I nay to girls, then, don’t give your
young man a eigarette case. He
liae a number already, and smokes
more than 1b good for him.
Don’t give him a flaak. He hold,
enough as It ia.
Don’t give him a aearf pin or ring.
He la sufficiently bedecked with
jewelry.
Don’t give him S mouchoir case.
He amelia now.
Don’t give him a caehe-nei. It
will make hia throat delicate.
Don’t embroider him a sofa cush
ion. He ia la«y enough.
Don't give him n walking stick.
He'll !,■"« it in the first ‘'art gal
lery" he goes to.
Don’t give him your photograph
ill a frame. He'll mention it at hia
club.
Hut if you want to be kind, give
him a copy of some good, standard
'author on some sensible, serious
■ubjeet, and tell him that your re
gard and appreciation for him In
the future depends entirely upon
his familiarity with at least that
one subject of living interest.
It is rather more difficult to advise
young men to shop for their heBt
girls, but 1 should say:
Ihm’t give her a fan. She will
sit down on It at her first ball, or
you will if she don’t.
Don't give her a smelling bottle,
unless you want her to "feel faint"
on every |H>sslhle occasion.
Don’t give her a girdle, for it is
the most hideoua “ornament" of the
age.
Don't give her an enameled flower
pin, for some other fellow is aure to
have spared you the trouble.
Don't give her a bangle with a pnd-
loek and key, unless you want her
to giggle whenever she gets alone
with her girl friends.
Don’t give her silver ornaments for
her dressing table. She spends too
much time there already.
Don’t give her a bon bonnlere.
Her complexion Is none too good
as it is.
Don't give her garter clasps, it
isn't conime 11 faut.
Don't send her flowers. She’ll
forget you by New Year’s.
Hut, dear Ik))-, If you can persuade
her to accept one tiny little theatre
bonnet, not more than four inches
tall, and can Impress it upon her
that all your future allegiance and
happiness depend upon her wearing
it whenever she goes to the play,
then, Indeed, you have contributed
to the merry Xmas of your species.

The subject of hay culture ia
every day receiving more and more
attention. Experiments have been
made In most of the Southern
States, and we have yet to learn of
an Instance in which the experi
ment was not attended with suc
cess.
The Times-Democrat has an arti
cle od the aublect which gives the
experience of the farmers with the
hay crop in various parts of Louis
iana, and they all show that there
is vastly more money in hay than
in cotton. With scarcely any cost
of cultivation yields arc made, and
are the rule rather than the excep
tion, of over M0 per acre.
Great as the direct benefits are
which this crop promises, the in
direct advantages are greater still.
It would make our section a great
cattle-raising and dairy region. We
could export fine live stock of all
kinds, and we could keep millions
annually at home that we spend In
the purchase of stock.
If this industry becomes promi
nent in the Houth, it will do a vast
good in the decrease of the acreage
in cotton. Our large acreage kee|>s
prices down, and if it were de
creased by d) per cent., it is quite
likely that the worth of the crop
would not be any less.
No country can bo rich which
raises only one crop. Diversified
Industry is beneficial everywhere
where the diversity comes from na
ture and not from governmental
privileges. We do not want any
new Industry at the expense of the
rights of persons whose capital is
Invested in industries already es
tablished, but where the new will
help the old, we say, let them come.
Comptroller Wright is busy get
ting out a circular letter to the tax
collectors, explaining the provisions
of section 44 of the new school law,
which was passed liy the last legis
lature, and will be remembered as
the Denny bill. There has been so
much delay In gettingoutthe public
acts that there Is a general lack of
Information, and the section In quer.
tion has Just come to the attention
of the comptroller general. It
changes the method of collecting^
defaulting poll taxes, and brings
the county school commissioner In
as a tax collector. I send you the
section of the act for publication, as
it will prove of Interest.
Section 44, of the act, Is as follows:
"That all poll tax collected in this
State shall, from and after the
passage of this act, be paid over to
the county commlssionersof the sev
eral counties of the State; and he by
the county boards of education in
the several counties of this Htate
paid out, without any deduction for
fees or salaries of officers, to the
support of the common so'nools In
the respective counties where said
poll tax was raised ; that when the
tax collector of each county
makes out fl fas for unpaid
taxes It shall be his duty
to make out separate fl fas for
poll tax against each defaulter,
specifying in each ease that It is for
poll tax for that year, and shall at
once turn them over to the county
school commissioner of his county,
taking his receipt therefor, and shall
at the same time furnish the presi
dent of the county 'board of educa
tion with a list of the fl fas so turned
over. The county school commis
sioner shall be charged with thecol-
Icotton therefor, and to this end
may place said fl fas in the hands of
such constables of his county as he
may deem proper, who shall collect
the amounts duo thereon in the
same manner now prescribed l>y
law, for the eollection of the state
anil county taxes.
The constable, for collecting sueli
fl fas, shall receive the fees now al
lowed bylaw; hut the county school
commissioners shall not receive any
extra com|*ensatlon for their ser
vices in superintending anil attend
ing to the collection of said li fas.
When such fl fas have been paid oft',
they shall at once be returned to the
tax collector.

The Atlanta Constitution Is re
sponsible for the statement that
Ham Kandall "voted to double the
tax on cotton ties, so that the farm
ers of the Houth should be com
pelled to p«y a large proportion of
their earnings lnto„the hands of a
few Pennsylvania manufacture™."
The Constitution ought to tell the
Georgia farmers whether or not this
is the reason why it became a Ran
dall paper. It would Interest them,
beyond a doubt.

that it cleanse* tha acalp, promotes tha

Kreilerick Hardy, of Koxtmry, Maae..

growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he oommenced

The Democrats are troubled about
the larife surplus in the treasury of
the United Htales, and anxious to
reduce It, while the Republicans
seem unconcerned about it. Rut
unless the taxation which brill** in
the surplus is speedily reduced, the
Republicans will be greatly troubled
by the surplus of Democratic votes
in the country.
