Mr. Hawkes has a splendid way
of impressing upon his hearers the
importance and the gems of his
lecture. We believe it impossible
to hear him without being better
therefor. He created laughter in
those who had seldom laughed be¬
fore and therefore thawed out or
loosened up some of those old so¬
ber-sides who are a menace to con¬
genial society.—Uvioneille, Mo.,

Ready Built Fencing
Some of the Points That have
Made it Highly Popular.
Woven steel wire fences are tak¬
ing the place of every other kind
because the right sort of a woven
wire fence is found to possess more
durability and greater economy
than any o'-her fence that can be
bought or built. The Ellwood
Steel Wire Fence is one of the
kind referred to. It comes ready
built froiti the factory in rolls, all
ready to stretch and staple, and
even if it were possible to build a
fence just as good with a hand
machine—which it is not—-the sav¬
in g in labor and cost would more
than tip the scales in favor of the
ready-built fence.
This handy fencing can be bought
in six different heights, from 18
inch to 58 inch and in a variety of
styles, from highly ornamental
lawn fences to the strong and sim¬
ple field fencing and a fine mesh
for poultry enclosures. It has a dia¬
mond-shaped mesh that is small
near the ground, giving crops ex¬
tra good protection against pigs
and chickens. It is sold by dealers
in all parts of the country and
should be examined by every one
interested in buying a fence that
fences at a low price.
To Amend the Charter.
Some time ago the Record an¬
nounced that a motion would be
made by the council, looking to the
amendment ot the city charter.
The proposition was to change the
number of councilmen from five to
six, and change the manner of
electing them. In the proceedings
of the council published last week,
the following amendment was read
and passed :
On motion it was ordered that the
Mayor have sec Jon 4 of the Charter
of the City of Toccoa changed or amend¬
ed so as to have six councilmen instead
of five, and at the first annual election
the three councilmen receiving the
highest number of votes shall serve for
two years and the three next afterjjsaid highest
shall serve for one Jyear, and
first annual election that only three
councilmen be elected each year to
serve two ysars until their successors
are elected and qualified.

lovely young woman and leaves

the remains were buried.—Clarkes¬
ville Advertiser.

To the Public.—I have frequent¬
ly listened to, laughed at and en¬
joy the renditions of A. W. Hawks.
His fun and philosophy leave a
good taste in his mouth and I am
always ready for more of the sort
he gives. Sometimes he makes
me cry, but whether I laugh or cry
I enjoy every word he says, and his
ugly faces makes me laugh myself
sore. He is naturally pretty, but
artificially ugly. Best of all he is
an all arounr good fellow.
Sincerely yours, Sam P. Jones.
Mr. Hawks was greeted with a
large audieuce. It was an appre¬
ciative one and many a spontaneous
laugh went up as the lecturer told
a funny anecdote. Sometimes he
would tell a pathetic story and
then the tears would come, but the
anecdotes predominanted and there
were more laughs than tears.—

The Faded Coat of Grey.
(Written for the Record.)
It was upon a sweet summer day
not very long ago,
I noticed my dear grandmother,
her steps seemed rather slow
Her voice was strangely husky,
her e} T es with tears would fill
So that I really feared she had
been taken ill,
I sought her poor heart to cheer by
kindly word and deed
But to all my loving kindness
she gave but little heed,
But when grandfather from his
work came home he sat down
by her side,
And asked her why she looked
so sad, and thus she replied,
“Well, John, I have been feeling
so very sad today
Because I have been looking at a
faded coat of grey.
My mind runs back some thirty
years ago
When our darling boy, Willie,
fell at the battle of Shiloh,
In the thickest of the battle, amid
carnage and strife,
He gave up his brave and pre¬
cious young life ;
But John, when I get to thinking
it seems but yesterday
When Willie first put on his new
Confederate grey,
And with his gun upon his shoul¬
der and a goodbye kiss for me
He marched away to the front to
join the Gallant Lee,
He looked very much a soldier, so
handsome and brave was he
Twas no wonder they elected
him captain of his company,
Well, do I remember John, when
I put a Bible in his hand,
And bade him Godspeed to fight
for his dear Southland.
But,John,here is an old letter from
a comrade who stood by Willies
side
And heard his last request before
our darling died;
‘Take this coat and Bible and send
them home to mother dear
And tell her for her Willie she
need not have a fear,
For this same book that gave her
comfort in the years gone by
Is a comfort to her soldier boy, now
that he has to die.*
And with this last request his
spirit took its flight
Away from a world of sorrow to
one of love and light,
But sometimes I think, John, we
ought not to be grieving so
Because it will not be very long be¬
fore we will be called to go,
To meet our darling Willie upon
the golden shore
Where cruel wars and sad partings
are felt and feared no more,
But with Jesus and our loved
ones we shall so happy be
And bask in sweetest pleasures
through an endless eternity.
—Luther C. Breckinridge.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
'Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
. emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their pioper work.

A Certain Cure for Dysentery and
Diarrhoea.
•‘Some years ago I was one of a
party that intended making a long
bicycle trip,” says F. L. Taylor, of
New Albany, Bradford county,Pa.
“I was taken suddenly ill with
diarrhoea,and was about to give up
the trip, when Editor VY r ard, of the
Laceyville Messenger, suggested
that I take a dose of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem¬
edy. JI purchased a bottle and took
two doses, one before starting and
one on the route. I made the trip
successfully and never felt any ill
effect. Again last summer I was
almost completely run down with
an attack of dysentery. I bought a
bottle of this same remedy and this
time one dose cured me.” For sale
by E. R. Davis & Co.
The friends of Captain and Mrs.
William Berry sympathize with
them in the loss of their baby. The
little one had been sick some time
but on Sunday was eased from pain
and carried to the home above.
The interment was at Bethlehem,
where the services were conducted
by Mr. E. M. Vance.—Clarkesville
Advertiser.
Mr. T. H. Ellard will run an

order will be maintained and all
who go are assured a pleasant

The grand jury, in their present¬
ments published in last week’s
Record, “presents all roadcommis-
sioners and road authorities of the
incorporated towns of the countv,”
on account of the bad condition of
the public roads in the county.
This is good, so far as it goes, but
it does not go far enough. The
authorities should be compelled to
put the roads in good condition.

Mr. Editor—Allow me to speak
a few words in favor of Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy. I suffered

could not sleep at nights. I tried
several doctors and various patent
medicines,but could get nothing to
give me any relief until my wife
got a bottle of this valuable medi¬
cine,which has completely relieved
me.—W.S.Brockman,Bagnell,Mo.
This remedy is for sale by E. R.
