NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 28.
AT THE TURN OP THE LANE.
Out through the ml*t and the rain—
Out whoro the Kray nhadowH stain—
Thcre'n a gleam on the hill.
There's n dream on tho hill,
That walls at the turn of tho lane;
Thore’s a liicht on the crest,
Biivcr-whlto on tho brosat.
That waits at the turn of tho lane.
Out through the Gray Road of Pnin,
Where tho toll of tho day seoms in vain.
There’s a Bleep by the hill
That is deep by tho hill,
Thnt waits nt tho turn of tho lano;
And the lilies of light
Keep their watch through tho night
That waits at the turn of tho lane.
Wishing every reader of The Herald
and Advertiser a prosperous year, by
virtue of correct methods and honest
industry, I am, very truly,
Your Uncle John Gozan.
THEY GROW HAIR.
Communicated.
A Golden Opportunity
is at hand for every industrious farmer
on the red old hills of Georgia who will
plan well, prepare and plant with care,
fertilize and cultivate intelligently.
To plan well means to undertake to
cultivate a reasonable acreage, com
mensurate with the force of live stock
and laborers at command, and by all
meanB to diversify the crops in pros
pect. Plan first to grow a sufficiency
of grain and forage to supply every
person and beast on the farm. It has
been demonstrated by many of our best
farmers that this can easily be accom
plished. Three acres in corn and two
in oats to tho plow, on good average
upland, iB sufficient—provided good seed
ore used, the ground is well prepared,
and tho crops properly fertilized. Oats
should bo drilled from Oct. 1 to Nov.
10, if possible, using 400 to GOO lbs. of
10-2-2 guano. Then a top dressing of ni
trate of soda, (60 lbs. to the acre) about
April 15. Then sow the oat stubble in
peas and sorghum during the month of
June. Try it once and you will continue
the practice. If you did not sow oats
last fall put them in now, as outlined
above, and if they are not killed by a
hard freeze while in tho sp'rout they
will yet make a good yield. Sow Geor-
•gia-raised Appier rust-proof oats, if
they can bo secured. Don’t worry if
thoy cost more than others.
As to corn, plant the Marlboro varie
ty. Break tho land as deep as possible;
plant in water-furrow IS inches apart,
in 6-foot rows. At tho third plowing
apply as top dressing just ahead of the
plow 200 lbs. good guano, mixed with 50
lbs. nitrate of soda per acre. If you do
not make from 30 to 50 bushels per
aero it will be for lack of average rain
fall.
As to cotton, I hope you will raise
enough without telling you; but it is a
well-known fact that tho only people
Who aro getting a profit from growing
it aro those who secure a yield of 700 to
3,000 lbs. seed cotton per acre. From
one to two bales per aero can be, and
are, being made by thoso who rotate
their lands, thereby giving humus to
the soil. In addition thereto, deep prep
aration, n liboral use of good fertili
zers, and shallow and rapid cultivation,
nre all that is necessary. Why may not
you bo one of those? The farmers who
aro doing us above outlined aro those
who do not. have to buy corn and hay—
thoso lyho do not buy on credit, at long
time prices;—and, by tho way, has it
■ever occurred to you that this credit
business is a veritable two-edged sword?
It breaks tho majority of merchants
who do tho selling. Why? Because
the merchant can only turn over his
stock once a year. Ho flatters him
self into believing ho can afford that,
because he charges n profit of about 25
per cent, on his goods. Well, that’s
sounds pretty high, and unless tho far
mer is young and strong, and one who
coniines his purchases to absolute ne
cessities, he will not live to overcome
it. Honce, he is cut by one odge of the
sword. The short-sighted merchant
forgot to calculate that it took 10 per
cant, on all that he sold to pay current,
expenses. The money itself cost him 8
per cent., and sometimes more. He did
not roalizo his loss until too late. Be
sides, his living expenses amounted to
10 per cent. Altogether he was out 28
per cent. vs. his 25 per cent, of mar
gin, So he wns cut to the ground by the
other edge of the sword—swool colder
than was ever made from steel. That’s
what he thought when his friends and
money all left him about the same time.
But I did not intend to digress at such
length, though liavo only expressed
what could have been used as a truth
ful epitaph after many financial funer
als of the past. I only intended at the
outset to say something to encourage,
if possible, one or more of our indus
trious farmers. You nre the "archi
tects of your own fortune. ” With the
present prices und prospects of every
thing thnt grows from the soil, and of
every unimal that you can raise on the
farm, you have only to change your
method of farming, and nothing but in
dolence, ignorance, or extravagance can
bar your success. In this favored land
and climate industrious application,
with reasonable, intelligent manage
ment, you should wring from the pros
pects before you absolute independence.
You should in a few years become the
lender and not the borrower.
It matters not who I am, I am telling
the truth when I say you will never im
prove your condition so long as you try
to raise all cotton, and undertake to buy
your supplies on credit or with bor
rowed money. I would not hurt your
feelings for anything. ■ If I’ve said
aught to stimulate you and get you
started in the right direction, I am ful
ly repaid.
Certain Ingredients, if Properly
Combined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.
Resorein is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Be-
ta-naphtol is a most powerful, yet ab
solutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter, and creates a clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or die, is an ingredient well es
tablished for its power to restore natur
al color to human hair.
Borax, because of its well-defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a
soothing, healing and nourishing influ
ence. Alcohol is indispensable in medi
cine because of its antiseptic, stimulat
ing and preservative qualities.
Rexall “93” Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
aro compounded in a peculiar form, and
we believe it is the most effective rem
edy known to medical science for scalp
and hair troubles generally. We person
ally guarantee it to eradicate dandruff
and scalp irritations and to grow hair,
even though tho scalp in spots is bare
of hair, providing of course there is life
and vitality remaining in the hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair to
try Rexall “93” Hair Tonic. If it does
not remove dandruff and promote a
growth of hair to the satisfaction of
the user, we will without question or
quibble return every cent paid us for
This guarantee is printed on every
package. It has effected most satisfac
tory results in 93 out of 100 cases where
put to a practical test.
Rexall "93” Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular different
from anything else we know of for the
purpose for which it is recommended.
We urge you to try it at our own risk.
Certainly we could offer no better guar
antee. Two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.

Why the Cook Stayed.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The social matrons were having a
meeting to discuss the never-ending
question of cooks. It was the almost
unanimous opinion of the assembly, af
ter an hour’s talk, that it was impossi
ble to keep a cook more than a month
without changing.
“However,” announced the presi
dent, “if any person knows of an ex
ceptional case, let her speak.”
At this this the new member timidly
rose.
The exception is in my house,” she
said.
How long have you had your cook?”
asked the president.
“Over five years.”
For a moment the others stared in
amazement; then heads began to bob in
admiration, and more heads began to
swing sidewise in vigorous distrust of
the statement.
Is this cook entirely satisfactory as
a cook?”
“My husband thinks not, but she
stays nevertheless.”
How do you manage to keep her,
then?”
“Because she won’t go."
“Aha!”
This ejaculation which escaped from
the president’s mouth was flashed like
magic through the meeting until it be
came a huge wave.
The president regarded the new mem
ber with half-pity, half-scorn.
Mrs. Smith,” said she the next mo
ment, “instead of advancing a case in
which a long-sought solution might have
been found, you expose yourself as be
ing worse off than any of your sisters.
You know that by allowing this cook to
stay over a month you have enabled
the menial to attain and hold an ascend
ency over you and your husband—just
the thing this society has so long fought
against! No doubt you regret your po
sition, Mrs. Smith.”
I do not!” she replied, bridling
through the sniffs and tart insinuations
that scintillated about her. “I am the
cook!”
There is no doubt that a great num
ber of silly girls give their first best
thoughts to idle dreams of matrimony.
They care for nothing but to reach the
coveted goal, and, in so doing, improve
ment, elevation and dignified woman
hood are forgotten. Long ere they are
qualified for the cares of married life
they willingly take the responsibilities
of wifehood and motherhood upon them
—providing anyone aspires for their
hand—and when the marriage vows are
spoken thfe heart is rid of an immense
burden—the object of life is attained.
No girl under 20 has any business to
think of marriage. If she finds a dis
position in one of the opposite sex re
sponding with her own, let her admire
and enjoy it, but not to such an extent
that the heart is ablaze with love, and
the mind become a wilderness of air
castles.
The Sin of Unselfishness.
Any virtue carried too far becomes a
vice. Industry is a virtue^ but the wo
man who Ib too industrious to rest at
the proper time carries it too far and
ruins her health.
Charity becomes a vice when it
throws a veil of wickedness and pro
tects an evil that should be punished for
the sake of the innocent. The old
Greeks were right when they said that
the best rule to live by is, “Do nothing
too much. ’ ’
Moderation in all things, is the wise
woman’s law of life. She will do noth
ing too much, and especially will she
guard against the sin of unselfishness,
for in the home there is nothing that
works more subtle evil than extreme un
selfishness on the part of the mother.
As the children grow up, instead of
becoming mother’s helpers they are
continually waited on, growing daily
more selfish and helpless and rude un
der such treatment. The boys come in,
throw a cap here, a jacket there, leave
muddy tracks all about; the unselfish
mother follows after without a murmur,
wiping up and picking up. The girls
are no better. The mother makes her
self such an unselfish drudge that it
seems quite right and natural. They
loll in the easy chairs while mother
works and rests her weary limbs on a
straight-backed chair. They let her do
all the work and grumble when called
upon for the slightest help. The boys
let her get up first in the morning,
bring in her own wood, and build the
fire.
As they grow older they feel no re
spect for the household drudge, and even
their affection is tinged with patroniz
ing pity. If any sacrifice is to be made
it is always the mother who must be
sacrificed. She stays at home while the
others go about. She wears the shabby
dress and shawl while the othdrs enjoy
the new, fresh clothes. She sleeps on
the hard bed in the shabby back-room.
She keeps the tough piece of meat for
her own plate, and serves all the choice
portions to the others. She saves and
pinches and labors so the boys can go to
college and the girls to a fashionable
school, and then when they come home
with their fine educations, as they think,
they secretly despise and are ashamed
of the worn, wrinkled, shabbily-dressed,
broken woman whom they call mother.

Timely Advice.
There are certain conditions which
young people must observe, if the ob
stacles which do so much toward wreck
ing married life are to be avoided.
A young girl should never think of
getting married until she is adept in
housekeeping and domestic science.
To make a real home for the man that
she loves l's her part. Not a place which
is merely a stopping place to eat and
sleep,, but a spot where comfort, con
tentment and happiness reign.
Again, a young man must not think
of marrying until he is ready to settle
down into a quiet home life. It is said
that either the worst or best of a man's
nature asserts itself between the ages
of 20 and 22. After having his little
fling, he discovers that dissipation and
immorality are but gilded “apples of
Sodom,” which bring bitterness into
the heart and sorrow into the soul, he
will be thankful that he is able to retain
the love of one true-hearted young wo
man, and will be ready to devote his
life to her;
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is not
a common, every-day cough mixture.
It is a meritorious remedy for all the
troublesome and dangerous complica
tions resulting from cold in the head,
throat, chest or lungs. Sold by all
dealers.
There is nothing quite so certain
the uncertainty of a woman.
- In Bad Fix
“I had a mishap at the age of 41, which left me in bad
fix,” writes Mrs. Georgia Usher, of Conyers, Ga.
. “I was unconscious for three days, and after that I
would have fainting spells, dizziness, nervousness, sick
headache, heart palpitation and many strange feelings.
“I suffered greatly with ailments due to the change of
life and had 3 doctors, but they did no good, so I concluded
to try Cardui.
Since taking- Cardui, I am so much better and can do
all fny housework.”
Si* CARDUI
The Womans Tonic
Do not allow yourself to get into a bad fix. You might
get in so bad you would find it hard to get out
Better take Cardui while there is time, while you are
still in moderately good health, just to conserve your strength
and keep you in tip top condition.
In this way your troubles, whatever they are, will grad
ually grow smaller instead of larger—you will be on the
up-grade instead of the down—and by and bye you will
arrive at the north pole of perfect health.
