What Was He
(by dr. frank crake)
I am glad, said the invalid, that
1 have two sides.
Why? I asked.
Recause when I get tired of
lying on one side I can turn on
the other.
That's a queer thing to be thank
ful for.
Oh, I don’t know. Think of
how many people tnere who are
so freely they can’t turn over. I
have to lie abed all dav, and 1
oiten think of the poor devils who
are' sicker than I, and cannot
change position.
But how many more there are
who are better off than vou,
heaLhy people can walk about,
while you must lie here and suffer.
Aren’t you sorry for yourself
when you think of them.
Sorry for myseif? Oh, no.
have my troubles, but not that
one, thank heaven!
What do you mean?
I mean what trouble I have is
boclily, Being sorry for mvseif is
a disease of the minn. Fate has
spared me that, I have no end
of things to be glad over.
What is it, some kind of relig-
ion? it
No. Just sense. I worked
out for mvseif I found out that
mv feelings depend on a good deal
upon the direction I look- If I
compare my condition with that
of those more fortunate than I
it makes me unhaipv. I dont
want to be gloomy, and it so 1 m-
portant an object can be attained
bv projecting mv thoughts the
right way, why not do it? It
so simple thing to do.
I know, but vou can’t getaway
from facts. You are bedridden.
Facts are relative. There are
no absolute facts, The moon
seems as big as a barrel when it
is just above the horizon, and the
of a saucer when high in the
size
skv. Which is its real size?
Neither. all matter ot re-
Correct. Its a
irO'-ton non A dollar is as big as a
you tave only ten oents

v it ounce.
PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FRANKLIN COUNTY AND ITS READERS.
Several other prominent speak,
ers will ho present both today and
tomoriovv. Mrs. Claud Tribble
is numbered as 010 of the promi
nent readers of the conventi) n
and as usual, she wiU have a good
paper.
The members of the Carnesville
Baptist church should take dinner
both days as the members of
Cross Roads church have always
been liberal toward our church
on such occasions. Many have
already expressed their willingness
to help entertain the delegates.
All in all this will be the best
contion ever held in Tugalo Asso¬
ciation as much interest is being
manifested throughout the com¬
munity. Each one must do his
or her part.
to vour name, but if you have a
big rool of fifty dollar bill a dol¬
lar is nothing.
' «You are quite a phiospher.
A while ago you suggested I
was some . sori of a religionist.
Why do you insist on labelling
me? Can't a person just think
clearly and act sanely without
belonging to sometlvng?
I suppose so.
No. I have simply discovered
and proved to myself, that 1 have
inside of me the machine that
manulactures cm tent or discon
tent. It is my mind. And 1
found out I can control it. I used
to think it controlled me. 1 have
one thing that distresses me; its
that bad leg. So I turn my mind
a wav from it as much as possible.
Cut I have a hundred things
about me that are pleasant. 1
have mv wife, I can sleep pretty
well, my ‘apnitite is good, I can
read, I can talk, my nurse is an
agreeable person, I carl play chess
On, there are a Jot of things.
As a matter of fact, 1 have never
been waited on and pampered be
fore in my life, and I rather en
jov it.
Oh, I see, you’re one of those—
There, there! For goodness
don’t pigeonhole me.

Where Old Glory Plows

Up and down in all the land and all the seas between;
Brave and bold against the sky, and cle; r and fair and clean;
Winding through the wilderness, or 0.1 the beaten track:
Half the way around the world—and more than that,and back.
Wnil her Old Glory go? But whither has it gone?
Mark the way ot honor that it has net smildd upon.
Snapping frem the the halyard blocks of argosy and fleet;
Fluttering to fife and drum that time the marching feet;
Beaten back the driven spray, and blazing o’es the sand—
It has led a starry way —a wav through all the lands.
Whither Old Glory go? But whither has it gone?
Where the spot it has not held the glory of the dawn?
Men have gone beneath it o’er the hills and o’er the waves;
Men feel its caresses while they slumber in their graves,
Red and white and blue it glows against the bending skv,
Fringing everywhere it goes new iustreto the eye,
Whither Old Glory go? But whither has it gone?
Tell the miles it lias not traced—the wav it has not won!
Does One Foot real-
ly Walk Faster
Which foot walks the faster?
You may think this is a very silly
question to ask, but it isn t. If
you will take a pavement that is
clear, and walk briskly m t; e
centre, >ou will find, bifore you
have gone 50 yards, that you have
veered very much to one side,
You must not make any
ofeourse, to keep in the centre
but if you will thir.k of something
ami endeavor to walk naturally
you will w t be able to keep a
correct line. If vou loose your¬
self on an expanse of bleak rnoor-
laund, and walk on, you will cle
scribe a complete circle.
The explnnition of this is said
to lie in t,ne propensity of one
loot to walk faster than the other
or take a longer stride than the
other, causing you to walk to
walk to one side.
To make assurance doubly sure
trv placing two sticks about eight
teetapait then stand off 00 feet
blindfold yourself, and endeavor
to walk between them. It isa.1-
mos' impossible. —Atunta Journal

What You Can Grow in a Garden
Planted Now *
It is not yet too late to grow a
good supply of vegetables, even
if you have not had a garden so
far this year,
Tnereis among amatuer garden
ers and unwritten tradition ihat
g rdens must he planted m the
spring. As a matter of fact a
complete garden may he planted
successfully as late as the middle
of.lulv. There are approximate¬
ly 100 days of growing weather
after the date, while the majority
of vegfables require less than 5*0
days to bo ready f .r use. It is a
fact that nature does most of her
seed sowing, not in the spring, bn*
duting the summer and evrly fall.
One of the chief reasons why
summer planting is not carried
on inoie extensively m that, in
many sections ot the country, we
usually have at that time a dry
condition of the soil that delays
or interferes with germination.
Red White And
Blue
“I think tin's war is ter'ibJe,”
the FJower Maiden said. "The
,q,]jj e f c ]| s ns that, by man, shall
no n , an ’ g pj 00( j be shed.” J1 1 r
stalwart friend glanced around
the shop, then, gently', smillmgly,
chose viol els, carnation red, a
rose—the liannonv of color that
he loved because ’twas red wiiite
and blue! “In circumstances us
ual,” he said, “I hold, with you
peace is perfect Paradise;
but read the word again; perhaps
’twill after your belief—blood’s
not been shed in vain!” Then
suddenly, there came a crash! A
drunken brute burst in; be
seized the frighten flower maid—
g p 0 ke insults word of sin. The
stalwart man who loves iris flag,
peace, strcck just one blow— and
there was blood, a coward’s blood
The friends of peace spoke low.
“Take these, our Nation’s colors
dear; forevet keep them pressed—
in llahburtons book, perhaps;
your court will do the rest; for
there are certain cases when a
man just can’t resist the voice in¬
side him, crying, “Strike!” “I’m
off, dear to enlist!”— Robert Rus-
sall.
Notice to Public
Notice is hereby given that
here will be introduced at tins
of the General Assembly, the tol
lowing Bill to wit:
A Bill to abolish the City Court,

hook; delicata. Turnips: white
milan; golden ball; amber globe.
The things to hurry with.
'While all of the things mention
ed above will have time to devel-
ope to good table size, there are
some which take lonper than
others, and these should include
heels, cartots, sweet corn, ruta
b.agas, and eucumoers. With all
of them it is essentail to use only
the earliest varieties, as suggested
above.
Getting a strong start with
late plantings. Success with
these late p’anted vegetables, de¬
pends to a large extent on getting
a strong germination and quick
stark m growth. To make as
sure as possible of this, there are
three points to oe. kept m mind.
Plant on a freshly prepared sur
face. Firm the seed well m the
sod. the latter is at all dry. Pro
vide a fertilizer high in available
nitrogen to assure a robust early
growth.
What you can plant now. The
list of vegest ibles which can still
be grown this year is big enough
tc satisfy anv beginner. It in¬
cludes: Beans, beets, cabbage,
Cauliflower, brussels sprouts. Kale
celery, swifs chard, sweet corn
endive, shot r<ibl, letsuce, peas,
ruta Ingas, spinach,
squash, and turnips of the above
vegestables, cabbage, cauliflower,
bi usseis sprout, Kale, and celery,
may b > obtained locally in plants
already started. If you can get
the plants, there is still plenty of
time for tomatoes. They will be
in their prime during September
early October, when the local
crop is pretty well gone bv, and
both ripe and green tomatoes for
making pickles and prase rves, are
hard to get.
The other vegestables in the
list above, should be started now
from seed. There is one ooint
about which care should be .siken
however, that is for late planting
use early varieties,
This advise may seem puiadoxi
cal at first, but w 11 appear com-
rnonsense on a moments reflection
The following are all good sorts:
Beans strangles green pod, Yal
