THE DYING SUMMER.
Memphis Commercial-A (• penl.
Summer id dyinjr. I >esth comf-s slow-
ly and Burely. Drowsing insects softly
chant their miBerere. Wayside weeds
bow their tired heads in sorrow. Tall
trees stand solemnly erect, their
withering leaves fluttering apprehen
sively because of the approaching end.
Nature seems to hesitate, although
her laws are inexorable. .She seems
loath to bid farewell to the months of
peace and plenty. She seems sadly
looking forward to the unwelcome
weeks of winter weeks of wind ^nd
rain snd cheerlcsaness.
Early morning mistp, gray anti
gloomy, heavy and disconsolate, drape”
the fields and open spaces with dewy'
dampness. The evening sun, red
eyed and reluctant, seeks sanctuary in
the shadows of the western clouds.
The pall of purple night hangs heavily
about the sleeping world —hangs pa
tiently and pathetically. Through in
definite vistas the pale moon of au
tumn peeps plaintively down upon the
vanishing summer.
The love song of the birds has
changed to a requiem snd is softly
sobbed ns each early morning brings
the d< uth of summer nearer.
We look upon the scene with sorrow.
The very midday silence of the woods
is ominous.
If. is nature’s history repeating it
self. It is the story of the year. We
have been chilled by the winds of win
ter. We have been aroused by the
blasts of March, have sighed expectant
ly because of April's tears, have been
suffused with the blushes of May, and
inspired with the sunny smile of June.
Then came the summer, the fertile,
fruitful, fecund season now so near at
an end.
Nature’s laws are inscrutable. They
apply alike to the lives of men and wo
men, to the sphere of animals and birds,
to the world of living things.
In the spring of youth man must
marry woman, must produce and mul
tiply. In the summer of their muturity
they watch the perpetuation of the
race continue. In the winter of old
age they enter upon their long sleep.
When summer dies the world sleeps,
to awaken in the spring.
Soon great oaks will begin to misB
their leaves. They will toss their
naked limbs and grieve for the vest
ments they huve lost.
The thistle is freighting every pass
ing breeze with her argosies of down,
and each contains a seed to he planted
sometime and somewhere.
Acorns full, are buried beneath the
turf, only to give life to the future oaks.
The sumach holds aloft her cup of
spice, and in each pungent cup there is
the germ of another life.
limy and gaunt, dusty and drooping
weeds tell of the dying summer. Their
mission is near an end. They have ful
filled nature's decree. They will leave
their seed to multiply when the fecund
breath of spring warms the awakening
world.
Fields and gardens have given their
best for the good of man.
Peace prevails. The end is near.
The death of summer will soon he re
corded in a glory of color.
Yes, summer is dying. The sound of
insect chatter has become subdued.
The dithyramlic chorus of the cricket
and katydid is still shrilly heard as day
departs and dusk seeks concealment be
neath the cloak of night.
Sparrows chatter among themselves.
The woods no longer cheerfully echo
bird songs. Even our feathered friends
feel the approaching dissolution. The
air is tilled with farewells.
The death of summer will he a death
of glory. Her shroud will he autumn's
richest weaving, of the finest fabric
snd most brilliant colors. There will
he the royal purple of the fox grape,
the fulgurant fire of the crimson dog
wood, the brilliant gold and scarlet of
the maple, the pale pink and yellow of
the sassafras, the wine and russet of
the black gum. Nature's color scheme,
m perfection, will crown the death of
summer.
The golden rod will solemnize the
E. G. Hudson's Statement.
E. G. Hudson, Chamhlee, Ga., writes:
“Last year 1 bought and tried Foley’s
Cathartic Tablets. 1 have tried many
cathartics, but for a thorough cleans
ing movement of the bowels, without
the slightest inconvenience or sickness,
1 believe the Foley Cathartic Tablet the
best on earth It’s the perfect cathar
tic. with no bad effects.” Everybody
suffers occasionally from indigestion «*r
constipation, so Mr. Hudson's experi
ence is worth remembering. Stout per
sons soy these tablets relieve that
“heavy” feeling. J. F. Leo Drug Co.
end with a gentle wave of her dazzling
fronds. Chrysanthemums will crowd
through autumn's opening door. Dah
lias, their waxen petals wet with early
dew. will dry their tears when warmed
by the early sun. Star-eyed cosmos
will offer tribute. Wild clematis, a
rosary of white, is being suspended
j around flip throat of the dying season.
Tall reeds and the bronze gl asses of the
swarnp tower like sacred candles. The
incense of lavender and thyme fill the
air with fragrance.
The coming death of rummer fore
shadows another season. It will leave
an inspiration of new lift. The future
will be filled with hope. A legacy of
promise will be left as the heritage of
mankind.
To Begin Campaign Against Boll
Weevil.
Atlanta, Sept. 27.— A special boll
weevil campaign meeting will be held
at Newnan on Thursday, Oct. 7, at 10
a. m., under the auspices and direction
of the Georgia State Board of Entomo
logy.
The department hns planned this
campaign to begin on Oct. 4, and to
cover every county in and on the bor
der of Georgia’s present infested dis
trict.
Two trips have been arranged in
automobiles. These trips will be under
the direct auspices of the State Board
of Entomology, and the automobiles
will bear the State Board’s placard.
In each car there will be a represen
tative of the State Board of Entomo
logy who will tell what must be done
to ward oir boll weevil damage; a prom
inent business man who will diseu -s the
"Relation of the Boll Weevil to Busi
ness;” a man from the IJ. S. Agricul
tural Extension Bureau to speak on
“Diversification,” and a representa
tive of the Georgia Department of
Agriculture who will discuss live stock.
At different points on these trips the
respective parties will be joined by the
Commissioner of Agriculture, and the
president of the State Horticultural
Society. Two stops will he made each
day where practicable, and literature
on the boll weevil, diversification and
live stock will he distributed.
Trip No. 1 will include the following
points: Fairburn, LaGrange, Jones’
Gross Loads, Cntaula, Columbus. Cus-
seta, Lumpkin, Georgetown, Ft.
Gaines, Cuthbert, Dawson, Edison,
Blakely, Colquitt, Bainbridge, Cairo,
Valdosta, Sparks, Moultrie, tjuitman,
Camilla, Newton, Albany, and Sylves
ter.
Trip No. 2 will include the following
points: Douglasville for one day,
Buchanan for one day, Carrollton for
one day, Newnan, Franklin, Greenville,
Lalbotton, Buena Vista, Preston, Klla-
ville, Oglethorpe, Americas, Leesburg,
Cordele, Vienna, Rochelle for one day,
Ashburn, Tifton, Fitzgerald, and
Ocilla.
The boll weevil is now’ causing dam
age amounting to §100,000,000 to the
cotton crop of the South annually, and
is gradually spreading. Georgia ha3 an
opportunity unequaled by that of any
other section that has yet been in
fested, to curtail the damage to next
year’s crop. The present crop has
been made. If every cotton-grower
will give active co-operation he can get
rid of practically all the weevils on his
farm and thus materially reduce the
damage to next year's crop.
Every bit of cotton should be picked
as early as possible, and then the stalks
should be cut and put under at least -1
inches of dirt, or burned. This will de
stroy the weevils before they get out
of the cotton field into winter quarters.
If this is done, there will be compara
tively few of them to begin the attack
on next year's crop.
Pay the Debts First.
Albany Herald.
This talk about holding cotton for
lfi cents a pound or more may be
all very well for the man who owns his
cotton and is out of debt, but when a
farmer who is in debt can get 12 cents
for his cotton, the best thing for him
to do is to sell his product promptly
and pay his debts.
The man who is free from debt is in
position to hold his cotton until it suits
him to sell it. It is different with the
person who is in debt. The debts are
drawing interest, and the expense of
holding cotton is considerable. There
is also no small element of risk in it.
Twelve cents a pound for it is not so
had, and even though the chances
are that the market may be a little
better after awhile, the safest plan
would seem to be. taking all things
into consideration, to sell enough to
pay the debts and stop interest and
other expenses. This thing of holding
cotton is u mighty uncertain proposi
tion anyhow, and the man who is in
debt is in no position to run the risk,
especially when lie can convert his cot
ton into money at 12 cents a pound or
better, aa is the case to-day.
His Rest Was Broken.
O. D. Wright. Rosemont, Neb., w rites:
"For about six months 1 was bothered
with shooting and continual pains in the
region of my kidneys. Mv rest was
broken nearly every night by frequent
action of my kidneys. I was advised by
mv doctor to try Foiev's Kidney Fills,
and one 5CI-cent bottle made a well man
of me. 1 can always recommend Fo
ley's Kidney Fills, for I know they are
good.” This splendid remedy for back
ache. rheumatism, sore muscles and
swollen join's contains no habit-form
ing drugs. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Appomattox To-day.
I New York Tim®*. V
j The village of Appomattox, the place
I of Lee’s surrender jo years ago, hts
fallen into ruin and has nearly disap
peared. Three house- have survived
fire, storm anil neglect, but even those
are warped and sagging, arid the
promise is that they, tao, will soon rot
and that weeds, followed by scrub pine,
will overrun their site. Two of these
houses have long been abandoned. The
other one is occupied by the large
family of a small farmer, stranger in
that part of Virginia and unfamiliar
with and indifferent to the great mem
ories that cluster around that tragic
ground.
At the time of the surrender the vil
lage was the seat of Appomattox coun
ty. it was then, after four years of
war, a ramshackle, crossroads hamlet.
A cluster of dwellings, mostly of wood,
a livery stable and a store or two were
built around the sleepy court-house
square. The court building was burn
ed down 20 years ago, and to-day the
desolate court-house square is cumber
ed with ashes, charred plaster and
hattered bricks.
Whether or not it be true, as a me
morial tablet records, that in Appomat
tox was "fired the la3t volley”—there
were so many last volleys as weil as so
many “youngest soldiers of the Civil
War”—the place is hallowed ground in
the story of America, and it is un
pleasant to know that fire and flood and
vandal hands and public indifference
and want of care have brought to the
edge of desolation a spot whose name
so appeals to North and South, there
united in durable peace. “Why isn’t
Appomattox to-day a literal shrine as
well as a historical shrine?” asks a
Richmond contemporary. The pitiful
case of Appomattox invites the sympa
thetic attention of those who treasure
the monuments of our history. It is a
monument of peace.
None Equal to Chamberlain's.
“I have tried most ail of the cough
cures and find that there is none equal to
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has
never failed to give me prompt relief,”
writes W. V. Harner, Montpelier, Ind.
When you have a cold give this remedy
a trial and see for yourself what a
splendid medicine it is. Obtainable
everywhere.
Reasons Why You Should Buy at
Home.
The reasons why you should buy at
home—we are talking to the housewife
now. Suppose your husband is a phy
sician, who has located in your city to
give his skill and knowledge to the peo
ple, and contributing, through taxation,
to the building and support of your
schools, churches and other municipal
enterprises if your neighbor needs a
doctor, how would you feel if your hus
band was ignored and one brought from
a distant city?
If your husband is a dentist, would
you like the people of vour city to ig
nore him and go elsewhere for treat
ment?
If your husband is a lawyer, a me
chanic, or skilled in any other trade or
profession, isn’t it perfectly natural
for you to expect his services to be
sought, engaged and paid for at home.J
No matter what your husband’s busi
ness or interests may be. you expect
the patronage of your own townspeople.
This is natural, and it is right. If you
buy from a mail-order house, ignoring
your local merchant, the home mer
chant is unquestionably justified in feel
ing exactly as you feel in such cases
as those cited above.
A hundred years ago it was the cus
tom to produce right in the home most
of the things required for home use.
But as your city grew, bringing wealth
and greater comforts to your house
holders, stores were established where
all could trade conveniently and econo
mically. To-day, therefore, the retail
merchants of your city are established
foe the sole purpose of supplying the
people with the things they need at a
fair price.
Biliousness and Constipation.
It is certainly surprising that any wo
man will endure the miserable feelings
caused by biliousness and constipation,
when relief is so easily had and at so
little expense. Mrs. Cnas. Feck, Gates,
N. Y., writes: "About a year ago I
used two bottles of Chamberlain's Tab
lets and they cured me of biliousness
and constipation.” Obtainable .every
where.
And suppose, after all, that death
does end all. Next to eternal joy, next
to bein^ forever with those we loved
and who have loved us—next to that, is
to be wrapped in the dreamless drapery
of eternal peace. Next to eternal life
is eternal sleep. Upon the shadowy
shore of death the sea of trouble casts
no wave. Eyes that have been cur
tained by the everlasting dark will nev
er know again the burning touch of
tears. Lips touched by eternal silence
will never speak again the broken words
of grief. Hearts of dust do not break.
The dead do not weep. Within the
tomb no veiled and weeping sorrow
sits. And in the ray less gloom is
crouched no shuddering fear.—Robert
G. Ingersoll.
Worth Their Weight in Gold.
"1 have used Chamberlain's Tablets
1 and found them to be just as represented,
j a quick relief for headache, dizzy spells
1 and other symp:oms denoting a torpid
liver and a 'disordered condition of the
digestive organs. They are worth their
weight in gold.” writes Miss Clara A.
Driggs, Elba, N. Y. Obtainable every
where.

WHY MOTOR TRUCKS?
WHY
REO?
The motor truck business was necessarily of slow growth. Not that the superiority' of the
motor vehicle—when once perfected —was unrecognized. On the contrary, every' automobile
maker realized from the first that this would eventually become the most important branch of
the motor industry. But the problems were so many and the conditions to be met so exacting,
the more prominent makers hesitated to engage in it —and none did until reasonably sure they'
had the right thing.
As in every other line of business, the inexperienced rushed in where the better informed
hesitated. Concerns with money to lose and reputations to be jeopardized were chary about
offering for sale trucks of which they' could not yet be sure.
On the other hand, the demand was an irresistible temptation to the more adventurous, the
inventive and the inexperienced; and so it happened that within a short time there were more
than three hundred so-called truck manufacturers (90 per cent, of them merely assemblers of
parts procured hither and yon) in the field.
The mortality has been great—and will be greater. The cost to users of buying such trucks
backed by such guarantees (?) cannot be computed.
Reo being one of the most prominent and successful makers of automobiles, was one of
those to watch, to experiment, but to hold aloof. We could not afford to compete with such a
product or with such methods as those with little money, and no reputation at stake, were
practicing.
On the other hand we felt that we were peculiarly well equipped to make trucks—in fact,
to take the lead in that branch of the industry, and the product had been developed to the point
where it was a dependable machine.
Reo factory facilities; Reo engineering experience; and especially the big broadspread Reo
sales and service organization, gave us advantages over all others.
Reo factory facilities enable us to manufacture a better car for less. This is a prime re
quisite, for, being a strictly business proposition, there is no room for extravagant margins in
the price of trucks.
So the Reo manufacturing facilities gave us an important advantage over newer concerns
in that important regard—low cost, and consequent low price.
Reo engineering is at the same time the best guarantee of stability, and the best advertis
ing for Reo trucks.
If you were asked, what quality you have always considered first in Reo automobiles you
would say—dependability. Reo cars have always been reliable cars. Beginning away back in
the dark ages of the industry Reo cars covered themselves with glory in reliability runs. The
transcontinental record is still held by a Reo—never has any car made a
that of the great old two-cylinder Reo. To say Reo is to say reliability.
