She's been engaged to a dozen a men
Within a year or two,

PURE PESSIMISM.
I
Women go to sewing clubs
And always hire a cook ;
People go to reading clubs
And never buy a book;
Women go to sewing clubs
And never make a seam ;
People join the writing clubs
And never spoil a ream.
People go to golfing clubs
Ami never find the tee:
People lead in boating clubs
Who never see the sea;
People join athletic clubs.
And still their strength is weak;
People in debating clubs
Are seldom known to speak.
People in amusement clubs
Declare this lite a bore;
Those in peace-procuring clubs
Are always out for gore;
Those who fill the singing clubs
Are destitute of song—
That’s the look of all the clubs
Toone who can’t belong.

12% to 15 cents per pound This is
conclusive evidence that farmers

Letter to Allen Little.
Griffin, Ga.
Dear Sir: A big mill-owner
Spartansburg, S u, wanted 5 000
gallons of paint, and bought by
price ; paid 5 cents less than ours ;
got a “lead-and-zino” paint; but the
lead was sulphate of lead, not car
bonate. Sulohate costs about half ;
and covers about ha’f.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as tbe 5 cents naid
for. He ‘ saved” 5 cents; and it
cost him 30
Oh no ; it cost him tban that;
we forgot tbe labor. Can’t work it
out exactly ; don’t know how long
it'll wear,
Short-measure besides ;that alone
was twice as much as his "saving”
5 cents.
It was thin, too ; some loss there ;
don’t know how much
There was too much dryer in it
The maker made something on that;
he didn’t.
Taking it altogether, he didn’t
make much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name ; and the name is
Devoe lead-atid zinc

Death of Mr, H. b. Watt,
The many friends of Mr. Henry
S. Watt were shocked and deeply
grieved to hear of his death, which
occurred at his home on Tenth
street Sunday morning at seven
o’clock after an illness of some
time.
Mr. Watt was born in the Barba
does Islands of English parentage
and came to the States •when quite
a young boy He served the four
years of the civil war and daring it
received a wound that caused him
,to suffer pain all his life. He was a
' civil engineer and for several years
his home was through Florida and in
Macon ano Augusta. He married
Miss Mattie Neely, daugh'erof Mrs
A. M Nelms, in 1870 They had
two children, Mr. Howard Watt,
who died four years ago ; and Miss
Ethel Watt. He leaves besides a
wife and daughter, one sister, Mrs.
L J Merriman, of Boston. Mass.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon from ‘be Episcopal
church, conducted by Rev. G. H.
i Harrison, after which the body was
laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
WHY HE DOES IT.
Druggut Brooks ulves Reason# for
belling at Half i’rlce.
"It isn’t often that we have faith
enough in the medicines put up by
other people So be willing to offer to re
fund the money if It does not cure,”
said Drugtist Brooks o one of their
many customers, “but we are giad to
sell Dr. Howard's specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia on that
plan.
“1 he Howard Go., in order to get a
quick inioductory sale, authorized us
to sell the regular 50 cent bottle ot their
specific for half price, 25 cents, and,
although we have sold a lot of it, and
guaranteed every package, not one has
been brought back as unsatisfactory.
“One great advantage of this spe
cific,” he continued, “i* its small dose
and convenient form There are sixty
doses in a vial that can be carried in
the vest pocket or purse, and every one
has more medicinal power than a big
pill or tablet or tumbler of mineral
water.
"We are still selling the specific at
half price, although we cannot tell how
long we shall be able to do so. Any
person who is subject to constipation,
sick headache, dizziness, liver trouble,
indigestion, or a general played-out
condition, ought to take advantage of
this opportunity. If the specific does
not cure them, they can come right
back to our stere and we will cheerfully
refund their money.”
