Out Carrollton Correspondent - -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! at the School Auditorium for the bene- P f ,he worka - ,1ila granted me tfi of the Monument Association.

Don’t fail to attend;— you’ll see throwing that will remind you of the left-handed Bonjamites, who could throw a stone to a hair’s breadth, l’rof. Martin is native talent, and deserves your patronage—the cause he represents, your patriotic support. The excellent pastor of our Presby- terian ehurc.h. Rev. W. E. Dozier, preached at Temple Sunday forenoon and evening, to large and appreciative 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 ti. Wilson, for the past two weeks. 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, and the like. We borrow the name, I’Limbo’ from the Catholics, which, ac- | cording to their creed, is a kind of in definite border region in the intermedi ate state, nearer hell or heaven, ac- Fitts.jjof this city.

See here, editor, the next time you heave into this port look me up; I’ve a gallon ceramic full of nepenthe that hasn’t had the cobwebs brushed off it in four years. After a pleasant visit of two weeks with the family of Dr. and Mrs. II. R. Robinson, Miss Annie Ruth Sewell re turned Thursday to Atlanta. Mr. Andrew Martin, of Atlanta, the postal boomerang magician, was the guest of his father, Capt. .1. B. Martin, Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

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.

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.

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 CO..

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.” Write today to nearest office of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company for a free copy of the new 1009 Farmers’ Year-Book or Almanac, full of the most valuable and unprejudiced information for planters and farmers; or ask your fertilizer dealer fora copy.
