Monday night she was seized with a fit of coughing, and during the paroxysm the seed was ex pelled from the bronchial tube, but lodged in the windpipe, causing her death. The little body was brought to Newnan the following afternoon, and, after a simple service at the grave, conducted by Rev. H. L. Edmondson, it was laid to rest in the family lot at Oak Hill. Feb.

One day he set off for New York to buy a lot of goods. The goods were shipped immo- rliately. and as Bill had lingered in New York sightseeing, they reached Croy don Four Corners before him. The goods, in an enormous packing case, were driven to the general store by the local teamster. Mrs. Sprague came out to see what had arrived, and with a shriek, tottered and fell. “Oh, what’s the matter, ma’an?” cried the hired girl. Mrs. Sprague, her eyes blinded with tears, pointed to > the packing case, whereon was stenciled in large black letters: “Bill Inside.” A good Methodist once asked John Wesley to advise him in regard to -u certain woman well-known to both.

Phone Us Your Wants LAWS OF THE INCAS. A Code That Was Remarkablo For Its Beneficent Simplicity. Among Hu- most 1-0111111'kable laws of tile Incas were those concenilng taxa tion. Tin- priuetpnl feature of those laws was Unit taxes were ant paid la money, tint in work and in produce, whether niniiiifuctiired or grown. Tito Inca emperors thought it unjust to de mand that taxes should la- paid in any kind of commodity that the people could not produce iiy their own personal la bor. The people also paid another sort of tribute. Tliej made clothes, shoes and arms for the soldiers and fol tile poor who could not work themselves owing to age or infirmity. The cloth was made ol wool front the lloeks of llamas that abounded In tile mountains. On the plains ol the seaeoasl, where the climate ts warm and tle-y do not dress In Woolens, tin- people made cotton cloths, the cotton being supplied from the crops of the emperor. The shoes were made In the provinces where aloes were most abundant, for they were made of the leaves of a tree culled maguey. Knelt province furnish ed its own produce, and no province had to supply anything that did not be long to It. There was a inundate that forbade beggary and destitution; that, of course, followed upon due provision of their laws. Every citizen was provided for theoretically and practically. No man need lie idle; no man need lack laud or seed or Implements for cultivation; therefore no one was permitted to lieg. It any were found lining so It was •clear proof of idleness, for the Incapa ble were provided for. and contempt and punishment were meted out on all trumps, vagabonds and Idlers.—“The Secret of the I’uellic.” L I WANT YOUR TRADE Because I Give “For the Sake of Argument.” "Well. now. lor the sake of argu ment"— is there a more Irritating phrase?
