V fitrald and Advertiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 22. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Confederate Flags. Magazine of American History* The first Confederate flag was the stars and liars, a blue field and three Immigrant Savings for Europe. $t6,000 forwarded by sons of France, should be but a single proposition, this : In 1905 the Italians in America alone Does the farm properly managed pay? sent back to Europe more than 295,000 Without the slightest hesitation we say erate flng and the stars and stripes looked at a distance bo much alike that it was hard to distinguish one from the other. Gen. Beauregard, thinking that serious mistakes might be made in rec ognizing our troops, after the battle of .July 18, at Blackburn Ford, ordered that a small badge should be worn the left shoulder by our troops, and I was chief quartermaster, ordered me to purchase a large amount of red flan nel and to distribute it to each regi ment. "This Confederate batt ; e-flag was adopted in September, 1861, and was designed by Generals Johnston and Beauregard. Red was its color, with a blue St. Andrew’s cross reaching from corner to corner and white stars on the cross representing the different South ern States. The women of the South made these flags by hundreds out of their red and blue silk dresses. Miss Constance Cary, who afterwards be came Mrs. Burton Harrison, the well- known novelist, was one of the three Southern girls who made the first three battle-flags "I saw such a pretty woman at a dis advantage the other night,” the little real widow was saying. "She was married. She was sitting at a table with some other pretty women and handsome men and her husband. Her husband began to flirt outrageously with one of the women. I wish you could have seen the look that came over her face. Everybody in the room saw how distressed she was. "Now, what I want to know is this: Why didn’t she go to work and flirt with one of the handsome men to get even? Anyone of them was quite ready and willing; but, no, wives never seem to be able to do that. They just sit ready to cry, with everybody noticing. "That’s the advantage we real wid ows have over wives. We don’t have to sit and watch our husbands flirting with other women. We know where they are, and we also know that \yhat- ever they may chance to be doing, they are probably not llirting.” Of Pablo Sarasate, the famous vio- lin'st, who died at Biarritz, a New York musician said the other day : "I dined with Sarasate during his last American tour. We talked of suc cess, and he declared that success was due in the main to exceedingly hard work. " ‘To become a great violinist or a great pianist,’ he declared, ‘one must have the exaggerated ideas of work that prevail among Scottish farmers.’ "He said that a young boy got a job with a Scottish farmer once. " ‘ "Ye’ll sleep in the barn,” the farmer said, "and I’ll expect ye out in the field lika morn at four o’clock.” Very well, sir,” said the boy. " ‘But the first morning he overslept a little and it was half-past four when he reached the field. " ‘The farmer, leaning on his hoe, gave him a blank look. Where have ye been all the fore noon??” he growled,” ’ ” A minister's wife, a doctor’s wife and a traveling man’s wife met one day recently, and were talking about the forgetfulness of their husbands. The minister’s wife thought her hus band was the most forgetful man liv ing because he would go to church and forget his notes, and no one could make out what he was trying to preach about. The doctor’s wife thought her hus band was the most forgetful, for he would often start out to see a patient and forget his medicine case, and, therefore, travel miles for nothing. “Well,” said the traveling man’s wife, "my husband beats that. He came home the other day and patted me on the cheek and said: ‘I believe I have seen you before, little girl. What is your name?’ ” It is told of a Michigan editor that he grew tired of lying about people in obituary notices, and then have people call him a hypocrite, so he wrote up one well-known citizen.

If you know how to properly Italy, according to the best estimates ! prepare, fertilize and treat the soil, possible, changed about $51,000,000 into and what crops to grow on that soil, Italian money, which they carried home. The constant going back and forth of Italian wage-earners and their almost ceaseless carriage or transmission of cash give them special interest in the financial view. Other immigrants send their savings to help parents and de pendents in the old country. The Ital ians do that, too, but they also send accumulations for their own establish ment in their own sunny land. The transfer of $62,000,000 in a single year, as indicated by the above figures for 1908, becomes of important effect on the national prosperity of Italy. “A Pretty Posy.” New York Times. Whether it was a mistake or a joke, or simply an example of bad taste, is a question that is still puzzling most of the passengers. But no matter about that; it certainly was a floral master piece. Full four feet it stood from the ground, in the form of a cross. Roses white and roses red composed the body of the cross and dainty white blossoms and green leaves formed the trimmings. In the center the word "Peace” was spelled out in rosebuds. Everybody in the car admired the offering, and when the boy set it down on the floor all leaned forward to ex amine it more closely. At length one old gentleman stood up and readjusted his glasses in order to get a better look at it. "That is a mighty pretty posy you’ve got there,” he said. "Who, may I ask, is dead?” The boy giggled. "Nobody ’t I know of,” he said. “This ain’t for a funeral; it’s for a wedding.” The old gentleman sat down heavily. "Good Lord!” he said. "What idiot ever ordered ‘Peace’ inscribed on a wedding decoration?” The rest of the passengers smiled, and many of them, being married, wondered as well, but nobody ventured an explanation. Mrs. W—— went shopping one after noon, and little George, taking advan tage of her absence, committed many misdeeds. On being told later of his misbehavior, she promised the little truant a whipping. Evidently pondering over the punish ment which was to visit his bad con duct, never once did the guilty boy raise his head during the entire 3upper, but when the meal was finished he im mediately stole up to bed. His mother walked softly behind. Kneeling at the bedside, his little hands joined and the little face turned up, she heard the boy’s prayer: "Oh, God, mamma says you like little children. If you want to help a little boy now is a good time.” Both God and mamma heard the prayer, and George’s request was granted. A clergyman in Chillicothe, O., was summoned in haste by a woman who had been taken suddenly ill. The reverend gentleman went in some wonder, for he knew that she was not of his parish, and was, moreover, said to be devoted to her own minister, the Rev. Mr. — While he was waiting in the parlor, before being shown to the sick room, he fell to talking with the little girl of the house. ‘It is very gratifying to know that your mother thought of me in her ill ness,” said he. "Is Dr. — out of town?” “Oh, no,” answered the child, in a matter-of-fact tone. "Dr. — isn’t away. Only we thought it might be something contagious, and we didn’t want to take any risk.” Commencement day at Dothem Hall, the famous seminary for young ladies. “Papa,” said the pretty girl in white, let me present you to Miss Dothem, our principal.” Miss Dothem beamed on the old man. "I congratulate you, sir,” she said, "upon your extremely large and affec tionate family.” ‘Large and affectionate?” he stam mered. ‘Yes, indeed,” said Miss Dothem. "No less than twelve of May’s brothers have come steadily during the winter to take her driving and sleighing, while the two older ones were most assiduous in escorting her to the theatre twice a week.” Why is the English grammar like rheumatism? Because it is torture (taught jirJ and how to grow them, there is no question—you will grow a good, remu nerative crop. The same is true for all classes of live stock, for horticultur al industries and dairy lines ; in fact, any agricultural specialty, managed with skill and thoroughness will bring its reward. The reason a man hates to buy [hie own underwear instead of his wife is he can never remember whether his waist measure is the size of his collar or the amount of his coal bill. Why should an artist never be short of money? Because if he is good at his trade he can draw money. Marrying for money is better than dying in poverty—sometimes.

On the other hand, we do of our late brother, Dr. A. C. Pease, | aH follows. This is the statement of aliens coming from “all other parts of not know of a single farm properly make the following report: Dr. Pease j Gen. William L. Cabell: Europe,” sent 108,000, as against the | managed that does not pay. There was born in the State of Connecticut on the 23d day of September, in the year 1826. He died at Newnan, Ga., on the 23d flay of November, in the year 1908, at the advanced Hge of 82 years and 2 months. He came to Newnan and be came a citizen of this city and State in April, 1865, and united by initiation with this lodge Jan. 1, 1859; passed Feb. 5, 1859, and raised Feb. 19, 1859. Shortly after his removal to Georgia, he ceased to practice dentistry, anti associated himself with the late Dr. J. T. Reese, in the drug business, in which he continued up to a few years before his death. Thus for more than fifty years he was thoroughly identified with the business people of this sec tion, and was held in highest esteem as an upright, faithful, just and honest husines man and citizen. As a drug gist, he was very careful, painstaking and accurate. A business man of un qualified integrity, he held the confi dence of all who dealt with him at home and abroad. It is with pleasure we speak of him as a brother Mason. "Worthy and well qualified,” he loved our "Ancient Order,” and held most sacred its un surpassed moral obligation, while the emblems, the "white aprons,” "white gloves,” and the “Evergreen,” togeth er with ail other emblems, were to him monitors of Love, Purity and Fidelity, while he recognized in the "working tools” of a MnHon our obligation of fairness and faithfulness to one anoth er and to all men. He likewise recog nized in the "Three Great Lights” of our order, to-wit: the Worshipful Mas ter, the open Bible, and God, the Su premo Architect of the Universe, light and duties sublime and commanding. The Eternity of God the future State —and the immortality of the Soul, were truths which he fully accepted and called forth his most earnest research and utmost endeavor. But after his long life ho has nn- swerod to the body’s last call, “Dust thou art.'and unto dust shall thou re turn.” He has viewed the designs on the tressel board for the last time in this life. In conclusion, may wo not he allowed to express a hope that at some future time, on some future oc casion, we may meet him in the tem ple above—the "Home not made with hands, and which is eternal.” Resoled, 1. That in the death of Bro. Pease this lodge has lost an efficient, true and faithful member. Resolved, 2. That we wear for 30 days the usual badge of mourning. Resolved, 3. That this memorial and these resolutions he, by the Secretary of the Lodge, entered upon a page of the Lodge Record reserved for that purpose, that a copy of them be given to the city papers for publication, and a copy he sent to the nephews and nieces of our deceased brother at Bos ton, Mass. Respectfully submitted, J. B. S. Davis, H. H. North, E. H. Bowman. Committee. S.S.S MORE PINKHAM CURES Added to the.Long List due to This Famous Remedy.

Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very “engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen liow necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities,, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow- complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or even scatcli or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion are set up and the sore continues. Bad blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of healing, cleansing roots and herbs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and all other diseases or disordtrs arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and. any medical advice desired free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GJL Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be i mproved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich the blood and to invigorate and tone up the system. This spring my blood was bad and I was run down in health, and having seen your medicine highly advertised I commenced its use. Today my blood is in fine condition and my general health is of the best. Am filling posi tion as fireman for a large concern here, and if I was not in good physical condition it would be impossible for me to fill the place. Your S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves. WM. F. VANDYKE. 815 Fifth Street, Beaver Falls, Penn.
