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. —Chicago Tribune.

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. 2nd. Every nook and corner of 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 ball A Happy New Year. Yours For Trade Hi Dealer in General Merchandise, DM !

Suppose one bacterium should lodge in the opening into the teat of a milch cow at the time of milking, and the timo between milkings should bo ten hours; then at the. above rate of increase, that one bacterium would produce 1,- 208,570 ready to he washed into the milk at the next milking.

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 ing in Athens for some years, al- onnefl- to tho candidate: “Every honest man who runs for offico is a candidate for trouble, for political victory turn to ashes on the lips. To mo 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 ment, he is a dromedary of poli tics, and even if he reaches tho goal of his ambition he will soon feel I ho l»eak of the vulture in his heart and the fang of the serpent in hissoul.” 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.” Ex-Congressman E. H.
