Cotton coming up at last. Crops are looking some better. Gardens looking better every day. This is a great world to live in, ain’t it? Wasn’t that a nice rain Saturday afternoon? Ye editor will have plenty of roasting-ears in a few days. Crab grass is just a humping, but Mr. Farmer will slay him. Uncle Sam is going after those who failed to register June sth. The farmers are puttting in railrod time in the field, and don’t you forget it. County papers are SI.OO to 1.50 a year every where except in Forsyth county. Have you bought you one of those liberty bonds yet? They are a good investment. Newsprint paper is still away up in the air, and we would like to see it take a tumble. If you owe ur anything on subscription we will appreciate it if you will come in and pay us. This German war is not a plaything, by any means, but Uncle Sam’s men will win the fight. The high postage rate put on newspapers by the government will put a lot of them out of bus iness. Sixty thousand people were killed in an earth quake in San Salvador, South America, last Fri day. The food speculators are grinding the life blood out of Ihe poor people this year. It’s a shame. Nine hundred and twenty three million dollars have already been loaned to the allies by the Un ited States. We certainly need a soiled road to Buford or some other point on the Southern railroad. Will we get it this year? Corn meal is now $2.40 a bushel. Chances for country newspaper editors to get pallegra is getting slimmer. You don’t have to pay any taxes on the liberty bonds. They pay you the interest on them ev ery six months. The expenses for the state of Georgia for the past twelve months has been $ 434,240 more than the revenue. The Georgia legislature will face a big prob lni in financing the state when they meet the last Wednesday in this month Representative Park has introduced a bill in congress to disfranchise every person who failed to register on June sth. A Forsyth county boy was on the ship that sank the submarine last week. Lest you forget, you can’t down this old county. The citizens of Atlanta are going to ask the Legislature to amend their charter again. Hard to please Atlanta, to be sure. The News contains more home set matter ev ery week than nearly any other paper in North Georgia, yet it sells for 75c a year. An amendment to require a revenue stamp on all checks for more than five dollars has been written in the war revenue tax bill. If the postage rate on papers is passed the postage on a subscription will cost us more in a year from now than paper upon which we print the News. Let’s get busy and build a soiled road to Bu ford or some other point on the railroad, and show the world that we are living in a good and up-to-the-minute county. A FEW LINES FROM JOHNNIE SPENCER. MACON TELEGRAPH. That San Salvador earthquake must be trying to make our tornadoes jealous. If all days in June are to be like yesterday they can’t be any too rare to suit us. As we understand it, our soldiers boys are go ing abroad to take part in a clean up campaign. Mrs Emma Hit is in Owensboro visiting her son William Crash.—Evansville News. Mary Yelling Lease is said to be in Russia. Does that explain everything? And can it be that Champ Clark’s trusty shot gun jammed? Our notion of a genius is a chap who knows what a railroad time table is talking about. See where the Confederate Vetrans will meet next year in Tusla, Oklahoma. Hut that’s not as far away as the South Sea Islands, at that. Why call David Lamar the “wolf of Wall Street” when “buzzard” would come nearer de scribing him? Biff Murphy says he knows he’ll never get as many Georgia peaches as he wants because there aren’t that many Georgia peaches. Biff Murphy says he might get by the high cost of living if he could just keep from leaving half the stuff he buys on a seat in a street car. The Rev. F. O. Wilson took as the text of his Memorial Day sermon Sunday the ninth verse of the nineteenth chapter of Mark-Jerseyville (111) Republican According to the Berlin newspapers, the Lib erty Loan has fallen flat. We, however, haven’t for some time believed everything printed in the Berlin newspapers. “Rev. Percy Billings” the New Church of En glewood, 111., announces, “preached his farewell sermon May 27 and has ceased to be our pastor. We are planning for for a picnic soon." “No more tin cans, except for food,” announ ces Secretary Redfield. ‘S all right, of course, but we’ll have to be very nearly famished before we’ll ever eat a tin can.

News: “To whom it may concern: I don’t want nobody to slander my f ife, as I can attend to my own affairs. Harvesting the wheat in this county will not be much of a job. The levy for state taxes this year will be five mills. It would be more than that if the law would allow it. Affidavits and warrant forms have been pre pared by the District Attorney for all those who failed to register, William Bratt, a manufacture of Holland, says that the war will end. in two or three months We hope to goodness he is right. An effort will be made to repeal the tax equal ization law at the coming session of the Legisla ture. This will be good news to some. The government has raised the first draft of men from five hundred thousand to one million. Uncle Sam means business in this fight. One hundred and thirty cars of Georgia peach es have been shipped to the north this season, but none of them were sent from this section. Secretary Daniels of the Navy says that in formation is being leaked to Germany by some one, and has put all officers and men under strict secrecy. There will be no new bridge across the Chat tahoochee at Roswell. The Commissioners of Fulton and Cobb say that the present structure will last ten years yet. There will be several efforts made in the co ming legislature to create new counties. If they were to create ten thousand of ’em the state of Georgia wouldn’t be a bit bigger. Dr. St Elmo Bishop, confined in the jail at Augusta as a German spy, has agreed to disclose the entire teuton spy system if the government will release him. They are thinking abou taking him up. Senator Hardwick will come to Georgia Sep tember Ist and open his campaign for the Uni ted States Senate. Rather early, but Bro. Hard wick will have hard sailing to be re-elected and he knows it.

Deafness Cannot Be Cure<? by local •applications, as they* cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only cno way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.
