And we are punning, ton, away like thdfn**
Wi*'ro Ri-owlna old,
We had our droanis-tho.de rosy dream* of youth
They faded and ’twaw well. This after prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes; anil yet. forsooth.
We drop u tear now In this later time
To think we re old.
Wo smile at those poor fancies of the past
A suddoned smile almost akin to pain;
Those high desires, those purposes so vast.
Ah, our poor hearts, they cannot come again!
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens nre old; this earth Is, too.
Old wine In best, nurtures! fruit most sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, although 'tls

We trend life's way with most uncertain feet
We're growing old.
We move along and scatter, as we pace,
Soft graves, tender hopes,on every hand;
At last, with gray-streaked hair and hollow face.
We slop across the boundary of the land
Whero none are old.

Downing-Banks Wedding.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 2fith ult.
A happy event of Thursday evening
was the marriage of Miss Margurite
Urquhurt Downing to Mr. Henry Jusper
Hunks, both of this city. The bride
is tho attractive daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Downing, thuB uniting two
old and well-known Columbus families,
and the marriage is the consummation of
a romance of school days. The young
people begin life with a bright prospect
of happiness and prosperity.
Rev. Dr. McElroy of the First Pres
byterian church performed the cere
mony in the presence of a large num
ber of friends, and the decorations of
the church were particularly beautiful.
They were arranged under the direction
of Mrs. Joseph S. Harrison and did
credit to her well-known taste and
judgment. An effect of pure white
ness around the pulpit and organ-loft
was produced by a crash-covered floor
and white curtain draperies in front of
the singers. The laige number of
beautiful palms used showed beautifully
on this white background, and swung
overhead was a canopy of garlandB made
of graceful bamboo. From the center
of the canopy a pair of white doves
were suspended, and the (lowers used
were all of white, the beautiful name-
flower of the bride, margureite, being
greatly in evidence. The clusters of
these lovely (lowers were tied with
white tulle and the ends of tho tulle gar
lands showed tasaela made of white
lilieB. Exquisite magnolia blooniB were
placed high up on the railing of
the organ-loft and all through numbers
of white wax candles shed their
beautiful shimmering lights. Many
expressions of admiration were heard
from the wedding guests on the
church decorations.
While the ushers were seating the
guests Miss Lilia Hook, the organist of
the church, played some fine selections
from “Cavaleria Rusticana” and other
favorite music; then just before the
bridal party entered Mrs. Marshall
Andrews sang, very sweetly, “The
Angel's Serenade” with a "beautiful
violin obligato by Mrs. Lottie Johnson
Porter,
As the music changed to the wed
ding march the UBhers came up the
aiBle and* took their places. They
were Mr. Gray Worsley, Mr. Richard
Bruce, Mr. Kinsel Berry and Mr. Ray
Blackmar. The bridegroom and his
best man, Mr. Ralph Banks, at the
same time came in from the pastor’B
study. Tho bridal party came up the
aisle in couples, two men and then two
girls, all the bridesmaides wearing
white lingerie dresses and carrying pink
carnations. They were Miss Emily
Ransom, Miss Laurine Cone of Macon,
Miss Lottie McElroy, Miss Ethel
Scarbrough, Miss Lucy Hill and Miss
Hettie Garrett. And the groomsmen
were Col. J. Littleton*Jones, of-New-
nan, Mr. Clifford Tarver, of Charlotte,
N. C., Mr. Albert Dozier, Mr.
Lemuel Hill, Mr. Ben Hurt Hardaway,
ani Mr. Ed Bates. The maid of honor
came next, Miss Mary Louisa Downing,
wearing pink mull and carrying pink
carnations. >
Out-of-town guests were Mrs. Thomas
J. Jones and Miss Virginia Glover, of
Newnan.
The pretty bride entered with her
father, Mr. Hugh U. Downing. She
was gowned in white satin, with
sweeping tulle veil and bouquet of
bride roses.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bridal party and guests repaired to the
home of Mr. J. B. Hill on lower Broad
street, where quite a large reception
was held. The bridal gifts displayed
were extremely handsome and choice,
the silver articles being specially
beautiful.
Mr. and Mrs. Banks went to New
York for their bridal journey, taking
the Central train for Savannah, and
will sail from thence. After their re
turn they will be at home to their
friends with the groom’s parents on
Third avenue.
The Near-Beer Saloons.
Albany Haralil. *-
Although no definite announcement
of the plans of the prohibition forces
in the State has been made, it is re
garded us practically certain that a
strong effort will be made during the
session of the Legislature to secure the
repeal of the present near-bear law.
The prohibitionists, including those
most prominent in the councils of the
Anti-Saloon League in Georgia, de
clare that a serious blunder was made
when the near-beer law was enacted.
It was passed as a* concession to the
conservative wing of the prohibition
element, hut those who call them
selves prohibitionists now contend
that the statute is an unwiBe one.
In the first place, it is urged by the
prohibitionists that the real “near-
beer” saloon is almost non-existent;
that the establishments licensed by the
State are, in nearly all communities of
the State, selling a very real article of
beer which contains from 4 to 6 per
cent, of alcohol, and is in no respect
different from the beer which was dis
pensed from all soloons in the State
prior to the passage of the prohibition
law.
Furthermore, the near-beeriea of the
State have 'been generally utilized as
masks for blind tigers. Of the latter,
it is probable that, if statistics were
available, it would be found
that an astonishingly large per
centage are operated under the cloak
of the near-beer dispensary. Such, at
least, is the evident belief of the pro
hibition leaders.
The State now derives a not incon
siderable revenue from the near-beer
Baloons in the State—i. e., from licenses
issued to permit the sale of near-beer.
This will be responsible for opposition
wheih is sure to develop against any
move to repeal the near-beer act. That
a determined attempt to repeal it is to
be made is, however, hardly to be
doubted.

Once there was a man who made life
miserable for all he met by eternally
harping about his aches and pains.
He would discourse on the subject of
his dyspepsia, and he would almost in
terrupt a religious Bervice to tell of his
rheumatic symptoms.
If he had a stitch in his side he had
to pester his friends with it, and a head
ache helped him to make everybody un
happy.
At last a bright young woman, to
whom the man applied for sympathy,
cured him of all his ailments.
When he was in the mid3t of a cata
logue of his sufferings, she said sweet
ly:
“Yer, it is strange how many of
these things afflict a man as he begins
to grow old."
That man never even had a symptom
after that.

Exterminate the Flies.
Kansan City Times.
Now is the time to begin biffing the
housefly. Physicians say that every
fly insufficiently swatted now means
several millions of equally evasive and
germ-carrying offspring in a month or
so. To eliminate the housefly at all
you must eliminate it early in the game,
before it has time to hatch its eggs.
“Contrary to the general belief,” Dr,
Albert Florian said yesterday, "the
housefly does not lay its eggs within
doors. The larvae come out of their
microscopic shells in trash piles, so
the best way to get rid of the fly is to
keep every yard and vacant lot in the
city clean.
"The next step is to prevent the fly
from entering the home. Although
the little pests are fond of sugar, there
are certain sweet odors which they dis
like. No fly will alight on a person who
uses perfume. Honeysuckle is the vine
whose blossoms are like poison to the
fly, and they will not come within yards
of it. To prevent the young houseflies
from entering a home, honeysuckle
vines should be strung along the front,
and particularly near the kitchen door
of every home. Then the flies will not
enter.
“What to do after the fly enters the
house,” might be a good title for the
admonition given by Mr. Walter M.
Cross, city chemist. He has been
smiting the fly very successfully for
several years, and his home has been
free from the pest for many seasons.
“There is no closed season in fly
hunting,” he said, “but right about
now is the best time to begin killing
them.
“If a fly gets past screen doors and
windows and into your' house, put
about twenty drops of carbolic acid on
a hot pan and allow the vapors to fill
the house. The odor is almost un-
noticeable to a human beipg, but it is
fatal to flies. There are several other
ways of slaying the pests, but this is
probably the besffand cheapest. ”

So Like His Famous Father.
Washington Star.
Once a month there appears upon
the streets of Washington a man who
bears a striking resemblance to Gen.
Robert E. Lee. The man is Gen.
George Washington Custis Lee, a son
of the leader of the Confederate army,
who served as a major-general in the
Confederate army. Gen. Lee’s regular
visits to Washington are not for the
purpose of renewing old acquaintances.
He always Jias a mission. As soon
as he leaves the train the old soldier
walks to the Ebbitt House barber shop.
A negro barber greets him courteously,
the General steps into the chair and has
his hair cut. After leaving the barber
shop he steps across the street to tho'
jaw offices of his son, Robt. E. Lee,
where he remains for a few minutes.
He then takes an early afternoon train
back to his home in Fairfax county.
Gen. Lee is president emeritus of
Washington and Lee University, of
which his father also was president.
The striking resemblance to his famous
father was illustrated by the sculp
tor who was selected to design the
statue of Gen. Lee which now stands
in Statuary Hall at the capitol.
The sculptor had an excellent death
mask of the Confederate general, but
was somewhat puzzled about the size
of the hand until he was informed that
Gen. George Washington Custis Lee
was the living image of his father,
The sculptor thereupon took an impres
sion of the hands of the son.

When John J. Corbert, the ChicRgo
Contractor and well-known Democratic
politician, was associated with George
W. JackBon in the construction of the
various Chicago tunnels he took a
personal intere# in his employees,
particularly where the character of the
work was dangerous.
During the construction of the sub
way Mr. Corbert noticed two of his
men—Jim Clancy and Mike Casey—
carlessly shifting a couple of cans of
dynamite to another section of the
tunnel. —
‘Here, boys, look here!” warned Mr.
Corbert, “you’ve got to be more care
ful with that dynamite. You’re
handling it like a bucket of mortar.
Why, don’t you know the last time
there was a dynamite explosion ten .men
were killed?”
“Shure, Mister Corbett,” whispered
Clancy, “ ’twon’t be so bad this time.

“A kind lady, as she gave this tramp
a large piece of cherry pie, said:
“ ‘But have you never made an effort
to get work. ’
“ ‘Oh, yes, ma’am,’ said the tramp,

none of its contents spilled. ‘Oh, yes,
ma’am. I got work ^or three members

them would take it. ’ ”

Why does Great Britian buy
its oatmeal of us?
Certainly it seems like carrying
coals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
ear the Quaker Oats Company sends
undreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britian and
Europe.
1 The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade., v ,
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without a rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in hermetically sealed
tins for hot climates. 51

PURELY
VEGETABLE
x.
It is a generally recognized fact that medicines taken
from the botapical" kingdom are better adapted to the
delicate human system, and safer in every way, than
those composed of strong mineral «mixtures,
In the early'settlement of this land, our forefathers
were obliged to procure their medicines from Nature's
great laboratories of forest and field. They searched out
and compounded the different vegetable materials into
teas, concoctions and medicines. That these pioneers
found the most potent and valuable of the roots, herbs
and barks placed at their disposal, is abundantly proven-
by the fact that the great majority of them were blessed
with rugged health. They cured their diseases and were
enabled to do the great preliminary work of civilization
because the remedies they used were Nature’s remedies,
arid specially adapted to "the needs of humanity.
Among the very best of these vegetable preparations is S. S. S., a medi
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and barks in such combination as to make
it the greatest of all blood purifiers and
the finest of all tonics. S.S.S. does
not contain the least particle of min
eral in any form, and is absolutely a
safe medicine for any one to use.
While purifying the blood this,
great vegetable remedy builds up and
strengthens every portion of the sys
tem. ,S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh. Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, .Scrof
ula, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood
Poison, hereditary taints, and all other
diseases and disorders caused by im
pure or polluted blood.
As a tonic S. S. S. is uneqalled. It
invigorates every portion of the system,
and the healthy blood it creates largely
assists in overcoming any derangement of the digestive system If you are
suffering from any blood trouble, or need a tonic to build up your consti
tution, you could not do better than to take S. S. S., a medicine that is in
no degree harmful. Book on the blood and any medical advice free.
