R. J. Futrai, employed by the Indus
trial Lite and Health Insurance Co
of Atlanta, living on 14th street, says:
“I used Doan’s Kidney Pills for back
ache and they did me more good than
anything else I ever tried. I cannot
any too much in their favor. My back
has given me no end of suffering and
misery. There was a terrible pain
across the small ot my back, so severe
at times as to lay me up. I could not
rest at nights from it and during the
day it made lite almost a burden. The
kidney secretions were all out of fix,
very dark and red and full of sediment,
disturbing my rest nights. I used all
the different remedies I could hear
about, but nothing did mo much good
until I procured Doan’* Kidney Pills
at Brooks Drug Store. They helped me
promptly and the very first day after
using them I felt* better. Since taking
them I have had no more backache, the
sediment lias disappeared from the secre
tions I can retain them all night and
can go to bed and rest well, arising in
the morning refreshed and feeling
splendid.”

TH® TRUCBKY,
When the Jap and the Russian
Arranged a discussion,
To settle on terms of peace,
The language they uttered.
Was sputtered and spluttered,
In words that resembled these:
‘My 1 atsky 1 doffsky,’
The Russian began.
‘I takesky it oflsky,
To greetsky Japan.’
‘l'm glad Yokohama,’
The Jap said, ’to Tokio.
And I re-Fusiyama
To cover my kokio.’
‘Pray pardon hysterevitch,’
Said Russy, ‘my routsk
Lay all though my Siverevltch,
I froze my carkoutsk. ’
‘I gladly ex-Kiushiu— ’
’Twas the merry Jap who said so —
‘Though you re not in Japs’ ‘Who’s
Who,’
At least you’re not Yezo.’
Said the Russ, ‘Shall we take just one
drinkski?’
And the Jap asked, ‘What will you
takaki?’
So the Russ had a vodka of inks!
And the Jap took an egg Nagasaki.
Then each one of them smoked a ci-
garski,
And there you are areski.

The following is a young girl’s
composition on man: ‘‘Men are
what women marry. They drink
and smoke and swear and have ever
so many pockets, but they won’t go
to church. Perhaps if they wore
bonnets they would. They are more
logical than women and also
more zoological. Both men and wo
men sprung from monkeys. But
the women certainly sprung further
than men.”

IF NOT, WHY NOT?
Now, when a girl in leap year proposes
to a man,
And aska him to be hers forever

It is not quite the thing, of course, for

business interests here, being iden

A good joke is told on one of our

was at the Hill street railroad
crossing the other afternoon while
the trainmen were doing some
switching. As the train backed up
one brakeman yelled to the other :
‘‘Catch her as she comes by, run her
down past the switch and ‘cut her
in two.'” The young lady thought
they had ‘‘reference to her,” and
she jumped up and down and yelled.

Have They Mexican 801 l
Weevil in Meriwether?
The cotton growers of Troup and
Meriwether counties are badly worried
over the appearance there of a cotton
worm, supposed to be the Mexican boll
weevil.
The worm, which has been pro
nounced the boll weevil by several resi
dents of that section wno have investi
gated the subject, is supposed to have
been brought to this section in oats
which were shipped from Texas.
B. F. Taylor, of Hogansville, Troup
county, was at the capitol Friday to see
State Entomologist Wilmon Newell
about the matter. The cotton planters
want Mr. Newell to go down there and
make an investigation because they
are anxious to have expert scientiflic
opinion as to whether they are dealing
with the boll weevil or not. Mr.
Newell was not in Atlanta Friday, but
upon his return to the city will doubt
less investigate the matter.
We hope the worm that our friends
have found over in an adjoining coun
ty iSjiio closer to the real Mexican boll
weevil than the smallpox that was so
prevalent there a year or so azo was
like the old fashioned deep-pitted
article.

I MATRIMONIAL
CATECHISM
■
Published by UnMlmoui Request of the
Leading Men of Spalding County*
The following article from the
New Yoik Times was handed in for
publication during the past week by
' a delegation of Griffin's leading oit
' izans, comprising both married and
single gentlemen. Some of the
names on the list would surpise you,
but we were threatened with thirty
seven individual suits for damage
if we mentioned any names, and
forty-three withdrawals of sub
scription it we did not publish it.
So yon see, ladies, the position we
are placed in, though individually
we do not agree with a single senti
ment herein expressed:
Matrimonial Catechism.
What is marriage?
Marriage is an institution for the
blind.
Why do some people never mar
ry?
Because they do not believe in di
vorce.
When a man thinks seriously of
marriage, what happens?
He remains single.
Does a girl ever think of anything
but marriage?
Only that, and hbw to get mar
ried.
Should a man marry a girl for her
money ’?
No. But he should not let her
become an old maid just because
she’s rich.
Is an engagement as good as mar
riage?
It’s better.
How may we tell when a court
ship has progressed?
When the man takes to yawning
in the girl's presence.
When two thin people become en
gaged, what happens?
They immediately grow very
thick
When a man has popped the ques
tion, is hefinlshed?
No ; he has yet to question Pop.
When asking papa, how should a
young man act?
He should face papa manfully and
never give him a chance at his back.
Why does a bride wear a veil?
So that she mav conceal her sat
isfaction.
When a man marries, has he seen
♦ he end of trouble?
Yes, but it is usually the wrong
end.
What is greater than a wife’s
love?
Her temper.
Do married women suffer in si
lence?
Yes ; they all suffer when they
may not talk.
When a man says he can manage
his wife, what does he mean?
He means he can make her do I
an ything she wants to.
Is it possible for a married naan to
be a fool without knowing it?
Not if his wife is alive.
What is a mother-in-law?
Sae Gen. Sherman’s definition of
war.
How did the Western man solve
the mother in-law question?
When she came to spend the sum
: trier with him, he hired a Christian
I Scientist to come and give the old ;
i iadv absent treatment.
Was it effective?
Yes; she went away and never
came back.
The Three Boys and lhe Apples
Col. R. H Taylor, after lying
awake all night trying it by arith
metic, finally solved by algebra the
problem of the three boys and the
apples, recently published in this
paper, with the following answer:
There were 79 apples. The first
biy ate 26 and threw away 1, mak
ing 27 ; the second boy ate 17 and
threw away 1, making 18 ; the third
boy ftt-e 11 and threw away 1, mak
ing 12 ; and the remainder of 22 was
equally divided, after throwing
awav 1, making the total of 79.
As to the physical possibility of a
boy eating 26 apples, Colonel Taylor
says that he has seen the time when
that would be easy for hitn—and
maybe they were small apples.
But’who can work it by arithme
tic?
