NEW TRANSPORTATION
TOR THE PREACHERS.
The Southern Railway Will Kjproafter
Issuo Interchangeable Permits
for Clergymen.
Hereafter ministers of the gospel
will not find it necessary to possess
themselves of half a dozen clergy
permits in order to travel over the
railways of the Southern states at
the reduced rates which are usually
granted them.
Beginning' January 7, 1908, the
Southern railway will become a
member of the Southeastern clergy
bureau. This bureau coders all of
the railway lines south of! the Potomac
and Ohio rivers and oast of
j the Mississippi river.
Hereitofore the Southern railway
has issued a clergy permit, good only
on the lines of the Southern railway,
and it has been ncce^ary for
ministers to have two clergy books.
Alter the first of th<j yen.1 it will
only bo necessary for a minister to
carry the Southeastern clergy hook
and he can ride on any of |b<> hies
in the south, at 2 cents per miio.
These clergy permits are issued by
Mr. Joseph Richardson, chairman of
the Southeastern clergy bureau, Atlanta,
(la., and a charge of $1 is
made to cover the cost of" printing,
por-inge, etc. This arrangement is
quite a convenience to the ministers
who have much traveling to do, as
it saves their carrying so many permits.
Granderbone's Deccember Forecast.
(Copyright 1907 by C. II. Riet'li.)
Docember of the drifting snow
And yule-log blasting bright;
December, when the cold winds blow
Across the fields of white;
AY hen winter's ring is in the ground
And the nights are clear and still,
And (he boys go belly-busier down
The slick and shiny bill.
December of the Christmas Iree
And childhood's brighest dream;
December of the ecstaey
Of hallowed Christmas e'en;
When the last sweet lullaby is sung
And children's whispers ce^se,
And the wee sweet stockings all are
strung
Along the mantel-piece.
December of the drum and horn
And bundles slyly hid;
December of the one great morn
Of mornings for a kid;
When the chimes of sweet and mellow
bells
A re welcoming, the drawn,
And the house rocks with the merry
yells
Of kids with nighties on.
December was the ninth month in
the old Ramon calendar, and its
name is from decern (ten). When
Julius Censor became Bi?f Stick of
tlie. empire, the month contained but
twenty-nine days. lie added two
more?one more to make ready for
Christmas, and another to recover
from it. Christmas gifls originated
with the Creeks, lloncc thd* saying,
''Beware of the Creeks bearing
gifts." Santa Clans was invented by
the toy ninaufaeturers of Ncuremhurg,
Cermany, where the Teddy
Hears came from.
The motto for this month will be,
&'r., ''Shut the door!" Mr. Roosevelt
'\niut" lb'. Bryan will be the leading
presidential candidates, and prohibition
will continue the burning issue.
TfXo liquor interests will build walls
aro'jmd Peoria, III., St. Louis, Louisville
and Milwaukee, and their war
balloon will make daily observations
of the movement's of Mrs. Nation.
The Anti Saloon League has consented
to let I he Winter Solstice of
this year begin at p. m. on the 22nd;
but there must be no drinking, and
every one must be in by Curfew.
The 21st will bo the shortest day in
, the year. This will bo on Saturday,
R and if you are at church next day and
?} stay for the sermon, you will notice
that the 22nd is much longer.
|i , The moon will be full on the 19th,
and the sign of the zodiac for the
month will bo Caprciornus the Coal.
This will make butter go up, and send
g' kids to Sunday school.
Tho old mill pond will freeze again,
And every one will skate;
E: Tho mollycoddle, modest swain,
jCHL Will thither go with Kate.
Sho'll slip in such a way that' sho
|Rgi Will see a brilliant star,
Km And he will deeply blush to see
H How long her stockings are.
Tire money scare will quiet down
H?unhappy circumstance?and money
HjHwill frequent again tho pockets of our
MBeSu'),'in(s. The new gold coirs they're
^^^Hnaking now without- "Tn Cod We
BH^HVust," will turn up in the hat at

Prosperity, Dec. .r>.?Tuesda
(icorgian had an editorial tl
"struck" us very forcibly wh
we take pleasure in giving to i
readers of The Herald and News.
A banker said a few days a;
"The farmer is a fool to hold
cotton like he is doing." A lit
later a big merchant, said the farn
was to blame for the panic in mor
because he had not sold his eott
and judging from what else they s,n
the cotton grower is to blame
'everything that has happened fr
Wall street down.
Now we arc willing to admit <1
more money would have been in (
eulafjion and moro notos paid at I
hank if the entire hundred milli
dollars worth of Georgia cotton alt
had been turned loose and the mor
going its rounds of duty, but le
see whether the farmer is a fool a
to blame for everything because
wants to get as much as he can
11is cotton.
We find the labor union man wo
ing for a set figure; tliere is no rpi
tion raised as to paying it; he c
not cut the price and stay in i
S ' r '
iml union. Yon want his services. So ! "-j
I ho you ]>ay what lie asks. You, the coning
sumer, did not fix the price; he, the
producer, did. That man is not :>
till tool for so doing, is lie 1
he (Jo to that banker's hank and "3k
[he to borrow #">,000. .'lie asl vK per
of cent, good security and good Kdorselier
ment. "Can't pay you l>ut 4, Mr. as
the Banker," you say. P> you get it tj,
ad, for 4? is the hanker a fool?well, of
icr hardly.
(1?- Now letgo into that merchant's j)r
ex- store a minute. \Yu pick out $200 M
worth of goods, and say: Mr. Merin
chant, times have heen pretty hard j,,
his lor ihe past sixty days; I can only re
ew pay you $17.") for the goods." "We
:* have hut one price, sir; and it is
cs. marked plainly on everything we sell, su
up I am surprised von should ; k it, ' "r
ed en! it," replies the merchant.

dealy the owner vacated il and Mr.
fill a New York cotton specula- ^
1 tor moved in. paying .$700 a month ?
rent. The stable was not big pi
enough, so another was rented near 111
by and .$2,000 spent in altering it to ^
suit his wishes for the little time he
,c wanted it. Thirteen !:rrsos and a D
dry.cn or so carriages came out. Something
like ten servants came, and
finally his automobile that was of
I'taliau make and cosl every penny
> 1 1 The gentleman went into
New York every morning to gather
Lr?C 'l(1 could from the sweat of
1 U ''nmv and the already poverty of
j! the man who grew the cotton,
We were down in South (1 corgi a
recently. A lit lie shack marks the j i
? home place wiiere a famiTv has strug- j);
gled for years to extract enough cot- w
l^" ton from the soil to keep body and n,
n soul together. The family grew and, ff
ai_ with ])raetically no, educational ad- ;0
a" vantages at hand, was compelled to
rs; o'i'ow in ignorance. The oldest boy g
ind became a man, a crude farmer.
1SG The spark of pride and manhood
RK- that had lain dormant through the
u'> years sought to glow and burn in his ,4
t'10 breast. Finally he made a tri|? to a[(?
1111" city and saw what there was in j x
knowledge and enlightenment and !
his ambition gave him unrest. He u
left the farm long enough in the win- i\,
ters to prepare himself for a college i!
i 111 I?
course; borrowed the money with )n
ot>s which lie paid his tuition and gave ,n
ial his lote for it. lie struggled through !
,u" college and graduated; then he tried j
to get a place in a law oflice, hoping \ i(,
nal 1(l (ljn.M onongli lo pay back the moil- j -j
r?u ey promptly, but no one seemed lo:
u*- uiV(. ],jm (.|,an(,0> n,. taught school: :
"n" won his way: finally married and has | ^
'K1 hi< own little ones around him.
"Now many (Jeorgia hoys have been j
