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.

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.

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.

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.
