When the hftrp to fairy finRera
Lightly yields it* gentle sway,
Soft the melody that, lingers
Woos my willing soul away.
Visions come of days departed,
Voices sound that once were stilled;
Oh, the tear-drops that have started
Ah the strings their music thrilled,
Echoing from the olden time
Mem’ries love has made sublime.
There’s a cot that in the valley
In my childhood sheltered me;
Where the roses used to rally.
Where the song-birds carolled free.
Lightly flung th<* fairy fountain
Rainbow tints into the air,
While the brooklet from the mountain
Dashed its jewelled brightness there,
Careless as the diamond spray
Fled my youthful hours away.
There the buttercups and daisies
Brightened nil the flowery lea;
Other blooms may claim my praises,

The best. speech made in the six
tieth Congress for bettering the pros
pects of cotton-producers the South
ern fanners was that made hy Hon.
W. U. Adamson, of the Fourth district.
In the course of his speech he road a
resolution adopted by the Farmers’
Union of Carroll county, in which they
memorialize Congress to abolish all
cotton exchanges. Judge Adamson
made a line argument on behalf of the
resolution. He made it plain that these
exchanges serve to destroy the best ef
forts of tho Southern farmers. Their
iniquitous operation is a mine of
wealtli to its operators, and a delusion
and a snare which robs the farmer of
a chance to make a living, and of his

- With fame comes responsibility—
which is none of your humming-bird
brand. Now, here it is: I’m invited
to go gunning with T. Roosevelt, E. P.
I put the “E. P.” because that stren

hard-knot that lie is president of the
African jungles when we arrive among
the cocoanut-headed simians of the
Dark Continent. If you'll take time to
figure it, E. P. means ex-President. 1

Intend to do, for state reasons,) he’d

mine was another mission. Then I was
driving a bread wagon for the British
army, and made it known among the
Tommie Atkins gang that I’d lost no
lions, tigers, leopards, elephants, or
other wild animals, and that I wasn’t
hunting those that were running at
large, i’ve had some little experience
with draught and caravan elephants.
For some months I followed that hare
brained soldier, Chinese Gordon, in his
first expedition to the Soudan to lick
the Mahdi and his fanatical followers.
On this expedition I was mahoot—a
kind of rider or driver of an elephant.
On the back of Alababa, my elephant,
was a number of chests of small arms
ammunition stored in an immense pack-
saddle. As you know, the mahoot
rides in front of the pack-saddle,
astraddle of the elephant’s neck. The
steering-gear is a prod which you fling
into the old pachryderm’s hide, to the
right or left, as you want him to go.
As to the qualities of a lion, tiger, hy
ena, or other beasts of prey, I’ve had
no working acquaintance with them.
I’ve never had any of them hitched to

The esthetic imagination of the
junior editor of the Carroll Free Press
reduces his vision-haunted idea of well-
ordered things to the following bit of
excellent advice, and we shall enter a
primary class at our grand institutions
of learning, that we may become a
beneficiary of the good things that
will be inaugurated because of this sal
utary advice: "The making of beauti
ful school-houses and yards and the
decoration of school-rooms, has ils ef
fect upon the children. It is now con
ceded that beauty pays wherever it
may be procured. It is a great force
in the advance of civilization."

—Miss Sue Henry, of Rome, and
bird’s cabin, on the cypress knoll. It
is still a wonder to me how easily I
skinned up the tree and got old bruin
by the ears and brought him down;
land how alfectionate he became, and
wanted to hug me; and how, at last,
to dissuade him from his warm enthu
siasm for squeezing me, was forced to
kick his slats from their vertebral
moorings. Well, them was bulls’ times;
work them tandem grows less as I bet
ter understand their weakness for a jui
cy morsel of human steak, I regret very
much my inal ility to attend you on this
lark. Before giving you the parting
hand, permit me to say it is of prime
importance to the well-being of this
republic that you keep on the outside
of the lions and tigers. Though your
‘big stick’ has knocked out some of the
biggest game around Washington, I ad
monish you not'to undertake to fondle
an untutored elephant with it, lest she
drive you into the ground with her pile-
driver. Be careful. As a souvenir of
my sojourn in the Soudan I’ve a sleep
ing case which is the kitten’s-finger
for hunters in the wilds and jungles of
Africa. It is simple but efficacious.
It’s about half the size of a Whitehead
torpedo, without its infernal machin
ery. It’s a cylindrical bed-room on
wheels, and bivalvular in construction.
In short, it is a cylinder in two sections,
divided longitudinally and held with
hinges and fastened with a spring
lock which is operated from the inside
only. I found a zebra the best animal
to pull it. At night the zebra too must
be taken out of the mouths of raven
ing wild beasts. To accomplish this
have a small steel derrick and about
two yards of sailcloth. Cut holes in it
to lit the four legs of the striped mule.
Tie ropes to each corner of the cloth ;

and bring your gun and dogs. If you
like them, we’ll have a wild nigger
on toast at least twice a week, to say
nothing of elephant steak and lion
chops at each meal when we arrive in
Africa. I’ve promised my sissy fel
lows, who’ll accompany me to original
Niggerdom, a Bharios chicken-pie ev
ery day. (When they’ve tried it a time
or two they won’t want any more.)
Excuse brevity, as I am warming some
water to thaw the oyster beds in the
bay. They haven’t been able to bite
since the last blizzard, and for this
reason we have been short on bivalves.
"Au revoir, Teddy."
With all haste I sept him this reply:
"Carrollton, Ga.. March 19, 1909.

I that you still snuggle me in memory

Lameness
in Horses
Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse is not allowed to go lame. Keep Sloan's
I imment- on hand and apply at the first signs of stiffness.
It's wonderfully penetrating—goes right to the spot—relieves
the soreness — limbers up the joints and makes the muscles
clastic and pliant.
Sloan’s Liniment
will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swol
len joints, and is a sure and speedy remedy for fistula, sweeney,
founder and thrush. Frice, 50c. and fii.oo.

him under the derrick, hook the tackle-
block into the bunch of ropes, take a
few turns at the windlass, and you
have him hoisted out of reach of every
wild animal except the elephant or the
giraffe, and they don’t lunch on zebras.
After you’ve put the zebra to bed and
said your prayers, you may then crawl
into the mouldstouch the lid and it
falls—bang, snap!—and you’re out of
harm’s way. Don’t forget to take your
gun to bed with you, for a couple of
nice lunches like yourself and the ze
bra will attract the passing menagerie.
A lion may come to the head of your
bed and a tiger to the foot—one roars
and the other growls, while a nimble
footed leopard hops on top of your
chamber. Here’s where your gun comes
in handy. All well-ordered sleeping
cases have the larder on the inside,
and port-holes at the head, foot and in
the middle of your nocturnal residence.
To make sure of putting those fero
cious marauders out of the running,
you reach out and get a section of bo
logna sausage, cut off' a piece and ram
it into the hole where the tiger is
marking time. He smells and begins
to corkscrew it out with his tongue.
You fire, and subsoil bis body from his
teeth to the tip of his tail with your
steel-nibbed bullet. In the same man
ner you may disDose of all comers.
You’ll observe that this plan keeps you
in touch with big game all the time,
and I’m sure will prove eminently sat
isfactory to one so strenuously inclined
as yourself. 1 trust, Theodore, you’ll
emerge from your two years of Afri
can sequestration with a full, ripe crop
of political schemes that will sustain
you in the limelight of national big
wigs. Yours,
" l he Grenadier.’’

JACK POWELL
Who is always at home, 32 Spring Street ,
Has This to Say:
Before you buy a Wagon, Buggy, Carriage, Surrey, or anything
in the vehicle or harness line, give me chance at you. You will not be
asked to buy on reputation alone. Point by point, I will show you
wherein my well established lines excel. You do not want to buy a ve-
hide every season. You want to be sure of your investment, then
come where "all coons don’t look alike." Each vehicle here has a dis
tinctiveness and an individuality of its own, and is sold upon its own
merits. The "cheap Western johns" are sold as "cheap Johns.
The old, well-established and reliable Southern makes are sold on
their real worth, and they compel admiration—first, because they
look so good; and, second, because they wear so well and, last so
long. That’s the kind Jack Powell sells. He guarantees that there
are no better Buggies or Wagons in the whole world. They are
RIGHT in every detail. All lumber used in their manufacture is air
se soned, and all .iron and steel carefuily Inspected and tested.
I have a rubber tiring machine, and rubber-tire my own buggies.
I use the Kelly Springfield tire—a tire that has no “past" to live down.
It is the most numerously demanded rubber tire because people re
member—not because they forget.
Come in and let me show you what a really good Buggy and Wag
on is. Each and every vehicle sold MUST BE AS REPRESENTED, or
your money will be refunded.
