ASK THE PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
You would not ask Hal Fisher or Dan Manget
to sell you 10-4-4 fertilizer at a price they
would ask for an 8-2-2. When you buy mixed
feed be sure and see what is on the tag—not
only the analysis, but the ingredients. On
some you will find “oat feed,” which is only
a fancy name for oat hull. Oat hull has no
feeding value whatsoever. You insist on a
feed high in protein and fat, and low in fiber.'
If you do this, you will get a pure feed. Note
the analysis of our PRIMO FEED—protein
11.5, fat 3.5, fiber 9.5.

Memorial Day Originated in the
South.
Washington Times.
Celebration of Memorial Day is a cus
tom of forty-seven years’ standing,
and was first inaugurated by tho wo
men of the South, .who gathered to
honor their dead in St. Luke’s church,
Columbus, Ga., April 26, 1866, accord
ing to Mrs. Lucy R. Maxwell, of 1626
Fifteenth street, northwest.
Mrs. Maxwell takes issue with those
who assert that the observance of Me
morial Day was begun by Gen. Lo
gan or others. She says that it is typi
cally a Southern custom, and in proof
of her position she gives the history of
many memorial services held nearly
half tC century ago, before May 30 waB
recognized as a day to commemorate
the Union dead.
April 26 was first selected for the
celebration, she says, because it was the
sad anniversary of the surrender of
Gen. Johnstone and the abandonment
of the*cause of the Confederacy. Col.
James H. Ramsey, said Mrs. Maxwell,
was the last Memorial Day orator in
Columbus, and the “inspiration of the
day was in the hearts of Southern wo
manhood who gathered to honor their
dead and show their reverence for their
heroes.”
Mrs. Maxwell, in telling of the incep
tion of the custom, said:
“MrB. La Salle Corbel! Pickett, wid.
ow of Gen. Pickett, has stated in an in
terview that ‘Shortly after the close of
the war she was sitting on the veranda
of their home near Richmond, the Gen
eral being near her, when their dog
brought in a human bone and laid it on
the sack she was embroidering for their
baby. Fearing that the gruesome ob
ject would shock her if she recognized
it, Gen. Pickett gathered the bone up
and, calling the dog, left the house.
‘ ‘The dog led him to a shallow grave
dug in the ground that had been occu
pied alternately by Federals and Con
federates, and which probably contained
men of both armies. Recent rains had
exposed the bones and they were dug
up and reinterred at once under the di
rection of Gen. Pickett.
‘ ‘When the spring blossoms opened,
the General and I, with our children,
gathered them to put on'the grass-cov
ered graves,’ says Mrs. Pickett,
‘keeping in our hearts as we decorated
the mounds that had the Federal sol
diers, wives and sisters far away who
could never know where their loved
ones were buried. This was the first
Memorial Day.’
“And Rev. John T. Huddle, pastor of
St. Paul’s Lutheran church, Eleventh
and HBtreet, northwest, has stated that
it originated in the ‘casual remark of a
German soldier. In Germany it was
the custom of the people to set one day
in the year apart for the purpose of
scattering flowers hpon the graves of
the dead,’ he said.
“ ‘The simple beauty of the sentiment
deeply impressed his comrades, and
through them was finely brought to the
-attention of Adjt.-Gen. N. P. Chipman,
who, with National Commander John
A. Logan, of the G. A. R,, selected
May 30 as the day upon which to honor
the Union dead * * * But the re
cords which I have in my possession
show that previous to those celebra
tions, on April 26, 1866, memorial ser
vices were held in St. Luke’s church,
Columbus, Ga., and the graves of the
Confederate dead were decorated with
flowerB. Col. JameB N. Ramsey, who
commanded the First Georgia Regi
ment in Virginia, and who-succeeded
Gen. Garnett in command of that
department of the Virginia army when
Garnett was killed at Carrock’s Ford,
delivered the memorial address. The
Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun of
April 27, 1871, has the following:
" ‘On April 26, 1865, the army of
Gen. J. E. Johnston surrendered. On
that day the stars and bare were low
ered and the hopes of a Southern Con
federacy were abandoned. The ladies
of Columbus, acting on as sweet an im
pulse as ever rhymed melodies in the
souls of noble women, suggested that
the day would be a most suitable one
for the memorial occasion—for honor
ing the dead of the Lost Cause and
showing the deep reverence Southrons
entertain for its heroes. The sugges
tion found a response in every true
heart, from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande, and yesterday thousands all
over the land were decorating the
graves of th se who fell while wearing
tho gray and defending thefr homes
and loved ones.
“ ‘Memory to-day, searching the re
miniscences of those four weary years,
recalls the heavy march, the tattered
clothing, the bivouac ’mid cold and
sleet, or, again, sweet sleep ‘neath the
blue and brilliant stars, the tireless
sentinel, tho merry laugh that made a
jest of toil and battle, the picturesque
sceneB around the camp-fire, the car
nage, tho wounded, and the brave
hearts that throbbed their last on the
field of honor, the last sad days and
the surrender—all come thronging on
the soul with a sense of exultation and
exquisite pain. The observance of yes
terday and preceding years have proved
that—
" ‘All arc not dead who dio; donth cannot kill
Tho memory of tho loved;
Veiled from our vision, they aro with us still.
Whose hearts tho yoars have proved.’
“The memorial address in 1866 was
delivered by Col. J. N. Ramsey, in St.
Luke’s church, in the morning; decora
tion of graves in the afternoon. -In
1867, Dr. E. F. Colzey delivered his ad
dress in Temperance Hall; decorations
as before. In 1868, Major R.4I. Moses
delivered the address in the cemetery
in the afternoon; decorations after
ward. In 1869, Capt. J. F. Pou spoke
in the same place at the same hour. In
1870, T. W. GrimeB, Esq., spoke in
Temperance Hall; decoration in the af
ternoon. In 1871, C. H. Williams, Esq.,
delivered the address in Springer’s Op
era House; decorations in the after
noon.” * * *
“At the time of the first memorial
service there in Columbus, Ga., there
was stationed a regiment of Federal
soldiers, and it was reported that the
officers objected to a public demonstra
tion. Acommittee of ladies called on
Col. Ramsey, telling him what they had
heard, and asked if the exercises should
be called off. He replied to their invi
tation to be orator for the occasion.
" ‘I accept the honor with all its re.
sponsibilities, and, by the help of God
and the presence of tho women, I will
tell the world of the heroic deeds and
patriotic devotion of my fallen com
rades, ’
“When ho began to speak an April
cloud gathered over the assembled
crowd, composed mostly of women and
children.
“Lifting his eyes toward heaven, he
said: ‘Women of the South, be en
couraged; the angels are in sympathy
with you, and are now mingling their
tears with yours over the graves of our
noble dead. ’
Thus we see that Memorial Day
originated in the hearts of Southern
womanhood, who gathered together on
that 26th of April, 1866, in Columbus,
Ga., to pay homago to the vajor, cour
age, and heroism- of tho sons of the
South who at the bugle blaBt of duty
laid down their lives on the altar of
their beloved land.
This beautiful cuBtom spread
through the South, then the North took
it up, celebrating May 30 aB their Dec
oration Day. -The decorating with flow
ers both the graves of the Blue and the
Gray has helped to cement the friend
ship of the North and South, and to
make this a reunited country.
“In Washington, where the seasons
are late, the first Sunday in June has
been chosen aB Memorial Day, and to
day the solons of the South will gather
at Ailington to commemorate in song
and story deeds of valor, heroism and
patriotism which have stirred the bouIb
of thousands, and which, like martial
music, for half a century have gone
sounding down the ages, inspiring youth
to higher ideals and higher courage.
To-day is the forty-seventh anniversary
of Memorial Day, and tho same spirit
of love and devotion that inspired that
little hand of Southern women still ex
isls, and will to-day animate the loving
hearts and gentle hands which will
scatter flowers over the mounds, ’neath
which sleep the heroes of half a cen
tury in beautiful Arlington, the ‘biv
ouac of tho nation’s dead.’ ”
Newnan Gets Three From Gads
den.
T. S. PARROTT, SPORTING EDITOR.
Newnan mopped up the ground with
Gadsden last week by taking the entire
series in three interesting and oxciting
gam’eB. The first game, which has
been commented on in these columns,
was of the hit-and-run variety, and
went to the locals by the score of 13 to
Friday’s game was more closely
drawn,'and a nerve-racker, from the
spectator's standpoint. The visitors
maintained a two-run lead until tho
eighth inning, when King blew up and
allowed Newnan to tie the score. When
the ninth spasm rolled around ho had
not returned to Mother Earth, and tho
locals put across tho deciding run.
Hawkins pitched a boantiful game for
Newnan, holding tho visitors hitless
and scoreless aftor the fourth inning.
Saturday's game developed into a
pitcher’s battle between Lovett and
Frentz, and tho former wob returned a
victor by the count of 4 to 3. Although
he gave up tho most hits, Lovett kept
them well scattered and caused nine of
the enemy to puncturo the ozone. He
was backed up in faultless style, by his
team-mates in the field, who also hit in
tho pinches and took every advantage
of Gadsden’s miscues.
As matters now Btand we have taken
six out of nine games from tho league
leaders, which is going some, don’t you
think?
Following are box scores of tho three
games;

“Are you just saying it to be polite,’
he persisted, “or do you notice nothing
about me to-day?”
“No, Harold, I think not,” she said,
puzzled. “Your hair is cut the same
way, and it can’t be that you have had
your mustache Bhaved off, for there
is under your noBe.”
“And you don’t notice it?” he said, a
trifle bitterly, though ordinarily he was
sweet enough. “I should think, Imo-
gene, that if you loved me as much as
I love you, you would notice it.” And
he sighed.
“Tell me, Harold,” she said at length
“Tell me what it is.”
“It iB my shoe,” he said. “I sent
one shoe around to be heeled, so I had
to come this evening with only one
shoe on.”
“Oh, Harold!” she cried, of course
noticed that. I didn't say anything be
ciuse I thought it might embarrass
you!”
He kissed her fondly.

rate Wife Interrupts Hubby’s
“Joy Ride” Plans.
Mncon Telegraph, lfith Inst.
Be careful, young ladieB, with whom
you go automobiling after dark. If it
iB a man, bo Bure he is not married, or
his wife may got you.
A young lady who is employed at a
popular establishment on Third Btreet
bears evidence to this by several scare
on her face and a swollen right eye,
sustained Friday night when Bhe start
ed for an auto ride with F. R. Hoff
man, who Hvgb at 311 Main street,
East Macon.
"It soemed a pity to break up their
plans,” Baid Mrs. Hoffman, telling of
tho affair to some friends yesterday.
"But I couldn’t afford to let it go on.”
Being tipped ofT to the fact that her
husband wns preparing to take a young
lady out for a ride, and learning that
her home wns on Broad streot, near the
Fort Hnwkins public school, Mrs. Hoff
man promptly decided to bo there also.
When tho auto drove up and stopped
in front of the young lady’s home at 7
o’clock Friday night, Mrs. Hoffman,
who had secreted herself near by, was
surprised to see that the one-seated
runabout was not to carry one, but two
couples, for getting on the hack of the
machino waa a man friend of her hus
band and another young lady, whom
she know. .
Springing from her hiding place, Mrs.
Hoffman reached tho machino just as
her husband’s partner was being seat
ed. With a flourish she dragged her
from the car and with a pair of scissors
began to administer a severe punish
ment.
Tho men were so taken aback that
they stood speechless as the young lady
under fire attempted to fight oflE the
blows of tho infuriated wife, who ad
ministered several scratches on the
face, which required long ribbons of
courtplaatcr to covor.
The couple who attempted to got on
tho rear of tho mnehine sought safety
through flight and started down Broad
street. Aa Boon as she could safely do
so, Hoffman’s partner followed suit,
leaving the husband and wifo to have
it out.
Hofrman attempted to make a geta
way, and, springing into his machine,
switched on the power, tho car being a
self-starter. Mrs. Hoffman leaped into
the car and in a cloud of dust they
started for tho garage, where, after the
car was put away, they Returned in si
lence to their home in East Macon.
Tho young ladies declare they thought
Mr. Hoffman was a single man, but
soon learned ho had a strong supporter
in the person of his wife.

Newnan Citizens Testify for the Pub
lic Benefit.
A truthful statement of a Newnan
citizen, given in his own words, should
convince the most skeptical about the
merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If you
suffer from backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, urinary disorder or any
form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney
medicine.
A citizen tells of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convincing
proof of merit?
Mrs. J. N. Jones, 18 Cole St., New
nan. Ga., says: “I was in bad shape
with my kidne.vB. My health was all
run down and there was a sharp, knife
like pain in m.v back and right aide.
The kidney secretions were in terrible
shape and symptoms of dropsy began
to appear. A friend recommended
Doan’a Kidney Pills to me and I got
a box from the Lee Drug Co. I never
felt so good in all my life as I did after
using them. They brought me positive
relief from the trouble.”
