interesting topics were “Politics"

“Sweet Story of Love.” Punch was

SUNDAY GAMP MEETING.
We hope our friends, and the pub
lic generally will not crowd our cars
on Sundays during Camp-meeting.
We can haul you to the Camp
meeting and return with safety and
with pleasure.
But the crowds that ride back and
forth between the Camp Ground and
the Spring make it unpleasant.
When platforms and foot boards
are full it is dangerous.
We hope our friends will help us
out of so much Sunday work.

The Rosetta Stone.
The Rosetta stone was found in 1790
by a French engineer officer in an ex
cavation made near Rosetta. It lias
an inscription in three different lan
guages, the hieroglyphic, the demotic
and the Greek. It was erected. 195 B.
C. in honor oe rtolemy Eplphanes be
cause lie remitted the dues of the priest
ly body. The great value of the Roset
ta stone lies in the fact that it fur
nished the key whereby the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were deciphered.

somebody.”—Washington Star.

Resolved Ist: In behalf of and
for the Citizens of Batts County and
the city of Jackson in Mass meeting,
we by our presence offer our good
will and well wishes to the projectors
of the Middle Georgia Interurban
Elictric Railroad & Power Cos. in de
velopemont of the great water power
which lies at our doors and which
heretofore and at present has been
of no use to people ncr the upbuilding
of our county and town.
2nd. That we as citizens and bus
iness men of Butts County and the

offer to these Gentlemen our hearty
| co-operation and good will in the con
struction and building of the Middle
Georgia Interurban Electric Railroad
& Power Cos. in our County and town.

and we promise our help and support
if this is done, and to use our influ

Franchises and Rights of Ways for

Altogether it was an enthuastic
meeting, and the gentlemen promo

couraged by the interest manifested
by our people.
It Is curious, but a fact gathered
from years of observation, that the
worst tempered children often make
the best tempered men and women.
Girls who are fretful and selfish may,
if properly guided, grow into sweet,
unselfish women ami became excellent
wives and mothers. —IVomen's Life.

Worth the Difference.
A big jobber sent an aspiring young
man on the road to open up a new' ter
ritory where anew railroad was going
through. All the towns being new,
there were no hotel nccommodiittouß,
und It was necessary for the salesman
to secure meals and lodging at restau
rants, ete., where the price was 25 cents
meel. On looking over the expense
account the manager noticed all meals
charged at 50 cents.
“Look here, Charlie; I see you have
charged us 50 cents per meal on your
trip, and I am reliably Informed that
it is Impossible to get a meal for more
than 25 cents In your entire territory.
How about It?”
"Well,” said the salesman, “you uro
right. It did cost me but 25 cents per
meal, but I tell you, sir, it’s worth the
other 25 to eat those meals.”—New
York Twwes.
Tko Bachelor Mf+cTs Keys.
“Do 1 enjoy the freedom of a latch
key!” exclaimed the bachelor inaid bit
terly. “Look at that bunch”— holding
aloft a ring full of keys. “Fifteen, and
I have to carry all of them nil the
time. This one Is tins key to the studio
building, this to my own studio, this to
my club, tills to my hamper at the
club, tills to my desk, this to the se
cret drawer of the desk, this to a
trunk, this to another, this to my let
ter box, this to my sewing much!no
ok, yee, the woman who comes to clean
my studio would do her nanual sewing
there if I didn’t—this to my box In the
safety deposit, tills to the piano—to
keep the woman from using it, of
course —this —positively I forget what
It is for, but I know I need It often.
I’m simply worn out lugging around a
wrist bag big enough to hold them all.
I assure you, my dear, that If you ever
bear I have committed matrimony you
may tell all my friends I needed a
man to carry my keys for me.” New

The RuKng Passion.
A celebrated musical critic was mar
ried In church some years ago, and
after the ceremony, as the wedding
procession marched down the aisle, the
organist played the wedding march
from “Lohengrin." When near the
door, tho bridegroom stopped In tho
march und addressed the wondering
ussembly thus:
“I know I imi committing a breach
of etiquette ns well as propriety In
doing this, but I am not to blame. It
is my mental organization which has
become ineffably sensitive by reusou
of the critical nature of my duties.”
Then he drew from the pocket of his
dress coat a well thumbed copy of the
score of “Lohengrin.” Opening it at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
“What offended my ear was the fact
that In the seventeenth bar of tho anda 1
cajio passage you flutted very badly,
and in the andante movement you
Blurred the appogglatura. Now,” put
ting Ills finger upon the passage, “let
us try that again.”
Once more the organ pealed fdrth,
and this time the player, conscious
that the greut critic wus listening to
him, accomplished his duty with credit
to himself and to the sutisfac*.
