A COUNTRY JOURNEY-
Wiil Neel Visits Scenes
of His Karly Y ears.
a midsummer drive.
Tells of Peaches, Fried Chicken,
Buttermilk ard Generous
Hospitality.
After twelve years of happy mar
ried life my wife and I planned a
little wedding anniversary journey
that proved i'ery delightful in a
■quirt and inexpensive way, writes
\V, J. Neel in the Rome Tribune,
Tot-spirit moves me totell about it,
th u -one other coup’e of grown
up children may have an oppor
tunity io go and do likewise.
We made a buggy trip from
Rome to Plainville, thence to
McDaniels' and on down through
Oothcaloga Valley, by Adairsvilie,
to Cass\ilie and on to Cartelsville,
thence returned by Cass Station
and Kingston to Rome. The route
was lined, going and coming, with
kinfolks and Jriends. who gave us
cordial welcome and good things
to eat. We were out nearly a
week, and the only expense was
thirty cents for having the horse
shod on two feet
It was a pleasant July morning
about 7 o’clock, as we passed up
Broad street towards the Calhoun
road. The clerks were hurrying
down town and business was just
waking up along the principal
street of Rome. But the woods
were beckoning to us and the fields
were smiling us a welcome, Just
us two together, happy and glad
hearted, going out, after 12 years
of married life, to have a vacatiou
in the country and among the hills
where I was born and had played
and worked as a boy!
This is the most abundant year
north Georgia has ever seen. It is
really good to ride along the pub
lic highway and look at the grow
ing crops. The fanners are hope
iul and happy. It so happens that
Wg know nearly everybody in
Floyd county, and from cabins and
farm houses and across the fields
and along the country road came
cordial greetings and genuine
howdy-doos!
we progressed along tfte Cal
lioun road there were invitations
to stop and have a cool drink, or
to eat fruit, or to spend the day,
and it seemed good to live
and move among people who
are so cheerful and hospitable and
whose friendship so genu
ine and generous.
This is peach season and the
the fried chicken season. Crops
aie about la it? 'ey, watermelons are
ripening, protracted tsoeetings are
' thc {armef his
oe: t.
At dinner time we drew up at
the home of one of my old-time
friends, a dear wotupn who used to
live on adjoining farm to ours, and
who would sometimes send me, on
hot summer afternoon, across the
field to where I was plowing, a
pitcher of cool buttermilk, that
was as grateful to my parched
throat as nectar from the gods; and
who, when we were married, twelve
years ago, remembered us with a
handsome piece of old silver that
had been iu her family for 240
years.
Was she glad to see us? Why
bless your life she kissed me and
called me "Will,” and actually took
my little wife iu her arms as if she
was her own child! Ana she gave
us a genuine old-time dinner of
snap-beans and Irish potatoes, corn
bread and buttermilk, fried chicken
and biscuit, and apple dumpling
and sweetmilk!

PERRY OAVIf 4, SON-
In the afiernoon \ve journej ed
a'ong to the old farm-house that
nr grandfather built in the long,
long ago, the place that in mv early
childhood represented everything
that was delightful. To go to
grandpa’s for a week’s visit meant
freedom and luxury; meant red
apples, honey and pound-cake;
meant hunting squirrels, fishing in
the creek, driving cows from the
pasture and riding horses from the
field; meant going with grandpa
to Saturday meeting, and having
a reunion of all the aunts and un
cles, and carousing on Sunday,
with a dinner fit for a king.
All this came rushing back to
me as we drove up the long lane
to the house, and I could almost
fancy that ray gray-haiied, ruddy
faced grandfather (now twenty
years dead j was sitting on the side
porch, watching for 11-. It is worth
while to go track to the old places
and renew the memories and emo
tions of long ago. The fountains
of youth can be reopened, and
refreshing drafts from years gone
by may be had.
Then on Sunday we went to
our anniversary service at the
church my grandfather had helped
to found and build. There was a
great gathering of the kinsfolk
and frienns that I bad known in
>the old days, and when I was asked
to make a talk there is little won
der that my voice broke and the
tears c .me unoidc.<-n to rny eyes,
tears of joy to renew acquaintance
with boyhood friends, and tears of
regret that so many loved ones had
slipped away “into the pale realms
of shade.”
The ride next day down the val
ley to Adairsvilie dud oh to old
Cassville was one of continuous
delight. There was the old huu
dred>acre field, where I had plowed
so many summer days; Oothcaloga
church, where I had gone with my
mother, riding behind her on a
mule, to Saturday meetings; the
home where I was born; the school
house where I learned to spell
“baker;” ibe creek where I first
went iu “washing” and where I
caught my first fish, These things
all brought back precious memo
ries and rare boyhood experiences
that came upon us this summer
morning with refreshing fullness.
There had been rain the night
before, and the air was redolent of
generous, fruitful summer. In
fhe Elberta orchards fruit was
ripening-, in the corn-fields green
banners were waving a welcome to
the coming harvest; on the hillside
canteloupes were peeping out
through clustering vines and giv
ing forth an odorous sweetness; in
the woods wild flowers were bloom
ing and cat-birds and brown
thrushes were making music.
Just us two, riding along to
gether! Glad and grateful hearts
in harmony with each other and
With nature; children still and lov
ers, though past the 40-year mile
post.
Such vacations are good for
both the body and the spirit. I
can wish you no greater happiness,
my middle-aged married triends !
than that you, too, might take a ■
journey into the country and renew
acquaintance with the scenes oi
your childhood and with your
selves! W.J. Neel,

A Sweet Breath
Is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad
the stomach is out of order. There
is no remedy in the world equal to
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing in
digestion, dyspepsia and all stomach
disorders. Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of
White Plains, Ky.. writes: “I have
been a dyspeptic fc r years; tried all
kinds of remedies, but continued to
grow worse. By the use of Kodol I
began to improve at once, and after
taking a few bottles am fully re
stored in weight, health and strength
and can eat whatever 1 like,’’ Kodol
digests what you eat and makes the
stomach sweet. Sold by Young

If Russia receives a decided de
feat at the hands of the Japanese,
( savs The Independent, then the
; situation of the government and
J whole regime will become serious;
J for, in this case, it is the revolu
tionary parties that will come de
cidedly to the fore and that will
take the lead in the reform govern
, erume-t. For the past thirty years
j they have been carrying on the
I fight against great odds and have
1 felt themselves stronger after each
| reverse. Today they have many
j of the lower c'asses in their ranks,
an element that has less to lose
and so much to gain. This united
body is only awaiting an opportun
ity to make a final assault on rfie
government citadel. When the
rush comes, it is probable that they
will sweep all before them, as the
Japanese are doing in Korea and
China. Then it will not be simply
a matter of reforms, but a life and
death struggle between autocracy
and liberty. The present coterie
which rule Russia never dreamed,
when they began this war, that
they had started Czardom on a
course at the end of which was a
fata, fall, or, at least, a change of
regime in the direction of modern
forms of government. We are now
moving toward that fall or that
change, perhaps toward both, with
a giant’s step.
Birch-marks which mark aid
I mar the outside of the body are a
grief every- mother whose chil
dren may bear them. But for ev
ery child who bears a birth-mark
on the skin there are many who
bear an indelible birth-mark on
the mind, Nervous mothers have
nervous children, and many a man
and woman owes an irritable and
despondent temperament to those
days of dread when the mother
waited the hour of her maternity.
The use of Dr, Pierce’s Favoiite
Prescription strengthens the moth
er for her trial. With strength
comes a buoyancy of spirits and
quittness of mind which is one of
the happiest gifts a mother can be
stow on her offspring. By giving
vigor anv elasticity to the delicate
womanly organs ‘‘Favorite Pre
scription” practically does away
with the pain of maternity, and
makes the baby’s adveiit as natural
and as simple as the blossoming
of a flower. There is no opium,
cocaine or other narcotic contained
in “Favorite Prescription.”
Sensations of Automobiling.
When we were clear of Kensing
ton, and winging lightly along the
the familiar Portsmouth road, with
its dark pines and purple gleams
of heather, I began to feel an ex
hilaration scarcely short of treach
erous to my principles, says a
writer in the Metropolitan Maga
zine. We were now putting on
speed and running as fast as most
trains on the Southwestern, yet the
sensation was far removed from
any I had experienced in traveling
by rail, even' on famous lines,
which give glorious views if one
does not mind cinders in the eye,
or the chance of having one’s bead
knocked off like a ripe apple. I
seemed to be floating in a great
opaline sea of pure, fresh air; for
such dust as we raised was beaSiti
down from the fionneata by the
screen, and did not trouble ins*.
Our speed appeared, to turn the
j country into a panorama flying by
for our amusement; and yet, fast as
we went, to my surprise I was able
to appreciate every feature, every
incident of the road. Each separ
ate beauty of the way was threaded
like a bead on a rosary.
Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep- un
good bodily health. They owe-it to*
their children, Yet st is no uutuHial
sight to see a mother, with babe in
arms, coughing violently and. ex
hibiting ail the symptoms of a con
sumptive tendency. And why should)
this dangerous condition exist, dan
gerous alike to mother and child;
when Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup
would put a stop to it at onee? No
mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the houst —for
its timely use will promptly cure any
lung, throat or bronchial trouble in
herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured
by German Syrup: so can hoarseness
and congestion of the bronchial tubes.
It makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to thecough-raoked consumptive.
