Wooten Mill, Gu., Jan. 23 1903.
Mr. C. ). Miller, of the firm of
Miller, llatter & Co., lias been
very sick this week but we are
glad to see him out again.
Miss Cora Hatten, of this place,
lias gone to Ashton to take charge
of the Pine Level school. Miss
Hatten is a well accomplished
young lady and we wish her suc
cess in her new field.
A young man of this place
went to see his best girl the other
night, and came back with a pos
sum. Wasn't he lucky. (We
guess the girl was.)
Guess what young lady had her
fortune told while crossing the
river.

THE BOYS IN GRAY.
Our ranks are growing thinner,
Our tep- are growing slow,
Our eye- are getting dimmer.
Our heads are white as snow.
Our forms are bent, but people.
They are ever grand to see,
The boys who fought with Gordon,-
With Jackson, and witji Lee.
We are not so lithe and limber,
As we were in sixty one,
Our eyes are not so sparkling,
For we see our setting sun.
But the hero spirits with them,
As 'twas ever won’t to be.
The boys who stood with Gordon,
With Jackson and with Lee,
Of course our days are numbered,
And soon we’ll pass to rest,
Beneath the sod of Dixie,
The land we loved the best.
But grand will be their memory,
Till time shall cease to be,
The boys who fought with Gordon,
With Jackson and with Lee.
They were never much in numbers,
But they did a noble part,
And won the whole world’s honor,
And their native country’s heart.
Ho, when this struggle’s over,
AIIJ our noble spirits free,
We’ll stand again with Gordon,
With Jackson and with Lee.
To those we leave behind us,
We have a word to say,
When ever your country calls you,
Hay, 1 am here to stay.
The man who would not give his life,
His countries cause to save, ■
Would turn his back contemptously,
On his sainted mother’s Grave.

w? stake rtnr 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 hack to the
inferior kinds. It will prove every
thing we claim for it.
Be sure you get “Clifton” flour,
if you want the best.

A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist church in
Georgia, calculated to use over one
hundred gallons of the usual kind of
mixed paint in painting their church.
They used only 32 gallons of the
Longman & Martinez paint mixed with
24 gallons of linseed oil. Actual cost
of paint made was less than 51.20 per
gallon.
Saved over eighty ($80.00) dollars
in paint, and got a big donation be
sides.
ERA CHURCH will be given a
liberal quantity whenever they paint.
Many houses are well painted with
four gallons of L. & M. and three gal
lons of linseed oil mixed therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.
These Celebreted Paints are sold by
Watt-Harley-Holmes Hardware Com
pany.
