There is nothing better under the sun than for a man to enjoy the fruits of his labor. A change of diet is essential to good health, and of all diets, fruits are the most palatable and the most healthy. Fruits were the only diet provided for Adam and Eve, and while part was forbidden them, nothing is de nied us, but we may feast our ap petites year in and year out, if we but judiciously select and buy trees, etc., from a well-known and strictly i eliable Nursery—one whose honesty and fair dealing is thoroughly estab lished in the South-Atlantic and Gulf States. The proof of the pudding is tast ing it; in like manner, men who bought nursery stock from the At lanta Nurseries 15 or 20 years ago, will tell you that they never patron ized a nursery that gave them better satisfaction. The Atlanta Nurstries deals not in second-hand stock ; but keeps, and has in stock now, an immense stock of fruit, ornamental and ever-green trees, small fruit-, flowering shrubs and roses, all of which have been INSPECTED BY The Entomologist Georgia State Experi ment Station, and have been found free from ALL diseases and insect pests. The salesman can not see all the people in the county this season, but he respectfully solicits the trade of the people in Hall and its frontiers make your wants known by mail, and they will receive cheerful and prompt attention. Special discounts given on all orders for 500 trees, or more than that number. P. B. SIMMONS, GAINESVILLE. CA. Salesman for the Atlanta Nurseries. SpeciaLSale of Men’s Shirts, Collars and Cuffs. When the season has just begun and buying is at its height, it may seem unwise to lower prices. Now, if ever, is the time for profit. We, however, prefer to maintain our motto, “Quick Sales.” and in order to close out quick ly the remainder of our exceedingly heavy early purchase of Shirts, we offer AT 50 CENTS AbqgJL 50 d*«zen Negligee attached Collars and Cuffs $ large assortment colors ; fine Percales, worth $1 anywhere. About bO dozen soft bosom, white neck and r i cuff bSnd, handsomest line of patterns in the State, and Wt to be bad anywhere for less than sl.

DOZIER, Real Estate and Insurance, No. 1, State Bank Building, opposite Post-cffice. Pointed Paragraphs. . 1 The unsalaried office always has to seek the man. An old h< n never fears opposition from the egg-plant. Some men ever respect the things they are unable to understand. No woman is ever as young as she expects others to think she looks. The man who chews clover is nev er quite free from the breath of sus picion. The less energy a man has the easier it is for him to drift into mat rimony. The life of a chorus girl can’t be so very wearing, judging from her apparel. It isn’t pride that makes the gal lery gods look down on the rest of the audience. A justice of the peace is the only peace connected with some matrimo nial experiments. The only way a man can find out just what a woman really thinks of him is to make her angry. The peacemaker is all right, but he is never appreciated by the man who is getting the best of it. Ice cream may be unhealthy, but the motive of the young man who tries to prove it to his girl friends is apt to be miscontrued. It’s easy for the man who has no credit to keep out of debt. A defective hammock has caused many fond lovers to fall out. Some men manage to talk a great deal without saying anything. Every dog has his day, but the cat has a monopoly on the nights. The turtle may be slow, but he usually gets there in time for the soup. A woman seldom cares anything about the answers to questions she asks. The man who seeks damages in court is sure to get what he’s looking for. Nothing makes a woman so mad as having something to say and no one to listen. An old maid says she never mar ried because she couldn’t find a man to suitor? ' , * Taking time by the forelock causes lo’.s of worry about things that never happen. About two thirds of the credit a man gets for doing things rightly be longs to others. Out of evil comes good. The ap ple that Eve ate has given employ ment to thousands of tailors and dressmakers. The man who invests in green goods must want money bad. What men call firmness in them selves they call contrariness in others. The man who is employed by his wife’s father don’t worry about los ing his job. It’s a curious auamoly of war that both contending parties are always in the right. Men and clotheslines become un steady when they have too many sheets in the wind. When the average young man graduates from college he knows more than he ever will in the future. Went Loaded for Sinners. We are reliably imformed that a man who sometimes occupies the pulpit, residing in the upper portion of the county, went to a certain place of worship some nights ago with a load of bottles filled with liquor, which he sold out to the boys before services commenced. When he got through he went and preached ano after concluding bunted up the empty bottles where he had hid them and left for home. Os course he had a good sized congregation, and always will on such occasions. —Dahlonega Nugget. - It used to be that grog was regu larly issued to the crew of a man of war, but it is so no longer. In these days of machine guns and compli cated firing apparatus, to say nothing of the general complex mechanism of i a warship, he is the best sailor who drinks the least. Instead of giving men whisky or rum to diink amid the excitement of battle, they are now supplied with oatmeal waler or something of that sort. Clear brains and undimmed eyes are necessary to hit targets at a distance of miles, and there has been such increase of indi vidual responsibility that the less liquor there is aboard the better the work of the crew. And as it is in the navy, so is it in the army and in all branches of human industry and enterprise. The man who can ab stain is the man to whom preference is given. Thus the temperance ques tion is working out its own solution through the evolution of new condi tions. #1 .OO Per Annum in Advance. STRANGE SCAVENGERS. How the Markets of Charleston Are Kept Clean. Charleston has the most primitive and peculiar scavengers in the world. Hundreds—it seems thou sands—of carrion crows or buzzards in the very early morning swoop down upon the historical old city from the tall palm, or palmetto, for ests which skirt the western sub urbs. In the waking hours any passen ger entering Charleston on the Co lumbia express can see huge black lumps fall from the trees about. They never hit the ground. Out in the open these black lumps gather in a struggling flock and flop their way over toward the custom house. They are buzzards. While the twi light is yet gray these vulgar birds go to the city market and infest it for an hour or two. The passenger who was startled by their dull flop from their palmetto perches and saw great black clouds of them move across the low rice flats can, if he goes to the market place, see the same birds, disgustingly tame, run ning about the stall flows of the meat mart, fighting with the hunger of dogs of the city for the bones and waste which fall from the butchers’ meat block. A stranger who did not appreciate the health value of these buzzards is liable to kill one of them. Then he is liable to be fined $lO, for the city does not allow its curious scav enger birds to be destroyed with im punity. The Charleston market is a noted place in the south. It runs from Market street to the water's edge and is the main thoroughfare for the crowd of pedestrians who come and go from the harbor boats. It is a novel sight to see the hurrying feet of workmen threading their way care fully among these wild birds gath ered there by the hundreds. Like domestic chickens, they stand about and, like domestic dogs, they watch for every piece of waste as it is drop ped from a meat block. One would hardly think, as he pushes the big birds out of the way, that these same feathered things roost in the forest and are tame nowhere else. In the markets they never attempt to steal meat from the counter. Going through the three or four blocks of the big market one morn ing, the writer counted over 300 of these buzzards walking about as nonchalantly as though it was their own poultry yard. They will not get out of your way. They fight ev ery dog or cat that attempts to run is opposition and will scramble.with a man or a child who competes with them for a fallen scrap of meat But they keep the Charleston markets clean—perfectly clean. As a result of their thorough scavenger work this is the cleanest and healthiest meat market in the world. In consideration of their assistance in keeping the city clean the muni cipal council has made it an offense to injure or kill one of them. An offender not only has to pay a $lO fine, but usually gets a free lecture on the laws of health and the value of the buzzards as assistant mem bers of the local board of health. By an hour after sunrise the birds have all left the city. It is for this reason that the visitor to the city, who usually gets up after that hour and strolls out later, never sees this extraordinary sight of wild birds acting as market scavengers.—• Washington Star. Once Considered Insane. Some interesting news about the enlistments of recruits to the Ninth have been going the rounds. One of the assistant surgeons of the Ninth gave a young man a rigid physical examination, under orders, as the young man was not thought to be a desirable recruit. After the applicant’s weight and height had been ascertained, and the color of his hair and eyes noted, the dialogue between surgeon and pros pective recruit went on as follows : “Were you ever rejected for life insurance ?” “No.” “Have you ever given up an oc cupation on account of your health or habits ?” “No.” “Are you subject to dizziness ?” “No.” “To fluttering heart, pain in chest, coid in the head, shortness of breath, severe headache?” “No.” “Have you had fits?” “No.” “Nor stiff joints?” “No.” “Sunstroke ?” “No.” “Have you ever been considered insane ?” “Yes, sir.” “What’s that you saj?” asked the surgeon, scratching out the “No” that he had written in anticipation of a negative answer. “Well, I guess it’s all right,” re plied the recruit. “My mother said that I was insane tonight when I told her I was going to enlist. As I had got tired of saying ‘No’ I just thought I’d mention it.” Men convinced against their will are of the same opinion still, but no woman is ever convinced that way. A man’s success often depends on his ability to prevent others from preventing it. NUMBER 25. CHE ANNUAL COMPLAINT. Again there’s sound of scrubbing, Again the floors are bare, And soap and whitewash odors Are floating through the air. There's trouble in the kitchen. Confusion in the hall, For women are housecleaning. They do it every fall. A chunk cf soap and bucket Are lurking on the stairs. And woe to weary hubby Who’s taken unawares. There's paint in rash profusion, But it is never seen Until the clothes are showing Big stains of brown or green. Tacks here and there are scattered. And words we can’t repeat Are heard when they are sticking In some poor victim's feet. The furniture is shifted To unaccustomed place, And in the dusk it bruises The unsuspecting face. On clotheslines heavy carpets In dusty silence hang; Put there for worried hubby To pull and turn and bang. In vain he makes excuses, Complains of pain in head. For they must all be dusted Before he goes to bed. There's little time for cooking, And hungry wights must wait In spite of all their protests Against a meal so late. And should we ask the reason Os anger 'niong the men We get this explanation— “ They’re cleaning house again,'*’ —Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. CH RISTOPHER wTc K FIN. One of Colonel Calliper’s Old Time Friends In Storkville Center. “After he had lost one umbrella in that way,” said Colonel Calliper, “my old friend Christopher Wick fin, who formerly resided in Stork ville Center, Vt.» made up his mind that he’d never lose another—that is, by having it turned inside out— and he rigged up an arrangement to prevent it. This was a pretty elaborate sort of thing in its de tails, but in operation it was ex tremely simple. “In those days almost every man in Storkville Center—and for that matter many men in larger places, too —wore boots. Mr. Wickfin’s um brella was of stout cotton, with whalebone ribs; that was when whalebone was cheap and before the advent of the modern umbrella rib of channel steel. To the tip of every rib of his umbrella Mr. Wick fin attached a ring. He wore around his body a belt, to which were at tached as many cords as there were ribs to his umbrella. At the end of each cord was a snap hook which he snapped into its ring at the end of an umbrella rib. From the belt on each side of the body a stout cord was carried down and run through the boot strap on that side and then brought up and fastened to the belt, at a little distance from the other end, so as to distribute the strain. Thus equipped; Mr. Wickfin was prepared to keep his umbrella from being blown inside out by any storm thai. might come along. The idea that the wind might pick him up and carry him and the umbrella and everything off together never oc curred to him, but that was just what happened on the very first day he tried it. “It was a tremendous rainy day, with the wind blowing a gale and with gusts now and then that it seemed would blow the roofs off the houses. But that was the sort of day Mr. Wickfin wanted, and he set out for the postoflice with all his rigging in place, feeling secure and easy and proud of the victory that he had gained over the elements. As he walked along Main street, carrying his umbrella with the ropes coming down all around and converging at his waist, he present ed a queer sight, but a moment later he presented a sight far more re markable. A great gust that came roaring down the street doubled un der Mr. Wickfin’s umbrella and lift ed him off the earth and carried him skyward. Storkville Center at one time and another had seen many strange sights, but never any quite so strange as that. “Mr. Wickfin let go of his umbrel la, but the umbrella wouldn’t let go of him. It carried him up on the wings of the wind, while all Stork ville Center looked on at him sway ing helpless beneath it. But the wind was merciful to him. After carrving him up and down and round about for a minute or two it dropped him through the top of a greenhouse. He smashed more glass and frame than four umbrellas would have cost, but he escaped without injury to himself, and for that he was thankful. “Well, after that experience Mr. Wickfin made up his mind that, while the thing was all right in principle, it needed some improve ment, and he fixed an attachment to the belt by means of which he could, when he felt the wind lifting him, cast off all the ropes and let the umbrella go. Theoretically thia was all right; in practice, when the test came, the tie ropes jammed on both sides before he could get them loose, and up he went again. Then he hit upon a plan that would no doubt have worked perfectly: His own weight was 160 pounds; he ad justed all the ropes to a breaking strain of 150, so that under that pressure the umbrella would free itself from him automatically, but he never put this plan in operation. By the time he had worked this out he had discovered that there are many things that could be done that are not worth the doing.”—New York Sun. Pat’s Way. One day an Irishman was taking a walk in a small town near Glas gow when he met an old friend. After walking along the road to gether Pat’s friend said to him, “Have you heard the latest news?” Pat—No. What is it? “There’s a penny off the loaf." Pat—Bedad, and I hope it is off the penny ones I —London Tit-Bits.
