GLOOMY BRIC-A-BRAC. from the Moment of Rlrth They Take Core of Themselves. The fallacies surrounding the rattle snake begin with the very coining of the reptile.

For a brief half hour she tar- 1 ries; then ahe drags herself nwny, for from the first moment n young rattler enters tho world he Is Independent of Ills mother and eminently able to shift for himself.

Mrs. Davis remarks on Hawthorne’s shyness nnd on his love of seclusion, which Indeed wns n family trait: "Per sonally lie was a rather short, power fully built man, gentle nnd low voiced, with a sly, elusive humor gleaming sometimes In his wntehful grny eyes. The portrait with which we nro all fa miliar, a curled bnrbor shop head, gives no lden of the singular, melan choly ohnrm of his face.

A gasoline engine furnishes the cheapest power obtainable for pumping water, running wood saws, churns or any kind of ma chinery. Farmers who have light work where power is required, will find a gasoline engine “the very thing”. However, they are made in all sizes, from I to ioo horse power: and the man who wants a large engine for any purpose will find a gasoline engine perfectly satisfactory. A gasoline engine is far less dangerous than a steam engine; is easily and quickly started and stopped; and can be run by any person of ordinary intelligence, without any knowledge of ma chinery. The International gasoline engine furnishes safe and cheap power. It’s “a beauty” in every respect, and does its work per fectly. ( You can see an International in operation in the News office. The owner will take pleasure in showing it in operation to all call ers. E. L. WALTOM, Newnan, Ga. Agent tor International Gasoline Engines.
