Carrolton Bonds Not Validated.
An interesting and important legal
matter was decider! by Judge R. W.
F’reenmn, in Newnnn, Monday, when
Ids honor refused to validate the
bonds recently voted for public im¬
provements by tine city of Carrollton.
Carrollton voted bonds to the
amojjnt of |4(),000, the money to be
expended in completing the city’s
sewer system, for macadamizing the
streets and in the erection of a city
hall. Three-fourths of the votes cast
in the sjieeial election were in favor
of bonds, but certain citizens of Car¬
rollton who oppose the issuing oj
bonds contested the validation of
the bond issue and won their ease be¬
fore Judge Freeman. Judge Free¬
man refused to validate the bonds be¬
cause of an error in tiie time of pub¬
lishing advertisement of the bond
election and' because the advertise¬
ment Hik'd to state what part of the
#40,000 was to be expended for each
of the several purposes for which the
bond issue is desired.

employed in the Central of Georgia
Railway yards at this point, was
slightly injured in tiie right side and
arm yesterday by being caught lie-
tweeu two cars while working on an
air hose.
The engineer did not know that
the inspector was in a dangerous po¬
sition and it is fortunate that the lu¬
ll ries were so slight.
THE HOME DOCTOR.
Remove waits by rubbing Several
times with onion dipped hi salt.
Butter will take the soreness from a
bruise ami will often prevent discolora¬
tion.
When tiie gums are tender and bleed¬
ing, the mouth should he rinsed with
warm witter to which lister:ne has
been added.
Grape fruit is said to have, in smaller
degree, qualities similar to those of
quinine and will allay inflammation

en lit time.
Novel ileglect a sore throat. A good
gargle can lie made by mixing in equal
quantities a teaspoouful of salt and
carbonate of soda and dissolving these
in half a tumbler of cold water.
A splendid laxative sirup may be
made as follows: Put a half pound of
raisins, prunes and figs to soak in
three pints of cold water. Bottle the
sirup after two days and take a fa
Idespootiful night arid morning.
ClOth Cold Without lee.
Iu case of fever or weakness a cold
cloth on the forehead or face or base
of tin' brain is one of the most com¬
forting things in the world. In the
tropical hospitals and where ice is
scarce all that is necessary is to wet
a linen cloth, wave it to and fro in tiie
air, fold it and place it on the patient.
Have another cloth ready, waving it to
and fro just before applying it. These
cloths have a more grateful and lasting
coo!; e s than those made so by the ex¬
treme cold, sometimes called burning
cold or ice.

Salted Pecan n.
Salted pecans are even more delicious
than salted almonds. They are rarely
prepared at home for the reason that
the nuts are difficult to remove ’from
the shells without breaking the meats.
This difficulty is entirely overcome by
pouring boiling water over the nuts,
letliug the water cool on them. Crack
by striking small ends of nuts and
salt as you would almonds.
