It in easy to bo poor; it requires
neither genius, industry nor econo
my to keep a man's nose on the
grindstone all his life, says a re
cent writer.
There are those who are kept
in poverty because of their own
fault. They might have been well
oft*, but they smoked or chewed up
their earnings, or lived beyond
their means, while others on the
same wages and on the same sala
ries went on to competency. 1
know a man who is all the tiiyv
complaining of his poverty and
crying out against rich men, while
he himself keeps two dogs and
chews and smokes and isoften full
to the chin with whiskey and beer.
A man m Portland, Me., some
years ago, when times were hard,
announced in the daily papers
that he would give a bag of flour,
a bushel of meal and a sack of
potatoes—or something about
equivalent—to any family who
didn’t use tobacco, drink whiskey
or keep a dog. He was willing to
do this for a hundred families but
he did not have one single appli
cation for his bounty. Do you
want to be poor? The road is
open to you.

NEED MORE HELP.
Often the over-taxed organs of diges
tion cry out for help by dyspepsia ,
pains, nausea, dizziness, headaches,
fiver complaints, bowel disorders. Such
trouble call for prompt use of Dr. King’s
New Life Pills. They are gentle,
thorough and guaranteed to cure. 25c

One Place at Least.
The late John B. Gough, whose
early training as an actor had
| given him a good equipment for
bis latter work as a temperance
orator, says the Philadelphia
Times, and who seldom met with
opposition from those who listen
ed to him in public, was lectur
ing one evening in a nearby town,
and, after painting the tavern as
In place of contamination even for
the abstainer, asked:
“Don’t you all agree with me,
friends, that there is no place a
man should go, and of which he
should tell his mother and sisters,
unless la l might take them, too,
there 1 Should there be any such
place?
“O! v-e-s!” came drawlingly
from a rear seat.
The audience was roused from
its spell of admiration for the
orator, and turned to look at the
owner of the voice in the rear.
Gough smiled as though he thought
no discussion possible, and blank
ly asked:
“Where, friend, would you go,
telling mother and sisters, but
refusing to take them with
you?”
“The barber’s,” was the laconic
reply.
I*OISON ING THE SYSTEM.
It is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipa
tion keeps these poisons in the system,
causing headache, dulness and melan
cholia at first, then unsightly eruptions
and finally serious illness unless a
remedy is applied. DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers prevent this trouble by
stimulating the liver and promote easy
healthy action of the bowels. These
little pills do not act violently but by
strengthening the bowels enable them
to perform their own work. Never
gripe or distress.

Don't Slop Advertising.
No matter how superior an arti
cle may be the people’s advantage
in dealing at a particular store,
the proprietor’s business will not
reach anything like its possibili
ties unless the public shall be in
formed of the fact day after day.
There can he no large trade with
out publicity. As to the methods
of publicity, all experience shows
that newspaper advertising is not
only the most direct and effective
but also the cheapest.
Because the holiday season is
over is not a good reason why ad
i vertisiug should stop. It should
■be kept up because now is the
| time it is needed to attract- in
j creased trade. —Rome Tribune.

WEAVER.
The fine rain that we had last
Thursday broke and ended a long
and severe drouth, and crops are
now looking much better and I
think with plenty of rain during
the balance of the month Pike
county will probably make a half
crop of corn. But it is to early
to put an estimate on the cotton
crop. One trouble is there was
too small an area of land planted
in corn.
The health of our town is some
better than it was afew r w r eeks ago.
W. W. Bush is still unwell, and
M rs. Elliott, an aged lady, is very

A FENCE THAT FENCES.
Woven Steel Wire Does it for Years
at a Low cost.
Wanted: A fence that will fence
and last for years, at a low'cost.
This was a long-felt want with
farmers, planters and cattlemen
in all parts of the country, till
the perfection of the woven steel
fence known as the Ellwood steel
Steel Wire Fence. This filled
the long-felt want and is to-day
used from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific for every kind of farm, ranch
and plantation fencing. It fur
nishes protection to crops and
holds all kinds of live stock for
the longest term of years at the
least cost.
The Ellwood Fence does fence.'
It is made of high grade Bessemer
steel, heavily galvanized and prac
tically everlasting. It is woven
so accurately that P- stretches
evenly and when subjected to any
severe strain, as when a heavy
man climbs over it or a farm wag
on is accidently backed against
it, the tension is easily distributed
and no damage is done. It is a
diamond mesh fence, the heavy
twisted cable wires being connect
ed by panels which are small near
the ground and larger toward the
top of the fence.

seventy-six, eats anything she wants,
remarking that she fears no bad effects
as she ltas her bottle of Kodol handy.”
Don’t waste time docortoring symptons
