To her they send sweet messages of love, Bright and warm as sunlight from above And you, sweet, flowers nre smiles and kisses, From the dear ones (which someone misse .)

Ci-aha Mammy, Alexander City, Ala. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1902. Taking Time For Thinking The part of farming that pays the best in every sense is the thinking part. A view quite dif ferent from this used to be com monly put into practice; now we say—and the meaning is plain to all —that the farmer who fertilizes his fields with brains, best ferti lizes them. No farmer can, however, do properly the thinking part in his business as it should be done who makes a drudge out of himself If he uses up all his vital force in physical effort he can have noth ing left for that which is mental. The mind must be fed and proper ly exercised, if generally it is go ing to do its work well. And the best in the physical mostly goes with the best in the mental. A quick and capable mind often works physical won ders, doing sp not at all rarely through the instrumentality of a frail body. We need, as never before now, the mental shaping ing power in the conduct of every farm, be it great or small. From this it will be seen that the farmer should have time to reflect and observe. The observa tions which he is almost compell ed to make ought to have opportu nity for drifting into groups of thoughts which naturally they are inclined to form. Such will lead to reading, experiment—to the seeking of more light. Evory part of present-day farm ing calls for more thought and less drudgery in the case of all having direct identifications with this calling. Even the farm laborer is no longer the ignorant hireling that the men of his class once were. In the progress made—and with the genius of invention coming ing into help farming in many ways—the farm laborer comes in and regularly rises with all else on the farm, often in due course himself becoming the able employ er of the labor of others. The mind makes us men, and makes it possible for us to rise. In no branch of industry just now is this more true than it is of farming.—Ex. “The blood is the life.” Science has never gone beyond that sim ple statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is “bad” or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is al so clouded, the mind and judge ment are affected, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be directly traced to the.impurity of the blood. No one can be well balanced in mind and body whose blood is impure. No one can have a wholesome and pure life whose blood is not pure. Foul blood can be made pure by the the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. When the blood is pure, body and brain are alike healthy and life becomes a daily happiness.

A Rockdale county negro, over 66 years of age, applied, the other day, to the Ordinary of that coun ty for a license to marry the sev enth time. He had married six times and said he was ready for the seventh heaven. The woman he was to marry had outlived six husbands. The old man remark ed; “It’s gwine to he nip and tuck ’twix us ez* to which buries t’other.” —Ex. A news paper should be con ducted on business principles the same as a store or bank. People who would not go into a store and ask the merchant to give thorn a nickel’s worth of sugar, coffee, salt or soap, will, with the calm est exterior, go into a newspaper office and ask for a copy of the newspaper and never offer to pay for it, or want a complimentary notice about their profession or business. —Lagrange Reporter.

Attention was called to the fuct that the report of the Clerk and Treasurer, and report of Treasurer of Gordon Institute, read aad ap proved at last meeting of Coun cil, were not published in the minutes of that meeting, through an oversight, and the clerk was instructed to incorporate these re ports in the minutes of this meet ing, for the information of the public. Nuisance Committee reported that, under the authority given them by the Council, they had employed a Sanitary Inspector, in the person of Mr. J. R. Chap man, who had already made one inspection of the city, and was now on his second round ; the city had been found in fairly good sanitary conditon, and that im mediate steps had been taken to correct all unsanitary conditions discovered by the Inspector. They also reported that the waste water from the bleachery of the Oxford Knitting Mills was now being run down Railroad Street, instead of across property of E. L. Rogers, as formerly, and that the change was entirely satisfactory to Mr. Rogers, and other citizens in the vicinity. The Tax Committee stated that they had not quite completed their work of tabulating the tax returns of the city for the current year, and arriving at an equitable tax rate thereon, and suggested that an ajourned meeting some time this week be held, at which time they would be in a position to make a report on this matter. This Committee also recom mended that the assessment on property of Mrs. Bettie Jordan, on Greenwood Street he reduced to SIOOO.OO, and upon motion, the assessment was reduced ac cordingly by Council. Alderman Gray introduced the following resolution, which, upon motion was adopted by Council. RESOLUTION INTRODUCED HY ALDERMAN GRAY. Whereas, the Act establishing the Dispensary in this City requires that the Dispensary Commission shall make quarterly reports to the Mayor and Council of the city in which they shall show the receipts and expenses of the Dispensary fur the proceeding quarter and the amount of the net profits if any, And, whereas, the accompanying re port submitted by said Commission on June 2, 1902, does not show the amount of the net profits of said Dis pensary as required by law, as pointed out in the attached report made there on by the Finance Committee ; Therefore, he it resolved, That the ClerkdTieasurer notify the Dispensary Commission to at once amend their report so as to comply with tin; law and to furnish same to the Council by its ajourned meeting on Thursday night August 21st.

Otih A. Murphey, August 4th., 1902. Between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, the time when woman hood begins and motherhood ends, it is estimated that the aggregate term of woman’s suffering is ten years. Ten years out of thirty I One third of the best part of a woman’s life sacrificed I Think of the enormous loss of time! But time is not all that is lost. Those years of suffering steal the bloom from the cheeks, the brightness from the eyes, the fairness from the form. They write their record in muny a crease and wrinkle. What a boon then to woman, is Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription. It promotes perfect regularity, dries up debilitating drains, heals ulceration, cures female weakness, and establishes the delicate wo manly organs in vigorous and per manent health. No other medicine can do for woman what is done by Dr. Pierce’s Favorit Prescrip tion. Some men get a vacation from worry by going away from home for a little rest at their business. IF A MAN Dili TO YOU, And say some other salve ointment, lotion, oil or alleged healer is as good as Bucklen’s Arnica Halve, toil him thirty years of marvelous cores of piles, burns,boils, corns, felons, ulcers, cuts, scalds, bruises and skin eruptions prove it’s the best and cheapest. 25c at W.

A healthy woman is always attractive, bright and happpy. When every drop or blood in the veins is pure a beauteous flush is on the cheek. But when the blood is impure, mo rose ness, had temper and a sallow complexion tells the tale of sickness, all too plainly. And women to-day know there is no beauty with out health.

Htomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, f'ive immediate warning by pain, nit liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford’s Black-Draught never fails to bene fit diseased liver and weakened kid neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright’s disease of the kidneys. With kidneys re inforced by Thedford’s Black- Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel low fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Thedford’s Black- Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullini, S. C., March 10, 1901. I have used Thtdford’s Black-Draught for three years and I have not had to go to a doctor since I have been taking it It is the best medicine for me that is on the market for liver and kidney troubles and dyspepsia and other f complaints.
