Please Don’t Spit
On the Floor
Our friends are requested
when calling on us, to leave
their quid at the door. We
expect, after awhile, to buy a
five cent goods box and fill it
with sand for your special
benefit, but in the meantime
please don’t spit on the

Coodys District
The Butts County Farmers
Union met with the Elgin
Lodge, with Mr. John
Gaston, the county president,
in the chair. It was a red
letter day for the Union. Not
only the men but the ladies
were there also, which gave
much tone to the occasion.
After the business was
over, Bro. W. W. Leverett,
president of the Elgin Lodge,
called that body to order and
initiated 14 ladies into the
Union, including Mesdames
Felicia Wise, Rosa Thaxton,

‘Tis a Trifle Risky
Boys! Boys! Are you
aware of the dreadful risks
you run in fooling with
sharp-teethed pretty girls?
In a lecture at Middletown,
Conn. Tuesday night, Prof.
W. D. Miller, of the
University of Berlin, an
nounced solemnly that a bite
of a pretty girl would often
bring a quicker and more
terrible death than the bite of
a serpent.
Professor Miller, who has
made a special study of the
bacteria of the mouth, said
that only a short time ago he
experimented on a beautiful
girl in Germany and found
that an arrow dipped in
saliva from her mouth would
send its victim to a death
more terrible than one
dipped in the venom of the
most deadly snake. What
risks we men have been
taking. Makes us shiver even
now.—The Jacksonian, July
26. 1907.

except to run a furrow in our
cotton a little later on. I went
down to the branch where the
beetles are in time with the
song of the rainbow, lay down
on a sand bar, put my head
on a chunk and quietly went
to sleep. You may talk about
fashionable watering places
and sea side resorts. But
there is nothing that will beat
being out in the country
where the morning glory
plays hide and seek in the
good old summer time,
especially when plenty of
roasting ears, fried chicken
and watermelon are in
evidence. Plowhandles.—

Riding the Dummy
We hope our friends, and
the public generally, will not
crowd our cars on Sunday
during Camp Meeting.
We can haul you to the
Camp Meeting and return
with safety and with plea
sure.
But the crowds that ride
back and forth between the
Camp Ground and the Spring
make it unpleasant.
When the platforms and
footboards are full it is
dangerous.
We hope our friends will
help us out of so much
Sunday work. W. F. Smith.—

“It will frost between the 10th

a dry year, with short yield of
cotton and all grown crops
