NEWNAN. FRIDAY, NOV. 19,
Played Too Rough.
Kansas City Star.
A negro in a Southern town had been
condemned to die. The day of the
hanging came and Raatua was taken to
the scaffold in the cburt-house yard.
The hood was slipped over his head and
the noose adjusted.
, Just as the sheriff was about to
spring the trap a cry of “Fire!” wbb
heard, and smoke was seen coming from
the court- house windows. The officials
and spectators, forgetting their taBk,
rushed to help fight the blaze. Any
way, RastuB was tied and could not es
cape.
During the fire another negro wan
dered into the court-house yard and
passed the scafford. He thought he rec
ognized a familiar form standing on it
and proceeded to find out.
“Hello, dar! Is dat you, RaBtus?”
“I’se Rastus.’’
"What is you doin’ on dat flatform?”
“I’se a movin’ pictur’ actor now,
Sam.”
"A movin’ pictur’ actor?”
"Yas, sah; a movin’ pictur’ actor.”
“Is movin’ pictur’ actin’ hard work,
Rastus?”
“It's softer dan eatin’ watermelon.”
“Is yoa paid well?”
"Gets $5 every day for workin' a
hour or two.”
“Rastus, youse a friend of mine, isn’t
you?”
"I sho’ is, Sam.”
“D' n if de white folks what run dis
movin’ pictur’ actor business wants an
other actor you tell ’em about me, Ras
tus.”
“You can come on up here and take
my job right now, Sam. I’se tired of
movin’ pictur’ actin’ for to-day. Be
sides, I got to spend the money I’se
made already.”
Sam mounted the steps and released
Rastus from his bonds. Rastus in turn
prepared the unsuspecting Sam for
hanging. Then skipped. A few minutes
later the sheriff returned. He saw a
negro standing patiently on the scaf
fold. Without further ado he sprung
the trap.
Fortunately for Sam the rope was old
and broke under the sudd"n strain. It
rolled Sam into the duBt of the court
house yard. He wrenched his hands
loose and jerkgd the hood from his
head. Then rolling his eyes around and
rubbing his neck, he said:
“You ad white folks can take back
your old job. You all’s too rough.”
"Mary!”
Father’s voice rolled down the
stairs and into the dim and silent par
lor.
“Yes, papa, dear.”
"Ask that young man if he has the
time.”
A moment ef silence.
"Yes, George has his watch with
him.”
“Then ask him what is the time."
“He says it is 11:48, papa.”
“Then ask him if he doesn’t think it
about bedtime.”
Another moment of silence.
“He says, papa,” the silvery voice
announced impersonally, “he says that
he rarely goes to bed before 1, but it
seems to him that it is a matter of per
sonal preference merely, and that if
he were in your place he would go now
if he felt sleepy."
OHIO WOMAN’S WISH
For Tired, Weak, Nervous Women
Belief on taine, Ohio.—“ I wish every
tired, weak, nervous woman could have
Vinol, for I never spent any money in
my life that did me so much good as
that I spent for Vinol. I was weak,
tired, worn out and nervous, and Vinol
made me strong, well and vigorous after
everything else had failed to help me,
and I can now do my housework with
pleasure.”—Mrs. J. F. Lamborn.
We guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic, for all weak, run
down, nervous, debilitated conditions.

"Are you sisters?” asked the census-
taker of two colored women who sat on
the tiny porch of their cabin.
“No, sir,” one of the women replied,
"us ain’t no blood kin. You see” —
pointing to a rather pretentious-looking
house on the hill—"hits dis er way:
Sanders up dar in de white house, he
married me fu’st; den Sis’ Liza heah
cum ’long, an’ he ’vosted me an’ put
me out heah in de cabin so he could
marry her. But bimeby he fetched her
down de hill to de cabin to make room
for dat young gal Cora, he dun mar
ried. No, sah, us ain’t no blood kin—I
guess we’s wives-in-law.”
Made Over Again.
Mrs. Jennie Miner, Davidson, Ind.
writes: “I can truthfully say Foley’s
Cathartic Tablets are the beBt I ever
used. They are so mild in action. I feel
like I have been made over again.”
Good health haB no greater enemy than
constipation. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets
keep the stomach sweet, liver active,
bowels regular, and banishes bilious
ness, sick headache, sour stomach.
Stout persons welcome the light, free
feeling they give. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
A widely-known New Jersey doctor
was playing golf with a widely-known
New Jersey minister.
“Well, what are we playing for,”
asked the doctor.
“Why, it’s rather out of my line to
put up anything,” replied the minister.
“Well,” insisted the doctor, "we
ought to play for something; so I’ll put
up a pill and you put up a prayer.”

Do You Eat
The Best?
Why punish your stomach by eating inferior
food when THE BEST is just as ECONOMICAL?
Every careful housewife knows that THE BEST
in foodstuffs costs no more than the poorer grades
of goods, for the very same reason that THE
BEST has VERY LITTLE or NO WASTE, and
therefore lasts longer than the inferior article that
is sold for a cent or so less.
My stock of Groceries is new, clean, well-assorted, and
comprises the very best and purest goods that money will
buy. I give careful attention to all orders, my prices are
reasonable, and I deliver promptly. Try me with an order
and let me show you.
I am grateful for the generous patronage given me since
I opened for business on my own account, and a continu
ance of these favors will be much appreciated.

Mrs. T. Neureuor, Eau Claire, Wis.,
writes: “Foley’s Honey and Tar Com
pound cured my boy of a very severe
attack of croup after other remedies
had failed. Our milkman cured his
children of whooping cough. I
recommend it to every one, as we
know from our own experience that it
is a wonderful remedy for coughs,
colds, croup, and whooping cough.”
Mrs. D. Gilkeson, Youngstown, O.,
writes: "My little girl had a severe
cold and coughed almost continuous
ly. I tried lots of cough reme dies, but
she didn’t get any better. My sister
recommended Foley’s Honey ami Tar
Compound to me. The first dope, 1
gave her relieved the inflammation
in her throat, and after using one
bottle the cough left her.”
This sterling old remedy has been
in use for years and is just as effi
cient for adults as for children. It
gives relief for irritated and tickling
throat, tight and sore chest, grippe
and bronchial coughs.
