Mr. Small, of Brunswick, went
to Atlanta last week and wrote a

The news comes from Washing

nobly, and that they led in the in
augural parade. There’s nothing
surprising about that. Teddy

colored brothers, and he is stick

Money in purse dispels melan
choly. The dear old folks will not
be with you long, so be patient
with them. You, too. will be old
some day. If grandma wants to
help a little—let her do it, even if
it takes her longer than it would
you. It will help to make the day
shorter for her.
<s><s><s>
Stretch yourself out on the settee
a few minutes every day. You
have no idea how it will rest-you
if you have never tried it. Dro
all the hurry and worry and unbend
a little. The bow that is always
strung soon loses its springand hits
no mark. This applies to woman
folks as well as to men folks.

Sometimes farmers get it into
their heads tl at they can carry on
three or four kinds of business at
the same time, on the same farm.
Takes a pretty strong man to do
this, and thousand- have found this
out only when their pocketbooks
were empty and their health and
strength gone.
Every farmer should be shy of
the stove men who are all the time
traveling about the country. They
charge twice as much as their stoves
are worth. Not one farmer out of
a dozen but regrets his purchase, if
he should be wheedled into buying
one of the stoves. The best wa\
is, to buy of men at home who are
responsible.

An exchange says: “Ida M
Tarbell announces that she is going

articles. Speaking of Ida, we are
reminded that Nemesis was a wo

that know that women are not the
only sleuth hounds.

No woman should marry for tin
sake of being supported. At tin

Ellis matter of providing a I'vel.i

Russian women ire being sold at
auction to men who take them to
Egypt and other countries and sell
them again. The chief market is
Odessa. A man. when in need of
money, will dispose of his wife or
daughters to the highest bidder.
The women are often required tc
strip before the buyers to show she
has no blemishes that would injure
her future sale. How would you
