you’ll lose nothing by
making me a visit in my

Until then, you can

A human Characteristic.
There was a tradition among
the California Indians that they
wore defended from a pack of
prairie wolves, having Hat on
their tails until they wore them
off. The pigmies of Africa refuse
to gratify evolutionists with any
such pleasing tale. Aeeording t o
Mr. Samuel Phillips Vomer, who
writes about the little people from
personal observation (Atlantic
Monthly), when told that there
are wise men who believe they are
descended from apes the pigmies
were filled with ama/mcnt and a
storm of indignant protests greeted
the suggestion. Tha p;gm io s
not intermarried with any of the
African tribes preserved their phy
sical peculiarities for hOOO years,
and proudly resent the theory of
the ancestral ape, yet they are
described as the lowest type of
humanity in existence. Indignant
to serve as the missing link is
of itself sufficent proof that they
are human like the rest of us. —

WEAVER.
The health of our community
is very good at this time.
Cotton picking will soon be the
order of the day, and will be
gathered quickly.
It is with much pleasure that
we learn Mr. W. P. Hush is con
valescent.
Most of the fanners in our part
of the county are now employed
in saving fodder. They do not
have to reach high in order to get
it. as the stalks are unusually
short. In making an estimate on
this year’s crops, 1 put the corn
crop at 10 percent. and the cotton
crop at 05 per cent. The crops
are the shortest that, have been
made in the county for many
vears. Numbers of farmers will
not make enough to pay rent.
And somebody will have to mani
fest a good deal of charity or else
somebody will suffer. But infinite
goodness has never slumbered a
moment, and so we need not des
pond. J- B.

remedy for diarrhoea. It will re
lievo the poor little sufferer im

How are we possibly to escape all
of the pitfalls that surround poor
human nature! If we drink whiskey
it will send us into the gutter
and finally to a pauper’s grave;
if we drink coffee it will unstring
our nerves and kill us with dys
pepsia, and if we drink tea and
“soft drinks we run the risk of
insanity and a suicide’s death. Is
a little thin pump-water, at long
intervals and without ice, the
i only safe course? Savannah

NOT OTHER-WISE.
There is an old allegorical picture of
a girl scared at a grass-hopper, but in
the act of heedlessly treading on a
snake. This is paralleled by the man
who spends a large sum of money
building a cyclone cellar, but neglects
to provide his family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colie. Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard
against bowels complaints, whose vic
tims outnumber those of the cyclone a
hundred to one. This remedy is every
where recognized as the most prompt
and reliable medicine in use for these
diseases. For sale by

VOTERS!
Tax Payers and Lovers of
Peace and Harmony:
Let’s make BARNESVILLE anew BARNESVILLE?
The Citizen’s ticket for Aldermen=J.C. Collier, W.A. Prout
and Otis A. Murphey—is a ticket selected by the people
for the people. It is not a one-man ticket to carry into
effect personal schemes. The Citizen’s ticket is the one
to vote if you want economical city government. It is
the one to vote if you want your town pulled out of the
old dull ruts, it is the one to* vote if you want a busy,
happy, contented community. The way to have and
get a busy, progressive town, is to put men at the head
of your government that can, will and know how to
push it. „
Where does the working man make the best wages
and get regular work ? In dull towns—no! Only in
busy, progressive towns.
Now, fellow citizens, the Citizen’s ticket advocates
good streets, clean sidewalks, good government, adver
tising and building up Gordon Institute, pushing it for
ward, making an attractive town, thereby bringing more
mills, more house-building, more factories, more people.
Voters, this is the way to build your town, and to get
these things carried on, vote for
J. C. Collier, W. A. Prout and Otis A. Murphey
FOR ALDERMEN,
SATURDAY, August the 23rd!
The Citizen’s ticket will have no time to fuss, no time to
try and work personal schemes, but will work for harmony,
peace, prosperity and good business, thereby helping every
citizen in the community. Be sure to vote the Citizen’s ticket!
It is related that the editor who
penned the following truthful
marriage notice had to take to the
roof on publication day. A simi
lar notice would more often repre
sent truth and public opinion than
the published ones do:
“Married, Miss Sylvia Rhode to
James Carnahan, last Sunday
evening at the Baptist church.
The bride is a very ordinary town
girl, who doesn’t know any more
than a rabbit about cooking, and
never helped her mother three
days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means and has a
gait like a fat duck. The groom
is an up-to-date loafer, lias been
living off the old folks all his life
and don’t amount to shucks no
how. They will have a hard life
while they live together and the
news hastens to extend absolutely
no oongrutu'ations, for we don't
believe any good can come of such
a union.”
IT NEEDS A TONIC.
There are times when your liver
needs a tonic. Don’t give purgatives
that gripe and weaken. DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers expel all poison
from the system and act as tonic to the
liver. W. Scott, 431 Highland ave.,
Milton. Pa., says: "1 have carried
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers with me
for several years and would not he
without them.” Small ad easy to
take. Purely vegetable. They never
gripe or distress.
