Jim Reeves 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.

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. Jso. 11. Ri..\ckbur\. Bartlesville, Ga. L. Hoi.mks, Milner, Ga. 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.

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.

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.
