RATTLIN’ OB DE BONES.
Dare’s a high falutin’ nigger,
Calls his sef Jno. Henry Jones;
An he sholly is a good one,
In de ratting of de bones.
He went wid some odder niggers
On a midnight serenade,
An he shuck dose bones so lively
Dat he laid dem in de shade.
He cud play on de pianna,
An of instruments oder ones,
But wha he did excel his sef
Was de rattling of de bones.
Seem like he rattled de bones de dest
If some the white folks wed, |
He sho would ’tract attention |
Dat am sholy what I said.
Dar’s a story in de Bible
Bout de rattling of de bones. d
Dis heah nigger mus a been dar,
Dis same Jno. Henry, Jones. -

- People with kidney ills want to be
wured. When one suffers the tor
ures of an aching back, relief is
agerly sought for. There are many
‘emedies today that relieve, but do
wt cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
wrought lasting results to thousands.
Jere is Cordele evidence of their
nerit. H. B. Wilson, 506 Seventh St..
Jordele, Says: “I had such severe
ains in the small of my back that I
vas unable to do any work for a week
it a time. Often I could hardly get
wound at all. The kidney secretions
vere scanty at times then again too
requent in passage and highly col
yred. Sometimes I could hardly get
Ip, owing to the sharp, shooting pains
nmy back. I was bothered by dizzi
-les too. Two boxes of Doan’s Kidney
’lls cured me and I haven’s had any
rouble since.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Noan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
vir. Wilson had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Agricultural Extension
Factor In Georgia
Forty Thousand People Are
- )1
Co-Operating
J. PHIL CAMPBELL, Director Exten
sion Service, Ga. St. Col. Of Agr,
According to statistics, Georgia
leads all states in the Union in many
important phases of agricultural ex
tension work. Georgia has the largest
enrollment in Boys’ Corn Clubs, the
largest number of farmers, farmers’
wives, farm boys and girls organized
into agricultural work and the best pig
club results of any state.
The extension work of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture was in
augurated in 1908, and has grown until
there are now 15 field specialists, 84
district and county farm agents and
49 agents in home cconomics. These
and othcer agricultural workers at the
College of Agriculture comprise a
force of 200 people working as a unit
to carry out a definite program of agri
cultural improvement in Georgia.
The annual report of the Director
of Extension Service of the College of
Agriculture has just been completed,
‘which reveals many interesting figures
‘as to the work done by this force dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1916.
The extension workers are the bear
ers of usable information taken from
the storehouse of agricultural knowl
edge represented by the College of Ag
riculture. No more popular move
ment has been fostered by legislation
in recent years than this of carrying
out information to the farmers. A
schedule of appropriations proposed by
the Smith-Lever bill makes possible
sums of money with which the colos
sal enterprise may be undertaken.
That Georgia is getting its money’s
worth in service rendered and wealth
and happiness created, can be judged
from the results which the reports
show.
40,000 People Co-Operating
The annual report of extension work
shows that 41,000 rural people of Geor
gia were enrolled and had done defi
nite work in advanced linés of agri
culture during the year, Of this num
ber farmers and farmers’ wives who are
enlisted as demonstrators in home eco
nomic work constitute 21,000, the re
mainder being members of boys’ and
girls' clubs.

BECKER STOLE MILLIONS,
BUT DIED IN POVERTY
New York, Sept. 19.—The death here
almost a week of Charles Becker, who
won international notoriety as a for
ger and a penman of skill, became
known here today. Hé died in poverty,
according to his friends.
Becker once stole 5,000,000 francs,
approximately $1,000,000, from the
Bank cof France, tarough his for
geries, and witli confederates was
successful in simiarly obtaining
enormous sums from banks in Rus
sia and Turkey. In the last named
country he was arrested, but escaped
from prison.
A life sentence behind bars for
raising a $2 check to $22,000 was
Becker's apparent future fate in Cal
ifornia twenty years ago, but his re
lease was brought about by the
American Bankers’ Association. Beck
er was 68 years old when he died.
