If it’s the same to you, suppose you quit wasting the good rain on our already water-soaked diggins. Take a few weeks’ rest and hard us a shower along this spring when the strawber ries are hollering for water. It would also be a very gracious thing to do when the starving corn and cotton crops are “all down and ou ,” to vivi fy them with your lawn-sprinkler. Re good, and let us have it as we need it.

A statistician, looking ahead for a homestead for his grandchildren, asks: “When will the earth he full?” It’s the humble opinion of this scribe that unless there is something done to stay the tidal wave of prohibition, she’ll never he "full” again. Mr. and Mrs. (loo. Head spent Sunday and Monday in Atlanta visiting Mrs. Head’s father, Hon. Jos. A. Ay- cock, who for some weeks has been an inmate of St.. Joseph’s Infirmary. We are pleased to learn that his health is impioving. -The social atmosphere of Heflin, Ala., is being brightened by the pres ence of Miss Pauline Harris, who is visiting that charming village for a couple of weeks, —The many friends and relatives of Mr. Appleton Mandeville will he pleased to hear of his safe return from our grand naval demonstration of cir- cumavigating the earth. It is not so great a feat nowadays to circle the globe as it was in the time of Capt. Cook, one of the early navigators who accomplished this feat; hut the men and officers who conducted Uncle Sam’s mammoth naval pageant around the earth are the first to accompany a fleet of warships upon such an expedition. Vice moil, Onclc Sum, cl non guerriern de mere. • Miss Italy Sirnonton, whose repu tation as a librarian extends far be yond the limits of her native town, is called upon by the literati of Avondale, Ala., whither she goes to catalogue its library. -For some months I’ve been trying to do the Methuselah stunt—that is, wearing a flowing-white heard and looking as no-account as Kip Van Win kle after his forty years’ sleep. I suc ceeded beyond my most sanguine ex pectations. The children called me grandpa gra.vheard and Santa Claus, and the ladies (whose good opinion goes a day's journey with me) failed to admire my manly form and classic brow as of yore. Feeling that 1 needed a Delilah (in breeches) to do the Sam son act on me, 1 went to Geo. Gray’s wool-clipping emporium to have him delimit my wilderness of hirsute adorn ment. But, lo' i found George clad in a Mother Hubbard robe, his sorrel- crested idea-pot covered with a broad straw-lid, placing little chicks on their feet as the warm incubator pitched them out of the eggshells. It was hatching day at the incubator, and as I’ve said, i found George at the hat, and the sweat running off at his heels, for the incubator was working full time, and the gearing greased. I was much surprised to find that he had amalgamated his business by combin ing it with a chicken kindergarten. I asked him how he found the combina tion to work. “Bully!" said he. “The ’possums and minks and other varmints made orphans of my chickens by eating their mammas; so I concluded to buy me a wool hen and a lamp and do busi ness at my shop. See these fluffy little fellows? There’s a hundred of ’em, brand new from the shells. Three weeks ago you could have made batter- ’’ “Have any trou- the incubator?” I least,” he replied; “the’possums did catch my first one. Since then 1 keep her in the coal-bin and have no trouble.” “How about a customer who comes and wants a shave while you are leading your brigade against the grasshoppers?” I asked. "Oh, that’s easy,” said George; “you never saw a man yet who wouldn’t fol low a gang of these orphans, if you’d explain to him you were giving them lessons in hug-chasing and muscle-mak ing. They’ll follow you; and it won’t he long before they are leading the in fants.” He has 6119 chicks, from a minute to six weeks old. I-Iis first care is to teach them that life’s worth the living, and they all become ambitious to adorn the early spring frying-pan. Jack Travis, our excellent County School Superintendent, makes it known through the columns of our local papers that he wants fifty boys to join the Carroll County Corn Club, the crop to consist of a half-acre, seed and la bor furnished. All the enlisted man is | expected to do is to direct the work and receive a premium for the best ten tears. That suits me. I’m a recruit from right now. —Messrs. Glenn Carter and E. R. Hyde, Coweta students of the A. & M. j School, are visiting hornefolks this week. To any ambitious young Carrollton- j ian who is seeking to make a matri- | monial allowance in time to become a | June bridegroom, who will, first shot I out of the box and without consulting I a dictionary, give a correct definition of the word “maverick,” shall have one of those cute lace baby caps that’s being offered at one of our celebrated baby haberdasheries, at my expense. Lewis Powell, whom I formerly knew as a husky boiler-maker in New- nan the Sundow of the establishment, who could bend railroad spikes like hair-pins with his fingers; who could | telescope a boiler rivet at one blow with his little hammer, and do other prodigies has relinquished this sport and gone to Cuba to help the natives raise cane and tomato cans. Write us again, boy, and tell what those lands are worth per acre. —She’s a beautiful old damsel—orna mental and useful, too. She’s now in the XLlVih year of her strenouus ca reer. She’s motherly, fatherly, sister ly and brotherly. Her alabaster brow has an occasional bath of Attic salt. She carols in the inviolable precincts of her boudoir the teachings of Jefferson, and the late lamented Bill Atkinson. She brings us a weekly message, and bids us bo of good cheer. She’s a vade mecum -which, given a liberal interpre tation, sigifieth that she’s Webster’s Blue-Back Speller, Grier's Almanack, the Georgia Code, and the holy Bible. Read the head-lines of this hebdomadal and you have the good old damsel be fore you. Mr. J. M. Hughens and family wore called to the country Tuesday to attend the funeral services of the elder Mr. Hughens. Mrs. J. H. Chandler, of Newnan, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. A. ] Thornton. —Uur venerable fellow-citizen, Mr. J. C, Shackleford, who has been eon- ■ fined for some weeks to his bed, is j again able to be up and about. —They now have darkness annihila- tors of their own—the A. & M. folks, don’tcher know. They have installed an electric light plant, which is giving eminent satisfaction. In honor of the event Prof. Melson, his corps of teach ers arid pupils organized a jubilating walk-around, which was pushed into the twilight hours. They sang long- meter hosannas to the donors, Messrs. C. H. Stewart and L. C. Mandeville. —We are pleased to note that Miss Nellie, the charming little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ormand Haile, who has been confined to her bed, is now conva lescent. —Mr. Jas. Fitts, who has been en gaged as a cotton buyer at Meridian, Miss., during the season, has returned to Carrollton, where he will remain until the Mississippi hayseed and the Mexican boll-weevil produce another cotton crop. Return, Jeems, to the land your forbears took from the dusky autochthon, and let your joys be known. —The Ladies’ Domino Club was en tertained by Mrs. W. M. Meadow's Fri day afternoon. —Our excellent Baptist minister, Rev. Geo. D. Harris, left Tuesday for Piedmont Springs, where he will re main a week or ten days. —Considering the length of time the earth has been doing business, she is a pretty well-behaved old dame. It is true men have their little differences, and go to war and butcher each other after a most barbarous fashion, burn cities, and scarify her face w'ith ugly entrenchments. These are the ephem eral acts of man, which smiling nature smooths over in a few brief years. In fact, she seems to make sport of the vandalism of the lords of creation. But well-behaved as she at most times is, she occasionally creates a rough house when she comes cavorting over the hills and valleys with a cyclone curl hanging from her darkling brow, and making mankind scoot for the cyclone pit, or he is caught in its fierce gyrato ry folds and carried like an autumn leaf with the seething debris. If he escapes with whole bones he is inspired with greater respect for her ability to shake the filling out of anything above ground. This about leads me to a point where I am prompted to ask what would you do at 2 a. m. if a cyclon were to come and find you in bed? It always sends its outriders—vanguard, if you prefer*—which admonishes you that the “big bull dog” is coming. You open your eyes, to be greeted by blind ing flashes of sheet lightning, and the wind and rain are scuffling with each other to capsize your wits. The aver age mortal becomes panic-stricken at the show-down, while a few think of the Omnipotent hand and offer a hasty "Lord, make us truly humble and thankful for what we are about to re ceive.” One caught me as above de scribed a few nights ago. It rushed upon my domicile and assaulted it "hammer and tongs.” One can do a week’s thinking in a moment of anni hilating distress. My first thought was to organize a family prayer-meet ing, but it occurred to me that my wife and children were in another shire. Then 1 thought of the old Roman who pulled his mantle over himself and with dignity died. By this time the house was swaying to and fro, and the joints creaking in a very threatening man ner. Having no mantle, I concluded that I would not make a very dignified looking corpse with my pajamas pulled over my head ; so I made up my mind to ride a rafter or anything that came flying my way. I have invested a few dollars in cyclone insurance, and have bored a neat artesian cyclone burrow for the ensconcement of myself and others who do not believe “what is to be will be” if you do the proper amount of dodging. —One of the delightful occasions of the week was the entertainment given by Miss Effie Johnson to the Domino Club Tuesday afternoon. The score- cards were ornamented with hand- painted voilets, done in the most artis tic manner. After the game an ice course was served. Miss Annie Mae Perdue will entertain the club next week. —Mrs. Homer Hannah entertained the Young Matrons’ Club Tuesday af ternoon, at the home of Mrs. B. F. Boykin. Delightful fruit, salads, iced tea and other comitant delicacies were served. —Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Roop weie guests of Roopville relatives Sunday. On their homing journey they were ac- eomnanied by Mr. and Mrs. Will Veal. For lack of acquaintance with flying sheets of paper the Veal mule ran away and knocked a fire plug to an an gle of 45 degrees. The damage consists of a shattered buggy and a skinned mule. We are pleased to note that neither Mr. Veal nor his estimable wife was hurt. —Two State University students of this place, Will Sirnonton and Sam Brock, were guests of hornefolks Sat urday and Sunday. —Mrs. A. R. Snead entertained the Willing Workers Tuesday afternoon. The event was pleasant and harmo nious. A business meeting as well as a ladies’ prayer meeting was held, with many manifestations ot zeal for the Master’s cause. Tomato sand wiches, iced tea, olives, pickles, crack ers and candied figs comprised the de lightful collation. f tL p flL 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 hicle 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, w'ell-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 isoned, and all iron and steel carefuily Inspected and tested. I have a rubber tiring machine, and rubber-tire my own buggies, 1 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. ONLY EXCLUSIVE BUGGY AND WAGON REPOSITORY IN NEWNAN.

MANDEVILLE MILLS H. O. Lovvorn, Sec. & Treas. wmmssm — Mr. Claude A. Upshaw, the origi nal Boanerges of the mountain district, but more recently a sojourner at Bre men, was “scastilofisticating through the equanimity of our forests” Sun day. He assures our peace-loving town he meant no harm by it. In fact, I’m sure he did not, if my little testimonial will add anything towards placating the public by way of adding an extenuating remark in his behalf.
