I / fierald and fldocriiscr. NEWNAN CA„ FRIDAY, JULY 17. Entered at the l*ost Office, Newnan, <»a., ' ns second-class ninil mat(er. OH, FOR A DAY! WILFRID BCAWKH BU NT. Oil, for n day of spring, A day of flowers and folly. Of liirds 11,at pipe mid sing And boyhood's melancholy. I would not grudge the laughter, The tenrn Hint followed after. Oh, for a day of youth, A day of strength nnd passion ; Of words that told the truth, And deeds that truth would fashion' I would not leave untasted One glory while it lasted. Oh, for a dav of days, A dny witli you and pleasure; Of love in all its ways, And life in all its mensuroI Win ms that day from sorrow, And let me die to-morrow. TO AVOID DIVORCE COURT. Thu greatest danger that monneea taniily life is its too great familiarity. It’n pretty hard, of courae, to continue to worship a rnnn ns a hero of romance after you tlnd out that ho eats onions nnd snores. By the samo token it must he a strain on the masculine im agination to see an angel in the wo man who cornea down to breakfast in slouchy wruppors and curl papers. It is when these homely details of ex istence clash that love’s young dream gels its lirst jar, and Cupid so often nhuls up shop and quits husineRB. Perhaps the host remedy for this, and the one thing that would do more to promote conjugal felicity than any thing else, would ho the introduction of a littln more of formality and con ventionality into dotnostic lifo, and tho putting of loss faith in tho fallacy that marringes give you carte blanche to troat tho party of tho othor purl as you please. Personally, I am con vinced that politeness will do more than tho strongest moral principles to mako a happy home. You can’t be courtoous and quarrelsome or consid erate nnd nasty at the samo time, and if wo put more stress on tho efllcacy of good manners nnd less on tho po tency of undying affection, lower poo- plo would laud in tho divorce court. We don't do tills. Wo give our best —our bust manners, our best conver sation, our best clothes, our host lood —to strangers—while to our own—to the people wo would suffer for, and die for—wo show a lack of considera tion that is not even common decen cy. There isn’t a person living so dull that he cannot pick out a husband and wife in any crowd. Wo know them by the way in which they straggle along on I ho stroot, the heavy, dull flllence that reigns between them, by their listless and bored expression, by the way in which they blame eneh other for every control cm pH, by tho very fact that they are treating each other as they would not dare to troat any other human being. This is not what they married for. if, when they were lovers, they could have looked into the future and seen themselves disillusioned, bored, two people who had gotten on each other’s nerves and got nothing but friction out of life, they would have dolled matrimony us they would the leprosy. It is a common tragedy, hut one I never see without wondering if it could lie avoided, if the wile would only treat her husband llko she would some other man whom she desired to please. Every woman knows what that means, because every woman lias her little repertoire of stunts—nirs and graces and fascinations—that she goes through for the benefit of the person on whom she desires to make a good impression. Suppose, for instance, the man who is coming to dinner to-night were not your patient, tired John, who spends his life toiling for you, but some other man whom you liked and respected, what would you do? You would see that your table was well spread and the little dishes he affected most were specially prepared, and then you would put on a pretty frock, and when lie came give him a gracious welcome that would make him feel that his coming brought happiness and bright ened tlie hour. No matter what littlo vexations had tormented you through the day, you would put them away. You would not dream of worrying him with all the details ot tlie cook’s | failures and tho children's badness, i and still less would you vent on him , the temper and crossness and spleen : that you bad been accumulating on j account of your dressmaker failing you and the cat breaking your vase. ! On tho contrary, observing that ho looked tired and worn, you would ex ert yourself to entertain him. You would 'ell him all the funny stories you had heard, you would give him a sketch of your latest club meeting that would make him laugh, and you would retail to him all the cheery personal gossip you kuow of your in timate friends. Perhaps the man is fond of talkiug of himself. You would ask him a deft question or two to get him started on his hobby, aud you would listen with apparently rapt atteutiou while he explained the situation in Manchuria, or prophesied about whav the Demo cratic party was going to do, and if he told some stories, no matter if you had heard them from your infancy up, you would laugh at the right spot if you had to take laughing gas to do it. But how do you treat your own husband? If you feel like dress ing) you will do it, but not for him. Oh, dear, no. Any old rag is good enough for your husband. Also, any sort of a dinner, and if he don’t like what is set before him, be can lump it, that’s all. Men—at least husbands —think too much about eating, any way. When he comes in you won’t raise your head to more than grunt out, “That you, John? Be sure to latch the door, you’ll let the cat out.’’ Then you commence the jeremiad of the day about how the coal is out, and the cook says she’s got to have more wages, and the baby bumped its head, and tlie meat didn’t come, and the plumbing is out of order, and Hallie’s got to have new shoes, and Bobby iB threatened with tho measles, and Tom is so bad he needs a whipping, and goodness knows what inakeH a woman got married, anyway! And if poor John survives this del uge of woes, and heroically tries to tell a story, you break right in to the host part of it with some perfectly ir relevant romark that shows you haven’t listened to a word of it. And poor John, thinking of the charming wny you troat perfect strangers, must wish with ull his heart nnd soul that he was a casual guest instead of a fix ture in your house. Worse than all, and the rock on which tho mnlrimouial ship is often- est wrocked, is the fatal mistuke wo men make in supposing that marriage gives people a right to Bpoak the truth to each other. No woman is dull onough to fall into that error in regard to other men. No daughter of Eve was ever so stupid as to even dream of pointing out his faults to a stran ger. Imagine a woman telling Mr. Brown to his face that bis taste is atrocious, or Mr. Smith that bis long- winded stories are a bore, or Mr. Jones that he is a pretentious prig, or Mr. Gray that his vanity makes him a laughing-stock. Why, n jury of her peers would convict such n woman of insanity on the Bpot, but plenty of women have the nerve to say such things to their husbands, and then wonder that love pans out. If wo men would only use half the compli ments in holding a husband that thoy use in getting him we should hoar very little of her recreant spotiBos. Cholera Infantum. This has long been regarded as ono of f ile most, (langemtitl and fatal dis eases to which infants are subject. It can be cured, however, when properly treated. All that is nt'eossry is to give Chttmberliiiii’s flolic, Cholera and I hurrher i Itemedy and castor oil, as di rected with bottle, and a cure is sure to follow. For sale by Bradley A Wes ter. The Woes of Sweet Alice. Chicago Record. “Alice is so worried," said her mother, “that you will have to ex- cuso her if she seems to be a little out of sorts this evening.” “What’s the trouble?" asked tlie young lady’s Uncle Abner, who had come in from tho country on u little visit. “She has had such a distressing time of it with her maids lately. You see, the one she had after she came borne from college went and got murried about three months ago, and since then the poor child has really had to wait on herself most of the time. We found a young woman who came here from Washington with excellent rec ommendations, nnd for a little while Alice was very happy. She thought she had found a jewel. Annie could button her shoes so lovely, aud it seemed to be actually a pleasure for her to be dressed by tho now maid, but one dny a dreadful thing hap pened. Alice caught her using her seal on a letter she had written, both happening to hnvo the same initials. “Tho next maid Alice got stole one of her diamonds, nnd that, of course, was very unpleasant. Then she got one who always managed to upset something when she took the poor child’s breakfast upstairs to her, aud Alice couldn’t get used to it. The maid she has now eeems to mean well, but she is very inexperienced aud of ten forgets to say ‘Miss' when she an swers questions. It grates on Alice’s nerves, and I don’t know what we shall do unless there is a change for the better soon ’’ “It’s too blamed bad,” said Undo Abner. “I s’spose she’s bothered al most as much us you used to be when the cows wouldn’t keep from switebiu’ at the llies while you set there milkin’ ! 'em, eh?" Yet some people wonder why tlie rich should dread their country rela- | fives. The Foundation of Health. Nourishment is the foundation of health, life, strength.

Believe in Yourself. Woman's Home Companion. Believe in yourself. That iB the way to make other people believe in you, and it is the way to become what you want to be. It is the people who have believed thoroughly in them selves and their mission who have made the world believe in them. It is interesting in this connection to recall the observation of a certain psychologist who was experimenting with a chicken, and bow it was trained to bravery points a lesson to the diffi^ dent. The chick was so timid that he ran from the least intrusion. If anoth er chick picked at him, be ran. If he was jostled by his brother in a scram ble for food, he withdrew from the scramble out of pure fear. But the psychologist set about teaching him to believe in himsilf. By enticing the other chickens with food he made them run in an opposite direction from the timid chicken. Prts- ently the chick began to run after them ; and as they ran away when he chased them, he believed that they wore afraid of him, nnd courage flamed in his breast. Little by little lie got brave, and he chased harder. He was so set up that he began to at tack the others in front as well as in the reur. He wub so used to having them run from him that he had for gotten what it was to be afraid. He becamo a fighter, and in the end the others ran from him in earnest. He was just the same chicken, so far as his physical powers were concerned— that is, the same in relation to the other chicks. Only one thing had changod ;—now he believed in himsolf, and the hen- yard was his oyster. Human beings are not very differ ent from chickens. If you are afraid of the world, the world will misuse you, If you march valiantly forward, it will retreat before you. If you take the word “fail” out of your bright lexicon, you do not fail. It all lies in what you believe you can do. Believe, then, in yourself. Never fear failure or hesitate to do a thing because you think you would not succeed. Just gird yourself up, and go after what you want, nnd in nine cases out of ten you will get it. Valuable Time Saved.

A drummer of Jackson, Miss., re cently received a letter which read something like this: “Dear Mr. : Would you’ be kind enough to return my photo graph? I gave it to you in a moment of girlish folly, aud I have since had occasion to regret that I was so thoughtless in this matter. I am about to become engaged, etc." The poor girl pictured to herself that the photograph was framed aud hung up in his room, and was inclined to think that he would part from it only with deep regret. The answer to her note came by express and read as follows: “Dear Miss : Enclosed find 41G photos. Please pick yours out and return the remaining 415, charges collect. I regret that I am unable to pick it out myself." And yet this drummer is considered “a good fellow.” Two Bottles Cured Him. "i was troubled with kidney com plaint for about two years,” writes A. H. Davis, of Mt. Sterling. Ia., "but, two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure effected a permanent cure.
