I THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION !
Blakely, Ga., May 21, 1925.
Judge Frank Park, former Con
gressman from the Second district,
has moved to Hollywood, Fla., where
he will engage in the practice of
law.
o
The Blakely schools are nearing
the close of the Spring term. The
small boy grows impatient as the
time for closing draws nearer. The
lure of the old swimming hole, the
baseball diamond and other sports
grows irresistible at this time of
the year.
o
Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the
new German president, in his inaug
ural address, pledges himself to a
program of peace and prosperity for
his country. The old war-horse has
announced that he will know no
boss, and that he will give the peo
ple the best there is in him.
o
Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
has announced that he will probably
not stand for re-election next year.
We are thus to be deprived of the
pleasure of seeing the Senator re
ceive a “licking,” a pleasure which
we had anticipated for some time.
No doubt the Alabamian sees the
handwriting on the wall.
o
The only man to receive a govern
ment pension for more than 75 years
was the late James Q. Thomas, a
Mexican war veteran, of Mansfield.
111., records at Washington, D. C.,
indicate. Thomas enlisted at 17 ]
and was discharged on account of
disability. His pension began with
>8 a month in 1819 and at his death
was $72 a month. He collected al
together >22,046.23.

Clarence Errow, noted for his
ability to defeat the ends of justice ]
in the courts of this country, has {
volunteered his services to defend
the Tennessee professor who has r
been charged with breaking the
law by teaching “evolution” in the'
State supported schools. The reason
given was because Mr. Bryan had
volunteered his services on the
other side. If anything were want
ing to establish Darrow’s descent
from the monkey family, he has
furnished it.

■ O
One Washington newspaper writer ]
characterizes President Coolidge as
a “politician." While the American
prople seemed to give the executive
a vote of endorsement at the last |
election, some of the politics played
by the president certainly does not
meet with their endorsement. The
prosec-ation (persecution) of Senator
"Wheeler, the nomination of Warren
for attorney general (which nomina
tion was rejected by the United
States Senate) and the appointment
of Frank B. Kellogg as Secretary
of State are some of the things which
Mr. Coolidge has done that don't
exactly suit the taste of Americans
who are jealous of their nation’s rep
utation.
THOUGHT FOR THE SKEPTICAL.
A New York woman, the wife of
Rev. John Dennis Hammond, a Meth
odist minister, left a letter to her
children, to be read after her death.
She said:
“Dear Children— I’ve just made
my will, and this is to tell you what
I want done with my personal be
longings. Don’t keep anything just
because it was mine; they are just
i things, and worn and shabby at that ;
love doesn’t need such things for re
membrance.
“Most of my books are old and
many of them I haven’t looked into
in years. I have loved and kept them
because they have enlarged my life.
Henry is to have them and my Bible,
typewriter and Verdun vase.
*‘l won’t be separated from any of
you, dear children . I’ll just be closer
to God and will understand better the
ways in which prayers and faith can
open ways through which God can
help you and I’ll be able at least to
love you with all my heart and with
out anything in that love that will
make you feel as if I wanted to con
trol you or bother you.
“Bury my body as cheaply as you
can and forget it. Don’t wear mourn
ing, unless of course, ‘Lynx’ wants to.
And think of me as alive, alive be
yond your farthest thought, and near,
and loving you, and well at last, far
as the winds of heaven and learning
more and more the things I want to
know and growing more toward what
God wants me to become.
“I think, maybe, John will have our
home ready when I come and we’ll
have a real home at last.
“Love one another. Hold fast to that
whether you understand one another
or not, and remember nothing really
matters except being kind to one
another and to the world as far as
you can reach.
“Your Lovingest Mother.”
Agnostics and Mo-dern-ists and oth
er scoffers can make no headway
against such a faith as is displayed in
this dying mother’s farewell letter
to her children.
o
KING GEORGE UPSETS LONDON.
When George V„ King of Great
Britain, appeared the other day and
read the opening address! at the
Wembley exhibition, he fairly upset
the even run of London life.
The reason for this was that His
Majesty was wearing a pair of
hornrimmed American eye glasses.
This American type of glasses has
been the butt of much humor and
sarcasm by cartoonists in London
newspapers, as well as in private
Therefore when the British King
appeared wearing these glasses he
entirely upset London town. The
move is also taken as a gesture
towards cementing the relations of
the great English speaking nations.
o
Full Directions.
The chemist was becoming wear
ied. He had been explaining and
pricing dozens of articles to the
shopper, who didn’t really want to
buy anything at all. Finally she
picked up a bottle.
“Is this Pest Exterminator relia
ble?” she asked. “How is it ap
plied?"
“You take a tablespoonful every
half-hour, ma'am,” the chemist re
plied, with fiendish emphasis.
No more questions were asked. —
Tit-Bits (London).
o
The Last Word.
Wife: “Don’t you dare to speak
to me again for a month.”
Husband: “Do you think you’ll
have finished all you want to say
by then?"—Passing Show (London).

languid, half-sick, “blue” and discouraged
ana think they are getting lazy. Neglect
of these symptoms might result in a sick

take a dose or two of Herbine. It is just
the medicine needed to purify the system
and restore the vim and ambition of
health. Price 60c. Sold by
