CL FEDERATION
OF WIEN'S CLUBS
Seventh Annual Convention to Be
Held in Cartersville.
WORK OF THE FEDERATION.
Meetings Will Be Held in the Court
Room of the New Court House
November 3d to 6th.
This organization, which is to
honi its sctriitii annual meeting in
C me. 'Vine November 3! to 6th,
: hould arouse the interest of every
cni/en of Bartow county. There
are a out fittv federated clubs
w* ic 1 a e working in different
juris of me state, t/om Dilton to
Yal. 0. a, and Augusta to Colum
bus S, -.e ot tnese are purely
literary or purely musical clubs,
yet ail are interested in the philan
thropic work of the federation as a
whole. What is this work?
In several imes it is for the ben
efit of the w. ”in and children of
our state his fe eration was the
first oody to take up the
subjec. of child labor, and see what
c uiid be done to alleviate the evils;
and when this matter shall he prop
erly regulated it will be found that
the public opinion created by these
earnest women has been an impor
tant factor in the victory,
The library work all over the
state is best proven to us by the
value of that, in our own town, as
shown by the public library of the
Cherokee Ciub, which has become
the Mary Munford Memorial Li
brary, while the traveling libra.y
of the same club goes through the
schools of the county
The newest phase of the federa
tion work is that for the improve
ment of the country schools; and j
in this, too, Bartow counry shares I
because she has the third “model
school,” which is at Cass Station.
By the generosity of citizens of the
county the school building was
equipped for the addition of indus
trial training, and the Massachu
setts Federation of Women’s Clubs
guaranteed the money for two
years ot such training in the school
During the past spring ession the
pupils of that school were trained
by a specially qualified teacher,
from our normal school at Athens,
in cooking, with ail that it implies
of neatness and sanitation as ap
plica >le to country towns; sewing
in its different branches; basketry,
and elementary wood-work,
When our country children have
had their eyes and hearts opened
to the beauty and value of these
branches, and when the gardening
and nature study shall have awak
ened an interest in their homes —
when both boys and girls shall be
able to mrke the simple little ad
ditions which so greatly improve
a house by their convenience, such
as shelves, benches, etc., there will
be more pleasure and pride in those
homes and less haste to leave them
for the bare roads of the average
cotton miU village, with the long
hours of unwholesome work. The
tinv children will be able to grow
up in one spot, perhaps, and not
be dragged “from pillar to post.”
from Georgia to Texas, in order
lo work while they are babies!
The federation hopes to have as
its guests Mrs. Robert J. Burdette,
first vice-president of the General
Federation, whom many of our
ci izens already know and love,
and Mrs. May Alden Ward, the
president ot the Massachusetts Fed
eration of Women's Clubs, and
perhaps representations of the fed
erations of other states
All of the meetings will be open
to our citizens, and, since it is to
their generosity that the Cherokee
Club leads the state in having its
beautiful dwelling, it is hoped that
our gentlemen will show their in
terest as often as possible by their
presence at the meetings. By the
courtesy of the Board ot Commis
sioners of Bartow county, all pub
lic meetings will be held in the
Superior Court room, while com
mittees will meet in the Mary
Munford Memorial Library.
In Memory of Albert Upshaw.
Just seven minutes past seven
o’clock Monday morning, Sept.
28th, as the sun began to adorn the
eastern horizon, with autumnal
radiance, we were called upon by
one who knoweth best, to give up
one of the most noble and promis
ing young men of our community,
Albert E. Upshaw, about 27 years
of age.
He was converted to Go! at the
age of 17, passed into heaven as
stated above. But Oh! such a
triumphant death! Would that all
young men could thus die. We
feel that he is not dead: only;
“Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest.
Whose waking is supremely blest:
No fear, no v oe, shall dim that hour.
That manifests the Savior's power.”

Mother's Friend
Woman’s greatest dream of beauty and
glory is when nature has chosen her to
become a mother. Every faculty is keenly
alert as she foresees the joy, r.mbition,
success and the life-long satisfaction coin
fng nearer, day by day, in the dear and
innocent being so soon to see light, and
the uncertainty whether she shall see a
Sweet girl or a brave boy face beside her
on the pillow adds zest to her expectancy.
Mother’s Friend applied externally
throughout pregnancy wiil relieve the
pain of parturition, and no mother and
child can fail to be healthy, hearty, strong,
clear cornplexioned, pure blooded and
cheerful in disposition, who are mutually
influenced by the continued use of this
great liniment, MOTHER’S FRIEND.

With that unmistakable heavenly
radiance written upon his brow,
he often expressed his willingness
to go, if it was the will of God.
’Twas indeed a benediction to be
with him and hear him talk to his
relatives and associates, admonish
ing those who were unprepared to
be ready. Would have us sing and
pray; often join us and when his
voice failed him, clapped his hands
with joy, and said, “Mamma all is
well.”
He called us to his bedside one
by one, told us good bye; asked us
to have his favorite song, “There’s
rest for the weary,” sang at his
funeral.
Besides his parents; he leaves
two brothers, George and Tom and
two sisters, Mrs. Fred Smith, of
your city, and Miss M iud. His
\ oungest sister Rosa, having pre
ceded him to heaven about two
years. Mrs. E. M. Upshaw.
Church Attendance.
Americas News.
A London newspaper says there
are 2 600 places of worship in that
city and has computed that 840,000
pe; sons attend church in London
everv Sunday out of a total of 4,-
536,415. One English editor thinks
every London worshipper represents
two others who are occasionally
present or would like to be if they
could and who are connected with
some branch of the church. So he
makes the total churchgoing popu
lation in the metropolis 2,000,000
people in London who do not at
tend any church. It must be taken
into account that Londo.i is a great
cosmopolitan place and that its
floating population is large. A
Boston editor is of the opinion that
in the average English or American
community of, say, 1,000 persons,
at least 400 are touched in some
way by the Gospel. A census
taken last November in New York
gives average Sunday attendance
at church on Manhattan island as
451,731 out of a total population of
1,850,093; that is, a littlemore than
one-third of the people go to church
every Sunday. In Atnericus, the
average attendance of the popula
tion would hardly be up to propor
tion in Boston or New York, and
it is frequently asked in the
churches here, “where are the
men?”
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy-
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at
the great popularity of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, it not only cures
colds and grip effectually and per
il rnianently, but prevents these
diseases from resulting in pneumonia.
It is also a certain cure for croup.
Whooping cough is not dangerous
when this remedy is given, it con
tains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as con
fidently to a baby as to an adult. It
is also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into considera
tion it is not surprising that people
m foreign lands, as well as at home,
esteem this remedy very highly and
very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For saie

Robert Wallace Springs Matrimonial
Surprise on Atlanta Audience.

night were given a surprise in the
performance of a marriage cere
mony just at the conclusion of the
evening service.
“The contracting parties were
Robert W 7 allace, a young man con
nected with E. W. Allen & Cos.
and Miss Etta p ite Robbins, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Rob
bins, of 155 Wes' Fair street,
“Mr. Wa'.lace and Miss Robbins
were seated in the congregation
during the sermon, but had given
no intimation to Rev. A. C. Ward,
the pastor, of their intention of
getting married. At the conclu
sion of the service, Dr. Ward dis
missed the congregation and start
ed down the aisle toward the door,
when he was met by young Wal
lace, who stated that he desired to
get married, and that he had the
young lady there in the church
with him.
“Mr. Ward consented to perform
the ceremony, and immediately
reassembled the conpregation, in
forming them of the reason for this
unusual proceeding. Mr. Wallace
and Miss Robbins then took their
places before the minister, and he
spoke the words that made them
man and wife. The happy young
couple then left the church, and
the congregation quickly filed
out.”
The above is from the Atlanta
Constitution. The groom is from
this city, and was a well-known
attache of our mechanical force
previous to his going to Atlanta.
COURT FRIGHTENED HIM-
A Scared Canine Takes a Leah
from a Court House Window.
There was an episode in Judge
Foute’s court that didn’t belong to
the regular proceedings.
Bailiff Will Goode has a pet dog
that is very fond of his master’s
company. The other day it fol
lowed the bailiff down town and
staid near him during a few minor
pilgrimages, and finally went with
him into the court house and into
the presence of the judge and court
officials and jurors, and as his mas
ter stepped around, attending to
his court dut'e-, the faithful animal
showed a look of neglect and mis
trust til it wasquiteevidentthrough
its uneasy movements about the
court room.
When the bailiff left for another
room, and the dog found itself
barred in the dignified enclosure,
it began to cut capers that caused
the judge, who didn’t know whose
dog it was, to insist on its eject
ment. As Deputy Sheriff Tinsley
approached familiarly with a few
wliistles and snaps ot the fingers
the dog feared the worst possible
fate. It gave a subdued whine,
shot under the seats, and finally
emerging like a released rocket,
spying an open window went
through it at a long bound and
plunged into the gloaming with
out. The distance to the ground
was about thirty feet, and those
looking at the dog where it had
lit on the ground thought it was
dead. It finally got up after re
peated struggles and ambled home.
It possibly has enough of courts.

Proper Depth to Cover, Wben to Sow,
Soil. Etc.
It is yet too early to plant wheat,
but not too early to begin the prepa
ration of the land. This should really
have been commenced last spring od
land intended for wheat this fal*
Land which was well manured and
thoroughly broken up last spring for
some other crop, so soon as that crop
has been gathered, is already far on
the way to being all that is needed to
make good wheat land.
Soil.
The first essential is to select for
sowing in wheat a suitable soil, one in
which loam and clay predominate,
which is much improved by a large
proportion of lime, furnished by eith
er nature c-r man. The soil must be
dry, underdrained if necessary, since
a large crop of wheat cannot be made
if there is an excess of water in the
land. A good wheat soli must also
have abundance of nitrogenous mat
ter, with a sufficiency of phosphoric
acid, potash and lime. If these ele
ments are lacking, use plenty of barn
yard manure. What we say about
cotton is also true of wheat.
It Is better to put 500 pounds of
your commercial fertilizer on one acre
than to spread it over two, for thus
one can make the same amount of
wheat with less labor.
Preparation.
In preparing soil for wheat, one of
the chief objects is to keep the veg
etable matter and mineral portions as
near or as much on the surface as
possible, so that the roots of the
plants may strike out horizontally, in
stead of going down in a more verti
cal direction. A thin, mellow stratum
of rich soil should be kept at or near
the surface. Subsoil, as the conditions
demand. t
A good seedbed must be prepared
by thoroughly plowing, fertilizing,
harrowing, raking, pulverizing and
rolling the land.
Proper Depth to Covier Wheat.
Experiments have proven that seed
t\*ieat must not be planted too deep
and it has been suggested by many
who have given the subject a careful
study, that it is better to harrow the
wheat and fertilizer in from one to
three inches deep, according to the
character of the soil, which, if close
and heavy, will require a thinner cov
ering than if it is light or sandy.
When to Sow Wheat.
It is best to put the seed in as late
in the season as it can be, and still
have sufficient time to throw out a
system of roots and' leaves large
enough to cover the ground before the
cold blizzards come upon it. Mr. W.
J. Bridges of Spalding, one of our
most successful wheat growers, thinks
that wheat should not be sown until
after the first big frost in November,
since it will then stand more success
fully the ravages of the Hessian fly.
Our best wheat growers in Georgia
generally plant from October 1 to No
vember 1, according to soil and cli
matic conditions.
Continue to Grow Wheat.
Sometimes a farmer fails with his
wheat crop, gets discouraged and de
cldes to plant no more wheat. Does
he act in that way about his cotton
or his corn? Every one knows that
he does not. Neither should he so
act in regard to his wheat. It is an
exceedingly important crop.
By growing his own wheat he has
his bran and shorts for stock food.
But what is best of all, he can have
the grain ground at his neighboring
mill, and have domestic flour, which
will make sweeter and more whole
some bread than flour purchased from
the west, even if it is not quite sc
white.
GA. DEPT OF AGRICULTURE.
T urnips.
Turnips will grow on almost any
kind of soil, from sand to heavy day
and muck. The common English tur
nip does best on a light, sandy or
gravelly loam, well manured at the
time of planting. Rutabagas thrive
best on a heavy’ soil, made rich by
fertilizing. Fresh stable manure
should never be used for them, be
cause it gives them a strong flavor,
which unfits them for table use.
Commercial fertilizers are better foi
this crop than farm manure, both be
cause the turnips are less liable to
be eaten by worms and the bulbs
grow smoother and more regular in
form.
Of coume, as with every other crop
the first requisite is a god seed-bed.
If the seed is put in by drilling
the rows should be from sixteen tc
eighteen inches apart.
When the plants have grown suffl
ciently for the rough leaf to be de
veloped, they should be thinned out
to six or eight inches apart.
After the final thinning the plants
should be from eight to ten inches
apart
The weed* should b kept down
with a cultivator or fcorse-hoe and
the soil stirred in this manner sev
eral times This cultivation should
be completed before the leaves have
become very large. In order to pre
vent the attack* of the turnip fly, it
is well to sprinkle the plants in Jhe
early morning, before the dew Is dry,
with a Utile lime dust
The requires a richer soil
and more fertilizing than the common
white turnip
What we have said under the head
of storing sweet potatoes is true of
turnips al*>. with the additional sug
gestion that the be
trimmed ft# close as possible to the
turnip without cutting the turnip it
self.

Complete Recovery-
Tony Hamilton, according to
the Philadelphia Ledger, says that
a countryma.i was one day looking
at the wonders in the freak show
corrected with Barnuin & Bailey’s
circus. He looked at the fat
woman with admiration, and then
gazed at the living skeleton.
Finally he addressed that com
pilation of skin and bones and
asked:
“Did you ever have the dropsy?”
“Well, hardly,” said Bones
“But why do you ark such a foolish
question?”
“Well, I just thought if ye ever
had been troubled with dropsy ye
was the best cured man I ever
saw.”
Cause of Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus 01 germ which exists plenti
fully in street dirt. It is inactive so
long as exp >sed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is roused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
knowm. These germs mav be des
troyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the
injury is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes such injuries to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usi a!
treatment. It is for sale by J. H.
