Let's Get Down to Business.

Let us get down to business Let
US lay politics on the shelf, and make
a long, strong pull for the industrial
features which help to bring Morgan
County and Versailles directly to the
front in every way possible. Our city
is now in the midst of a substantial
and prosperous era of progress, and it
is necessary tor our people to use
every means possible to keep things
moving forward. We have some
good features developing which will
do part toward making this an i'm
portant factor in the industrial world,
and we predict that not only will
there be something doing" in the
way OF manufacturing enterprises to
utilize our resources, but mining OPP
erations are getting into shape for
effective results, such as adequate
capital and frst-class machinery are
capable OF producing. These are
facts, and together with encourage
ment and proper push and energy by
every citizen, next year will develop
affairs on different lines and draw
outsiders to this field who have the
capital and are imbued with the will
to invest it. Keep things moving.
Bury the hammer that is likely to
show the faintest semblcnce of the
"knocking" propensities, get together
and work for the good of our city and
county generally, and success is sure
to repay the effort. The industrial
boom is on, and it rests with us all
to aid in increasing it in every legit-
innate channel.

Morgan County Apple Sale.

J. Clarence Ford, living six miles
northeast of Versailles, last week ship
ped car Of apples to the Shaw &
Richmond Produce Co. of St. Louis.
While the apple receipts in St. Louis
at the time Mr.. Ford shipped were
enormous, and his shipment was sent
against the judgment of friends, the
venture proved agreeable.
There were 24,0OO pounds of APP
pies in the car, the varieties being
Ganos and Ben Davis. Mr.. Ford
showed us a letter from the commits
sion company, which showed that the
Ganos topped the market, selling at
81. 10 per barrel, and the Ren Davis
sold at 500 per barrel.
. In acknowledging the receipt of
the consignment, the company took
occasion to say that these apples were
among the finest they had handled
during this season, and were ready
sale, the only objection offered was
that they were little over-ripe. Had
I'LL the surplus apples of this county
been disposed of at the above prices,
it would have brought large sum of
money to our fruit men which would
have added to their prosperous condi-
ton. Mr.. Ford, by little nerve, is
the gamer in the transaction.

The Elections.

Election returns reached Versailles
very slowly, nothing very definite
from many of the states as late as
Thursday morning.
Hearst was beaten in New York.
Hughes being elected by about co.
000. The lieutenant governor on the
Republican ticket is also probably
elected. The Democrats claim the
balance OF the state ticket.
Oklahoma went Democratic by a
large majority, and they will run
things in the new state for a while.
Missouri went Democratic by sew
eral thousand on the state ticket. and
elected twelve of the sixteen congress-
men, and the Legislature is probably
Democratic, which should mean U.
5. Senator Folk.
St. Louis went Republican, elect
ing the entire ticket by good major
tiles.
Harris, the Democratic candidate
for governor of Kansas, is possibly
elected. The balance of the ticket is
Republican,.
The Iowa Republican ticket go,
through.by a squeeze.
While the Democrats made some
gains on congressman, they failed to
secure majority, SO the G.. O. p.
will continue to dish out Prosperity
from the same old stand for another
two years.
From the latest reports it is though,
that Arkansaw and Texas have both
gone Democratic.

TRADE AT HOME.

We agree with the Moultrie Observer
in its remarks enforcing the patriotic
duty OF patronizlng the Stores at home.
1t has become quite habit with q
number of Marietta people to shop in
Atlanta and with mail order houses:
"The ladies may argue that they
can not find the assortment here that
they find elsewhere; but will the local
merchants ever be able to carry big
assortment until they get the patron
age of the home people? When you
buy from local milliner you enable
her to carry larger line, because you
increase her trade. When you and
others of wealth buy in Atlanta you
restrict the trade of the local dealers
to cheap goods and you cannot expect
them to carry better assortment
THE rule applies further to garden
and farm products that are raised in
the country. We have seen Eastern
syrup retail here for two dollars q gal
Ion and more, while the best Georgia
cane syrup in cans-the best on the
market-may be bought at fifty cents
gallon.
Cultivate the habit OF buying at
your home, and train yourself in patri-
otto lines, so that you can really be-
lieve that the home product is the best
and worthy of your patronage even if
at is not quite the style"
