and tell the agent what you were
taking it for and say your case was

never as yet had a bottle returned.
How does that speak for the
medicine?
Snapping Shoals.
We hope to be able to present a few
items from this little village in such a
manner that at least they maybe read
by our immediate inhabitants. We
claim no entertaining merits with the
stilus, and perhaps should not impose
upon the good nature of a kind heart¬
ed editor, or the precious space of an
excellent newspaper, or above all, to
play the part of a deceiver by luring
many readers into this epistle by the
headlines. But we are prompted to
advance by the fact that not every
village or rural reporter is numbered
among the literati, and there is no
need of readers being deceived but
once. A wise man isn’t caught in the
same trap twice, especially if the
same bait is used; and for that rea¬
son, we Bhall endeavor to adopt one.
As for the editor, he has so much of
such stuff to contend with, as all edi¬
tors have, that no doubt his system is
capable of enough inflection and dis
sention to bear it—but we headed this
“locals and personals.”
Farmers have taken advantage of
the beautiful fall in gathering their
crops and preparing for winter. Most
have finished gathering cotton which
proved to be better than was gener¬
ally expected. About seven hundred
bales will be ginned here this season,
which is near two hundred less than
last year. These figures do not per¬
haps show a very accurate compari¬
son of the crop for the two years, as
a new gin was started at Woodstown
this season, which is on the outskirts
of this community, and the acreage
varied somewhat. Corn is very good,
potato banks are heaped high, tur¬
nips are plentiful, pork is not uncom¬
mon, and wood-houses are filled, so
we are ready for winter,
“Sullen and sad, with all his rising
train,
Vapors, and clouds, and storms.”
From the moves that are being
made this year it is evident that po¬
tato banks and turnips, etc., have not
satisfied all, and some even believe
that greater fortunes await them in
other climes. Some people are never
satisfied to remain in one place long
enough to get a real taste of what
home is, but this isn’t the case with
all who move. Some have enjoyed
this taste in the past and seek to re¬
new it, when they find their situa¬
tion is not as they like. Dr. Randall
has moved into his nice new home,
and Mr. Harve Forbes has come into
our village from near Woodstown.
We enjoyed preaching at three of
our churches Sunday.
Rev. W. O. Butler has left the Meth¬
odist church to take up his work at
Stockbridge, and Rev. Mr. Sams from
that place has entered upon his duties
here and was entertained among us
Sunday. Rev. Mr. Christian preach¬
ed for Mr. McDill at the Presbyterian
church a week ago. Rev. Mr. Butler
made many friends during his work
here and we regret to lose him from
our midst, but we are consoled by
having Mr. Sams to take his place.
Schools are progressing nicely un¬
der Misses Price and Fisher. These
young ladies are beautiful and attrac¬
tive, and are popular, both in their
work and society. No community
has a higher appreciation for noble
workers than this one. Rev. Mr. Mc¬
Dill has a few private pupils who
meet in his study for work.
About twenty young people took
the Presbyterian mouse by storm Fri¬
day night and whiled away several
hours most pleasantly. Both local
and instrumental music were enjoyed,
after which a fruit course was served,
and that the time was spent in pleas¬
ant conversations and games.
Mrs. Adams is spending a few days
with her sister, Miss Susie Weldon,
and will go from here to her new
home in the north-eastern part of the
state.
Mrs. Simons of Oregon is spending
several weeks with her sister. Mrs. J.

A Word For Fairview School.
One of the finest fall schools in the
county, is taught by Miss Ella Tur¬
ner, of Atlanta, one of the most re¬
markable features in the school, is she
teaches the children manners. Ev¬
ery boy that goes to that school,
when you meet him, you may know
he goes to Fairview school, because
he takes off his hat. That is some¬
thing no other teacher ever has ever
done in our community. They need
to be taught manners as well as
books, and everybody is pleased with
Miss Turner and her manner of teach¬
ing. Good luck to Fairview.

The Empire Life Insurance Co.
That the state of Georgia has re¬
sponded to the fact that the keeping
of money within the borders of the
state is a prime necessity to prosperi¬
ty, and now is investing more of its
life insurance premium money within
the borders of the State, is attested
by the splendid business enjoyed by
the Empire Life Insurance Company,
of Atlanta, for the year 1908, and the
great increase in this business for the i
first six months of 1909.
Through figures given out by that
company, it is learned that the insur¬
ance written in Georgia by the Em¬
pire Life for the year 1908 was paid
for business amounting to $5,949,136,
which was more than the business of
any other life insurance company do¬
ing business in the state of Georgia
during 1908.
The Empire Life Insurance Com¬
pany has steadily grown since its or¬
ganization, but especially so since the
taking of office by President William
W. Reid. He has been untiring in his
efforts, together with the other offi¬
cers of this company, to make the
Empire Life not only a great and good
company for life insurance investors,
but also a company operated along
safe, sane and conservative lines.
The Empire Life is an old-line insur¬
ance company and believes in fair
dealing and faithful performance.
The other officers of this strong South¬
ern life insurance company are S. C.
Callaway, vice president and mana¬
ger of agencies; Thomas M. Calla¬
way, secretary; Samuel Barnett, act¬
uary; E. J. Spratling, B. S., M. D.,
medical director; E. J. Hooper, gen¬
eral counsel.
From the present patronage being
given the Empire Life—a home com¬
pany—it seems safe to predict that
Twenty Million Dollars worth of in¬
surance will be in force on the books
of the Empire Life when 1910 rolls
around.
PASSENGER ELEVATORS.
Their Invention Made the Modern
Skyscraper Possible.
It is certain that the earliest and the
most indispensable of the factors which
have enabled the construction of the
mighty skyscrapers of today was the
passenger elevator and that this was
brought Into use during the sixties of
the last century, its first appearance
in New York being in the Fifth Ave¬
nue hotel. It was at about the same
time Introduced into the Astor House,
then already a generation old. So ob¬
vious was the utility of this device
that the wonder again is that it had
not been brought into practice long be¬
fore. Holsts are, of course, as old as
the Dutch warehouses, of which the
picturesqueness is enhanced by the
projecting cranes that worked the
hoists, doubtless as old as Archimedes.
But hotels, even when the Fifth Ave¬
nue was built, were conditioned in al¬
titude, as were all other buildings not
exclusively monumental, unassistA by the pow-«
ers of ascension of the hu¬
man leg. Five stories was the max¬
imum for commercial buildings, except
that an attlcal sixth might be added
for the dlseoinmodatlon of the janitor,
whose name was Hobson and who had
to go where he was sent, which, nat¬
urally, was where no “paying guest”
could be induced to go. He and his
may bnve taken their outlook on life
from slits or bullseyes just under the
roof. In the cases of hotels the sixth
story was assigned to servants and
storerooms. Tenants or Inmates could
not be induced to climb more than
four flights of stairs and grumbled
grievously in the case of inmates of
hotels and accused the hotel clerk of
perfidy when they had to climb so
many. A device which would make
all the floors, even of a five story hotel,
equally accessible, and so equally de¬
sirable, was a device very sure of im¬
mediate adoption, so sure that the only
wonder was that the supply of if
should have so lagged behind the de¬
mand. The beginnings of the eleva¬
tors were, it is quite true, the begin¬
nings also of what in their earlier
stages were known as the “elevatoi
buildings.''—Scribner's Magazine.
The Lace Curtain.
Just why there must be lace curtains
even where there is no piano or rubber
plant or gilt chair has never been ex¬
plained to the entire satisfaction of
man. He only knows that there must i
and lets it go at that. It often seems j
to him that if he could have his way, |
which is out of the question, of course,
there wouldn't be lace curtains, at
least above the cellar floor. They are
In the way when windows are to be
lowered or raised; they are apt to blow
Into the gas and burn down the house,
and alarm is constantly sounded for
fear the man will soli or tear them, j
They do not serve to keep out the
light when there is too much of It, and
the dog can’t toast himself In the sun
without getting tangled In them. |
Still, there are lace curtains every
where, and that Is all there Is to It.— ;

The Way Out.
Mr. Halle in his book "Notes From a
PaiDter’s Life” tells an amusing story j
of the celebrated caricaturist Carle 1
Pellegrini.
He borrowed £5 from the author.
“When he had got it and put It in
bis pocket he said these memorable
words in bis broken English: ‘Halle,
my fellow, if 1 take this £5 as a loan ;
every time 1 see you I say: "Dere dat
tiresome Halle. I owe him £5.” And !
you say: “Dere dat tiresome Pelican.
He owe me £5.” It make unpleasant
