Reduction on etaadlrr* 4Nttt.r*ctj by special agreement. McDonough, (in . May 24, 1907 Jiang this motto in every school in the land in every home, in every yonng man’s room, mother engrave it on every child's heart: Men of character are the con science to which they belong. They ami not the police, ’guarantee the v execntion of the laws. Their in fluence is the bulwark of good gov ernment. A good character is a precious tiling, above rubies, gold, crowns, or kingdom and the work of making it is the noblest labor on earth.—Norman Press. BOOST YOUR TOWN. When you pull down flu* town in which is your home, you are pulling down yourself and your neighbor, and when you build up the town yon are not only building yourself, but your neighbors also. Try and banish from your mind the mistak en idea that all things are away off in some other locality. Give your town all the praise it can legit imately bear. It certainly will do you no harm, and will cost you nothing; and above all patronize your home institutions, including the printing oflice. Try this re ceipt and see if your town won’t grow and prosper. ANCIENTS DIO NOT KISS. The earliest peoples and earliest times did not know the kiss as we know it today. So we learn from Prof. Hopkins, of Vale, through a paper which he read to the Ameri can Oriental Society in Philadel phia. The learned professor traced the kiss loom its birth and he finds that the genuine kiss was invented by a woman. It is in an epic of India, which treats of the science of love, that the professor finds the first allusion to the osculatorv caress. “She laid her mouth to my mouth,” sings the ancient poet, •and made a noise which gave me pleasure.” It is not strange that the woman should have discovered the kiss, as the professor appears to think, s ' dways leads the way in any thing that is good. “The early peoples,” concludes the professor, “knew nothing of the kiss in any form. Had they known of it they would have told something of it in the mass of re cords that has come down to us, for, surely, an act which conveys such pleasure could not have been forgotten.” SHORT SERMONS BY NATH THOMPSON. The wa v to make your work easy, learn to do it well. 1 like an apple that shines on the outside and to the core. The way not to get ] romoted, de spise the job you have. Children are the greatest inven tion of any age. The sparkling dewdrop shows the greatness of God as well tts the blazing sun. Take a great soul to do little things well. • S'lfisliness is the sign of a shriv eled brain and a small heart. Takes artitieal stuff to make an idle woman pretty. Did yon ever hear a lazy man whistle? ‘ A do-nothing makes a be-noth iag. The bird that eats dead things n ‘vor sings. So do the folks who bed on the faults of others.

Other Griffin phsieians are also expecting to at tend.—Grittin News. ARE YOU OUT OF PLACE? If you are a clerk and hate the yardstick. If yon do not lo\’e your work and are not enthusiastic in it. If you do not long to get to it in the morning and hate to have the time to come to leave it. If you do not see something more in it than making a living—if you do not see the making of a life. If you are not growing broader, deeper. If yon are being dwarfed in any part of your nature. If your faculties are being stunt ed, your ideal dulled. If it strangles your ambition. If yon work mechanically and without heart.—Success. SENATOR CLAY TO DELIVER AN NUAL COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS, Thursday, ..June 20th, the com mencement exercises of the Mc- Donough school will begin. Hon. A. S. Clay, of Marietta, Georgia’s brilliant junior senator, will deliver the address on the 20tli. The people of McDonough are to he congratulated on having this able and cultured gentleman de liver this address. The term of school drawing to a close has been a most successful one, and teacher’s, patrons and pupils feel highly grat ified over thi> splendid year’s work that is now rapidly drawing to a close. * • A SAD DEATH. / It is with sadness we chronicle the death of the little infant baby of Mi-, and Mrs. W. D. McKinney, who died last Sunday night at its home near Sharon. Little Harry was taken suddenly ill on Tuesday night and contin ued to g'row worse until Sunday night when he peacefully passed away to the great beyond. He was only two years old. The entire community deeply simpathize with the parents in their sad bereave inent. Weep not dear father and moth er, God in bis wisdom saw tit to fake little Harry. “Suffer little children to come unto me, and for bid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven. He was laid to rest at Zion Monday. OXE WHO LOVED HIM. < \KI> OK THANKS. With hearts laden with love and gratinde. we wish to express to our many fri mds many, many thanks "‘or their svmpathy and love to ns 11 the darkest hour of onr lives. It s through just sneh help that they gave us that we are enabled to see the star of hope still shining, and to realize that th« clouds that over shadow us, still have a silver liu ing. May our Heavenly Father's richest blessings rest on each one >f them, and may their lives be long spared to minister and others, as they to us. God bless the peo ple of McDonough, is the prayer of Mr. and Mrs. W. I). Knight and family. Mr. Frank Kelley, of Atlanta, was the guest o L- liom* folks here Sundav. DERIVATION CF “TOWALGAI." John T. Boifeuillet, writing in the Magon Telegraph, gives this account of t lie derivation of the name of the stream that gives the Griffin Mills its motive power : ‘*l understand that the waters of the Towaliga, river (or creek as it is sometimes called,) will be used to generate electricty for propelling the cars of the proposed new elec tric line between Macon and Atlan ta. This stream, after dividing part of the northeastern section of Spalding conuty from Henry coun ty, runs, through Butts and Mon roe counties and empties into the Ocmulgee river. I had the curios ity to know the derivation of the Indian name Towaliga, so I con sulted Historian Butler, and he says the Indians had slain some whites in the month of July, and on returning home the scalps began to spoil through intense heat; the warriors dneamped on the river and dried the scalps over a fire, lienee Tow-aliga, roasted scalps. John Moore and Jordan Massee should see to it that no passenger on their road is left uninformed as to the meaning of the name of the river whose power will assist in car rying them to their destination.” WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS. Savannah Press. The Georgia Farmers’ Union is asking for a two-cent passenger fare on the railroads. What the Georgia farmer needs more than anything else, as President Barrett correctly assures us, is good coun try roads.—Griffin News. No doubt the farmers of the country are interested in good roads. The Railway Age is of the opinion that two bent fares may mean two-cent service. The car service at present in the United States is finer than anything in the world. The Age fears that a re duced rate would mean inefficiency. What the country need is regular schedules and improved tracks. If these can be secured the agitation for lower fares might be postponed. The Macon Telegraph thinks that the result of the two-cent fare ex periment, if it is true, will depend largely on the course the “prosper-' ity" takes in the future, and this is not quite clear now. A HARD FISH! FOR FARMER, Union News. This is going to be a year for hard fighting ; all kinds of schemes will be laid to catch the farmer. Sneh men as “Joe” Headley will propose (during the spring) to fi nance this fall’s cotton crop. The thing that worries so is to think that some of farmers are green enough to be caught in his trap. \ es, he will claim to be a. friend of the farmers, why not? He and his cohorts could afford to spend ten million of dollars to get the far mers demoralized this year. Their first plan is to get the far mers to plant everything in cotton so that enough of it will be forced on the market to enable them to hammer the prices down. Will the Southern farmer walk into this The Union News is going to do all it can to keep them from it. Plant peas, corn, sow oats, let some of your land rest, don’t plant it all in cotton. Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera ami l)i --arrlntea Kemedy. There is probably no medicine made that is relied upon with more implicit confidence than Chamber lain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. During the third of a century in which it l\as been in use, people have learned that it is the one remedy that never fails. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take.
