COTTON CROP SPLENDID
IN THOMAS COUNTY.

Thomasyil!e Ga, August 12.-The
opening of the cotton season shows
that King Cotton is still holding his
own in South Georgia and all indica-
lions point to one of the best crops
of the f1eecy staple that Thomas coun-
ty has had in years.
The acreage in cotton in this coun-
ty is a fifth larger than last year and
the cotton itself is in much better
condition and the yield per acre will
show up a good deal larger. The very
hot sunshine of the early part of the
week has caused it to open up rapid
ly and picking soon will be on in earn
est Already many of the country rails
ed negroes have gone back to de
cotton patch" and people are com
planning of the loss Of cooks, garden
ers, etc. Picking cotton means good
cash money and the negro ito the
manor born finds it a great tempta-
ton to spend a few weeks at the oc-
cupation to which he or she was rails
ed and in that way come back to town
with lot of money TO spend.

Turning Out TaliaferrOS.
New York Tribune.)

Senator Rayner, the wit Of the Sem

story of the South.
"A Northerner," he said, was sur
prised during a Southern tour by the
number of TaliaferrOs he found every
where. Doctors, lawyers, undertakers,
clothiers-all seemed to be Taliafer-
ros. The Northerner, put up in nearly
every town at Hotel Taliaferro, and
if he wanted a cigar a Taliaferro sold
it to him.
He couldn't understand it at all
till one day, motoring through a
splendid country, he saw a tremend-
Gus mill that bore in vast letters the
inscription "Taliaferro Manufacturing
Company"
"'Oho, said he, so they turn them
out by steam!"

Her eyes are big and soft and blue,
Her mouth is like a budding rose;
An artist would be glad to view
Her delicately chisled nose;
She has a wealth of FURNISHED hair,
And men agree that she is fair;
But whisper-she turns in her toes.
Her voice is like the pleasing sound
He makes upon his reed who plays;
Her arms are soft and white and
round,
Her face would win a cynic's praise,
The kind fates blessed her at her
birth;
But where her tracks show in the
earth
Their points are like the letter AZ.
Her smiles urg- men to knightly deeds
Her signing causes me to dare,
And if she walks where Virtue leads
She walks in pigeon-fashion there;
Her case is one which plainly shows
That though a girl turns in her toes
She still may be divinely fair.
