Whereas, by satisfactory evidence
presented to the undersigned, it lias been
made to appear that "The Manufactur

city of Newnan, in the County of Cow
eta, and Htate of Georgia, has ooinplied
with all the provisions of the statutes
of the United States,required to be com
plied with before an association shall be
authorized to commence the business of
Banking i
Now therefore I, Thomas P. Kane,
Doputy nnd Acting Comptroller of the
Currency, do hereby oertify that "The

County of Coweta,and State of Georgia,
Ih authorized to oomnienoo tin; business
of Banking as provided in Section Fifty

Tbe ant* which are really protective
to plants are not those which obtain
their food. Indirectly for tbe most part
through the aphides, from the vegeta
ble kingdom, but those which are real
ly carnivorous. These are numerous In
temperate climates, nnd their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture Is j
Incontestable. Thus the Held ant is ;i i
great Insect destroyer. A nest of this !
species Is capable of destroying as
many ns twenty-eight caterpillars and
grasshoppers a minute, or 1,000 an
hour, nnd such a colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
seuson. In tbe arid plains of America
the beneAcent work of unts Is revealed
In tbe Isles of verdure around their
bills. There are plants hospitable to
ants, which furnish them sheTOr and
often food, within tbe cavities of which
tbe Instincts of tbe ants prompt them
to take their abode. This Is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectarlferum, the sterile
fronds of which bear neotarle# on their
lower face and are. moreover, of a
shape favorable to sheltering tbe In

“I used to wonder why It was that I
noticed so many young women lugging
suit cases all over town.” said the man
on tbe street corner. "At first I thought
perhaps they were Independent young
persons who were on their way to tbe
Grand Central station or to the ferry
boats to take trains, but then 1 no- |
i(ped them In parts of the town where
they couldn't possibly be making for
a railroad station, since they were go
ing In the wrong directions. Now I
have learned who these women are.
Moat of them are trained nurses. When
they leave tbe hospitals or their homes
to attend a ease they pack their uni
forms and other necessaries In these
suit cases, which they carry with
them. 8o when you see a young wom
an carrying a suit cane and bound In a
direction away from a boat or railroad
station It's very likely she’s a trained
nurse and Is either starting out to at
tend a case or Is returning from one.”

Of the male bluebird Thoreau said,
"He carries the sky on his hack.” To
this John Burroughs added, "and the

wings and tall, chin and throat are a

are a chestnut brown uqd bis ulidomen
a dirty white. The female is very much
duller in coloring, often having a red

The World an It I*.
A world without mistakes und with
out suffering would he a world without
real men and women, without litera
ture, without music, without painting
or sculpture nnd without love, and
even without history, for history Is a
record of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome nnd errors to correct men
nnd women would lapse to a level with |
beasts In mentality. Intellectual and
spiritual development would cease and
souIh not reAned by the Are of ordeals
would die of something akin to fatty
degeneration. The races would perish
of ennui or Inunlty. After all. It’s n
pretty fair sort of world ns It stands.

The Aleutian Island*.
Until the time of Beter the Great tbe
Aleutian Islands were unknown. The
famous Russian monarch, consumed
with curiosity as to the distance be
tween Asia and America, started. In
1725, the first of the expeditions that
at Inst revealed those haunts of the
bear, the beaver, tbe ermine and tbe
senl. But Captain Cook told more
about tbe Islands than did all the Rus
sian explorers before him.
The Price.
If one sets one's heart on the ex
ceptional, the far off—on riches, on
fame, on power—the chances are he
will Ik; disappointed. He will waste
his time seeking a short cut to these
things. There is no short cut. For
anythiug worth having one must pay
the price, aud the price is always work,
patience, love, self sacrlAce—no prom
ise to pny, but the gold of real service.

An unpopular man who was reftised
membership In a certain urlstoeratic
club had the audacity to write to the
club secretary demanding tbe name of
the man who blackballed him. The sec
retary could not resist the chance of
sending the following reply: “Sir, I
have received your letter demanding
the name of the man who blackballed
you. His name Is Legion.”

“Grandpa says his stay In the moun- |

His room was right off the piazza, and
people made love under his window

“No; us soon ns the lovers went to
