IN YOUR
GARDEN
ig There is no reason why you ?
shouldn’t have a pood garden, I
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 soed it does not
necessarily mean old soed.
They may he perfectly flesh,
hut poor stock—just us a scrub
and a Jersey are both cows.
We sell GOOD SEED. We
buy our supplies in bulk direct
from D. 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, and the best that
money will buy. The most
successful gardeners in New
nan are among our customers.

THE ALARM CLOCK.
Wlion you’re sleeping in the morning.
Sleeping soundly, sleeping deep;
When the daylight comes a-croeping
With its stealthy sort o’ereep;
When sweet dreams of peace and comfort
In this morning snooze abound.
Aren’t you mad when your alarm clock
With a buzz starts ranting ’round?
Don't you feci like throwing spasms
When that clock begins to go?
Don’t you hand it out some cuss words
Just to sort o’ ease your woe?
How you scowl and how you grumble!
Don't you wish you had a gun?
Don’t you swear that it’s the biggest
I'est beneath the shining sun?
That's exactly how it strikes me
When that clock begins to ring,
And I wish that I could get hold
Of tiie man who made the thing.
How I’d kick him! how I’d choke him!
How I’d knock him left and right!
That’s the way I fed—but, still, I
Wind the darn thing up each night.
