Mary sat upon a pin
But showed no pertubation;
For some of her was genuine.
But most was imitation.
Diligence is the mother of good
luck.
Nothing can be great that is not
right.
Gun motal green is a smart shade
in veiling.
Anger is the thunder that sours
the milk of human kindness.
Make the best of the troubles
you liavo. Don’t hunt for more.
Treat all women folks with cour
tesy, more especially.
A woman thinks that any man
who tells hot she is beautiful has
the making of a great man.
The woman who. Bets out the best
preserves for her husband and not
for company is truly an angel.
Teach your girl now to cook, and
if she does not thank you, some
body’s son will thank you i'er her.
If husbands and wives were al
ways sweethearts thore 'would bo no
longings for another aud better
world.
It is a smart woman that knows
how to dress and appear so as to
keep her friends guessing as to her
age.
It sends cold shivers down a girls
spine to remember after she gets in
a hammock, that she hasn’t got on
her best stookings.
During a fire in a New York ho
tol a woman dressed herself in less
than fifteen minutes. The record
will doubtless stand tor eternity.
Young man, two cigars a day
would'buy you a nice little home in
twenty-five years, and your wife
would have a husband she could he
much prouder of.
Considering the variegated trou
bles through which everybody has
lived at one time or another, it is
surpr&Bng that anybody ever wor
ries about anything.
The new figure is higher m the
bust;' it is higher in the waist and
decidedly higher in the belt line.-
And what is much more important
from every stanpoiut is that the
waist itself is smaller.
During courtship a sweet girl is
apt to think that marriage is a haven
of rast in which she will be free
from all worry and care. After the
honeymoon is over she wakes up to
a realization that she has another
think coming.
The bust must be full and high.
The low bust effects are going out
and the high, well developed figure
is coming in. It will take a great
deal of physical culiure to develop
the figure properly, but it can be
done.
The Japanese women are as ao-
tive aud strong as the men. An
English • writer on physical culture
suggests that this may account for
the Jap’s oouroge in war. After he
has settled his domestic problem
with a* wife as muscular and agile
.as himself, war has no terrors for
him.
Let girls learn to cook and let
them learn to do it well. No girl
has a right' to marry and go into a
house of her own until she tho
roughly understands how to super
intend every branch of housekeep
ing, and to do this she must have a
praotioal knowledge of how to ao
things herself. Let girls have a
_ yart in the housekeeping before they j
,masry.
. LOST HIS ARM.
Young Rufus James in a Gim
J. R. James lost his right arm
last Wednesday morning by an ao-
oident in his father's gin, in tbo
lower part of the county. The gih
choked and the young man attempt
ed to pick the cotton out with his
pick
fingers .•’The saws caught his sleeve
and into the gin his arm went, and
it was sawed to pieces from his el
bow down, and his hand fell on the
cotton seed pile below, lie pickod
up the loose hand with his other
hand, but it was of no service to him
then, aud he turned his attention
to the bleeding arm that was out to
pieces. He sat upon the steps, of
the gin house until his horse could
be put to the buggy and he was
driven to Cordele, about fivo miles,
before anything was doue for him.
His arm was taken off near the
shoulder, and he is getting along
fairly well with it. He is a son Mr.
W. S. James, known as Bcckuin.
The- young man has been running
the gin foH several years, and had
become an expert in the manage
ment of it. But, like lots of young
men, he got nearer and nearer to
danger until he rubbed up against
it and off wcat his arm.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Son of Shorod Hamilton Struck
The home of Mr. G. S. Hamil
ton, in -tbo 14 th district, was struck
by lightning Sunday evening and
his son, Tom Watson Hamilton,
was instantlv killed; The ohimney
of the nouse wa« >vrecked, a door
shutter torn from its place and sev
eral of the family scorched by the
Hash.
At any rate the Unspeakable can
point with pride to the fnot that the
American ultimatum is the only
brand that oan move him.
The merchant who says in his ad
vertisement just wbat ho would m
an hour's talk with a customer has
solved the problem of writing an
effective advertisement.
In some families the mather or
children, sometimes the “old mat;’ 1
subscribes for everything that comes
along—organs, lightning rods, sub
scription books, pictures, brio a-
brao—anything they can pay for on
the installment plan. It is a vioious
practice, All has to be paid for
some time or other, and putting it
off affords only temporary relief.
Buy only what you actually need
aul what you are able to pay for on
the spot.
Tbo best lesson children can
learn, at home or elsewhere, is to
be kind, polite and courteous. ThiR
is the surest passport on any road
and into any business.
Prof. (.'nas. Richet, the apoBtio of
peace in Paris, is said to have fig
ured that war has cost 14 000,000
lives in the nineteenth century.
The twentieth century bids fair to
rival the nineteenth.
• Camda should .be cautious how
she invites American farmers to hor
northern territory. When enough
of them get over there they arc
liable to segede and annex half the
Dominion to the United States.
Assuming its most financial au
thorities do, that a large per capita

times, then good times aro assured
The per capita now is $30, nearly
twice what it was twenty-five years
ago.
A person who has examined into
the matter reports that it is quite a
common thing for bakers to mix 20
per .cent, of corn flour, 5 per cent,
of potato flour and 76 per cent, of
wheat .flour together, and, as one
baker expresses it, “it is just the’
thing.”
Manohuria, where the Russians
aud Japanese are fighting, is said to
have as muoh wheat land as all the
U. S. - put together, and not an
acre of it under tillage. If this be
true why not the fools quit fighting
and'taxing their people to death and
settle a few millions m Manohuria
to raise food? No wonder they
continue barbarians or semi-oiviliz-
ed, if they neglect to cultivate the
land under their very feet and pre
fer the horrors of war to the arts of
peaco.
It does not pay to feed tho^ro-
duoc of the farm to inferior stock,
nor does it pay to buy food for
them. Those aro tbo kind that prove
the old proverb of eating thoir
heads off.
There has been lots of kicking past seasons
about the price of cotton in Vienna, but no
fair minded man can say Vienna has not
had a very fine market up to the present
season. She is ahead of
ANYTHING ON THE PIKE.
If you want a good price for cotton bring it
to Vienna: You can gin it round or square.
Patronize the packing that pays you best.
We are in the market for cotton seed, and
will pay for them either in cash or barter.
If you are opposed to seliing your seed for
money, you can ezchange for meal and
hulls. There is nothing better as a feed
for your cattle than meal and hulls, and
meal is .one of the best fertilizers that is
being sold.
Bring your cotton in, s^ed, and have
it ginned your way, and sell your seed to
the Vienna Cotton <^il Company. TJiey
will treat ypu right. Yours very truly,

Have t,o work harder these days
to keep tho weeds down. The oafth
is harder and they have a firmer
hold on the soil. Do not lot your
hoe got rusty—shiny hoe, nice veg-
etablfcs and lots of them.
How-much capital have you in
vested in the 'worrying business?
Some folks put everything they
have into it and never draw out a

The man in tho automobile .is
generally so swelled that ho doos
not want to know that others hayo
some rights on tho highway. Down

got pretty gay tne farmors oarry
a loaded shot gun in their wagons,
and when threatened to ho run down
they open with a couple of rounds.
It is surprising how it brings tho

A farmer who knows considerable
about a horse, says tho following is
good thing to keep in the barn all
the tune: Half a pound of pow
dered ginger, half a pound of oroam
of tartar aud an equal amount of
Raltpeter. Mix thoroughly. Give
level tablcspoonful to each horse
once a week in his feed. This, ho
says, will prove a most valuable
condition powder and save many a
ease of sickness. If a horse takes
cold, give him this a few days and
will help greatly in bringing
about a cure.
These business men who do not
believe it profitable to advertise
during tne dull summer months
should note the catalogues arriving
from the mail order houses at this
time. Those firms know that the
merchants in small towns quit ad;
vertismg at this time of the year
and so they flood tho country with
their ads, and gain a big viotory
while their competitors are waiting
for business to pick up. When
business is light is just the time it
needs stimulating,

Without a dollar, purchased a $39
000,000 copper property, sold it to
the public for $76,000,000 and fi
nally fleeced the public out of most
of that money. Mr. Lawson calls
this frenzied finance. The average
plain oitizen would call it robbery
and murder^ as the transaction he
proclaims, caused m4ny suicides,
bankruptcies, sent men to prison
f&r defalcations, etc. This is the
first exposure of a pubiio character
that has been made of Wall'streot
methods, but to men wW'enjoy
speculating it should he an eye op
