley lines cannot fully apprecl-
ate their convenience and COM
fort as well as the economy of
both time and money.
In event of such a road being
constructed, the wealth of the
adjacent communities would be
greatly increased, and many lines
of business which are now in par
tial ldleness, or have not vet had
their inception, would be estab
lis ed and operated steadily
thus creating a good opening for
labor and relieving the necessity
of the county's best young men
going to other fields in order to
secure adequate remuneration
for their services.
But If the people desire the es-
taolishment of line, they must
put their own shoulder to the
wheel" We all remember the
truthful old saying, Heaven
helps those who help themselves" "
and this rule is equally as appli.
cable to tins as any private enter
prise or undertl king. No outside
corporation will invest It's capital
in such an undertaking without
the assurance that 1T will have the
support of the farmers and busi.
ness men of the vicinity; and the
only way to express that assnr-
ance satisfactorily to promoters
is by their Investing freely in It's
stock. 1t would be preferable
that such an undertaking should
be financed and operated by cap
ital from the district deriving It's
benefits, as the people would ther
have double interest IN It's man
tainance, and would derive pro
fits from two sources. thus assur
ing it's success. In Fulton coun
ty there is an abundance of laten'
capital and plenty OF dormant en-
ergy to carry such an enterpris
to success 1t but an impulse Il
given to il IN the right direction
and kept there by determined OF
fort.

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.
James S. Akers Tells Something of the
City 10 Which He Went.

Texarkana. Ark.-Thinking a
few lines from the South might
be of interest to some of the read
ers of the News, and that you
northern people might find some
consolation in the fact that we are
having cold weather too, ! will
write a few lines. The cold wave
reached here February 18th,
Mercury reached zero the morn
ing Of the 18th, and has been
ranging from II to 30 above since.
The cold extended to the coast,
doing much damage to early fruits
and vegetables much of which
was ready for market.
We left Hancock, Novem Der 16,
1904, and arrived at st. Louis
next day at o'clock and visited
the Fair, which was grand. We
went from st. Louis to Mattoon,
Ill. visited relatives and friends
there, and also at Decatur, Blue
Mound, and Moweaqua.
One Of the many things that
attracted our attention while
crossing the western states was
the extensive area plantedin corn,
much of which was then yet in
IN the fields. Buyers were pay
Ing 80 cts. bushel, delivered at
the elevator.
Decem Der 6. we left Moweaqua
by the Illinois Central r. r., go.
ing to Centralia; thence by the
Cotton Belt r.. II. to Memphis,
Tenn; then transferred to the
Iron Mountain r.. h. and went
from there to Texarkana, Arkan-
sas, our destination.
TeXarkana is situated on the
line between Arkansas and Tex
as. One of its principal streets
is called Estate Line" "Uncle
Sam" has built a grand p. O.
building on the State line to ac-
comodate patrons on either side.
There are nine railroads. Tex
arkana has population of 25, 900
and is about evenly divided by
the State Line. Much rivalry eX-
lists between the two parts of the
city as to grand buildings, best
lighted streets, etc. 1t Is term
ed the Twin City, and has much
railroad traffic, and is called the
Gateway Of the South, in a rail
road sense. 1t has splendid bank
buildings, fine churches, school
buildings and many fine residenc-
es. Many people from the north
are coming here and locating.
About fourth of the State is
cleared and under cultivation.
Merchantable tim Der consists of
yellow pine, white oak, red oak,
post oak, bodock and hickory.
Work is plentiful and wages good
carpenters get from 81 to S34;
brlcklayers, S54 to 81 per day. |
hear the frogs croaking to-day
(Feb. 21st). tbs quite warm and
some gardening is being done.
Trusting that all readers of
your worthy paper are enjoying
good health and prosperity. l
