- -The Australian bushman is the pat
entee of the boomerang, a kind of shil-
lalah that a boomerang artist can throw
at a man standing behind u fodder-
stack and hit him. These artists are in
great, demand by the IJ. S. Government
- -especially the postollice officials. In
each of the large cities where postal
clerks are put in training, the boom
erang man tenches the clerks how to
throw bundles, packages and letters in
mail Imgs and pigeon-holes. They are
soon taught to make a letter perform a
circle and hunt its hole. It is dead easy
to make them do right angles and go to
their places. Prof. Andrew Martin, a
railway postal clerk, in the near future
will give an exhibition of his prowess!

audiences.
-After spending a couple of weeks
with relatives here, Mrs. Sarah Stone
returned to Villa Rica Thursday.
- That the people have become in
earnest about raising money to com
plete our Confederate monument you
have only to note the number of classes
of people interested. That worthy
body, the II. D. C., have resumed ac
tive operations in that behalf. A pro
gressive domino party was held Wed
nesday afternoon at the elegant home
of A. K. Snead. An admission fee of
25c. was charged each attending mem
ber. and the proceeds added to the
monument fund. We congratulate the
ladies for their indomitable efforts in
this behalf.
—Mrs. F. M. Camp had as guests
this week her sister, Mrs. .). C. Reid
and little daughter, of Mogansville.
They returned home Tuesday.
—The Meriwether Vindicator an

While here Mr. Wilson has proven a
great social lion. He is first at the
hop, first in social games, end first in
the hearts of the ladies. To the gener
al bereavement of the fair sex he tore
himself from Carrollton Saturday and
hied him to his mountain haunts.
—Do the spirits in Limbo ever return
to earth as reincarnated mortals? If
you have never met one let me prepare
you for such a seance by telling you an
experience I had with such an one. On
a recent night, at an hour when the
Blumber god and ghosts flit athwart
the darkened heavens, a light “rap, rap,
rap,” at my chamber-door waked me.
In the main I’m a little ghost-shy, and
leery of all nightly sounds that are not
plainly explainable. Notwithstanding
these mental and physical weaknesses
I was not in the least disturbed by the
sound, and, contrary to my habit, was
impelled, without asking any questions,
to open the door. There stood a, man
before me, seemingly about threescore
and ten. Projecting from his scalpular
region were a folded pair of wings,
their upper ends rising some inches
above and to each side of the back of
his head, and their tips touching the
floor at his heels. The wings had the
appearance of being long, broad, stout
and body-supporting. He stood as
though he had just lit from a sudden
flight; his features bore marks of ex
ertion. Composing myself, 1 said in a
kindly tone: “Fair sir, what can I do
for you nt this hour?” He bestowed
upon me a benignant smile and replied :
“My venerable friend, I’m just from
Limbo, where I’ve been doing penal
servitude for 2,300 years. Greece was
in her glory when I entered that abode.
I’ve a pretty fair record to my credit
during this period, and Pluto, the boss
few
days’outing. My name is Socrates;
but in Limbo the boys, who are all on
good terms with each other, call me
‘Soc’ for short. Before letting my
wants be known I’ve made bold, good
Mortal, to tell you who I be. I’ve been
on the wing about six and thirty hours
and would like to have a ‘bite and a sup, ’
if you’ve anything about the house.
The lust drink I took on earth was a
hemlock sour in Athens jail 399 B. C.,
and what it did for my internal gearing
was a. p. That my viscera was hem
lock-tanned goes without saying, and
by the same process my skin was given
a saddle-colored hue. as you will ob
serve.” 1 ushered the ancient philoso
pher into my room, unhooked his wings
and hung them on the wall. Under the
glare of the electric light I found my
guest a saffron-hued ancient, clad in a
mother hubbard, girded about the loins
with a crash towel with infembrated
edges. His sandals were of the Greek
type, and laced to his calves in diago
nal squares, after the manner of a
Scotch Highlander. He threw himself
wearily into a rocker and hoisted his
feet on a level with his head on the
stove-fender. These little liberties as
sured me he was feeling pretty much
at home, which evidences pleased me.
I buslled around and soon had him a
snack of canned truck a box of sar
dines, some smoked herrings, hard
tack; and a bottle or so of coca-cola
He devoured his feed like a stone-cut
ter, but made a villainously wry face
as lie swallowed the Candler brew. He
Miss Fitts visi
nounces as one of Greenville’s recent
guests the presence of Miss Christine swore by the H°ds at once it was
* little better than a hemlock sour. I
apologized to him for having nothing
better to drink, explaining as best 1
could that the prohibitionists had ban
ished everything worth swallowing out
of the State by prohibitive laws. He
said: “That is pretty rough on you lib
erty-loving Americans, who boast of
having what you want when you want
it.” His repast over, I hitched my
chair close alongside of his and had him
give me a few dots on Limbo. Said
he; "Limbo (or Limbus) is the new
universal name, which displaces our
good old Greek name, Hades, which
Pluto gave to his subterranean tropical
residence. The same name is loosely
and variously called Hell. Halifax.
Tartarus. Sheol, Gehenna, the Sulphur
! Works, the Pit, the Infernal Regions,

After a pleasant visit of two weeks
with the family of Dr. and Mrs. II. R.

"Ah,” said I, “this gives me a new
idea of the Plutonian dominions. I had
thought that it was a kind of molten
sea of lead, with a gulf-stream of sul
phuric acid traversing its length in a
tortuous course.” The old man Beemed
to be much pleased that an idea had
seeped beneath my hair. Continuing,
he said: “No, no; nothing of the kind.
Locally speaking, I’m a forty-niner, an
old resident, and I assure you, on the
word of a guileless man, there is no
lake of fire where I’ve been, and we’ve
some pretty tough cases in our baili
wick, too The Tartarian bosses do not
find it necessary to roast their convicts
to make them perform. To give you
an idea of the occupations of our Lim-
bonians, it will only be necessary to
say they follow about the same class of
work as you people do. At present I’m
section boss on the Universal railroad
that spans the Plutonian realm. My
duties are somewhat strenuous, but
I’ve a good work crew who do not sol
dier on me There is old John Brown,
of Harper’s Ferry lame, who, aside
from a fondness for kissing nigger ba
bies, is a good track-hand. Gitteau,
the assassin of President Garfield, is
an industrious boy, but is always mut
tering something about being a ‘stal
wart of stalwart, Republicans.’ Whim
each of that Roman mob of cut-throats
who butchered Caesar, (Cassius, Cim-
ber. Cases, Cinna, Legarius and Tre-
bonius,) are as industrious as ants, I
find them a seditious lot, and the aeons
do not seem to abate their ambition.
Richard ill., poor old hunchback! is
water-fetcher for the gang. There are
numerous other sin-soaked celebrates
who are conductors, engineers, bag-
gage-masters, etc., on the road. Among
these are Belshazzar, Solomon, Alex
ander, Xerxes, Darius, Caesar, Hanni
bal, (and his pa, Hamilchar,) David,
Saul, Goliath, Genghis Khan, Henry
. III., Peter the Great, Charles XII.
of Sweden, Frederick the Great, Marl
borough, Uncle Toby, Cromwell, (and
his Charlie I.,) Napoleon, Wellington
and Gen. Sherman.” “Tap, tap, tap,”
on my door. “Who's there?” demanded
I, in the tones of a grizzly bear. “it
is I. my dear Captain -Senator Wilson
and his official entourage.” I hastily
adjusted the wings of Socrates and he
flew out through the window. I opened
the door and invited the Senator and
his official household in. They were
curious to know what the swishing of
wings meant as they were entering. I
succeeded in convincing the gentlemen
they had heard nothing unusual; that
what they took for the swiping of the
air as with wings were hallucinations
begotten of overwrought imaginations,
superinduced by taking too much ne
penthe. Socrates ere this was plowing
his way sheolward among the stars,
while the Senator sat reflectively roast
ing his shins at the stove.
—Our esteemed contemporary, the
Bremen Gateway, makes note of the
fact that our much-beloved fellow-citi
zen, “Mr. H. L. Rowe, of Carrollton,
expended the best part of Sunday with
the family of Mr. E. H. Bartlett.”
—Miss Bessie Thornton, who won a
scholarship in an Atlanta business col
lege, left Monday to begin her course
in that school.
—Mr. Ed C. Blalock, who, it will be
remembered, was badly injured by a
fall some weeks ago, has recovered
sufficiently to be out of bed, and makes
an occasional visit to town. We trust
the young man will soon regain his
wonted health.
—Rev. H. S. Rees and wife, of Tu
rin, attended the funeral of their little
grandson, Rees Adamson, Saturday
week ago, I extend condolence to the
bereaved parents. Col. Ralph Adamson
and his estimable wife.
—The toad of which we told you last
week got caught in the recent bfizzard.
He now has chilblains on his heels and
a cold in his head. The roses are for
getting to bloom, and the festive plum
bloom gives poor promise of colicky
products next summer.
—Col. Beverly B. Thomasson. a
bright young lawyer of this city, vis
ited Rome Monday. There are many
motives that might have impelled his
visit to Rome, seven-hilly; but if
you'll keep what I tell you in strict
confidence you shall know why he went.
It’s agreed. His girl sent him a wire
less message. It’s import was not
clearly understood, so he went up to
have her de iver the message verbally.
—The school children of Carroll coun
ty are doing noble work towards rais
ing funds for the Confederate monu
ment.
—The many friends of Mr. Claude E.
Smith, who is known from Tybee Light
to the Blue Ridge’s loftiest peak, from
Maine to Mexico, from the Lakes to
the Gulf, will be glad to know that he
has been appointed postmaster at this
place :o succeed his mother, who has
resigned. Mr. Smith’s appointment
meets with general approval here.
—The City Council has set the first
day of March as the time for holding
an election on the question of issuing
bonds for the purpose of buying the
Carrollton Electric Light Co.’s proper
ty. As the manifesto has just been is
sued, there have been but few expres
sions from the people as to whether or
not they desire to acquire the property
by a bond issue. Will advise you after
the first of March who owns the light
plant
— Judge Millican, our silvery-tongued
Ordinary, has also a smooth way of
putting his thoughts on paper. His
open letter to the people of Carroll
county relative to the burning question :
"Will the people of Carroll build a fit
ting monument to their Confederate
soldiers?” is a masterly effort. Judge
Millican believes in doing things right
now. He has put himself at the head
of the Confederate monument move-
mnet, and if all signs do not fail the
monument will be built at an early day.
—Mr. Humber Cheney, to whose
wonderful inventive genius we advert
ed two or three months ago, we regret
to announce is slightly off his feed.
—There was nothing unusual about
his advent into this trouble-hatching
world on the morning of the 28th ulti
mo. His natal hour was not hailed
with salvos of artillery; no gay bunt
ing bedecked our public buildings in
glad acclaim of his coming; but Col.
and Mrs. Emmett Smith, his pa and
ma, assure him that his presence is en
tirely welcome, and there’ll be- no
charge put in for his feed.
—Mr. Harry Kingsberry, the son of
our excellent friend, Hon. Paskill
Kingsberry, spent the week in Annis
ton, Ala.
—Hon. J. M. Burns, our excellent
mayor, than whom not a more jolly
citizen ambulateth adown the pike of
Time, delightfully entertained a few
choice souls Friday evening. Of the
number were Messrs. J. T. Boatright,
Dr. J. D. Hamrick, J. H. Robinson.
Ben Burns and J. Z. Beddingfield. The
’possums making the fatty part of tie
menu were^ caught and stall-fed in
Heard county. The hog’s-feet and
“chitlins” were grown on the mayor’s
own ranch. The coffee was a Javan
product. At guess, hit or miss, would
say the other potations bore Chattanoc-
gan earmarks.
-Col. R. D. Jackson has gray mat
ter beneath his, hair like the antedelu-
vian ark-builder, Noah. Something ad
monished him to go South and flee the
cold. He left for St. Petersburg, Fla.,
before the cold spell, accompanied by
his wife, son and sister-in-law, Miss
Leila Adamson.
-Lon Bonner, of the United States
Marine Corps, passed through the city
Thursday en route for his home in
Roopville. He has been wearing Un
cle Sam’s collar for the past eighteen
months. He did not accompany the
grand squadron of Admiral Evans on
its world-girdling tour.
-The Carrollton Library Association
for the past few months has been out
of commission, though they have a
couple of hundred good dollars lying
rusting in their treasury. We are
pleased to note that the association is
taking steps to resume operations and
new members are sought. If it is the
purpose and policy of the association
to expend the money on hand for new
books, there is no reason why many ad
ditions should not be made to the mem
bership. Dues are $2 per annum, paya
ble quarterly. We confidently expect
an increased membership.
It’s enough to make a woman frown
if her husband smiles too often.
LEFT ON HER 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
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 is
so hard for children to take.
“ 'Just the thing,’ said I, ‘for my little
daughter,’ and 1 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.”
Vinol is sold in Newnan by HOLT & CATES

“ Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound ? ”
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from thesg grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—“ When 1 first began taking Lydia E. Pink-
liam’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
“For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
“My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
“I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They won’t
regret it, for it will surely cure you.” — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
819 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

The Best Fertilizers for Corn
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly in
creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
will greatly “increase your yield per acre” of corn or any other crop.
In some cases remarkable results have been obtained.
Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes: “Words
cannot express the value of your fertilizer, it is really so far ahead
of other companies’ goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other
brands, were they given free and put in the field. I can prove what
I say to be a fact. I made a test on five acres. I used on one half
the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company’s fertil
izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time.
I kept a correct account of the amount of money I got off each half
and I got SjOJ more from the land on -which / used Virginia Carolina
Fertilizer than I did off the other half. I got four times as much
corn from the land on whilh I used your fertilizer.”

Company for a free copy of the new 1009 Farmers’ Year-Book or
