Newsy Notes from “Asic”—How can
I keep well?—Giant Mosquites—
Haying Season—What he thinks
of the Georgia Normal College
and business Institute.
The editor of the Chronicle be
lieves in “expansion'' which ac
counts for the increased size of his
paper—it must be as big as any
other weekly and as full to satisfy
its proprietor.
One who knew the history of the
world said that the civilization of a
people and its roads were alike.
Good streets and roads make smooth
go-ahead people. While crooked,
gullied and rooty ones make slow go
ill-tempered ones.
now CAN I KEEP WF.i.r.?
That is the point thousands would
like to know today. Inside any vil
lage drug store the question might
be answered from dozens of labels,
each one promising quick health to
the buyer and consumer. Hut alas,
how many disappointments from the
patent medicine man. The truth is
health is hard to find when once
we’ve lost it. But study your own
case, use common sense, take time
to eat, and time to rest both the in
ward and outward. Beg the favor
of the Blesser.
GIANT MOSQUITOES.
“Dennis what do you do to get
rid of mosquitoes? they are terrible
here. ”
“Ha, dey ain't no whins here to
whut dey is whar 1 bin ivorkin las
week. Dey all galernipers and mos
big as bees, up dar at Mr. Lawsons,
and bite like ein. Dey haves to fite
ein all night and den gits no res.
I liatl ter keep my coat on, tucked
in my finches wul my galluses over
dat til ten o’clock in de inornin, out
in de feai. l’ou dun no nothin bout
skeeters down here.’’
A HAVING SEASON.
Within three miles of our town
not less than a dozen mowers are at
work saving the native hay crop.
Crab and Craw foot grow in every
field and jam during the summer
season without harrow or manure
and needing but water from the
clouds and the merry go-round click
of these mowers during these bright
days, making hay while the sun
shines, is simply charming.
THE G, N. C. AND B. 1.
The Georgia Normal College and
Business Institute looks more like a
thing on paper than a reality but
any one will take the pains to see for
himself he will find it a genuine,
old-time—new time, all day, all
round workshop for developing
brains, hands and person for the
battle of life. The motto of the
principal is not talk, not play,
nor display, but simply “get to
work and do your best."
Asic.
Availing, Tenu.. Jpril 20th, 1808.
I was very bad, down nearly all
the time suffering with my side, back
and kidneys, and would have been
dead long ago without relief. After
taking Dr .1 II McLean’s Liver and
Kidney Balm a few days i found it
was helping me. and by the time the
second bottle was gone I was well
and have been in good health since.
