Fill the cup up to the brim,
Drink it with a hearty vim,
For we wish long life to him

The oilier fellow’s chance is slim,
When lie tries to sprint with him —
Cousin Jim!

May Defeat’s lank visage grim
Never shadow cast on him,
May lie always keep in trim—
Cousin Jim!
Fill up the cup tor Cousin Jim,
May naught o’er bis laurels dim;
Fill it to the very rim,
For we’ll bet our wealth on him—

A SNAKE TALE.
She was a jolly summer girl
Out for a little stroll.
Sho paced the banks of Cedar Creek,
But stopped before a knoll.
For thereupon the knoll there lay,
Closo coiled, with lightning tongue.
Bight at iier loot a moccasin—
With shrieks tiie echoes rung!
The girl swift turned, drew up her
“cheeks,”
Displayed bor “stockin’ trade,”
And from that snake-infested spot

And as lie saiv her lieo away,
The snake this wish did make,
That instead of being a “moccasin”
He were a “garter snake.”

In the State Democratic primary
Tuesday, Judge Geo. F, Goiter in the
Blue Bidge and Judge A-IV. Fite in
the Cherokee Circuit were re-elected
to the bench. They have many friends
in Polk who congratulate them on
their success at the polls.
The following complimentary notice
appeared in a recent issue of the At-
taila (Ala.) Mirror:—“Cedartown,Ga.,
is today one of the coming • towns of
the South. What is the cause? Why,
her citizens are men of ambition and
pride; they are not a “satisfied’’ people,
they want their town to gfow;,and she
is growing.”
Memorial ceremonies will be held on

and to all the old veterans who have
answered the roll call “on the other
side of the river.”
If our bird-killing boys would con
fine their slaughter to English spar
rows, they would notonly gratify their
own instincts but would do a service
to the country. It is deplorable how
rapidly the boys and the sparrows to
gether are driving out the song-birds
so dear to everyone, and the insect-
eating birds so valuable to the farmer
and gardener.
The State Democratic primary held
Tuesday in Georgia was without inci
dent. There was a small vote every
where, save in those counties with
contests. In Polk county less than 100
votes were polled—85 ip Cedartown
and 0 in Esom Hill, or 01 in all. The
farmers were busy, and there was a
general lack of interest on account of
no contests to bring out a full vote.
Nay, nay, the small vote Tuesday i
the Democratic primary does not
mean that those are all the Democrats
in Polk county—not on your tin-type,
it don’t! Yet it would be just as sen
sible to claim that it did, as to say that
the :J00 who voted for the white
primary were all the white primary
men in Polk county. If anybody had
fought it openly, they would quickly
have learned the overwhelming senti

ble Shape.
Another $25,000 enterprise for Ce
dartown is a certainty!
i he cottonseed oil-mill which The
tandard has exploited heretofore as
one of the future acquisitions of this
C1 J has passed from the realm of
probabilities to the status of a reality,
an the beginning of its construction
marks another step in the onward
strides of our progressive city.
A few weeks ago Judge C. G. Janes
granted a charter to the incorporators,
and a meeting of the stockholders was
held io ibi s c jty J a st g a t ur( ] a y i a t
which an organization was effected.
A splendid set 'of executive officers
were chosen to manage the business of
the mill, and from its personnel below
it will be seen that the success of the
enterprise is already assured : —
THE OFFICIALS.
President and GeiieraUManager—J.
E. Houseal.
Vice-President—E. Van Wi nkle.
Secretary and Treasurer—L. S. Led
better.
Board of Directors—E. VanWinkle,
II. M. Wilkinson and Ed. VanWinkle,
of Atlauta, E. T. McGhee and J. A.
Wynn,of Rome, and J. E. Houseal and
L. S. Ledbetter, of Cedartown.
The company has in its local officers
two well known and prominent citi
zens. Mr. Houseal, the president and
general manager, is Polk’s efficient
County School Commissioner, and Dr.
Ledbetter, the secretary and treasurer,
is Cedartown’s popular Chief Execu
tive. Both gentlemen are progressive,
have good business ability, and their
associates will find in them wide
awake oflicials who will guard well
the interests of the mill.
Following close oh the regular or
ganization of the corporation, the
Messrs. VanWinkle came up Tuesday
from Atlanta to help inaugurate the
work of construction.
The main building for tbe mill has
been used for the past year by tbe
Cedartown Cotton Company as a ware
house for the storage of their cotton
supply, but recently tbe cotton has
been removed and the building is now
ready for use by the oil mill people.
At a temporary organization some
weeks since, an order was placed for
the machinery, and the visit of Messrs.
VanWinkle was to prepare for the
early arrival of that machinery. The
building is located in Eastview, near
the E. & W. and C. B. & S. railroads,
and is the brick bouse formerly oc
cupied by the wholesale grocery firm
of J. S. Stubbs & Co. This building is
ample in size for tile main bodyof ma
chinery, and was marked off Tuesday
for the big presses soon to be placed.
Adjacent rooms will be built at once
for the big boiler and the 150 horse
power Corliss engine, and a large seed
house and stock room also are to be
constructed. Tile buildings will be
hurried up as fast as possible, and the
plant will be ready for business just as
soon as the gins begin to turn out cot
ton seed.
The Cedartown Cotton Oil Mill is
going to be one of the best equipped in
the whole country. Every piece* of
machinery is to be the very best and of
the very latest patents'and designs.
Everything up-to-date in tile suc
cessful manufacture of cottonseed oil
is to be employed by this mill, and
Mr. VanWinkle, himself a large ma
chinery manufacturer, vouches for the
pledge that no mill in the South, what
ever its size, sliall excel the model
plant he is establishing here.
Aside from the splendid equipment
with which the mill starts out, the
character and financial standing of
tlie projectors doubly assure its suc
cess. The gentlemen who are non
resident stockholders denn the enter
prise such a good investment for their
money that capital of any amount is
not wanting with them to carry
forward the mill to its full develop
ment.
Then, too, there are a number of
local gentlemen interested in the
company wiiose financial standing is a
guarantee that the enterprise can be
nothing short of success. Among the
large stockholders here are Capt. T. M.
Face, Col. W.C. Bunn,Mr. J.S. Stubbs,
Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, Mr. J.E. Houseal,
besides several other gentlemen who
are smaller shareholders. Another
encouraging feature of the mill’s pros
pects is that a number of business men
and large farmers over the county are
interested in the plant, and their
identification adds materially to its
strong backing.
Every farmer in Folk and adjoining
counties should save his cotton seed
for this mill, and aid in every way

THE BA UGH-ZIMMERMAN BAND
SHOULD BE EQUIPPED
With Neat Uniforms—Our Citizens
Should See to It at Once.
Cedartown Secures the.Tournament Cedartown has in the Baugh-Zim-
merman Band an organization of
for Next Year.
Col. J. K. Dayis Complimented by
Election as Vice President
of the Association.
Cedartown sent a fine array of prize
winners yesterday to the big Firemen’s
Tournament at Gadsden, Ala.
Chief Chas. Van Wood and Delegate
J. H. Sanders went over Tuesday after
noon to attend tbe preliminary business
meeting of tbe Association, and to see
that everything was in readiness for tbe
boys on their arrival there yesterday
morning.
Dr. J. A. Liddel', the popular Coun
cilman from the Second Ward, also went
over Tuesday to bear the invitation of
the city government, in conjunction
with our fire department, for the tour
nament next year to he held in Cedar
town.
A message was received from Gadsden
yesterday morning, announcing that
this invitation has been accepted, and—
Cedartown will have the Tournament
next year!
This means that Cedartown will have
to get a “double hump” on herself next
spring, for Cedartown never does any
thing by halves, and must not begin to
do so with such an organization as the
North Georgia and Alabama Volunteer
Firemen’s Association, in which our
own firemen play such a very prominent
part.
A telegram announces the re-election
of Mr. John Norris, oi Cartersville, as
president of the Association; Col. J. K.
Davis, of Cedartown, was elected vice
president; and Mr. Hamilton, of Dal
ton, secretary-treasurer. The host of
friends of Col. Davis congratulate him
on the compliment thus bestowed.
About twenty-five of onr gallant fire
men went over to Gadsden yesterday
morning to participate in the tourna
ment and its festivities. They went
over on a special train kindly arranged
by Col. Ball on the East & West, the
Cartersville and Dalton companies go
ing on the the same train.
Gadsden is taking care of the visiting
firemen in great shape, and has an en
joyable program arranged for their en
tertainment. The big parade of the fire
department took place at 2 o’clock yes
terday afternoon, followed by the lad
der-climbing contest (1st prize, $10; 2d
prize, $5,) and foot races (prizes, $5
and $2 50.) There was a big hall at the
Frintnp House last night and another
at Nochalula Falls.
At 0 o’clock this morning tho firemen
will enjoy an excursion to Noohalnla
Falls, and the big contests of the tour
nament—in which Cedartown hopes
again to distinguish herself—begin at
2 o’clock this afternoon. The races and
prizes are as follows:—
Shoo Fly Test; first prize $15, second
prize $7.50.
Hose Reel, Water Test; first prize
$25, second prize $10.
Siamese Connection Test, rnn 100
yards; first prize $15, second prize $10.
Grab Test; first prize $15, second
prize $5.
Horse Races, two-horse reel or wagon
race, run 200 yards; first prize $50 in
gold, second prize $25 in gold.
There will be a big banquet at 0
o’clock tonight at the Frintnp House,
when the prizes will be awarded, and
some time during the night our boys
will get home on the special E. & W.
train.
The Standard voices the sentiment
of the entire community in the wish
that our popular and gallant firemen
may bring back with them tonight the
lion’s share of the prizes. The hoys
are in fine trim and excellent training,
and we confidently predict that they
will prove.viotors in most of the con
tests.
Here’s hick to you, hoys!
which we can all be justly proud. Its
members are good musicians who are
getting themselves into excellent
training, and they have a fine set of
instruments.
As will b“ seen from the following
subscription list, the Band is indebted
in the main to the liberality of gentle
men residing elsewhere but who have
nterests here:—
Daniel Baugh, Philadelphia... $100.00
Eugene Zimmerman, New York 100 00
City of Cedartown 100.00
Universal Winding Co., Provi
dence 50 00
C. W. Smith 25.00
Dr. J. A. Liddell 1000
T.'F. Burbank 500
J. K. Davis 5 00
Russell & Coleman ... 5.00
Collins & Son 5 00
Dr. W. A. Chapman 250

Marshall R. Hudson.:f!$2f. a .... 2.00
Mrs. M. A. Booz 100
E. A. Lowry 100
Sam Peek (col.) 50
It will be seen that while a nunlber
of our citizens have contributed to
ward the purchase of instrments,
comparatively few have “come across”
out of tbe number who could and
should have done so.
But tbe boys should have nice uni
forms.
And this will give tbpse who have
not already contributed a good oppor
tunity to do so.
A good band is a fine thing for any
town, and that is just what Cedartown
has; but it would give better satis-
facton to both themselves and the
town if they could appear in nice
uniforms.
Who will be the first to help this
good work along and set the ball
a-rolling?
CFNSUS ENUMERATORS.
An Excellent List oi' Callable Men
for Pollt.
Commissions are now being issued
by Census Supervisor G. D. Anderson
of Marietta, to the enumerators ap
pointed by him for the Seventh Con
gressional District. He has made
some exceptionally good selections in
Polk, as will be seen from the follow
ing list: B. T. Sewell, J. C. Walker,
C. J. Turner, C. R. Pittman, Lonnie
Casey and C.' R. Brumby, of Cedar
town: L. J. Spinks and Walter P.
Jones, of Rockmart; J. Sam Davitte.
of Davitte’s; G. B. Boman, of Esom
Hill; S. C. Dean, of Walthall; David
Reynolds, of Lake Greek.
In tlie assignment of territory, the
Supervisor has given the city of Ce
dartown to Mr. Sewell, and the militia
possible this local plant. Being lo-1 district outside of the city is par-
cated near their homes, affordin
ready market easy of access for their
seed and eontributingits capital to the
taxable values of our county,the enter
prise should and will have the hearty
support- and friendly co-operation of
all our citizens—farmers, merchants
and business men of all classes.
Another fact about this enterprise is
that while the company starts out
with $25,000 of capital, it is the pur
pose of the organizers to add a fertil
izer factory and possibly an ice plant,
and with the success of the mill, a
cotton factory is among its possibili
ties.
The building of this factory will be
the means of bringing to Cedartown
two more families—Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
VanWinkle, of Atlanta, and Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Wynn, of Rome.
Mr. Edward VanWinkle, son of Mr.
E. VanWinkle, the wealthy, cotton gin
and machinery manufacturer of At
lanta, is coming here to assume charge
of the practical operation of the mill.
Jle is a graduate of the State Techno
logical School, and has gained a valu
able personal knowledge of machinery
an ,l the conduct of mills that fits him
admirably for tbe work of supervision.

A Good Woman Passes Away to Her
Long Reward.
Tbe Baptist church has suffered
heavily by death during the past two
years, and last week another of its
best members and one of the most esti
mable ladies in the community bade
farewell to her earthly home and went
to the “house of many mansions.”
After long and patient suffer!ng from
a malignant tumor, Mrs. G. A. Lane
passed peacefully away last Thursday
morning, death finding her ready and
willing to obey the summons.
Octavia, daughter of Mr. anil Mrs.
N. F. Cobb, was born July 3d, 1853,
and all her life has been spent in this
vicinity, where she was well known
and generally beloved. She was hap
pily married Dec. 19th, 1870, to Mr.
G. A. Lane, who with their three
children—Mr. Albert, Miss Ethel and
little Mary—mourn the great loss of a
devoted and loving wife and mother.
For twenty-five years Mrs. Lane lias
been an earnest member of the Baptist
church', exemplifying in her life all the
Christian virtues—faithful and conse
crated in every word and work.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Baptist church Saturday morning
by her pastor, Rev. C. K. nenderson,
who gave a touching discourse in tlie
presence of a large congregation of
relatives and friends of tlie deceased.
The heart-broken family have the
sympathy of a large circle of friends
in their great bereavement.

Mother’s
Friend
Mr. C. M. Duke, a staunch white
primary man of Berry’s, was in town
Tuesday, after a protracted illness.
You know all
about it. The ..
rush, the M
worry, the li
exhaustion.
You go about
’ i th a great
weight resting upon
(rou. You can’t throw
otf this feeling. You
are a slave to your work.
Sleep fails, and-you are
on the verge of nervous
exhaustion.
What is to be done?
Take
sarsaparilla
fi. For fifty years it has
' been lifting up the dls- J
couraged, giving rest to
the overworked, and
bringing refreshing sleep
to the depressed.
No other Sarsaparilla
approaches it. In age
and in cures, “Ayer’s”is
“the leader of them all.”
It was old before other
sarsapariilas were born.
Sl.00 a bottle. All druggists.

• I have used Ayer’s medicines for
more than 40 years and have said
from tlie very shirt that yon made
life when l first t
the best medicines in the world.
r Sarsaparilla saved my
‘ook it 40 years ago.
. 70 and am never
without your medicines.”

will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sirtmgss and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of
a few days.
Druggists sell Mother's Friend for $1 a bottle.

TELL THEM
Then tell them again for fear they’ll
forget. Where you need 10 gallons of
any other paint to paint a house, 6
gallons of L. & M. mixed with 4 gal
lons linseed oil will do the work better
than with white lead. Add cost of
paint and oil and see how cheaply
you’ve bought 10 gallons of paint. T.
