“The Old Home!” It is» more to me
memories dear —
The place of long ago, where in my
dreams now and then
1 may in recollection flee, escape the
noisy show and here. . .
Though, there is in each stone, each
board a mem’ry to revere;
Associations hallowed cling to every
pillar; often when
I hasten back there comes to me the
picture of that day
When mother called me to her knee
from wanton boyish play
To whisper to me secrets which she
told no other ear;
I spend again the evening hour about
the fireside where
The circle was unbroken—happy
hearts and true were there!
I sit again beside the couch where one
lay suffering,
And held his hand and kissed his lips
and knew that nameless thing,
The Coming Sorrow; then once more,
and I am called in haste
Back home to find the Shadow cover
ing it—to taste
The bitterness bereavement pressed
unto my lips, to grope
A little while in darkness, grief and
terror —until Hope
Shone, faintly first, then steadily upon
the altar where
He had so often offered up daily sac
rifice of prayer. . .
But home, the old home, with its
loves and sorrows means
Much more to me than memories, how
ever sweet, however they may
give
Back to me precious times that were,
these haloed, sacred scenes—
There passed I through the real ex
perience of life —and learned to
LIVE.
—D. G. Bickers, in Athens Banner.

CAR STRIKE A FAILURE;
POLLARD HAS LEFT ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13.—1 t was re
ported yesterday on reliable authority
that W. H. Pollard, the labor union
organizer wdio precipitated the street
car strike in this city, had taken his
departure from the scene of his re
cent activities.
Prominent labor union leaders now
admit privately that the street car
strike is a failure. The striking con
ductors and motormen are beginning
to feel the pinch of cold weather and
empty pantries, and the financial as
sistance they expected from sympa
thizers is not materializing to any
very considerable extent.
Employees of the street car com
pany assert thta numbers of the strik
ers have returned to the car barns
and applied for re-admission to their
former positions, and several, it is
understood, have been taken back.
Disorder has practically ceased, and
night schedules, which were curtailed
more than those in the daytime when
the strike was at its height, are almost
back to normal.
FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Father Tells How Boy Was Restored
Health and Strength.
We have always told the people ot
Americus that Vinol is a wonderful
body builder for ailing children. Here
is more proof of the fact
J. L. Albury, of Miami, Fla., says:
“Our little boy was puny and cross
from the time he was born, and we
hardly knew how to handle him.
When he was three years old he was
weak and so cross we could hardly live
with him and we could not get him to
eat anything. A friend asked us to
try Vinol. We did so and you should
see the change it made in him. He
is now a good-natured, healthy young
ster, ready to eat at any time, and we
cannot praise Vinol enough.”
Vinol is especially efficient in
building up puny, weak, ailing chil
dren, because of the beef and co 4
liver peptones, iron and manganese
heptonates and gdycerophosphates
which it contains, and as it is without
oil or grease, children love to take it.

GROWS MORE CRITICAL DAILY
I Friends of Mrs. J. T. Bickell, and of
, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Speer as well,
I will learn with regret that the for
! mer's condition continues very grave,
I ineed, and each day is apparently

daughter, Mrs. Speer, where, though
■ receiving the most tender and loving
' care she has grown steadily weaker,
| and this morning was reported to be
j very sick, indeed, with grave appre
hension entertained that the end may
soon come.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Oct. 13.

from Indianapolis, going at once to
Shadow Lawn, where he is spending

ATLANTA GETTING BETTER;
SO SAY THE ATLANTA FOLKS
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13.—Atlanta is
getting better all the time, according
to one who ought to know. George A.
Carter, clerk of the municipal court of
Atlanta, who issues warrants for mis
demeanor offenses, has noticed of late
a most perceptible falling off in the
number issued. In fact, since prohi
bition went into effect both the muni
cipal court and the police department
have had considerably less work to do.
TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur Bring Back its Vigor,
Color, Gloss and Youthfulness
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and Insurant. Just a
few applications will prove a revela
tion if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is troub
lesome. An easier way is to bet a 50-
cent bottle of Wweth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound at any drug store all
ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage, and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it does
it so naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning all gray hairs have disap
peared, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxurant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.
