There have been new resolutions

The democrats seem to be going

The new and important move

Anew trust has been formed

After all while there has been
just local complaints of short crops,

Proverbs
“ When the butter won’t
come put a penny in the
churn,’" is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott’s Emul
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
• aturally to the children be
< uise it is so perfectly adapted
t their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott’s Emulsion
the most satisfactory treat
ment.

And*now comes tbisjueed.
Cartersville’s population is grow
ing. No better evidence of this
fact could be had than the demand
for houses live to in greatly beyond
the supply. It has been claimed
by some that fifty additional houses
could find occupants. This might
be somewhat of an exaggeration,
but it is certain that there have
been an unusual number of appli
cations within the lasi few months,
the demand seems to increase, and
rents have gone up considerably
from what they were. It looks
like the residence branch of im
provement is behind the general
movement in this line, and the
chance for people with a little idle
money to get good returns from
their holdings by erecting cottage
to rent is quite favorable. Will
not some one take the hint and
move out in this direction.
Investments at this day, as a
general rule, owing to sharpness of
competition all around, do not
yield the most gratifying returns.
Money loaned where securities are
safe, rarely brings over 7 per cent,
and it is sometimes hard to place it
at a return even so high as that.
Six per cent, is usually considered
a good investment. At SIOOO cot
tage home will bring $lO per
month, which is twelve per cent per
annum, of course taxes, etc., will
reduce that some, but a net ten per
cent, can usually easily be figured
upon, and then one has money safe
in a good house and lot, while it is
usually but little difficulty in dis
posing of property of the medium
cost class at what it costs, if not at
a profit.
Cartersville needs more resi
dences, and it seems that conditions
are to favor a continuation of this
need.
Those owning houses to rent do
not seem dissatisfied with their
possessions, and most of them find
rent collection an easy method of
adding to their gains.
Roosevelt’s Narrow Escape.
Washington, Dec. 28.-It is said
tonight that President Roosevelt
narrowly escaped losing his left
eye in a fencing bout with General
Leonard Wood a day or to ago.
The wound, which was spoken
of liehtly at the time, it is learned,
was inflicted by General Wood’s
rapier, which entered the Presi
dent’s mask, Inflicting a scar above
the eyebrow. Had the - blade devi
ated an inch it might have cost
the president the sight of his left
eye.
General Wood, who is an expert
fencer, is teaching the president
the art, but this lesson came near
beiug a costly one.

There is morr catarrh silue ection
of the country than all other diseases
put together,” and until lire last few
years was supposed to be incurable,
for a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
lailing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
pi oven catarrh to he a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured bv F. J Cheney <ft Cos.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send lor circulars

Get the Best for Your Money.
Did your grocer ever tell you when
you ordered “Clifton” flour that he
had “something just as good?” Do
you know why he tells you this? It
is because he buys some inferior flour
for less money and is trying to work
this off on you and get a few cents
more profit on it. This is a perfectly
legitimate thing for the grocer to do,
but you ought to see that you get-the
best value for your money. And to
do this insist upon his sending you
“Clifton,” the fine3t patent flour. J

LOST FLESH
AND STRENGTH
”1 was a total wreck—could not sleep or eat.”
writes Mr. J. C. Beers, of Berryman, Crawford
Cos., Mo. ”For two years I tried medicine from
doctors but received very little benefit. I lost
flesh and strength, was not able to do a good
day’s work. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, and when I had
taken one bottle JL could sleep and my appetite
was wonderfully improved. I have taken five
bottles and am still improving.’ l
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little more
profit p|4 by the sale of less meritori
ous medicines. He gains; vou lose.
Therefore, accept no substitute for
” Golden Medical Discovery."

SUNDAY IN ICELAND.
Church Service and the Salutations
Between the Natives.
Sunday in Iceland is full of in
terest to strangers. In the early
morning the country folk commence
to assemble, and in the distance
they may be seen approaching the
church in all directions. What the
Sabbath day is to these people few
can realize. Some of them never
see a face besides those of the mem
bers of the family from one church
day to another. What wonder then
that they begin to assemble
hours before the church time*!
A peculiar form of salutation
prevails outside of the cities, and
the visitor is not a little aston
ished when he sees the men dis
mount, embrace and kiss each other,
but this is the usual form of salu
tation among men in the inland dis
tricts. When the hour of service
arrives, the preacher, who usually
wears a silk hat, a loose, flowing
gown, buttoned from chin to hem,
and a great Elizabethan ruff round
his neck, enters the church.
In the pulpit the pastor is attired
in a long white robe, which falls
over the black one, and down his
back hangs a large surplice of bright
velvet, upon which a golden cross is
wrought. On the altar two great
candles about a yard long and three
inches thick shed a dim light.
These are the especial charge of an
official who gives out the hymns and
between times snuffs the candles
with an old ftme pair of snuffers.
After church the worshipers dis
perse, and many of them come so
far that they do not reach their
homes until away into the night.
What He Stood On.
When Mr. Disraeli made his en
try into public life, he contested
High Wycombe, and then, as ever,
his ready wit helped him to success.
Ilis opponent, says Household
Words, was a countryman of influ
ence. In an address to the people
this gentleman asserted that he was
“standing for the seat upon the con
stitution of the country, upon the
broad acres of his fathers, upon
law, property and order.”
“What does Mr. Disraeli stand
upon?” demanded one of the coun
ty magnate’s adherents, with some
thing of a sneer.-
Disraeli instantly rose. “I stand
upon mv head,” he answered, with
a meaning glance at the portly per
son of his opponent. He proceeded
to demonstrate it in a telling
speech.
The Language of Animals.
There may be no dumb animals—
only their voices may be out of our
ear. It must be supposed that small
creatures, including quadrupeds,
hear sounds much more acute than
are audible to us, but none of the
lower notes of our scale. This is
perhaps the case with cats and dogs,
who can obviously communicate
with one another, coining so close
as almost to touch noses, but mak
ing no sound audible to us. Thus
there is not such a confusion of
noises as there would he otherwise.
The vast difference of pitch heard
by different great tribes of creatures
causes us and them to have, so to
speak, the world to ourselves.
He Was Not Fit to Eat.
Not long ago a missionary fell
among cannibals, who, after holding
a conference, decided to cook him
for supper. They communicated
their intention to the unfortunate
man, who, however, strongly advised
them not to devour him, saying he
was very unpalatable.
“See,” said he, “I will give you a
piece of my leg to eat, and you will
no longer wish to eat me.”
With these words he produced a
knife, cut a slice from liis leg and
sent it the round of the cannibals.
The unanimous decision after
tasting it was to let him go free.
The leg was made of cork!
