ablu day. But nightfall brought a host
of tiny but unconquerable foes in the

"home, sweet borne,” was the coveted
refuge.

ville and Lutherville teams. The result,

Use the Country Church More.
Tlit* I’roirrt'iwivu Farmer.
Our Southern farmers are just be
ginning to co-operate. Formerly they
not only would not co operate when liv-
twg, but they would not co-operate even
when dead. All over the South one linds
family burying-groundl going to ruin and
"looking as if they did not believe in a
resurrection,” ns I)r. Knapp used to
say. In view of the frequent changes in
land ownership in the South, it is a
mistake to have family burying-grounds;
and we believe also that the community
spirit would be fostered by abandoning
the practice and substituting church
cemeteries. Then with unnual “clean
up days” to keep them in order, our
rtnal burying-places might be made ob
jects of beauty instead of examples of
carelessness and neglect, as is now the
general rule.
Anothei thought that cannot be too
often emphasized in this—that every
where the country church ought to he a
genuine social center for the communi
ty, a "meeting-house” indeed, and not
•imply a place to hour preaching once a
week or once a month. The writer
passed an old church the other day said
to be ISO years old. “But thire was
never a marriage in it until just a few
weeks ago,” u friend said to us as wo
passed. Why should not more country
people have church weddings, making a
marriage an occasion for celebration
and rejoicing by all the friendly neigh
borhood? Anything that helps get our
people out of the individualism of the
past and helps develop the community
spirit ought to be enconragcd.
the
Cruelty in Children.
"Thoughtless and unfeeling con
duct in children,” say-B a writer,
“which rapidly develops into downright
cruelty, is exercised first and most
largely toward the brute creation, be
cause of its helplessness and larger op
portunity. It may begin very early.
An innocent baby will, in his exuberant
happiness, squeeze a poor kitten nearly
to death, and try/to put hiB fingers into
its eyes; hut the baby's innocence is no
reason for allowing him a pastime
which gives pain to a living creature.
The kitten has rights thBt even a baby
can be taught to respect; and the baby
has the right to an early training which
will makejhim by and by a benevolent
and humane member of society, and not
a thoughtless one.”
From the societies for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children we can learn how
often little children are cruelly treated
by those who ought to protect them.
It is hut a natural sequence. When
the father was a baby he tormented the
kitten; as a boy he abused the dog; as
a large boy he bullied the smaller one,
and as husband and father he tyran
nizes over wife and children. He has
never learned to control his temper; he
has never known what it is to protect
the weak; he has never learned to re
gard the feelings of others —what can
you expect of him now? The child’s
sense of justice is keen, and he knows
when he is punished it is simply because
father or mother is in a temper and
muHt vent it upon something. Is it any
wonder, then, that the child grows
Hurly and resentful, that he learns
readily to deceive, and that the life of
the father is repeated over again in the
child?
When the Stork Arrives.
Macon Ncwh.
The doctor steps out in the hall and
says, “A line one—a girl, though.”
The proud, though somewhat anxious
father bIIowb a dicker of disappoint
ment to show on his fuce for a second,
hut Bays, "Well, I’m glad it’s a girl—I
wanted a girl myself.”
The doctor, having heard that same
thing many times, only smiles.
And the mother, bravely and silently
swallowing her disappointment when
the young lady is presented to her,
says that she, too, is glad it is a
girl. Cirls, you know, (and father and
mother both agree to this in the inevit
able after-discussion,) are much better
than hoys, easier to raise, stay at home
more, and are a greater comfort to
their parents.
It does not matter that they had
pickedjout a boy’s name. It is not men
tioned that they had planned for him to
be a great lawyer, or Governor, or
President, or something of the sort.
Father, however, continues to assert—
and we must admire him for the way
in which he hides his disappointment
from mother—that he wanted a girl all
the time.
But why this preference for the boy?
—this discrimination against the girl?
Why do the neighbors all say, depre-
eatingly, "Yes, it’s a girl!" The News
knows of no good reason at all, and in
behalf of all girl babies the world over
we enter this protest.

More Feed for Stock More Stock
to Feed.
The riwrp«8ivo Farmor.
There’s no getting nway from this
big fact: We need here in the South,
first of all, more feed for our livestock,
and then more livestock to feed.
There’s no getting round our urgent
need of more feed crops; we need these,
millions of bushels of grain and thou
sands of tons of hay, because no coun
try can ever become a livestock-produc
ing country, nor claim to be a country
of even half-way good farmers, that de
pends upon imported food and feed
stuff's. Hence, we deem it of primary
importance, in urging the production of
more livestock on Southern farms, to
couple with it the admonition to grow
an abundance of feed crops.
We must never forget that feed is of
more importance than breed, and that
in the South far too many pure-bred
animals have degenerated into worth
less scrubs through lack of adequate
feed and the belief that they could
shift for themselves. At the same time
there must be acquired the knowledge
that will enable us to properly balance
our feeds and feed them to the best ad
vantage.
Despondency Due to Indigestion.
"About three months ago when I was
suffering from indigestion, which caused
headache and dizzy spells and made me
feel tired and despondent, 1 began tak
ing Chamberlain's Tablets.” writes Mrs.
Geo, Hon, Macedon, N. Y. "This med
icine proved to be the very thing 1
needed, as one day’s treatment reli ved
me greatly. I used two bottles of Cham-
beriain’s T ibleis and they rid me of the
trouble.” Obtainable everywhere.
Belves to save the accused.
The Judge appointed the leading
lawyer of the district to represent the
darky, and at the close of the trial His ;
Honor charged the jury in such fashion
that it would have been little short of
contempt of court upon their part to
fail to acquit.
Nevertheless, the jurors, to the sur
prise of all present, especially the de
fendant, came in very promptly with a
verdict of guilty.
"Jerry.” said the Judge regretfully,
having in mind the memory of many
superior mint jutepB which Jerry had
mixed for him, “it is my painful duty
to pronounce sentence upon you. Have
you anything to say before I fix your
punishment?”
"Well, suh, Jedge,” said Jerry, “I
been sort of tuck up short and I reckin’
dey ain’t much use of me talkin’ now.
But, Jedge, I will say jest dis: I don’t
hear you no gredge. Seems lak to me
you tried fur to let me off mighty light.
And de gen’lman dat you 'pinted to
fend me, he done hiss’f proud and I
thanks him. Even de persecutin’ at
torney gimme a good word. But,
Jedge, dat jury—it suttingly is done
tore its pants wid me!”
Inform the Editor.
One of the most difficult of the edi
tor's jobs is to get facts about births,
marriages and deaths. People seem to
think ho ought to know these things
by intuition. If not that, a birth,
marriage or death is of such impor
tance in the immediate family that it
is presumed the editor will be informed
by wireless of the information. Thtn,
when the paper comes out, and no men
tion is made of the event, the editor is
blamed for not running a good news
paper, or not getting all the news. Re
member, there are a good many people
in this country. If the editor knew by
name, the family history, and the
chief events in the lives of every indi
vidual, he wouldn’t be an editor. He’d
be a demi-god, resting bis feet on a
cloud and sipping ambrosia instead of
inhabiting a broken-down office chair
and wondering where the money for
the next paper bill is coming from.
The life of the average newspaper man
is a gay one. Gathering news is Becond
nature with him, like picking his teeth
with the office pen and cussin’ the
office towel. Just the same, there’s a
limit to his omniscience. Last week
we thought of a million things of im
portance, besides a couple of hundred
thousand things unworthy of mention.
And it was a slow week. We’re anx
ious to get news for the paper, and it
won’t put you out much to drop by the
office or telephone us what’s happening
at your house. Then if the item doesn't
get in the paper you have a right to
come down and kick the stuffin' out of
the office cat. Otherwise, don’t blame
us.
“This thing of painting farm houses
is mighty catching,” said an observant
man to us the other day. ’You let Bill
Jones paint his house and have all the
passers-by admiring it, and the next
thing you know Tom Brown and Henry
Sykes say, 'Well, Bill Jones ain’t no
better than I am, and I guess my folks
are as much entitled to a painted house
as his are.' So they paint, too.” It's
a mighty good sort of contagion to be
going round. Paint pays not only in
preserving lumber, but in giving new
pride and dignity to the family in the
painted house. A farmer in a painted
house seems to rather feel that he has
lined up with the progressive folks, has
advertised himself as such, and that it's
up to hint to make good.—The Progres
sive Farmer.
No one ever appreciates the grudg
ingly granted favor.
CAN YOU DOUBT IT?
When the Proof Can Be so Easily
Investigated.
When so many grateful citizens of
Newnan testify to benefits derived
from Doan's Kidney Pills can you
doubt the evidence? The proof is not
far away—it is almost at your door.
Read what a resident of Newnan says
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Can you
demund more convincing testimony?
Mrs. M. Tompkins, 43 W. Washing
ton street, Newnan. Ga., says: "The
worst trouble I had was a dull ache in
the small of my back. I tired easily,
especially in the morning. I had fre
quent headaches, little objects ffoated
before my eyes and at times 1 became
dizzy. Colds settled on iny kidneys,
making ray back worse. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Murray's
Drug & Book Co., and they soon re-
1 eved the pains in my back and the
other symptoms of kidney trouble dis
appeared.

though it's cheap and small, than a fine
hotel or a rented hall. I want to sit on
my dinky porch and pull away at a
five-cent torch, and mark the growth of
the sparrow grass, or pull the weeds
from the garden sass. I want to tinker
around at dawn, and nail a board where
I see one gone, or tie a string to a
pumpkin vine, and know that every
thing is mine. I'd rather live in a
shackly cot, with a lop-eared cow in
the stable lot, and a barbed wire fence
and a row of trees and a swaybacked
dog and a swarm of bees, and have no
debts that would spoil my Bleep, than
have a donjon keep and a mortgage
big as the village square, though pomp
and splendor were reigning there. To
have a home and be out of debt—well,
that is truly the best scheme yet.
