T he Lost Days.
I wish I had nul gone
Back to the little town,
With all my wealth of me. mark
s:ully fling them down ;
That I had seen
The lazy little street
That idles the hillside where tin
and country meet.
1 wish I had not gone
To loiter and to look,
And miss the boy-time glories in tin
one-time singing brook—
One day it was so deep ;
One day it was so wide ;
One day it held cool shadows where
the sunshine went to hide.
T wish I had not traced
The roses once again,
And tried to lind the redness and the
sweetness that they had then :
Nor gone at early morn
To find them filled with dew,
Nor searched them for the honey that
the bees and I once knew,
i wish I had not walked
The little country lane
And hoped to hear the bird songs with
the echoing refrain;
That I had once gone out
Upon the meadow grass,
Expecting vagrant clover scent and
mint tang as I’d pass.
1 wish 1 had not gone
Back to the little town—
Back to my castles built in Spain, to
see them crumble down ;
To fail to hear tin* songs
That rose so gaily then ;
To wake—and neverdream that I could
be a boy again.

Wants a Late Primary.
Editor Nugget :
Recently in The Nugget I
noticed “a remedy for wet elec
tions,” suggested by the former
chairman of the Executive com
mittee, which I heartily endorse,
provided it could and would be
carried out. There is men that
would sign the obligation and go
right on treating (indirectly) as
though they had never heard of
such a thing. Then if they were
to be called in to question about
it they would almost swear that
they hadn’t seen a drop during
the campaign. I have in mind
now, a very highly esteemed friend
that was defeated for the first and
only time, by going into an agree
ment with his antagonist to run a
“dry” race. The former kept his
pledge, the latter didn’t.
Now, there is another thing that
I wish to speak about, and that is
the time of holding the primary.
The State Executive committe fix
ed the 5th of June for holding
these last primaries. Now T do
not see any logical reason why the
county should hold (heir’s at that
time, for several reasons. 1st, It
is the busiest time with farmers
that could be found. Men who
make their living by the sweat of three forms; like a pencil,
their brow has not got time to Jay | and a corkscrew,
everything down and go very often
several miles to vote. Neither do
they like to be hindred from their
work every day with a great num
ber of candidates electioneering.

Bacteria of the Soil.
As the natural fertility of the
soil depends largely upon bacterial
activity, it is important for far
mers to understand the work of
this low typo of life. In most
cases it. is more economical to in
crease the bacteria in the soils and I
use their products, than to apply I
fertilizers.
The work of bacteria, not being
generally understood, are usually
Spoken of as antagonist to the
welfare of mankind. This is an
error. Jf some species produce
diseases, it does not follow that all j
are injurious. Some species are I
our friends—wo could not get
along without them. Twenty-live I
years ago none of our institutions j
of learning except the advanced I
medical colleges provided for j
courses of instruction on disease >
germs; now practically all colleges j
have well-equipped laboratories I
lor the study of bacterial growth*. ]
Now the future progress of agri-
culture, dairying, preservation of j
foods, <SLc\, depends upon a knowl
edge of their functions.
.Bacteria formerly were thought
to ho animals, hut now they are
universally conceded to bo plants.
They belong to the lowest typo of
plant life, and are single-celled
and of simple structure, being
composed almost entirely of pros
toplasm. Lacking eholrophyi
(green coloring matter), they are
not able to take carbon from the
air, hence, they have no woody
fiber. About 1200 different
varieties have been found and
doubtless there are mauy more.
They aro so small that they are
invisablo to the naked eye. It
would take 175 bacteria placed
side by side to make the thickness
of an ordinary book leaf.
Like other non-cblorophyllic
plants they require organic food,
i. e,, food which has been assimi
lated or has been prepared for as
similation by plants or animals.
A few species thrive on mineral
foods. Milk is an excellent bac
terial food—this is why milk sours
so readily. Bacteria secrete fer
ments which digest their food.
Vinegar is nothing more than a
by-product or a bacterial ex
crement. The strong odors pro
duced by putrefaction are also
the product of bacterial action.
Some species have movement.
This is done by the thread-like
projections of their bodies known
as fagella. On account of having
motion is why they were once be
lieved to be animals instead of
plants. They arc found only in

Cooley is Stenographer.
Mr. E. II. Cooley, formerly of
White county, has, been appointed
by Judge J. .1. Kimsey as stenog
rapher of the Northeastern cir
cuit to succeed Mr. K. J. Swain,
the position for four
years. Mr. Cooley has been liv

candidate: “Every honest man
who runs for offico is a candidate

there is nothing in this world so
pathetic as a candidate. He is
like a mariner without a compass,
drifting on the tempest tossed
waves of uncertainty between tho
smiling dill's of hope and tho
frowning crags of fear. l ie is a
walking petition and a living pray
in'. He is a pnekborsc of senti

goal of his ambition he will soon

Will Hold Convention.
A State convention of (he Geor
gia postmasters will he held in Sas
vannah somo time in February.
This will he the first convention of
this kind ever held in the state,
and an effort will be made to form
a permanent organization. There
arc between seven and eight hun
dred postmasters, in the state, and
it. is expected that out of this num
ber two or three hundred will al-
lend the convention, which will
last three days.
This is good advice f'am an ex
change: “If you have had an un
fortunate experience this last year,
forget it. It you have made a
failure m your speech, your song,
your book or your article; if you
have been placed in an embarrass-
; ing position, if you hayo fallen
j out and hurt yourself by a false
i step, or if you have been slander
ed and abused, do not dwell upou
it—forget it. There is-not a sing-
la redeeming feature in these
memories, and the presence of
their ghosts will rob you of many
a happy hour. There is nothing
valuable in them. Wipe them out
of your mind forever. Drop them.
Forget them.”
