WOMAN
IS LUCE A DELEGATE
MUSICAL IMSTRUMEMT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and sings life's song on a Joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
is one key note to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings a:; to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can‘t be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health Is
of the first importance. Every other con
sideration should give way before it. Brad-
field's Female Regulator is a medicine foi
women’s ills. It is
thesafestandquick*

gA Tragedy Recalled.
Our readers will readily recall
the sad tragedy cd the 2nd of last
December, when Emmet Simlns
wan shot down on one of our pub
lic streets. On the same day. or
night, a fine gun, carrying the
same shot with which Simms was
killed, was takeu from the rear of
Mr. Thomas' drug store. This gun
belonged to Mr. Hamilton Frazier,
of the Piney Woods hotel. The
gup, during the long and search
ing investigation of the Simms
murder, was hunted for high and
low, as it was thought by some
that the murderer used Frazier’s
gun
Bailiff Martin has been on the
lookout for that gun for a year,
and on 8unday was rewarded by
finding it. It was in tbs posses
sion of Georgs Baekio, a negro
liying beyond the cemetery. Bas
kin save he fonnd the gun, in the
case, lying in the middle of tb*
road, just beyond where Mr.
John Simmons lived at the time.
He is not positive as to tbe date,
but says it was last December
He gave Mr. Martin tbe name of
reliable wituess whom he says
was with him wbeu be fouod the
gun. Whether it was tbe gun
which killed Simms, and, if so,
who used it, will probably remain
a secret locked up in tbe breast of
the murderer.

About Tree Planting
Tbe city atborities are going to
plant out a number of shade trees
Io view of this fact, the following,
takeu from tbe Macon Telegraph
the subject, may be of some
value, aud furnish some poiuters
worth considering about tree plant
ing:
Capt. B. D. Lumsden. who has
had much experience iu setting
out uative shade trees, gives tbe
following as bis obrei vatious and
experience; No\ ember or Decern
ber is too early to eet out the shade
trees Tbe leaves have scarcely
been shed. The sap is still io the
trees, aud if trausplanted at this
season, they are more liable to die
than if eet out later. Tbe Iasi of
January and daring February has
proven tbe best time, as I have pul
out trees upon a guarantee of their
ing.
‘•Cut off all split and mangled
roots. Cut off tops with a sharp
sxe in a standing way.
Io taking up the trees, if they
are larger than 2£ inches iu diam
eter. mark tbe north side, so they
can be replanted as they grew in
tbe forest, it is a fact v.ell known
to rail splitters and board goiters,
that tbe north side of a tree is the
hardest and toughest^
M 1 uotice tnauy trees now being
set out in our city. As a year
makee considerable difference in a
tree, and we wish them to live, it
would be to our interest to have
them set out a little later in the
season."
There appears to be pretty good
reasons for the course suggested
by Mr Lumsden. At least they
are worthy of consideration.

Poultry Farming |n the South.
Tbe south is especially situated
for poultry taisiug aud ih<* d*> is
at baud when Southeru farmers
successfully compete with the
eastern breeders and the products
of tbe south are found in tbe mar
ket? of large northern and eastern
cities.
The mild wiuters aud early
spring are most favorable to the
growing of spring chickens, and
the excellent railroads insure
prompt deliver* to all poiuts north
and east.
The prejudice which once exist
ed against southern poultry and
eggs is now almost a thing of the
past, and our products find a ready
sale at all times.
Shippers have slowly but surely
learnt that in order to compete
with the modem poultrymen they
must employ no haphazard meth
ods, but ou tbe contrary must land
tbelr shipments at their destina
tion iu an attractive condition.
Eggs must be carefully selected
aud packed, and poultry must be
prime coudition, and there will
be a good demand for them.
The cost of raising poultry in
the South is much less than io the
north, aud there seems no reason
why the industry will uot spread
during the coming year —Home

Zeno’s Paradox.
Many persona will recall tbe
famous paradox of Zsno by which
be sought to prove that all motiou
is impossible.
„"A body," he argued, "must
move either to a place where it ia
or in a place where it. is not. Now
a body in the place where it is, is
stationary and cannot be in mo
tion, nor, obviously, can It be io
motiou in tbe place where it is
not. Therefore it cannot move at
all."
Bodies do move, however, and
that is a sufficient answer to the
ingeiiious philosopher.
