Winn is reported in the Con¬ stitution as being clown in the bot¬ tom pulling corn. Whether he is pulling ears of corn or whiskers of Duncan it’s all one with Winn. The Jackson Herald says of his recent corn pulling: “This must have been a gorgeous spectacle, and we are surprised that Charley should have attempted to gaze on it without a piece of smoked glass. “Tom Winn actually pulling corn! (ireat Scotland Yard in the morning!! What a procession of glory!!! There are a number of Brother Tom’s ad¬ miring constituents who never have never dreamed that it would hurt their eyes to look at him between two corn rows. “But what a pity that a clamor¬ ous people would with ruthless hand just yank a man out of his rural contentment and make him serve them in Congress whether he want¬ ed to go or not! But one of the beauties of our political system is that we are all patriots, and when the people call every patriot will obey, no matter how much inconven¬ ient e it | uts him to.” Winn on The W ay. Last Saturday evening when John Snooks was returning from the Am- anco meeting and keeping his eye peeled for .Mrs. Snooks, he was treated to a surprise lie will not for- get even to bis dying day. She met him at the gate with two pair of specs on, her arms wide open, and smiling tit to kill herself. John came near fainting at this unusual sight, but .before lie could catch l,i s breath Mrs. Snooks exclaimed: “Oh, John, John, I’ve seed ’im, I’ve seed ’ini—I’ve seed im with my two lookin’ eyes—Oh, John, my dar- Hi „ r n” John Snook; ventured , to ask: “Seed who'*” “Oh, John, I’ve seed Wind-l’ve seed , im with my two . , lookin 1 • , eyes— yesindeedy I have, John. I sei d ’im gvvme on to Congress a ridin’ his hossipce an’ Brail a hoppm’ a!eng right under the behind wheel, He went right along this very roa I; an’ more ’11 that, he told Dilcv Ann who was standin’ ,-.t the gate that he was a gwine to fitch me that coffee what I’ve geen doin’ without while you’ve been puttin’ money in the v> irebou.se. I)o you reckon lie'll do it, John!” John saw no way to avoid the is¬ sue, and so lie gave a non-committal answer: “1 guesi* so, Jinsev.” “You cress so! You are always guessing so here of late! Why don’t you know something? ITain’t you been a fellin’ me that when Wind and Bran got to Congress we’d git that coffee an’ that wirehou.se an’ that sewin’ machine an’ lots of ether things J’ve been doin’ without for you to pay for your Reliartco pass¬ word?

Jackson Her¬ ald/ The importance of thinking before you speak recently received ay amus¬ ing illustration at a meeting in a well known town not a thousand miles from this place. One of the persons who occupied the stage was an enthusiastic deacon, who fre- quently . interrupted . . , the speakers . , by yelling: “Thank goodness for that! ” One gentleman was called upon who arose and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am heart and soul in this cause, and I feel that it will be a great benefit to the people of this place—” “Thank goodness for that!” yelled the deacon. “But, ladies and gentlemen,” he continued, “I am going to say that it will be impossible for me to ad¬ dress you this evening—” “Thank goodness for that!” broke in the absent-minded deacon, amidst general laughter, JASi’llR, GEORGIA, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 27, 1890.

On Sr.ndsv the little chapel on the mount in ;-i<lo was crowded, and the evangelist was exhorting his hearers lo. leave their rifles and hunting knives at home when they went to ehureli. In the course of half an hour he grew elo- j quenf amt was just thinking that lie j was going to carry his point when a I fat buck trotted past the chapel and disappeared in the laurel thicket. An old hound that was sleeping in the chapel door gave a yelp and started after the buck, and the male portion of the congregation grabbed tho]r ^ aml follmve,] ! waiting for a motion to adjourn, When they were out of sight the evangelist said in despair: “Oh, it’s no use, it’s no rtse.” “Y: •*s ’tis,” said a one-legged man that was left behind, "I’ll bet you a dollar they’ll have that thar deer in¬ side o’ two hours.”' Ben and the Boys. It was in the middle of the, after- j ; • noon. The boys had sat in their seats for so long a time that they began to groxv restive. ' Even a good school-boy is only a boy. The teacher’s back is turned. Ben Par¬ ker took a hanful of birashot out of his pocket -and roiled them noiseless¬ ly over the floor. The teacher turned, quickly and saw a number of the boys mildly laughing. They couldn’t help it, “George, come here!” he called out sharply. “Charlie and William and Thomas and Henry, you may come also.” The boys named came forward. “I am sorry boys, to be compelled to make an example of you” he “1 saw you laughing. Undoubtedly it was the whole five of you that threw these shot over the floor. I shall punish you by making you stand on the floor where you are now' the rest of the afternoon. And while you are standing there 1 want vou to observe the quite and orderly conduct of vour schoolmate, Bon Parker, who has been faitfullv study- in , v l; u s lesson usson all an this tin. time tutu, unmoved unmoved i, v ? ooisti ions n..!..,,.:.,..

Stand where you are boys, the rest of the school will now have*recess.” All through the long recess that followed that lecture those boys stood there, while Ben Parker looked in at the window furtively now and then and winked solemnly and made faces at them. It is a painful flung, children, to be under the necessity of knocking time-honored proverb into the middle of next week, but it does not facts’ always pay to be good, Facts are and this is a true story.

How to Cure Felons. I notice in a recent issue a cure for felons. I will give you one that I discovered accidently, when a young man. I was engaged in marking iron w ’ t ^ white, lead and turpentine, and having a. felon coming on my finger, dipped it frequently into thc mixture. As the iron was emite quite warm warm which vvnicn i 1 was was making making at the time, I found the next morning that there was a small >' ellmv spot where I felt the felon. 1 opened this, and had no more trouole from it. The next time I felt one coming I procured some turpentine and bathed the part affected frequently, and held it near a warm surface to dr), with same result, as the first. Since then I have used it several times, always with the same result. 1 also have had others to try it, among them some of our men who work in the rolling mill.whosehands are covered with a very hard skin, and every one of them who tried it met with the same results, sav¬ ing them a,great deal of time, money and pain. I asked an eminent physician why the turpentine should produce such a result. His answer was, “It is a counter-irritant.”—Scien¬ tific American. “IDEAL” RELOADING TOOLS For Rifles, Pistols 0 Shot Guns. RSLQAD YOUR SHELLS AKD SAVE K0H£Y. FF1EE.
