(r New Crop Meal
and Hulls.
Our mill will be running in a few days, at
which time we will be prepared to furnish our
pstrons new crop meal and hulls at reasonable
prices.
Call at our office and»h*t us make you an at
tractive exchange price for your cotton seed. By
actual tests made bv many Screven county far
mers and all experiment stations, meal is far
more valuable as a manure than raw cotton seed,
and the terms upon which we exchange are so
liberal until meal can be used to a greater ad
vantage this year than ever before.

SYLVANIA, SCREVEN COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1906.
AT THE SALE.
Dedicated to some Sylvaniu ladies.
This is the tale
Of the woman who went to the sale,
Where the bargains above luing in ju
bilant numbers,
Like fairies who sottly steal over your
slumbers.
And she laughed, and she talked,
And she pushed, and she walked,
Aucl, oh, it was fun just to look at the
prices,
And think of the many and great sac
ritices.
It was twenty cents here, and eleven
cents—well !
Even eight and a half—did you ever
hear tell 1
And that one’s marked seven—oh, *an
it be true ?
She clasped her hands quickly, and
pushed her way through.
And many the things were she bought
as she talked—
And great was the fun that she had as
she walked.
She bought things that were cheap,
and things that were high,
But—odds for the difference—she canie
there to buy !
She bought stockings, both for cold
weather and hot—
And dresses, and laces—oh, heavens,
the laces she got !
And towels, and hair pins—and ribbons
galore !
No use for then, now, but a bargain,
you know' !
And garters, and shoes, and soap pack
ed in cases,
And again I must state how she bought
up the laces.
She had bundles from this side, and
bundles from that—
And packages round, and packagesflat;
And when at last she made her way
out,
With many a jostle and jocular bout
She looks like a queen, in the land of
her dreims,
So joyous, and blooming, and happy
she seems.
And this is a tale
Of the man—Lord bless him—who
went to the sale.
He got to the door, that’s as far as he
went,
And lie swore to the woman site had
every cent.
He looked like Lazarus, who stood at
the gate,
And peeped in to see how the rich
man ate.
And he waited, and whistled, and stood
in the cool—
And whittled, aud chewed, and felt
like a fool !
Until in the end the long hours had
passed,
And with arms full of bundles lie went
off at last.
He knew naught of the prices, or the
bargains he lost—
But he knew what it cost,
Yes, he knew what it cost—
Oh, he knew what it cost !

The World's Richest Legacy.
The most sensible will ever writ
ten was made by an insane man. He
minent was Charles member Lounsberry, of once a pro
the Chicago bar,
who in his later years lost his mind
and was committed to the Cook
County Asylum, at Dunning, where
he died penniless. If he had lost
his mind, he had kept his heart, or
at least, in his last moments he was
endowed with a lucidity that was
higher penniless than logic. For this strange
man, that he though he was,
knew was yet rich, and he
made a will, which, as the Chicago
Record-Herala said, was “framed
with such perfection of form and
detail that no Haw could be found in
its legal phraseology or matters.”
Inasmuch as poor, mad Charles Lo
unsberry knew Sis gold from dross, we
here reprint will:
sound 1. Charles and disposing Lounsberry, being of
mind and
memory, do hereby make and pub
lish this, my last will and testament
in order, as justly interest as may be, to dis
tribute my in the world
among succeeding of men.
That part my interest which is
known in law and recognized in the
sheep-bound volumes as my property
being inconsiderable and of none
account, I make no disposition of in
this, my will. My right to live, be
ing but a life estate, is not at my
disposal, but these things excepted,
all else in the world I now proceed
to devise and bequeath.
ITEM: I give to good fathers and
mothers in trust for their children,
ail good little words of praise and
encouragement, and all quaint pet
names and endearments, and I charge
said parents to use them justly, but
generously, as the needs of their chil
dren shall require.
ITEM: I leave to children inclu
sively, but only for the term of their
childhood, all and every, the flowers
of the fields, and the blossoms of the
woods, with the right to play among
them freely according to the customs
of children, warning them at the
same time against thistle and thorn.
And I devise to children the banks
of the brooks and the golden sands
beneath the waters thereof, and the
odors of the willows that dip therein
and the white clouds that float high
over the giant trees. And I ’eave to
children the long, long days to be
merry in, in ** thousand ways, and
night, and the moon, and the train
of the Milky Way to wonder at, but
subject, nevertheless, to the rights
hereinafter given to lovers.
ITEM: I devise to boys jointly,
all the useful, idle fields and com
mons where ball may be played; all
pleasant waters where one may swim,
all snowclad hills where one may
coast; and streams and ponds where
one may fish or where, when grim
winter comes, one may skate, to have
and to hold these same for the period
of their boyhood. And all meadows
with the clover blossoms and butter
flies thereof; the woods with their
appurtenances; the squirrels and the
birds and echoes and strange noises
and all distant places which may be
visited, together with the adventures
there found. And I give to said boys
each his own place at the fireside at
night, with aU the pictures that may
be seen in the let burning wood, to en
joy without or hindrance, and
without any encumbrance of care.
ITEM; To lovers, I devise their
imaginary world with whatever
they may need, as the stars of the sky,
the red roses by the wall, the bloom
of the hawthorn, the sweet strains of
music, and aught else they may
desire to figure to each other the
lastingness and beauty of their love.
ITEM: To young men, jointly, I
devise and bequeath all boisterous,
inspiring sports of rivalry, and I
give to them the disdain of weakened
and undaunted confidence in their
own strength. Though they are
rude, I leave to them the power to
make companions, and to them ex
clusively, I give all merry songs and
brave choruses to sing with lusty
voices.
ITEM: And to those who are no
longer children, or youths, or lovers
I leave memory, and I bequeath to
them the volumes of the poems of
Burns and Shakespeare and of other
poets, if there be others, to the end
that they may live the old days over
again, freely and fully without title
or diminution.
ITEM: To our loved ones with
snowy crowns, I bequeath the hap
piness of old age, the love and grat
itude of their children until they fall
asleep.
