That tall, slight woman with the
skin of milk and roses, which it is plain
to see does not owe its beauty to make
up, but to nature, is the mother, not
the sister, of the 20-.vear-old girl beside
her; while the handsome young mat

Glossy tresses, beautiful ligures, un
married, an absurdity, and, what was
worse, almost an impropriety by their-
contemporaries. The matron of the
past accepted, nay, even looked for,
middle age as the proper sequel to
wifehood and motherhood, while the
modern woman rejects with enlightened
scorn the elderly era. and, feeling
young, looks young, and is young a full
decade longer than was her mid-Victo-

The woman of to-day, leading a
broader, fuller life than was considered
possible thirty years ago, has realized
that existence is too short to accept
middle age and all its sacrifices before
life is half over. Then in hundreds of
cases she is to-day a bread-winner, a
worker in life’s arena, and knows that,
although she cannot achieve real suc
cess lacking maturity of mind, her add
ed experience also teaches her that
outward youth is a valuable asset in
obtaining good work and keeping it. So

Paper Goes on Its Merits.
Eatonton News.
A traveling salesman visited our of
fice last week and tried to inveigle us
into a proposition to buy a lot of cheap
scissors from him and give a pair with
each subscription to this paper.
We declined to go into the hardware
business. We will continue in thenews-
paper business and run and sell the pa
per on its own merits, giving every
subscriber his full money’s worth in a
good newspaper.
Whenever we think we can sell more
scissors or other junk than newspaper,
or can’t print a real dollar paper that
will be acceptable for a dollar, without
“throwing in” a lot of merchandise to
work it off, then we will quit the news
paper business.
Our patrons tell us we are printing
the best paper ever published in Eaton
ton. We know that when we get better
organized and acquainted we will make
many improvements that will make The
News still more popular.
Anyway, we will give you everything
we can in an up-to-date newspaper with
out any catchpenny schemes or prize-
box attachments.
Speaking along this line, the Tifton
Gazette, one of Georgia’s most excel
lent weeklies, says: “It is a source of

nnot pit their blushing roses of gratification to us that The Gazette has
never offered a prize or a premium as
an inducement to subscribe. Every ef- j
fort of the management of the paper
has been expended in making it worth
one dollar, and if you don’t want it at
that figure, we will look for some one
else that does. Our observation has
been that when a prize is offered to in
veigle a subscriber into the net one
time, he gets the idea that the paper is
not worth the money, (which the pre-
it vulgarly, “get a look in” with the ! mium giver admits by his own act) and
