doing away with delay in going to
Brunswick. We hope so, any way.

Lit. UK OK TIIK VaJM.KY.
HRS. GRUNDY SAYS
tThat you can’t get a
long with God in one hand
and the devil in the other.
No, you can’t.
That you may think you
have the best of an enemy
when, like the worm, he,ll
turn and stingyou to death. He’ll
treat you right, too.
That Grundy wanted her to go to
a leap year party last week with
him, but she wouln’t. She took a
fearful leap when she married him
and he can’t work his rabbit foot
on her any more. Now, pin that
in your hat!
That ignorance of the law ex
cuses no one, but it often time com
pel!! some fool to retire from its
practice in order to keep from star
ving. You’ll find a few samples
in every village.
That the person who fails at
everything he ever attempted ex
cept to swindle, cheat and lie. is
always wanting to try to do some
thing another is succeeding at, and
he makes another failure.
That truth crushed to earth will
rise again, and a religious santi
monious white-wash will not hide
the devil’s foot-prints. Strong
language but true.
That the most inconsiderate
scoundrel is the man who, to ac
complish what he can’t, fairly,
stoops so low as to do to another
what he wouldn’t like to have done
to him.
That forbearance sometimes be
comes vexatious and the unsuspec
ting meddler in other people’s af
fairs gets his nose mashed or the
top of his head slapped off. Such
has happened in the past.

A Waycross merenant wrote us
last week that he had sent us a lot
of handbills advertising his goods
for sale, which he desired us to have
distributed, and so last Monday
they came with 25c fre’ght dues.
We returned them, as the proper
way for people to do who wants
the trade of Douglas is to advertise
in the Breeze. We are not adver
tising for merchants who show us
no favors, besides we have local
merchants who support the Breeze
and deserve the trade of the people
of Douglas. The Douglas .Supply
Co., for dry goods and Markey for
groceries ; Bob Lee for Hardware
and Hart Furniture Co., and Doug
las Furniture Co., for furniture.
J No, we don’t pay freight bills and
scatter handbills for out of town
! merchants who don’t advertise in
the Breeze.
Mrs- Georsre T. Bailey Dead-
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 7. —Airs.
George T. Bailey died at her home
in this city this morning, after an
illness of only a few days. In fact,
Mrs. Bailey was not considered
seriously ill until a few hours be
fore she passed away. She has
been residing in Brunswick all of
her life, and had an unusually large
number of friends. She leaves her
mother, Airs. Theodore Crovatt, a
husband and two children, Attor
nej' Woodford Mabry and Miss
Dora Alabry, and one brother, May
or A. S. Crovatt.
Air. Bailey is in Douglas and did
not know his wife was ill, while
her son was in Alacon on a busi
ness trip. They have *both been
wired the sad news. The cause of
her death is said to have been acute
indigestion.
The Breeze regrets to learn of
Airs. Bailey’s death. While vve
did notjknow her, still, we sympa
thize with the husband and son.
Only Results Tell-
There is little or no difference in
the appearance of flour, but there
is all the difference in the world in
results.
“Clifton” flour will produce
light, white, wholesome bread—
you know from sad experience just
what other kinds will do.
For more bread and better bread,
use our “Clifton” every time.
M MiKEY Trading Co.
One of our subscribers for three
months, said he liked the Breeze, if
it wasn’t for the advertisements.
We are sorry lie is displeased, but
advertisers furnish the oil that
keeps the machine going—not the.
subscribers alone, but they help,
and if he would read the advertise
ments carefully he might save
enough money on his purchases to
pay for the Breeze a whole year in
stead of three months.
We Stake Our Claim
of flour excellence upon the flour
itself—it’s the very best kind of
evidence.
We know that if you will just
try our flour once for yourself, you
will never want to go back to the
inferior kinds. It will prove every
thing we claim for it.
Be sure you get “Clifton” flour,
if you want the best.
