Tea Talk.
You Know that mixed tea made up of green
and black is more suitable for hot tea than for cold? That there is a
wide difference between this mixed tea and a blended tea, composed
of two black teas, both ripe?
That we have just taken on a good quality of this sound blended
tea, composed of India and Ceylon leaf, Tetley’s brand, for your use
during these hot summer months?

Let us all get togetherand have,
a ‘ ‘road working. ’ ’ Let every
man in the county contribute
something, a day’s work, a team,
or his services in some way and
what is more important let every
body in the county lend his
moral support to the good roads
movement. ’We haven’t mc*ey
and the convicts to work our
roads but by every man doing
his part we will soon have some
good roads. Get together.
Editors all over the state think j
good roads mean more to the one
horse farmer than to anybody |
else. We think so too. We do
not believe in building good roads
tor the sole benefit of the auto
mobile owner. If there is any
body else that does we have not
tound him yet.

SHOWER FOR MISS HAM
A delightful social feature of
the week was the meeting of the
Sewing Club Wednesday after
noon when Mrs. A. T. Buttrifl
was the charming and gracious
hostess, at her palatial home on
McDonough street At the meet
ing last week the members had
planned a silk shower as a sur
prise for Miss Bessie Ham, one
of the most popular members of
the Club and a bride-elect of
June. Each member was request
ed to bring:
“Nine pieces four inches square,
None dark, all light and fair;
Bring your thimble, do well your
part,
And help to give this bride a
start.”
It was quite a merry crowd
sewing and the honoree seemed
puzzled as to why all members
should happen to bring ihe same
kind of fancy work. When the
! squares were finished and the
names of the donors embroidered
on the middle block they were
all lain on a cloth and votes were
taken as to the prettiest, Mrs. R.
P. Newton coming firsthand Miss
Hattie Buttrill a close second.
The first and second prizes, a pin
holder and pin cushion both in
fancy designs, were presented
by the lucky winners to Miss
Ham who was also given the
honor prize a lovely little ribbon
holder in delicate shades of blue.
It proved quite a pleasant sur
prise to Miss Ham who was as
sured with every stitch there was
woven a loving wish for her.
Late in the afternoon delightful
cream and wafers was served.

Trusses
rsfoj
Buying a truss is easy enough,
but deserves a little thought.
Rupture is 100 serious to leave
to guesswork. You should get
the truss that fits exactly.
In our truss department we
have all styles and sizes and can
fit you.
Belts and Bandages
Stout persons can be made
more comfortable by using a belt
to support the abdomen.
It will lessen the girth, and pre
vent strain of the abdominal mus
cles.

Good roads are coming. The
time of reform and regeneration
is at hand. The work of the fu
ture is the work of building up
and developing natural resources.
This is a work the whole people
can take part in. It requires no
legislation to tell the people of
this county what they need.

Caterers to the best Trade
The Farmers’ Union is doing
some mighty good work in these
times of high prices by trying to
get the people of the state to live
at home. Every farmer that
lives at home is a king, a right
royal sovereign. And it beats
living out of a paper sack ten to
one.
Land in Butts county averages
around $40.00 an acre while land
in Monroe county is worth around
$15.00 an acre. Isn’t this plain
that we have the best county in
the whole state? Good roads
will make land worth several
times more than it is now.
