When you get the gardening
fever it is a sure sign of spring.
Now is a good time to do that
building. Get something started.
The knocker reminds us of a
sore spot on a clean skin, says
The Griffin News.
Here is the idea. Demand
home-grown products and do bus
iness with home merchants.
Congress having adjourned
some of the boys can come home
and plant their spring gardens.
Now that Georgia has anew
federal judgeship on her hands
what is she going to do with it?
The sap is rising, the baseball
training season is at hand and
the fish will soon be biting. Get
busy.
Lock the doors, turn out the
lights and let the European bul
lies fight it out to their hearts
content.
The recent grand jury covered
the ground about as concisely as
any similar body we’ve seen in
some time.
Even the preachers in Atlanta
are rearing up on their hind legs
and saying saucy things to each
other. The Atlanta spirit is get
ting belligerent.
There is one thing about this
foreign war. Our people are get
ting accustomed to it and will
be in better condition this fall
than they were a year ago.
The new Fulton county court
house having already cost more
than a million dollars, with more
to come, the grand jury of that
county wants a lower tax rate.
The Jasper county grand jury
recommended that the office of
county treasurer be abolished.
It was also recommended that
one commissioner be provided
for in place of three as at present.
Savannah is after cheaper gas.
If she could confine some of the
gas being wasted on that new
judgeship the product ought to
be cheap enough. Butts County
Progress.
But it is valuable as the other
kind, or will be, if they annex
some of that admiralty practice
it is designed to procure.—Macon
Telegraph.
WHO’S WHO AT HOME?
The home merchant. Who is
he? asks the Newport Plain Talk
and proceeds to tell us in the fol
lowing lines:
“He is the chap who gives you
credit when you are financially
broke and carries your account
until you are able to pay.
“He is the chap who gives you
back your money or makes ex
changes when you are not satis
fied with what you have bought.
“He is the chap who stands
behind his guaranty and makes
restoration of all losses that you
may sustain on goods you buy.”
It is to be regretted that the
recent Butts county grand jury
did not recommend that the Coun
ty Commissioner buy home-raised
products, as far as possible, for
the chaingang. But we believe
Mr. Gaston will do that, anyway.
The movement is state-wide and
is bound to have a wholesome ef
fect in encouraging the growing
of more foodstuffs.
A Terrell county negro sold
SSOO worth of sweet potatoes the
past season, getting $1 a bushel
for his crop of 500 bushels after
reserving fifty bushels for his
own use. There is an example
of crop diversification and prac
tical marketing methods. —Tif
ton Gazette.
If the above negro will tell us
where he found a market for 500
bushels of sweet potatoes, we
will greatly appreciate the favor.
The trouble with the farmers gen
erally is that they have not yet
founda sure and steady market for
such produce as sweet potatoes.
It is not any trouble to raise
them, but it is not every farmer
that can find a means of dispos
ing of them in large quantities
at a profitable figure.—Dublin
Courier- Herald.
TAKES OFF DANDRUFF

Save Your Hair! Get a 25c
Bottle of Danderineßight
Now—Also Stops Itch
ing Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless andscrag
gy hair is mute evidence of a neg
lected scalp; of dandruff—that
awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive
to the hair as dandruff. It robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life; eventually pro
ducing a feverishness and itching
of the scalp, which if not reme
died causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die —then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine tonight—now—any time —
will surely save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowl
ton’s Danderine from any drug
store. You surely can have beau
tiful hair and lots of it if you just
try a little Danderine. Save your
hair! Try it! ad

Shows You the Way to
Avoid it.

the agonies of kidney complaint, back
ache, urinary disorders, lameness,
headaches, languor, why allow piem
selves to become chronic invalids,
when a tested remedy is offered them.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have been used
in kidney trouble over 50 years, have
been tested in thousands of cases.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, act now.
Dropsey or Bright’s disease may set in
and make neglect dangerous. Read
this Jackson testimony.
I. H. Miller, Pastor of Presbyterian
church, Mulberry st., Jackson, says:
“I w’as almost down with m.v back
and suffered severely, especially in the
morning. I had other symptons of
kidney trouble. I used Doan’s Kidney
Pills and they relieved the pains in my
back and the other symptoms of kid
ney trouble went away. I usually keep
Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand and
when my kidneys annoy me, they nev
er fail to give relief.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Cos.,

after she had bloomed into wo
manhood. We all loved Laura.
She was so cheerful and kind,
but now she has gone away.
When our Savior was here on the
earth and after He had finished
His work and established His
church, He said these words: “It
is expedient that I should go
away. If I go not away the com
forter will not come, but if I go
away I will send you a comfort
er and he shall abide with you
forever.”
During her long sickness her
soul was only pluming its pinions
for a lofty flight to that city
whose builder is God, and whose
gates are not shut neither by day
nor by night. She is now bath
ing her soul in the clear waters
of that river that flows by the
throne of God.
