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.

One of the ushers approached a man who appeared to be annoying those about him. “Don’t you like the show?" "Yes. indeed.” “Then why do you persist in hissing the performers?” "Why, man alive, I w-wasn’t h-biss- ing!

J. 14 1-2 Greenville st., Ouer H. C. Glover Go 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. greater record than REO MOTOR TRUCK CO., Lansing, Mich. New si an /I nto Co. DISTRIBUTORS
