Newnan. Ga., May lGth. [ E. J. Sti.piiRNH. Communicated. Andersonville Prison. Prison life is no picnic. There is noth ing r "sy about it. You must obey or ders and rules of prison commanders, nnd take what is measured out to you. If you are so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of a tyrant you are of all men the most miserable. If a man is in debt and wants to pay up, and has nothin,' to pay with, and is proud in spirit, he is about in as hud fix as a man in prison. He has to feed himself and family, furnish his own bed and kick out his own sheets. About the only difference in him and the man that is in prison is that he can go home at night, while the man in prison has his rations furnished, a bed to lie on, and ho can kick out the othor fellow’s sheets. Andersonville was no exception to this rule. How could it be, with many prisoners to care for, a Government to treat with that seemed not to care for that portion of its soldiers that had fallen into the hands of an enemy whoso resources were limited, whoBe country was being devastated and stripped of its sustenance; and yet we were charged with cruelty to the in mates of this prison! In sumo instances harsh measures are resorted to from necessity to maintain order in families, llow much more should such measures be expected when thousands of men are gathered together for safekeeping. But neither were officers or soldiers cruel or unreasonable towards the prisoners. They had the same rations the guards did. There was a nice branch running through the prison grounds, and a tine spring which fur nished an abundance of drinking water for all. Now, this spring, 1 am told, has been called "Providence spring.” Some fellow wanted to get up a sensa tion, and wrote to a newspaper or mag- y.ine that the prisoners were famishing fur water, and they assembled the good men together to pray for relief. As the story goes, while they were pray ing nod agonizing with the I.ord for re lief a bold spring of sweet, pure water gushed from earth in answer to their prayers, and saved them from dying with thirst, etc. 1 never heard of this mighty miracle until some time after the war. Be be yank or reb, I am not saying there were not many good men in the prison—Christian men, born of the Spirit—but it would be hard to con vince me that the Lord commissioned any of them as He did Moses of old. A number of prisoners were out on parole about the camp; in fact, as many as could be used—some carrying wood, some helping to bury the dead, and others performing various tasks. One prisoner had a tuilor shop in our regiment, nnd he could make the best beer you ever tasted. One played on the fife. There was a band headed by a ”reb” named Williams, from Pike county. It was composed of some of our men and some prisoners. When this hand lined up and the leader gave the signal there was some mighty good singing, let it be comic, sentimental or sacred. So, you see, out of all our hard ships, privations and sorrows we had some moments of relaxation and enjoy ment. Prisoners could buy from peddlers, Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless chill Touie is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

But trading was done between soldiers and prisoners occasionally, and sometimes they were caught, when the culprit would he given extra duty to perform, or be required to mark time. The pris oners were not punished for trading. Let me tell how some trades were made and the goods delivered by the guards and prisoners: A prisoner would come up to the dead-line and say to the man on post, “Say, Johnnie, can’t you find some soup beans?” (They called all kinds of peas soup beans.) “I might,” the guard would answer, "what have you got—ring, knife, brush, comb, or what? See you next time.” Then the guard, if he could get anything, would put it in a little sack, get a long string, tie a weight to one end and throw it over the dead line. He with one end and the prisoner with the other would agree on the terms: then put the sack on the string and let it slide down. The prisoner would fasten what he had traded to the string and pull it up. Not one time in a hundred would either party fail to stand by his promise. Grantville, May .’list. J. H. M. It is Springtime. Harold Roll Wright. It is springtime— blossoming time— mating time. The world is a riot of color and perfume and song. Every twig that a few weeks before had been a bare, unsightly stick is now a miracle of dainty beauty. From the creek the orchard appears against the soft blue sky, a wondrous, numu- lus cloud of fleecy whiteness Hushed with a gloss of delicate pink. The meadows and pastures are studded with stars of gold and pearl, of ruby and amethyst and ailver. The fairy hands that had thrown over the wood a filmy veil of dainty color has now dressed each tree and bush in robes of royal fabrics, woven from many tints of shim mering, shining green. Through the amber light above new- turned furrows; amid the jewel glint of water in the sun; in the diamond sparkle of the morning, the bees and all their winged kin lloat and dart, Hash and dance and whirl, from Hower to flower and field to field, from blos som to blossom and tree to tree, bear ing their pollen messages of love and life, while sweet-voiced birds, in the brightest plumage, burden the per fumed air with the passionate melody of their mating time. AH nature seems bursting with eager desire to evidence a Creator’s power. Every tint and color, every breath of perfume, every note of music, every darting tlight or whirling dance, is a call to life—a challenge to love—an in vitation to mate a declaration of God. The world throbs and exults with the passion of the Giver of Life. Grandmother at 29. Millbrook, Ala., May 28. — With a birth in the family last week, Mrs. Jo sephine Davis Hill, a former Macon, Ga., woman, now residing with her husband, S. M. Hill, at this place, be came a grandmother at the age of 29 years. Here is a bit of her history— Married at 12. Became a mother at 13. Was a widow at 16. Remarried at 20. Became a grandmother at 29 years and a day. Mrs. Bill was horn March 4, 1SS6, in Macon, and in 1898 married Oliver An drew. She became a mother one year later. She became a widow in 1902 at the age of 16 and removed to Alabama, where, in 1906, she married S. M. Hill, her present husband.

The call for 300,000 recruits issued by Lord Kitchener, it seems to us on this I side of the pond, should have been : made long ago. Perhaps had it been, Antwerp had not fallen. The delay recalls the fatal error of ; Jefferson Davis. When Mr. Toombs was Secretary of the Confederate States, in a cabinet meeting, he urged that every available man in the Con- /edcracy be called out at once. President Davis replied: "Why, Mr. Toombs, we have not arms for those in i the field now.” But answered Mr. Toombs: “Sir, we will capture them in the first battle. Nothing can withstand the enthusiasm of our soldiers. Take advantage of this enthusiasm. The first battle will be fought near Washington. Ha%e 50,000 or more fresh troops to take the place of those fatigued by battle, and we will rush on and capture Washington and command peace.” Events proved the sagacity of Mr. Toombs. After the battle of Bull Run, when President Davis met Stonewall Jackson, Jackson said: “Give me 5,<kifl fresh troops and I’ll have Washington by suit'd to-morrow. ” But Mr. Toombs’ advice had not been followed and there were no fresh troops. England should have called out every available man at the start, adopting Mr. Toombs’ idea. Had she done so Antwerp had been saved, and all this submarine and torpedo business been averted. England knew Germany had been "preparing” for twenty years. Mr. Davis blundered; so did Lord Kitchener. Hanging Too Good For this Brute. Bainbridge, May 21.—J. F. Moose. j white, and the father of six children, ] was convicted in the Superior Court this afternoon of improper conduct to- , ward a 14-year-o!d daughter. He was sentenced to hang on July 2. The crime was perpetrated on April 25 on the Moose farm near Donaldsonville. ] The principal witnesses were the girl | and an elder sister. According to a statement of the elder daughter, Moose had from time to time known her criminally since she was 11 years j old. The evidence was the mast re volting ever heard in ,this section, and Moose is the first white man sentenced to hang here in over twenty years. ’Moose has lived here three years. Originally he came from Lumpkin county, near Danlonega. Not for Men Only. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are not as insistently demanded by women as by men, because this particular cathartic is not so well known among women. Women suffer as much as men do from indigestion and constipation, and they : also require this scientific remedy to | keep the stomach sweet, the liver ac- tive and the bowels regular. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are wholesome and j thoroughly cleansing; do not gripe or cause nausea. Stout people say this is the one cathartic that takes away that | over-full and clogged-up feeling.

"What do you say, dear?” admon ished his mother. "I’ll be back again later,” said the boy. Keep the Tongue. Rural New Yorker, Keep it from unkindnes3. Words are sometimes wounds — not very deep wounds always, and yet they irritate. Speech is unkind sometimes when there is no unkindness in the heart; so much the worse that unintentionally pain is caused. Keep it from falsehood. It is so easy to give a false coloring, to make a statement that it may convey a mean ing different from the truth, while yet there is an appearance of truth, that we need to be on our guard. There are very many who would shrink from telling a lie who yet suffer themselves to give such inaccurate or greatly one sided statements that they really come Dyspepsia Tablets Will Relieve Your Indigestion John R.

This May 14, 1915. R. H. GILBERT. Guardian for Mrs. Florine Dickey. GEORGIA—Polk County: under the condemnation of those whose “lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.” Keep it from slander. The good re putation of others should be dear to us. Sin sho ild not suffer to go unrebuked, but it should be in accordance with the Scriptural method: “Go and tell him of his fault betwixt thee an*l him alone.” And it should be borne in mind that, what is too often considered as mere harmless gossip runs danger ously near, if it does not pass, the con fines of slander. A reputation is too sacred to be be made a plaything, even if the intent be not malicious. We have read somewhere that the cost of stopping a railroad train had been closely figured out, and that it was much greater than the expense of rjnning a train several miles. We do not know which is harder to stop, a train or a habit, but we are inclined to To the Honorable A. L. Bartlett. Judge of the Superior Court of said county: The petition of R. H.

That the said Mrs. Florine Dickey is 18 years of age, and is a married woman. 3.

Railroad Co., and known former ly as the North place;—the other of said houses and lota fronts east on street crossing said Main street, and running to the Methodist church. think the latter. We have never tried stopping the train. If trains are as hard to stop as some habits, few would ever be started. No one would dare ride on them. Never start a habit you think you may want to stop. It saves a great deal of trouble not to start it. An old Irishman, long desirous of of ficial dignity, was finally appointed mar shal in a parade on Memorial Day. Vet erans, bandmen and school children were lined along the streets of the town patiently waiting the signal to start. Suddenly Mike, on a prancing char ger, dashed up the street. After in specting the dignified procession he gave his horse a quick clip. Then, standing up in his saddle, he yelled, with a voice filled with pride and au thority “Ready now! Every one of yez kape sthep with the ho-se!” At the close of his talk before a Sun day-school the bishop invited questions. A tiny hoy, with a white, eager face, at once held up his hand. "Please, sir," said he; “why was Adam never a baby?” The bishop coughed in doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl, the eldest of several brothers and sis ters, came promptly to his aid. “Please, sir,” she added, smartly, "there was nobody to nuss him.” Wall paper originated in China in the fourth century.
