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, • half so dear to me.

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 cotton should Miss Mae Vance, of Cedartown, were quests this week of Mrs. Geo. Head. - 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 uous individual might take it into his 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 know the old man pretty well, and should I conclude to go, (which 1 do not Intend to do, for state reasons,) he’d insist on giving me hack talk or put me on the Ananias list—a characteriza tion which my reputation for truthful ness will not stand for. He is not a selfish man nor an egotist. If he had 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 inclination to but one drink in his canteen, and it was ninety miles across the desert to j my chariot; and as my the next spring, he’d tell you: "Help j yourself; your tongue looks like it ; had been barbecued; as for myself, I’ve taken a hunch from the camels.’’ And he’d make you drink to prove the quality of his own leathern viscera.

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 Marie Spence, a student of the Girls' Normal and Industrial Col lege at Milledgeville, is at home attend ing her mother, who is seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Griflin entertained as guests recently Mr. and Mr. Lee Grif fin, of Dallas. —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.

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. "To His ex-Exeellency, T. Roose velt. Oyster Bay, Bay Stale—My Dear Varmint Annihilator : (I thus charac terize you, because 1 know you’d rath er have this appellation than he called by any of the highfalutin names that sour nibs, Eddie of England, has fast ened around his slipshodden reputa tion.) Yours of Monday, 15th inst., to hand. 1 was much gratified to know I that you still snuggle me in memory idi-ar, and that you planned to have me chaperon you among the savage wild beasts of Darkest Africa. It flatters me no little to think that a person of your game-killing experience would re member mid seek the services of one j whose hunting experience is so limited I as mine. I’ve had a number of chats 1 with Stanley, Livingston, and other j explorers and lion hunters, besides passing a half-dozen years in the Sou dan and the Zambesi country.

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.

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.
