When it comes to describing
houses and lands the up-to-dat;
real estate agent is “strictly in it.”
That is, if there is anything in the
following clipping from an ex
change :
“A Jasper county, Mo., farmer
paid a high tribute to the literary
talents of a Carthage real estate
agent the other day. He decided
to sell his place and got a real es
tate agent to write the notice.
When the agent read the notice
to him he said : ‘Read that again.’
After the second reading he said :
‘I believe I’ll not sell. I’ve been
looking for a place of that kind all
my life, and didn’t know I had it
until you described it to me.’ ”
A Farmer Straightened Out.
“A man living on a farm near
here came in a short time ago com
pletely doubled up with rheuma
tism. I handed him a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and told
him to use it freely and if not sat
isfied after using it he need not
pay a cent for it,” says C. P. Ray
der, of Pattens Mills, N. Y. “A
few days later he walked into the
store as straight as a string and
handed me a dollar saying, ‘give
me another bottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. I want it in the house
all the time for it cured me.’ ”

Editor Early County News :
The young crops are looking
pretty since the recent rains.
Mr. Z. Barnett is very sick at
this writing. We hope for him a
speedy recovery.
Some people are so busy looking
for trouble that they can’t see the
sun shine in the faces of their
friends 4
Mr. John Williams, of Spooner,
accompanied by his mother and
sister, .Miss Tell, attended the clos
ing exercises of Springfield school
Friday.
Last Friday afternoon a com
pany of young people met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Hill,
where they were delightfully en
tertained by some good music.
Many thanks to Messrs. Hill and
Collins for making it.
We haven’t been to Blakely be
fore Saturday in nearly six months.
We heard a chronic grumbler say
some time ago that it was dead.
If this be true it is the liveliest
corpse that we ever saw.
While in Blakely last Saturday
we called around to see the News
man. The machinery was in oper
ation and everything, from the of
fice cat to the editor, as busy as
Trojans. The editor cheerfully
showed us how the machinery was
manipulated. Surely the News is
well fitted up.
Our school at Springfield, after
a term of ten months, closed on
May 8. The patrons and friends
of the school came out with well
filled dinner baskets and spent the
day with us. A very good aver
age attendance has been made for a
country school. For the last three
months Miss Coral Hammack, of
Blakely, has been connected with
the school as teacher. We believe
that every patron will join us in
thanking her for her faithful ser
vices and for her unceasing efforts
for the betterment of the school.

very sick for some time is still im
proving.
Rev. W. A. McDonald preached
quite an impressive sermon last
Sunday evening at Springfield
church.
Prof. Walter Crumbley visited
our school closing last Friday and
made us a short speech, which was
to the point.
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Newberry
recently visited their sister, Mrs.
Dave Smith, of Colquitt, who is
very 6ick with blood poison.
Prof. C. A. Crumbley made his
way up to Blakely last Saturday
to see his home folks for a few
days. He will resume his work
again. He will teach a five
months school at Jacksonville, just
across the line in Miller county.
Miss Coral Hammack returned
home Saturday. She was assist
ant teacher in our school. We
give her the praise for her good
and mannerly way of teaching.
She advanced the little ones ex
ceedingly fast. Miss Hammack is
one of Blakely’s most esteemed
young ladies. She is due all the
praise we are able to render.
Well, we must say something
about our public roads. We think
the road machines are the best tools
there is to work roads with if they
are put at it. Where are they?
We have not seen cor heard of
them in some time. We are in
favor of the machines, if they are
put to work. Our roads in this
neck needs working badly.
Our school closed last Friday in
perfect peace and harmony. There
hasn’t been the least trouble in
our school nor community about it.
Prof. Crumbley says this is the best
neighborhood he ever taught in.
He says that he has been teaching
for some time, but he had the least
confusion he ever had before.
We are surely proud of it. We
are glad to have the praise. We
do congratulate him for his services
of the past. We hope he will de
cide to teach for us next term.

A Little Early Riser
now and then, at bedtime will cure
constipation, biliousness and liver
troubles. DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers are famous little pills that
cure by arousing the secretions,
moving the bowels gently,yet effec
tually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stom
ach and liver that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely, and if
their use is continued for a few
days, there will be no return of the
complaint. Sold by L. C. Strong.
