NEWNAN, FRIDAY, OCT. 8.
the unsuccessful.
Ho toiled and hustled from morning till niirht.
Hut somehow ho couldn’t succeed;
|{c riBod his best offortH and tried with his might,
Yet somehow ho couldn't succeed.
Ifc bore up with fortitude under the strain.
Whenever ho failed he tried over again,
They never could find a Haw or a atain-
But somehow ho couldn’t succeed.
He bent to his task in the world with a will,
But somehow he couldn’t succo*d;
The sweets that others covet to him were but nil,
But Bomchow he couldn’t succeed.
Ho plodded along in tho very same way,
Day in and day out. with but little to say;
He bent, to his labors, gave little to play,
But somehow he couldn’t succeed.
He was one, only one, from the millions hurled,
Who somehow never succeed:
lie traveled hiti way through a cold dreary world,
And never, could never succeed,
lie used his best efforts in playing his part.
The burden he carried oft made the tears start..
And yet thro’ it all a song welled from his heart—
This man who could never succeed.

“Believe mo, I speak as my understanding in
structs rnc, and ns mine honesty puts it to utter
ance.” —l Shakespeare,
— 1 nover see the name of Moon that
I’m not reminded of the supernatural
powers attributed to Gen. Joshua, who
commanded the hosts of the Lord at
the skirmish in the valley of Ajelon. It
is said the Guneral attacked the enemy
about 2 a. m., whon thu harvest moon
was full, as was likewise the enemy.
As he wanted to cut them out to a thin
stand by the moonshine, and as the
moon was about to disappear behind the
mountains, he bade her stand still un
til he could finish the Lord’s work
slaughtering tho heathen. She stood
still, and “tho widows of Ahur were
fraud in their wails.’’ Now, the ques
tion is: Suppose Col. E. T. Moon, the
census supervisor, should fail to give
■Carrollton b,00() souls in his census
count, who is going to make him stand
atill until wo get a recount? Beware,
Colonel; there’s a Joshua up here who
Tarries a newly-ground ruzor for any
Moon that fails to give us what we
want.
— Mrs. West, the estimable consort of
Hon. Goo. W. West, died in Atlanta on
the Is* inst., where she had gone for
treatment. The remains were interred
in the new cemetery at this place. The
floral offerings were numerous, and the
funeral rites were attended by a large
1 concourse of sorrowing friends. Mrs.
West a woman of rare intellectual
attainments, endued with a genial dis
position, and her untimely demise is
a sad blow to our city. The Herald and
Advertiser extends sympathy to the
bereaved family.
What’s the difference between a
pocketknifo and a penknife? If you
know, tell us. In the good old days
when “the gray goose quill” did ser
vice as a stylus, it was necessary to
have a penknife; but in this utilita
rian, iron age. tho quill pen has been
relegated to the shadows of a forgot
ten past. So, like many other misno
mers, the word “penknife” has outlived
its day and generation. It is well. It is
an indicator on the valve-stem of old
Tempos Fugit, and marks the progress
<of the XXth century, while at the
same lime it sadly alludes to the ever-
shifting sands of evolution “Other
men, other times,” who now write with
machinery.
President Taft did not honor him
self by coming to the A. & M. Fair.
He Is a good, fat old man, and poses
»s one of the world’s Christian rulers.
He has been invited to Mexico by the
President of the Greasers, with tho
promise that he shall have all that is
coming to his serene highness. He
wired President Diaz the following:
“Dear Dizy- I’m coining; pull off se
ries of bullfights for the benefit of my
official entourage when we show up;
have the girls appear in their best
frocks. Taft.”
—It seems to mo that the editor who
would kick on the small sum of $150,-
(MX) or $200,000 that is being spent by
President Taft on his present junketing
itinerary has hut a small conception of
what a hundred millions of Republicans
owe their ruler. It won’t amount to a
half-rent each to the tax payers, and
none of us are so unpatriotic that we
would not give a dime to see the great
est aggregation on earth of brain and
brawn. Let the spectacular parade
proceed.
—As an inventive genius Tom Cole
man can give the wizard of Melno Park
cards and a drink and still pace ahead.
He is going to show the visitors to the
A. & M. Fair how to make a clock
mark time without running-gear. See
it, and if you don’t like the exhibit
shut your eyes and forget it.
—Even the sand crabs, fiddlers, and
other crustaceans, are beginning to
howl about the iniquities of the new
registration law. So much for reform.
The only apprehension I have about
the whole business is that when the
people have had a taste of this reform
disfranchisement they’ll do something
rash. Like as not they’ll lynch some
of the reform leaders who nailed the
registration plank onto the Macon plat
form. Revolutions never go back
wards, but reforms are occasionally
knocked endwise into nonentity. Where
is the reform Governor? Ask the peo
ple.
—Bob Almond, one of Carrollton’s
most popular Bonifaces, has made his
wad, and in consequence has retired to
his palatial home on Easy street, leav
ing the Southland Hotel in charge of
Mr. W. P. Lewis, a former resident of
Temple. It was thought when Bob quit
the hotel busiiness the traveling pub
lic would starve. Far from it. The
drummer who feeds at Lewis’ table is
remarkable for his sleek, well-fed ap
pearance. If asked, he’ll tell you that
Lewis keeps one of the best hotels in
Georgia. Lewis leaves a lasting im
pression on the stomach of commercial
gourmets. He who affects an epicu
rean taste will never pass Lewis’ sa
vory dishes.
—Injun summer am hero at last.,
’Possum and 'talers on yo’ plate;
Do old hoodown is in full blast;
Do coons iz fixin’ fer to skate.
— Byron said gin was the source of
his poetic inspiration. Well, it will be
a bad day for lid poets who have neith
er tho promptings of the divine afflatus
or the subtle influences of gin. Provi
dence denies us the one and tho prohi
bitionists the other. They seek .to
shunt us from Charybdis, and thereby
cast us upon Scylln.
—The latest candidate for public fa
vor is the Gaiety Rollerway—on South
Rome street. The spacious floor
makes it possible for a half-hundred
skaters to glide along ut one time. The
rnllorway is brand new in every partic-
lar. It is situated in a spacious new
brick building, the appointments are
all new, and the sport is hut recently
introduced. Its promoters, Messrs.
Hudgins. Blalock and Hunter, deserve
much credit for its artistic style and
elegant mangemeut. It fills a long-felt
want for the supple handlers of youth
ful feet.
—A contemporary says: “The auto-
omile, it seems is not an unmixed evil
to the farmers. We learn that 350,000
bales of cotton are used annually in
their construction, and that amount
means no little to him.” Yes, that’s
all right about the 350,000 Pales being
used in making these horse and mule
scare-crows. When we come to draw
the balance you’ll find they’ve made
more than 400,000 horses and mules
runaway per annum, doing not less
than $0.35 damage in each case. Mul
tiply this $9.35 by your 400,000 runa
ways and it will pile up a mountain of
cost that will make your head swim.
We don’t wish to sav anything about
the cemeteries they have started, for
we know they’ve come to stay, and we
| may as well prostrate our bodies for
the passage of the juggernaut.
—Does a spider spin a thread or a
cob? If he spins a cob, the best lexi
cographers are silent on the subject; yet
an excellent friend of mine took advan
tage of my absence and made me say
he hitched his cob to a nail, (meaning
the fruit of the spider’s loom.) I
wanted to give the spider credit for
his work and said: “He hitched his
‘cable’ to a nail”—meaning the spider’s
thread.
— Hon, H. W. Long has returned
from Cordova and Jasper, Ala. His
Honor is like the Grecian king who
rode the ox-headed horse, Bucephalus,
in making the conquest of the world.
After licking everything he could lay
hands upon he cried for more. His
honor won out at home, and went to
Jasper to organize a campaign for
sheriff for a relative. Knowing his
winning ways, the opposition said to
him as did Col. Crockett’s coon:
“Don’t shoot: I’ll come down ” So
the coast is clear and the kinsman has
a walkover.
—A contemporary says, speaking of
a sow: “She is one year and eleven
months old, and has fallowed three lit
ters of pigs, thirty-one in number,
within a period of ten months.” The
brother has us guessing. What he
means by saying the sow “fallowed,”
passes our understanding. “Farrowed
thiiee litters,” etc., would have been
au fait from a lexocographical view
point. Pardonez tnoi, Monsieur!
—Dr. W. W. Roop, an eminent Bap
tist divine of this city, visited Bowdon
Monday and Tuesday.

and builder, bis returned from Nash

— Hon. L. C. Mandeville has again
spread his tents in (JlilFton Park,
where he dispenses all the good things
that emanate from a well-regulated
cuisine. It was my pleasure to dine
with him Sunday. The camp was re
splendent with bunting, and a charm
ing company graced the festal board.
Among others were Rev. W. E. Dozier,
Messrs. Ellis Smith, Eugene Long,
John O. Newell and Mrs. Newell, Ap
pleton Mandeville, Wm. Simonton and
Cleghorn Meadows. Miss Eugenia,
the charming daughter of mine host,
did the honors of the occasion, which
was made most enjoyable by the spirit
of bonhomie which prevailed.
—Carrollton will wear her gala day
habiliments this week. Both public and
private residences will be garnished
in bunting. All are expected to “put
the big pot in the little one,” and from
present indications will succeed in do
ing so.
Mr. and Mrs. A. P. McPherson, of
Bremen, were in the city Friday and
Saturday.
-Rev. VV. E. Dozier was in attend
ance on the sessions of the Atlanta
V. sbytery the past week.
—Gol. John O. Newell has one of the
eomeliest homes in the city. The resi
dence has just been completed, and Col.
and Mrs. Newell have moved into it.
We expert soon to hear of a house
warming party that will cause the na
tives to rise and take note.

Talladega, Ala., and Miss Allie Juhan,

—We regret exceedingly to announce
that Mr. Edward Cheney, that genial,
courtly gentleman, whose cordial greet
ing causes a ripple of joy to caper over
our features, has accepted a position
with the Louisville and Nashville rail
road at Chattanooga. His family left
Monday to join him in his new home.
—Carrollton lias a clever acquisition
in the persons of Citizen Allen Upshaw
and his charming wife, formerly resi
dents of Villa Rica.
—We are pleased to hear that that
excellent gentleman, Mr. Frank Bass,
is improving. Mrs. Bass spent several
days with him recently at an Atlanta
sanatarium, and is of the opinion he
will be able to come home soon.
—Rev. David Dodd, the new pastor
of the First Baptist church, arrived

no better than other boys whom Cupid
has thrown the hooks into. He will
sacrifice himself upon the nuptial altar
on the 14th inst., at the home of Miss
Susie Fincher’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.

“Yes, it’s my nature,” replied his
