There are no birds in last year’s nests,
There’s rust upon the plow;
The berry boy of last spring rests
Among; the rubbish now.
The roses that made lovers glad
In June have ceased to blow;—
Where are the hips my lady had
A little while ago?
And the maid whose braids hung down her back?
Last year she learned love’s arts,
And with a long skirt on, alack !
Is busy breaking hearts.

One day during tha Christmas holi
days of 1907 Mr. C. A. Merck was in
Atlanta, and late in the afternoon went
to the terminal station to take the train
for Newnan. Just as he entered the
coach, and before he had time to find a
seat, a Southern railway switch engine
bumped into the rear of the train. The
jostle caused Mr. Merck to lose his
balance, and he fell backward across!
the arm of one of the car-seats. He
was seriusly injured by the fall, and,
although he has had the best treatment
from local physicians and specialists,
he has been unable to walk since the
accident. We understand that the rail
roads have made propositions to settle
the case, but the amounts offered in j
settlement were considered inadequate
by Mr. Merck, and he has brought suit
against the Atlanta and West Point
railroad and the Southern lailwav for j
$5u,000 damages, the roads being sued |
jointly and separately. He is repre
sented by Col. W. C. Wr'ght, of this
city, and Col. Reuben R. Arnold, of
Atlanta.
Card of Thanks.
For each kind thought, word or act
given either us or our loved one during
the months of her suffering, at the
time of her going away, and since she
left us. we want to thank our friends
and neighbors. May they and we, as
she did, think of God as the friend and
companion whose love, in spite of all
that seems to contradict it, is the deep
est reality of the universe, ever keep
ing before us the idea of that future
life in which energies that here have
been cramped, spiritual possibilities
that have been crushed by circum
stances, will there come to perfect
fruitage. Harry M. Lundie,

IN YOUR
GARDEN
There is no reason why you
shouldn’t have a good garden,
and there is nothing that will
pay you quite as handsomely
on the investment. If your
ground is properly prepared,
if you have it properly work
ed, the only remaining essen
tial is GOOD SEED.
But no matter how fertile
the ground, or how well you
have it tended, it is all wasted
if the seed are poor. When
we say poor seed it does not
necessarily mean old seed.
They may be perfectly fresh,
but poor stock—just as a scrub
and a Jersey are both cows.
We sell GOOD SEED. We
buy our supplies in bulk direct
from I). Landreth & Co., who
have been in the business for
125 consecutive years. We
package them in our place,
giving liberal measure. We
guarantee that they are fresh,
full measure, anil the best that
money will buy. The most
successful gardeners in New
nan are among our customers.
Are you one of them?
