Wall street men have cdd ideas
of humor. A few days ago one of
them, of the name of H. E.
Smith, advertised for dogs to be
carried to his lawyer. The law
yer’s office'quickly looked like a
public pound or the annex tq a
ben eli show. Then t, hI;
joker persuaded the lawyer that
he had won a piano in a lottery,
and had lots of fun watching the
lawyer try to get possession of the
property. A day or two later Mr.
Smith missed SII, (KM) worth of
his bonds, and was greatly wor
ried. He advertised the loss and
notified the police. It transpired,
however, that the lawyer had
merely “abstracted” them as a
joke, to get even with Smith.
Smith saw the point, after worry
ing for a day or two, and was able
to join in the laugh. That is Wall
street fun.
Changed the Sentence.
The leading counsel for the de
fense asked the judge for an in
vestigation of the sentence on the
ground that the prisoner's health
was very poor.
“You honor, 1 am satisfied that
my client cannot live out half
half that sentence.” ,
“Well under those circum
stances,” said the judge, * U I will
make it for life instead of seven
years.”
The judge was asked to abide by
the original sentence.
Influenza and Pneumonia.
The New York Herald calls nt
te ition to the increase in mor
tality in the last two weeks from
lung attention, following attacks
of grip. The Herald special
stresses the danger of undue ex
posure during inclement weather.
Sometime a simple attack of
bronchial catarrh brings on a se
rious spell and those who do not
take sufficient time are liable to
he laid up with sometime worse.
The months of February and
March are the months when in
fluenza prevails and when pneu
monia is most to be dreaded. The
treacherous changes of the season
are often fatal. The effective
treatment of an ordinary cold'
is a matter of aday or two against
a possible subsequent sickness
for weeks.
The indications of a severe at
tack of influenza are headache,
chilliness, general muscular pains,
fever, sore throat, cough and
systematic lassitude. When these
show themselves no time is,to be
lost and the patient should give
up work at once fund promptly
place himself under Vroper medi
cal care. The ordinary domestic
remedies, excellent uV they are in
their way, will seldom avail under
present circumstances.\k
Must Pay SI,OOO.
Man Cannot Act as a Mere Agent of
a Bucket Shop anti Transact
Its Business.
Comptroller General Wright
i has upon his hands a unique case
j from Forsyth, Ga., and has at
the request of one of the parties
jut interest referred the matter to
Attorney General Hart, who will
pass upon the issue as soon as he
returns from Washington City,
where he is at present representing
the state in I nited States supreme
court.
The case in point seems to be
this. A short time ago the tax
receiver of Monroe county report
ed to the comptroller general the,
fact that a prominent .citizen of
Forsyth was accepting orders for
dealers in futures and placing them
with one or more exchanges or
bucket simps doing business in
this state. Jt appears that this
party accepts orders for the pur
chase or sale of stocks, lands, cot
ton, or produce, and forwards
them to the exchanges presum
ably being paid for bis services.
Besides this it is said that he set
tles with the men who transact
business of this character through
him, paying them their profits
when there are any, and collect
ing margins put up in making the
deals.
Upon this explanation of the
ease, Comptoller General Wright
informed the tax receiver that the
party in question was simply an ex
change and was liable for the tax
of SI,OOO a year imposed by the
state upon such enterprises. To
this decision of the comptroller
general the Forsyth man has
demurred and has asked that the
issue be referred to the attorney
general, and the comptroller
general has given it this direction.
Mr. Wright says he lias not a
particle of doubt that he is right
but that Attorney General Hart
will sustain him in his decision.
He says that the man in Forsyth
is simply operating an enterprise
on his own account and not as an
agent for others.
He says that the case in ques
tion is identical with the issu6
raised some time ago that the
Bank of'Winder was not u branch
of the Bank of Senoia, but that,
they were two distinct banks doing
business at two separate places,
and that both were liable tor
taxes upon their capital stock.
This decision was rendered by
Governor Terrell, then tilling the
office of attorney general.
The Forsyth man sets up the
claim that he is uot running an
exchange, but is only acting as
an agent for exchanges located in
At lanta and Augusta, and that he
is not liable to the tax.

Fitness
Its just as essential to
have your dress fitted
over anew style corset
as it is to have an experi
enced dress-maker to
make it. To get the ’O3
set to the dress, you’ve
got to have the ’O3 corset.
Get the proper corset with
the proper curves that
don’t tire the body and
gives a natural swing.
There is personality
among corsets,like people
they’ve their strong
points —for instance The
American Lady’s, “Long
fellow,” the corset with
long hips, medium body.
It gives one of the most
graceful “set” of all the
’O3 styles. ’ This coupled
with the fact that they
are considered the most
comfort-giving of the cor
set world, makes this an
exceedingly strong num
ber. The . B. Shirt
Waist Corset, stamped
“rust proof,” is the most
desirable for shirt waist
wear. Either style or
brand....

a special quality silk, and

tough-lasting fabric, un
equaled by any other silk.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
BY—“LENORE.”
Looking over the little memen
toes once.kept by a dear friend
who has many years passed over
the river, we found a tress of
golden hair, also a tress of black
and many other little things that
she prized, among them was the
following poetry clipped from
some paper.
“Don’t wait till deaths cold hand
Has left its impress on my brow,
To waste the sympathy
I so much need to help me now,
Your love would come too late
To take from life its bitter pain
My heart strings broke could ne’er
Re-echo back a glad refrain.
“Don’t wak till ’round my bier
You stand to praise my humble deed
Bestow the kindness flow
For which my hungry heart would
plead
Your eulogies would fall
Unheaded by a deafenedjear,
While now in life they might
A heart bowed down in sorrow
cheer.”
We knew that this dear friend
had lost many loved ones. Sur
rounded by wealth and all that
j could possibly make one happy,
she pined for the hearty hand
shake which expresses so much.
We knew also that her many home
duties compelled her to almost
give up society—one of her dear
ones was an invalid. Did her
many friends visit her and cheer
her? Echo answers did they?
Alas! we are so apt to forget those
dear good people who have to stay
at home. We became restless? we
thought a walk would do us good:
the sun was shining, the birds
singing and we could see the
flowers, messengers of love, in
every yard. It was certainly a
morning to make one feel happy,
the balmy breath of spring, to
feel love toward God’s creatures.
In our exuberance of spirits we
stopped in to see a friend. We
had just accomplished so much’
good at a certain Society that we
commenced to tell what good we
were doing. Just as ( we finished
she said, “yes, that is very nice
but how many times have you
been to see Mrs. A. you know she
is a confirmed invalid, Mrs. B. who
is almost blind. Miss C. who has
rheumatism, Mrs. D‘s grand
mother who has consumption,
Mrs. E. who has been closely con
fined at home on account of an
invalid brother.”
We felt the shot from the pop
gun, a certain lecturer told us
about; they hit us on the cheek,
on the brow, on the hands. Ah!
had we been? Had we been to
see the sick and the dear old peo
ple ami the stay-at-homes; had
we gone and told them of the
many little pleasant things that
had filled us with joy? Had we
carried -books to read to those
whose eyes were getting dim or
even taken a flower to a sick friend?
Had we done this? Do we Chris
tians visit those who cannot
return our visits? Do we even
take half a day each we*k to visit (
the afflicted? Do our husbands
and loved ones visit as much as
they should?
We in time will lose our sight,
our hearing and be infirm ; then
we will long for the bright faces
to come to see us—to give us a
word of cheer. Will they come?
“Don’t wait ’till I am laid
Within the silent tomb,
To strew around me flowers
Sweet and beautiful in their bloom.
Your flowers would fade
And wither in the cold damp air,
Weile to my life they might
Emit a perfume rich and rare.”
A CHILD KNOWS ITS FRIEND.
The children are eager for a dose of
of Cheney’s Expectorant whenever
they are threatened with a cold or
c;oup. I prefer Cheney’s because it is
so agreeable to take, and it’s results
are sooner seen than that of any other
preparation. Mrs. L. D. Johnson.

Talk for
Spring
Goods.
have been planning and contriving
and now on the eve of bright spring
weather w© are ready to announce
that we are fixed with the newest,
prettiest and most up-to-date stock
of Dry Goods, Notions, Shoes, Hats,
umbrellas, parasols, etc. ever shown
in Barnesville. This may seem like
exagerated talk but nevertheless it
is true.
After years of experience here, catering always to the
wants of all the people, we feel, in fact we know, what to
buy and how to buy. Just for this time we don’t care to
particularize, but by way of post script .to the above general
announcement we want to say that we have now in, the
handsomest outfit of Embroideries and Laces the town ever
saw; and. that in good time we will be ready with our
MILLINERY DEPARTMENT
will truly be a reve’ation. We want the trade, in fact all
of the trade, for cash of course, if possible—if not, then all
the prompt paying credit trade. Don’t forget us when
out trading—it will hurt you if you do.
Miss Yelicia LeSueur and Mr. John F. Howard are with
me and extend a hearty invitation to all of their friends
and customers to come in to see them.

Spring Merchandising.
Mr. A. L. Mills has a message
for the people this week in our
columns. Mr. Mills is too well
known to the trading public of
Barnesville and suroundmg coun
ty to need any comments at our
hands.
He has been in the dry goods
business here for years and has
become personally acquainted
with all the buyers who are accus
tomed to visit our markets. His
line of goods has been selected
with his usual good taste and
judgment and is now prepared
for the spring trade. He is as
sisted by a fine corps of helpers
as you will see by reference to
his “ad.” He invites all to visit
him at his store.
ALTHOUGH tbe
weather and
fates have seemed
against Spring
merchandising,
still, “Behind the
clouds the sun is
still shining” and
during all the
gloomy days, we
