THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 1901,
Woman seems to be forging to
the front in medicine. There are
now 6,000 women doctors in this
country.
Corn bread is how said to be un
healthy. The cost at which it is
eaten seems to not to have reach
ed a stage of impaired vitality,
Diamonds are going up in price.
Those who haven’t laid in their win
ter’s supply ought to be on the
lookout.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY
The people of this immediate
section are about to have a test of
the rural free mail delivery system.
Whether or not they are going to
like it as well as some seem to
think they will remains yet to be
seen.
Judging from some remarks
made by the postmaster general a
day or two ago, the service will
receive a general and notable ex
tension in the near future.
At a meeting of the state fair
association at Concord, N. H. Mr.
Smith said that the postoffice had
been carried to the doors of 31,000,-
000 of population who live in the
cities and large problem remains of
carrying the mails to the doors of
21,000,000 Americans who live on
the farms. He recalled the fact
that within the last two years the
service had been extended over a
territory larger than that of all
England. Before the fiscal year is
closed the service will have been
carried over 8,000 routes, bringing
the postoffice to the doors of more
than 6,000,000 people, and reach
ing one-third of the population it
is intended to furnish with the im
proved postal facilities.
In some quarters it is claimed
the jolly farmers are in nowise con
tented over the new order of things.
Haying now no occasion to visit
every day the country store which
which usually serves as a post
office, the ruralist is becoming
rusty on local and general tpics.
The storekeepers’ trade has been
reduced, country life rendered
more solitary and less eventful and
uncertainly in mail service in
creased, while the prospective
swarm of rural letter car
riers is viewed even in the de
partment with scarce concealed
perturbation. But the ruralist
must get used to it all. Free de
livery of mails in green country
districts has come to stay; and
this by no means implies that any
considerable number of fourth
class postmasters must go. It will
not take the farmer very long to
discover that, next to a fat pen
sion, the most grateful slice of
government largesse on a small
scale is in the multitudinous possi
ble appointments of the new free
mail service,
OH for tho
Children .
Give them oil —cod-liver oil.
It’s curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
ful child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anaemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not anew scheme.
It has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. Scott’s Emulsion
is the one.
Scott’s Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.
Send for free sample.

WHY NOT FROM BARTOW ?
There has been a great deal of
premature agitation as well as
speculation on the governorship,
the election for which occurs over
a year hence. South Georgia
seems to want to furnish the man,
but as yet there seems to have
been no great sight of harmony on
whom it should be.
The race so far seems to have
been an early scramble for place in
the line of sprinters. Guerry is in
the ring and so is Estill and
B own, all good men, and others
are spoken of as probable. Among
the late suggestions is the follow
ing from the Augusta Chronicle’s
A lanta correspondent
' ‘ I am almost confident that there
will be additions to the list of gu
bernatoriaJ candidates. The Au
gusta politicians are thinking of
bringing out a man from their dis
trict. Up in north Georgia many
democrats favor Hon. Tom Cren
shaw, Judge A. W. Fite or Con
gressman Maddox. Here in At
lanta there is a restless feeling, and
some of the best informed men in
political circles give it as their
opinion that it would be an easy
matter at the proper time to bring
Hon. Porter King into the race as
a winner.”
If north Georgia should be per
mitted to furnish the governor
there is plenty of good timber to
select from, and those named
above are from the best in the grove.
Judge Maddox would make a splen
did governor and so would Porter
King. Tom Crenshaw would hold
the reins with a steady hand while
Judge Fite would be the peer of
any who have filled the position in
years. He is large in executive
ability as he is in judicial acumen
and practical ideas. Why not a
Bartow county man?
LOCATION of model SCHOOL.
The latest information about the
matter of location of this school
is to this effect. The Federation
of Womens clubs will consider all
propositions presented to them by
November 1 from the various coun
ties and select the school properly
located as to convenience to rail
roads which makes best offer as to
assistance in equipping and main
taining said school. It then be
comes very important for the com
peting communities to act at once.
The county making best proposal
will get the first school. Contribu
tions will play the winning hand.
Counties contesting for it will send
in their bids by Nov. 1 to Mrs. J.
Lindsay Johnson President, Rome,
Ga., and she will place these bids
in the hands of those whose duty
it will be to consider all proposals
and decide.
We urge prompt action, make
your bids. If yculose you will
have tried, and the trying will
have aroused interest in education.
If you gain you will get a good
thing, so gain or lose the school,
good will come of your efforts.

Johnson’s Tonic does m a day what

Its splendid “ures are in striking con

If you are utterly wretched, take a
thorough dose of Johnson’s Tonic and
drive out every trace of malarial poi

the wiser insure their health hy using
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic. It
costs 50 cents if it cures; not one cent if
it does not.
This is the place to bring your
