An Ohio editor says that hay fever is caused by kissing grass widows. An lowa editor thinks it is caused by kiss ing a hired girl while she is feeding hay to the cow. A wise Kansas editor is of the opinion that it is caused by missing the girl and kissing the cow.

A young woman missionary lately ar rived in Japan wants everybody to know there is a country on earth where people seem to enjoy life as if it were all an endless dream of fruits, dowers, lakes and mountains. It is pleasant to know there is a nation on earth where people enjoy themselves. In the midst of our grinding, straining society, where peo ple get up before daylight to cheat and get the better of another in a bargain: where they break down from nervous prostration and grow old, blind and deaf before their time trying to get rich, it is blissful just to read of a people that live to enjoy themselves and help others en joy themsemselves —a land whose inhab itants are all gentle polite and good natured and inclined to be honest. By the way, what do we want to convert the Japanese for? It is a downright shame that Jackson doesn’t even pay as much for cotton as hei sister cities in this immediate vicini ty. Wa have the best cotton market in Middle Georgia and our buyers can pay as much or more for ootton than any town in this neighborhood. It gives a place a black eye to be groping along in the rear with prices on cotton, and one of our largest merchants told us no later than yesterday that if things didn’t change there would be some firms leav ing here very shortly. Now this is not as it should be. Considering the low prices of cotton, our buyers can at least give as much as Flovilla, Griffin, Jenkinsburg and McDonough. But we remember a day not long since when they didn’t do it. Brace up, gentlemen, you are all good men, and we feel proud of you, but when the reputation cf our thriving lit tle town is at state we dismiss everything from our minds save facts and the prog ress of Jackson. Come, now, get a move on you, and see what a change will come over this thriving, bustling burgof ours. A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE. D. VV. Fuller, of Cauijoharie, JV.
