A girl cau forgive anybody for
thinking she has a sweet disposition
If she lias wavy hair and can wear
shoes too small for her.
It is not always easy to forgive "ne : s
enemies, hut that does not matter so
much, as nowadays it is oftener we
are called upon to forgive our friends.
At San Antonio, Tex., last week a
preacher of the gospel was arrested
for having live wives. Love such as
that, like the love of whieh lie preach
ed, "passeth all understanding.”
‘‘As riches come, old helpmeets
go,” is being proven in many instan
ces nowadays. The good wife who
shared the burdens when in straight
ened circumstances is cast aside for
some ilrtutious young miss, who is
out for a good time.
In most stares a man must puss an
examination to be entitled to run a
stationary engine; but any fool that
can get a cnance seems to be com
petent to rui. an automobile, Isn't it
about time we began looking into the
qualification of the meu who rush
about our roads with these mau-kill
•rs?
There is one thing that ought to
make a young buck blush away back
behind h's ears, and that is to be
guilty of disturbing public worship.
It is said th it a young Gent, who
don’t live more than u sabbath day’s
journey from Jackson, behaved so
disgracefully one night last week at
Camp-Meeting that the big burly po
liceman had to threaten to eject h m
from the grounds. It does look like
ayouugcub who has nothing but
his good looks and his intelligence to
reccommeud him, would put both do n
better use.
Did't evt>r strike you that women
sometimes kiss when they had rather
■cratch at each other? The act of
shaking hands is a i ledge of friend
ship, that of kissing a token of love.
The pledge is often given when there
Is no friendship; the token, when in
stead of love, hate rankles in the bor
om ot those who kiss. Why cot dis
continue both when prompted by de
ception, or carlesely indulged in?
Two women were scon to k : ss last
Sunday at Camp Meeting, then ore
went off rubbing her mouth with her
sleeve.
A thing naturally sweet becomes
very revolting.
The Senatorship.
The time has come when the peo
ple must begin to think about who
will represent them in the state sen
ate, and in passing it is well enough
to remark that something more is de
manded than a man to fill a chair in
the seriate chamber at the state caf
itol. We need a man who will leave
footprints in the political sands as he
passes along. Such has been tradi
tional of old Butts County from time
immemorial. With such men as
Judge Markus Beck and Hon. Alex
ander Atkinson Butts has stood sec
ond to no district in Georgia. We
will do well to take into considera
tion the fine record of Senator .1. J
Fiynt of Spaulding, then the voters
of old Butts will demand that some
on* run that will uphold the honor
that the district enjoys abroad. The
people will insist ou a man with
nerve, brains, aggression and execu
tive ability. In other words a man
that will keep it fresh in the mind
of the public at large that there is a
twenty sixth district, and that Butts
County is a member of that district.
Boar in mind that, there are only For
ty Four senators in the Georgia Sen
ate, and then remember that the seu
ace fell down on more than one im
portant niece of legislation in tilt
last session. We of course don t
know the cause of all this, but we do
know that we want men that wont
back down at a trifle, men with abil
ity, tenucity of purpose and enough
brains to know what is best under
the circumstances, and nerve enough
to stand in the face of corporate in
fluence and do the right thing for the
people at the right time. Butts Cos
lias such men within her borders,
and the season is at hand when the
people should look about for a man
that will (ill all these specifications
and —one that stands untrammelled,
and uncontrolled by any click or
ring. Such a man can be found, we
are sure, and when found the people
will rally to ins support, ar.d old Butts
will once again be in the van of the
procession, with banner unfurled, and
possibly on the road to higher honors.
He’s Somewhat Drastic,
In reference to the candidacy ot
Col. O. M Duke for the senacorship
we quote tlit following from the Fay
lttevill" News :
“We knew not how others may
feel, but we are frank to say that f
Butts County can’t get up better
material for senatorial honors than
the aforesaid gentleman she is in a
bad way and would do well to borrow
from spauldlng and return the pres
ent senator, the Hon. J. J.Flynt.”
The abive smacks somewhat of
overofiloiousness, and the thrusting
in of actvice where it is noither asked
for nor wanted. Col. Duke of course
can’t enter into a controversy with
Editor Culpepper when the price
would be hts own self respect.
A writer in the Review of Review-*
sums up the qualities of the country
weekly paper as follows: ‘‘Each copy
is read notonlv by the people usuall
credited to the ordinary paper bui
twice that number. In many instan
ces subscribers pass their papers on
and on to inmates of less fortunate
aomes. These publications are pre
eminently the home papers of news
paperdom. They are not superficially
scanned while men crawl to business,
then left to brakemen to be gathered
up. They go directly into homes and
the reeding of them is a duty as well
vs u pleasure Hence their peculiat
value as minders of public opinion.
Be happy now. Tomorrow is today
only it hasn’t got here yet.
A prominent physician says that to

it is a cheap remedy and would bene

The Virginia spiderwort apparently
cannot endure a high temperature.
During the day it is wilted and de

revives, ull Its leaves assume a lively
appearance, and the plant appears to
flourish and enjoys its life until the
morning light again returns.

"Dutch courage” means false cour

goes that during the Dutch naval wars
of Charles ll.’s time the captains of
certain of the Hollander ships used
before going into action to set a hogs

mast and bid the men drink.
After nil regrets, life is good. To see

cannot take away—John Sterling.
Bunyan’s Jail Flute.
The most curious story told of John
Bunyan’s life in Bedford jail is this:
To pass away his gloomy hours he
took a leg of his stool and with his
knife fashioned it into a flute. The
keepers repeatedly searched his cell
to find the cause of the music, but
when he heard them coming he would
replace the leg in the stool, and they
never discovered hew the music had
been produced.

was glad to sell her a stamp.

Also to lick the stamp and affix it to

‘Tut It on upside down, please,” she

Charlie."
