Shadows, you have heard the reading ! We are pleased to know that the in-
It i
tin has
following is one of his many finely told I ( ] ay .
—Mr. D. F. New, accompanied by his
daughters, Misses Mary Lou and Rena,
visited Atlanta Monday.
—Preparatory to taking his depart-
narrutives. but lacks his charming flow
of words. Returning from Newnan
late one afternoon, amongst other bal
last he had an unbroached quart of
“sperrits.” Ashe had some instruc
tions to leave with his saw-miller he
concluded to stop at the mill. Know
ing that a qaurt would not furnish ex
hilaration for all who might chance to
be at the mill, he hid the whiskey be
hind a log just before reaching the
mill. On arrival ho found, among oth
er visitors and customers, the district
bailiff, Jim Hughie a lad of infinite;
jest, ns will appear as the plot thick
ens. After the mill hands had knocked
off lor the day, and the rosy twilight
had faded from the western horizon,
an i the whippoorwill was trilling his
mournful lay, and the owl was hooting
deep-throated from his fastness in a
nearby swamp, Jim Hughie made
known to the party that he had a war
rant for one Pulaski Sticher, a notori
ously bad man of the neighborhood. He
notified all present that they were
summoned as a posse comitatus to as
sist him in arresting the aforesaid bad
man. Each of the men began to ren
der excuses why he could not accom
pany the grim lictor of the law on his
danger breeding mission. Hughie would
hear no excuse, but. being a man of
tact, with a little persusion finally got
all the posse to the sticking point. The
expedition consisted of Jim Hughie,
Capt. Martin, Jim Harris and Bill Pen-
dergrast. At tho last moment Jim j
Harris, the miller, insisted that he
must go by home and let his wife
know he’d-likely be out late, but the
bailiff would not give his assent.
■“Then,’’ said Harris, “if you won’t let
me go tell my wife. I must shut the
water off at the mill-race.” “No,”
said Hughie, “the demands of the law
are upon you, and you must, laying all
other business aside, go with me to ar
rest Sticher.” Seeing no chance of es
caping an unpleasant duty the posse
thereupon marched up the road, with
the measured tread of veterans. The
main thread of the conversation was
being held by Hughie and Capt. Mar
tin. who were descanting on the des
perate prowess of Sticher. This, as a
matter of course, had rather a nerve-
racking effect upon the other mem
bers of the posse. It was observed by
Harris and Pendergrast that the bail ff
and Capt. Mai tin were at times talking
in a guarded undertone, which bore
ure for Panama, Carson Teague visited
his “steady” at Anniston Tuesday. The
duetists, Travis anti Griffin, have com
posed a fine song anent the adventures
that await Mr. Teague when he goes to
become neighbor to the big ditch.
— Before this goes to press we’ll
have a new President; but, for the life
of me, I do not know his name. I’ll
bet a bill it’ll be a Bill, though.

—I had come to the conclusion that 1
was au fait as to the relative standing
of the mythological deities belonging
to the Roman pantheon; but, alas! I
made a grand faux pas in an allusion
to the god of war in a local item in last
week’s issue of The H. & A. I desig
nated Mercury as being that deity.
The misnomer was caused by a lapse of
memory. I have been indicted, ar
raigned and tried at the eternal bar of
the gods for lese majesty. The court
scene, indictment and trial follow:

Imitation baking powders are made from harsh

unhealthful properties
of this bill of indictment. What pun
ishment shall we inflict upon him'.”’
Minerva -"Sire, your sway over gods
and men is undisputed. You ride upon
the#)osom of the storm. Tne gnarled
trunk of the oak is riven by thy puis
sant bolts. The fleeing tail of the com
et is shorn by thine omnipotent shears.
The bosom of Old Ocean is beaten to a
froth when thou dost breathe in anger
upon it. The great leviathan and the
herring are given mal de mere when
thou churneth the vasty, deep. Then,
O Sire of Heaven, Earth, and a half
dozen infinities of space, why arraign
an atom of dust called man before this
august tribunal? It is human to err—
godlike to forgive ”
Mars—“Wench, cease thine idle prat
ing. Thou speakest with les reason
than Poe’s Raven. Besides, it is
known to this court that one of your
sex. Madame Eve. caused her spouse.
Adam, to fall, and his race has been
falling ever since. If the court needed
further example of feminin perfidy
we’d call attention to beautiful Helen
of Troy, who raised sheol for ten years
in the Trojan camp, to sav nothing of
one of the Borgia breed who played
whaley with the poison cup. The busi
ness for which we are here assembled
has a more serious complexion than
that for which thou contendest. woman.
1 have been slandered, as is clearly
shown by the bill of indictment, and
doubt if the Grand Inquest, who for
mulated this indictment, grasped the
enormity of the offense. To my mind
it is clear that the aforesaid Mortal is
guilty of lese majesty in its most fla
grant form. Without the least effort
to contort the fact, he should also have
been indicted for blasphemy. But
since this inquest has seen proper to
put but one count in this bill. I shall
insist that the court vindicate me. who
is deprived of the appellation of the
God of War. which I have enjoyed t'or
two dozen centuries. You appeal to
,);he great Jupiter for mercy for what
you are pleased to term an atom of
dust, who has maligned me most gross
ly. Let it be known, here and now, that
if that Mortal were no bigger than a
chigger’s eyelash, my voice would be
for chastising his impertinence.”
Vulcan—“When the Court of Heaven
opens for the transaction of business
the women should be sent to the nurse
ry to coddle infants. Infractions
against this court must be punished,
whether perpetrated by gods or mor
tals. Tender appeals made by woman
to this stern court of justice may dull
the edge of eternal resolve. Let not
their counsels or appeals obtain where
the inexorable demands of the law
should be enforced. The culprit de
serves the eternal bastinado. Give
him. if needs be, the bed of Pro
crustes.”
Neptune—“Yea, it is a most villikn-
ous impeachment. The knavish Mor
tal calls our thievish confrere. Mercury,
the God of War. Mars, poor shade!
must be relegated to the realms of the
forgotten by this impertinent son of
man. Mercury is given, in his stead,
the flaming insignia of havoc. Baser
and of lower degree, this commercial
foundling is gazetted in the realms of
mythology as the god of commerce, the
patron of heralds and messenger of the
corn trade, of merchant guilds, and of
thieves. Nothing short of the thumb
screw applied to that careless corres
pondent will meet the ends of justice.”
Mercury—“Because a flippant Mor
tal, wittingly or unwittingly, has seen
tit to proclaim me God of Wav, is that
any resason why I should be browbeat
en and berated in open court? I see no
reason why Mars should sneeze because
I’ve been given snuff, or why I am
made the butt of your criticisms. In
truth, Mars is no more respectable
than am 1. He is just a plain tin god;
—so am I. And the whole mythologi
cal court has less than a veneering of
realism about them. So far as meting
out condign punishment to that Carroll
ton correspondent is concerned. I am
against it. and shall give him a chromo
for exercising good judgment in thus
designating me.”
Jupiter—“Wrangle not, ye poten
tates of thin air. The-evidence is all in.
This court finds the defendant guilty
as charged in the indictment. Sentence
is suspended during his gooi behavior.”
—Arthur Collins, Billy Murray. Bob-
Roberts, and all other singers of na
tional repute, must go way back and
sit down when our Prof. Mullens takes
the songster’s platform. He was in
Douglasville this week, where, as usual,
he sang the opposition to a standstill.

Necessity for Sleep.
Journal of Agriculture.
The farmer should pay much attention
to his sleeping-room. No other worker,
perhaps, needs sleep and plenty of it
more than he. The bed-room should
have an ample number of windows in
order to admit the proper amount of
light and air. and at all times during
the day in the warmer months the room
should we given plenty of air. So im
portant is this considered by many
that both winter and summer the bed
room windows are kept open, permit
ting a free circulation of the outdoor
air which will tend to induce sleep. A
comfortable bed is also essential for
the farmer. As a general thing a
feather bed proves too warm for sum
mer time. A soft cotton mattress with
springs will, no doubt, prove more ac
ceptable to the weary farmer. A slight
elevation for the head is better than
two or three pillows. The body should
he on as near a level as possible, and
never in a cramped position. So the
bed should be wide and long enough. A
man can never rest well if he falls
asleep with the thought that he may
tumble out of bed before morning. He
is most certain to fall out in a trouble
some dream, if not in reality. Then
the farmer needs to stretch himself
out at full length, relaxing every mus
cle and giving himself a chance to rest
all over. If the bed is too short he is
most certain to spend a restless night.
A little thought in regard to these
things will no doubt add comfort to the
farmer, and will probably prolong his
life a number of years.
Cured Rheumatism.
Nearly everybody is susceptible to a
twinge of rheumatism, sciatica, tooth
ache, headache or neuralgia, and it’s
never safe to he without a good reme
dy for an emergency of this kind.
No matter what kind of pain x you
have the beneficial effect of Sloan’s
Liniment is immediate. You lay it on
lightly—no rubbing whatever, and a
pleasant warmth is felt at once. The
liniment penetrates right to the bone
and quickly stops the pain.
Mr. Chas. J. Budlong, of Anthony,
R. I., box 125, writes; “For many
years I was a great sufferer from rheu
matism. My hips would swell to enor
mous proportions and my knee joints
would pain me in the most excrucia
ting, awful manner imaginable. I used
often to have to fall from the bed into
a chair and thence to the floor, when I
wanted to get from my bed. I used
only some six or eight bottles of your
celebrated liniment and was cured. I
cheerfully recommend its use to all
rheumatic sufferers. Refer to me if
you so desire. All letters answered.”
The patient architect had just suc
ceeded in getting Mrs. Drippingold to
decide between the charms of Renais
sance, Classic and Queen Anne for the
plans of her magnificent new country
house.
“The only details I ain’t a going to
leave to your discretion,” said the
wealthv lady, “is the matter of towers
that folks can see for a long way off
when they’re ridin’ by.”
“But what kind of towers do you
want?” inquired the unfortunate archi
tect. “Norman, Gothic—”
Mrs. Drippingold closed the English
novel of high life on which her soul
had been feeding.
“Why. ancestral towers, of course.”
LEFT ON NER DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER
Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Livermore, Cal.,
writes: “I picked up from my door
step one day a little book in which I
soon became very much interested.
My little girl of five years of age had
been troubled for a long time with
1 loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in a very delicate condition.
"This little book was very compre
hensively written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele
ments of the cod's liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which la
so hard for children to take.
“ 'Just the thing,’ said I, 'for my little
daughter,’ and I immediately went for
a bottle of Vinol. It helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength, and she does not
take cold half so easily.
"I am extremely grateful for the
good it has done her, and I hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by my
experience and Just give Vinol a trial.”
