COMING AGAIN.
The Schubert Symphony Club on
Maroh lOtll.
One of the most pleasing enter.
Ininiiients ever given in Cednrtown
was that of the Schubert 8ymphony
Club, which appeared here a few
years ago under the auspices of the
Cherokeo Club. They had a large
audience then, and everybody was
delighted.
It will therelore be good news to
our people Dial the Cedartown Fire
Department has secured this splendid
company for a return engagement,
and that they will appear at the
ISaugli Opera IIouhc on Saturday
evening, March 10th.
Rev. Homer T. Wilson, tho noted
lecturer of Fori Worth, Tex., says ol
the Schubert’s: "Their entertain
ment is tlrst-class—will please, de
light anil uplift the most fastidious
audience.” Among their warm
friends the Schubert Symphony Club
number the leading ministers of the
United Stales, as well as the better
element of citizens everywhere.
The quality of their entertainment
is such that it receives the hearty en
dorsement and co-operation of
people who seldom venture to attend
a performance of any kind. A little
wholesome amusement occasionally
is necessary to the moral, physical
and Intellectual wollareof any com
munity. A little relaxation, a “for
getting of ourselves” for a time, is a
cheap tonic and can be had by at
tending the Schubert concert.
You can contribute much to your
own enjoyment and can aid the Fire
Department at the same time by at
tending this splendid entertainment.

The Only Sate Way 1* to Heed the Warning. Jonn*ton’« Sarsaparilla
1 la the Most Powerful Blood Purifier Known.
Nature, in her efforts to correct mistakes, which mistakes have come from
careless living, or it may be from ancestors, shoots out pimples, blotches and
other imperfections on the skin, as a warning that more serious troubles (per
haps tumors, cancers, erysipelas or pulmonary diseases) are certain to follow if
you neglect to heed the warning ana correct the mistakes.
* Many a lingering, painful disease and many an early death hasbeen avoided
simply because these notes of warning have been heeded and the blood kept
pure by a right use of JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA.
Miss Abbie J. Rande, of Marshall, Mich., writes:
” I was cured of a bad humor nftcr suffering with it for five years. The
doctors and my friends said it was salt rheum. It came out on my head, neck
and ears and then on my whole body. I was perfectly raw with it. What I
suffered during those five years, is no use telling. Nobody would believe me If

newcomer In Africa has many
surprises. A. B. Lloyd, the author of
'Dwarf Land and Cannibal Country,”
narrates an amusing little experience
of his own In purchasing a donkey In
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
menus an easy task. Of courso each
one bad to be tried, ns we were to use
them for riding purposes, and In the
course of the work we had various ex
periences. I had set my mind upon a
lino ftfmnle donkey and took her out
for an afternoon’s ride. I shall not
forget It. At llrst when I mounted her
she would not move, In spite of nil
my most tender persuasions, and Anal
ly she begun to back.
Now, the streets of Zanzibar aro very
narrow, and coming up behind me was
a large bullock wagon. My sweet tem
pered donkey backed right on to the
is of the bullocks. Then It was uo
longer n case of urnklug her go, but of
making lier stop.
Away she flew, right nlong the Nnzn
Mojn road, and nothing i could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact, I soon tired of trying nud let her
On she went, right In among tho
cocoanut trees, regardless of every
thing until she came to a steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense, uud 1 decided to
keep her.
<iueer Oath*.
The Isle of Man, like the soldier In
Jacque’s familiar speech, Is "full of
strauge oaths.” Mr. Sliee, Q. 0., before
beginning his Judicial duties as special
commissioner In connection with the
Duubell ense was required to swear
that ho would administer Justice ns
Impartially "as the herring's backbone
doth lie In the middle of the fish.” The
Isle of Man Is not the only place In the
world In which the animal kingdom
plays a part In tho making of oaths.
One of the many mhdes In which Chi
nese witnesses are Impressed with
the Importance of telling the truth Is
slicing off the bead of a fowl, a cere
mony which Is supposed to represent
the unhappy fate of the perjurer. Many
Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers'
skins, In the belief that If they defile
their Ups with lies their bodies will
become food for tigers, while others
stand on lizards’ skins and ask that
their bodies shall be covered with the
scales of the reptiles If they fall to tell
the truth. A Norwegian witness asks
that his meadows and cattle shall be
cursed If he swears falsely. "Cursed
be my cattle,” he exclaims, "my beasts,
my sheep, so that after this day they
may never thrive or benefit me; yea,
cursed may I be and everything l pos
sess.”—London Globe.
Knew He Loved Her. y
Mrs. Duncan Stewart described Lady
Beaconsfleld as originally a factory
girL Mr. Lewis first saw her going to
her factory, beautiful' and with bare
feet. He educated her and married
her, died and left her very rich, and
then she married Disraeli. When ask
ed why she murrled her second bus
baud, she would say, as If It was a
feather In her cap. "My dear, he made
love to me while my first husband whs
alive, and therefore 1 knew that he
really loved me.” — Augustus J. C.

efficient tutelage of Rev. G. B. Homan

flourishing condition. The number of

she has so long needed, a good school-
house and a thoroughly good school.
A Short. Funny Tale.
"What Is an anecdote. Johnny?" ask
ed the teacher.
"A short, funny tale.” answered the
little fellow.
"That’s right," said the teacher.
"Now. Johnny, you may write a sen

word.”
Johnny hesitated a moment and then
wrote this:
"A rabbit has four legs and one an

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to tho public
to know of one oonoorn in the land who
are not afraid to be generons to the
needy and suffering. The proprietors
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con

away over ten million trial bottles of
this great inedioine; and have the satis
faction of knowing it has absolutely
oured thousands of hopeless oases.

Too Harried.
A "tenderfoot" wlio was trying Ilia
luck on a western raucli was at first
horrified by the table etiquette which
prevailed unions Ills associates.
One dny his feelings evidently enmo
so near Hie surface that a cowboy
whose performances wllh a table knife
of utiustinl size had aroused the ten
derfoot’s amazement, paused with an
other knlferul of food hair way to Ills
lips.
"Wlmt's the matter?’’ Inquired the
cowboy with disconcerting promptness.

answered.
“Ah—er-nothlng." hastily responded
the tonderfooL
"Look here,” cried the cowboy, with
nil accompanying thump of Ills un

you to understand that I've got man-
ners. but I haven’t time to use 'em-
that’s all!"-- Youth's Companion.
