From Round Oalc.
Our tow n was visited one day
last week by Mr. J. H. Meeks who
gave me quite an interesting lit¬
tle account of what a valuable
weather bureau the “yaller ham¬
mers” of tliis country had inaug¬
urated. He told mo what they did
to indicate the approach of warm
weather, but as there is no proba¬
bility of a July day in November
we need not bother with that
point. To indicaterain the afore¬
said birds will hung around trees
with holes in them and old unoc¬
cupied houses. To warn us of the
approach of cold weather they
carry acorus to holes iu trees,
push them into cracks in houses
and job them under the ends and
edges of boards and shingles. As
showing how firmly Mr, Meeks be¬
lieves in this acorn business, the
day lie was here ho adviced mo to
tell all who had anything that
could be injured by a freeze to
look out, all who were out of wood
to haul some and alt who had
hogs to kill to get ready for it, for
a oold snap was coming. When I
asked why he thought so he told-
me that the “ynller hammer*”
were carrying acorns and jobbing
them, with their bills, under the
boards of some of his houses.
Well, I told a to
look, out for cold weather, and
when I told them why, they
laughed. Rut the freeze enmo sure
enough, and then it was my timo
to laugh, because some of them
were caught out ou the very points
My. Meeks mentioned. “Live and
leariT, the terrapin said when
he fell off a slick log into the
water./
George Hadaway says ho went
through the civil war, “fit, bled
and died” but never had to dig up
a stump until he hired to Dr.
White. He says that digging up
stumps is certainly the hardest
work any one ever did aud if ever
he biros to another man it must
be understood that there is to be
no stump digging.
Judging from the number of in¬
vitations scattered around pro¬
miscuously ton matrimonial tra¬
peze performance at Milledgeville
on December 1, in which W. II.
Barron of Round Ouk is the star
nctor, one would suppose that J R
Walker’s “East Round Oak bach¬
elor” would go hence after that
date. If the great “B” were liv¬
ing here now and writing for Thk
News ho would lose a great pari
of liis newspapor thunder after
the performance of December 1,
which puts an end to tho East
Round Oak bachelor. Then I guess
he would say, “Let us prey,” but
ou some other bachelor.
The cotton crop is about all
marketed, corn crop gathered,
turnip seed planted and wheat
and fall oats planted. Now the
farmers, especially the Afro-
Americnn brand, are having a fine
largo time doing nothing, and I
suppose they are almost sure they
can hold tho job until the middle
of February at least, if Vances
begin iu December.
The irrepressible Ham Holland
was here again Monday but not
foolip’ with the suction pipe at
the ginnery any more. Come any
time, Ham, we are glad to see
your smiles and enjoy your stock

Mrs. Emmie Postel and son,
Carlisle, are visiting the family of
Ciipt. F. S. Johnson. We are al¬
ways glad of the coming ef Mrs.
Postel. She never fails to brighten
social things.
Judge R. IT. Bonner of Clinton
gave us a pop call last Monday,
judging from his looks, Mrs. Bon¬
ner must be stall feeding him. He
is getting as-fat as a boar. Don’t
near look like he did while play¬
ing bachelor, when Mrs. Bonner
took him in tow.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR
CROUP.
[From Atchison, K.m.. Daily Globe.]
This is the s. aeon when th.i
woman who knows the best reme¬
dies for croup is in demand in ev¬
ery neighborhood. One of
most terrible t hings in tho world
is to be awakened in the
of the night by a whoop from one
of the children. The croup reme¬
dies are almost as sure to bo lost,
in case of croup, ns a revolver is
stiro to bo lost in case of burglars.
There used to bo an
lenrody for croup, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy is better and does
not cost so much. It causes the
patient to “throw up the phlegm ♦ J
quicker, and gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears
mid it will prevent the attack.
It liover fails and is pleasant
and absolutely safe to take.

“One of my children was taken
with croup colic and suffered se¬

The Reason
We sold more vehicles last year
than dealers that have been in tho
business for the last quarter of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming more ex-
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now in'quality. Thry
next consider the price. That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mat¬
ter. Quality and prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the bent wagons and buggies
and then buy them so we oau
undersell our competitors,
We got all the discounts off by
paying spot cash.
Wo can prove nil we eay to be
true. Call and lot as do it.
