certainly Why not?"
One woman said: Under no cir
cumstances. Nothing ever justihes us
in forgetting our Womanliness." An
other: Eyes, indeed. In fact, / pro-
posed to my husband. l saw that he
was in love with me, but that he
thought that we could not afford to be
married. knew that we could, and
so proposed to him." Another: "Of
course women should propose. They
are much better judges of character
than men, more intuitive and spirit
ual." Another: eff women proposed,
there would be fewer unhappy mar
riages. AS things are, men can choose
from their entire set Of women. Wom-

a Good Turn to the Young

AN old customer of mine from the
interior of the state came to town
a few days ago." said a Philadelphia
wholesaler, "and after leaving his
order for the goods he asked the priv

write a letter. I took him to one of
the typists and told her to get his let

worked over 1t for half an hour. Then
the man came back to me with his let

over his shoulder, that If she'll pay
little more attention to her spelling
she'll come out at the top of the heap.
Tell her in a way not to hurt her

Quakers Increasing.

While so many Of the churches are
deploring falling-off in membership,
the Society Of Friends In this country
has been increasing for many years
past, and now, for the first time in
many generations, the increase is at
a greater rate than that Of the gen.
eral population. During the last dec
ade the population advanced by 10.9
per cent, while the increase in the
membership of the Society of Friends
was 13 per cent. There is a consid-
cradle excess of women over men in
the membership, and the proportion of
women shows a tendency to increase.

Mr.. Editor:
Will you kindly allow an old Veteran
little space in your valuable paper
to say few words in regard to the
recent reunion held in your city. 1t
happened to be my good fortune with
two other comrades, to be assigned to
the hospitable home of Mr.. B. A. Os-
bern, an old Confederate Veteran and
gentleman OF the true Southern type.
At his hands, assisted by his good
Wife, we were accorded every comfort
chat heart could wish. All honor to
the good people OF Marietta, and es-
pecially to Miss Rambo, who used ev-
cry effort in their power to make us
have a good time. | say hoorah, for
the little Gem City of North Georgia,
for she justly deserves the blue rib
bon in the way she entertained her
visitors, every moment of the time
was one continuous round of pleasure
and enjoyment. 1t won't be long until
we all shall have passed the last mile
post, and have folded our arms to an
swer the last roll call, but until then
the pleasant memories of the Mariet-
ia reunion will remain in our hearts.

Through the State
Paid Secretary Of State
Largest Fee Ever Received
n That Office

Judging from reports the Midland
Continental railroad is already proving
quite a success. Notwithstanding the fact
that it consists OF but 40 miles of line,
and il the completed road pans out any
thing like that part which has Just been
constructed, there is nothing short OF a
mint that will equal it.
For several years the men promoting
the enterprise have struggled along and
the progress has been very slow. This
summer they succeeded in completing
40 miles of road and began operating
the same. During the month Of Oclo-
Der thus far the road has made $4,000
and the possibilities have opened to that
extent that the company has increased
its capital stock from $l.5OO,OOO to &c.
0O0, 1000.
In the beginning the company was in
%corporated in South Dakota. A few
weeks ago deed was registered with
the secretary of STATE from the Midland
Continental Company of South Dakota
to the Midland Continental Company OF
I'll Oak. for the rightofway il Stuts-
man and LaMoure counties, the company
having made a separate corporation for
each state as is customary with some
roads.
Following this the company yesterday
filed its articles increasing the capital
stock from Sl,5OO,00V to $1,000 0eO, and
with it the Certificate Of Amendment of
Articles Of Incorporation, authorizing
the issuance of bonds, and a trust deed
from the company to the Continental
and Commercial Trust and Savings
Bank and John Jay Abbott. Trustee.
The fee for this was paid the secrc-
tary of state yesterday and amounted
to $2,322.25, one, of the largest incorpor-
alton fees ever paid in the state:
This line will extend practically north
and south through the state, from Penn
bina in the extreme northeastern corr1er
to Forbes on the south state line. in
Dickey county west OF Edgeley. The
construction was commenced at Ellen
dale and is extended north through La
Moure county. 1t will be pretty well
along to Jamestown by the time the
present season closes.
There is considerable speculation as

valued at $1,000.
