NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FJRDAY, MAR. 19. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCK. The Matter of Size. Hannah City Star. "You can't tell by the looks of u frog how far he can jump.” That old and crude philosophy is as applicable to men as to frogs. A story in The Star the other day told of the arrival at the union station of four men, three of them alert, well dressed, impressive looking. The fourth wore a battered old raincoat, frayed at the button holes. His manner was timid and retiring. In size he was in significant. He was a little-great man, Dr. Chas. H. Mayo, one of the greatest surgeons the world hBS never known. John B. Clough, the greatest plat form orator, used to tell a story about himself, how he arrived late at a hall in Glasgow, where ho was to speak. The place was packed. He could not get in. To the crowd wedged into the front entrance he told that ho must get in; that he was Gough, the speaker. They looked at him, he was nn undersized man, and laughed. They imagined that Gough, the great orator, must be a tall man. He went to a aide window, hoping to be able to crowd in there. It was al ready jammed full, and, they too, laugh ed when he told them ho was John B. Gough. Finally ho went to n rear door and told the man on guard there that he was Gough. "Yes, five or six other men have al ready told mo that," the watchman said. Gough gave him a shilling to paBS him into the stage, and after the lecture the doorkeeper went to him and said; "Well, Gough, you’ro like a singed cat; better than you look.” Many men who do great things are small in stature und insignificant look ing. Nearly all of them would pasB un noticed in u crowd. Gen. Sir John French, field marshal in command of the British forces in France, "the incomparable Ney" of the British army, is described by Herbert Corey as “short und st|uut in stature, u ludicrous figure on horseback, and not at all the sort of man in appearance one expects u cavalry leader to be.” And he is quiet und unassuming.” They all arc—all men who do great things. Lloyd-George, British chuncellor of the cxchtqur, one of the great men of Unglund, is described as follows in Col lier's Weekly; "A short, stocky man, about the size of I.u Follette; there was nothing distinguished in his uppeurunce." He is known as "The Little Welsh Law yer. ’ ’ Lord Roberts, a great general, was known uh "Little Bobs." Grant was short and stocky. Lord Nelson, the greatest sen lighter the world has ever sein, was undersized and delicate. Napoleon was "The Lit tle Cotporal." Stephen A. Douglas was the "little giant." Harriman and Jay Gould, wizards of railway finance, were un dersized. So is John D. Rockefeller. The list might be extended to col umns, disproving the popular belief that for a man to be a genius he must be big; but still the world will keep on believing it. - —. How eBsy it is to mix up the average business man was demonstrated the other day when the son of a local mer chant leaned aguinst hiB father's knee and innocently asked: "Daddy, is to-day to-morrow?" X"No, my son, of course to-day isn’t to-morrow," answered the father. “But you said it was," continued the ■on. "When did 1 ever say to day was to morrow?" "Yesterday," answered the son. “Well, it was; to-day was to morrow yesterday, but to-day is to-day, just as to-day was to morrow yesterday, and to-morrow will be to-day to-morrow, which makes to-day yesterday and to morrow all ut once. Now run along and play," und the father collapsed in to his chair with a sigh of relief. It is often literally true that "the weak things of the world" arc able to "confound the things which are mighty.” Not long ago a former Con gressman was caught napping by his little granddaughter, who is the delight of her parents and the idol of her grandfather. She came before him, her face wreathed in smiles, and said; "Grandpa, I saw something running across the kitchen floor this morning without any legs. What do you think it was? He studied for awhile, but finally was obliged to give it up. "What was it?" he asked. "Water,” answered the little lady triumphantly. There Is No Question but that indigestion and the distressed feeling which always goes with it can be promptly relieved Dy taking a before aud after each meal. 25c u box. John R. Cates Drug Co.

When one draws near to that day when he will descend into the valley of the shadow of death, there is but one thing important to him, if he tie made of the right kind of material. Has he been of any Bervice to mankind? Is the world any better because he has lived? Has his life been worth while? What is there on the credit side of the ledger? Will any one he sorry because we are about to end our journey? What mat ters wealth piled up in vaultB or in vested in stocks and bonds when we have to close our tired eyes upon the accumulation of our weary toil and leave it to be squabbled over, maybe a curse to those whom we love most dearly? What matters wealth and power and position, if we leave behind us no hearts whom we have made hap pier, no tired hands we have rested, no weary brains we have planted hope in? If we are wise, we will crowd into our busy lives each day some good, soma helpfulness, some service to those who are struggling under the burdens and weight of many handicaps. 'Twas eventide. The small lad stood on the bridge clapping his hands vigor ously. Beyond the brow of the hill a dull, red glow suffused the sky. "Ah, little boy!" remarked the stranger, who was a little near-sighted, “it does my heart good to Bee that you appreciate yon cloud effect." "Yes, sir,” replied the lad. “I’ve been watching it for ten minutes." Upon the boy’s face there appeared a smile of perfect bliss. “A real poet, without a doubt. And do you watch the Bunset often, little boy?” "Sunset? Why, that ain’t a sunset, gov’nor; that's our school-house burn ing down.” “What time in the year is best to ap ply lime for the corn crop? Some say that I should haul out the barrels of lime and knock the heads out and let it air slake, and others that it Bhould be water slaked. What is the best?” If you are using lime to restore the sweet ness of the soil you can spread it after plowing for the corn and harrow it in. But so far as the r.orn is concerned, it makes less use of lime than some other crops, and it is better to harrow it in after preparing the land after corn :'s cut, for the small grain crop. Buying lime in barrels is a very expensive way. Better buy in bulk in car-loads, and get it much cheaper.—W. F. Massey, in The Progressive Farmer.
