r newnan herald 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.

We guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, for all weak, run down, nervous, debilitated conditions. JOHN R. CATES DkUlS CO., Newnan, Ga, "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.” giniimiuiii!m:::jit!:Mm!!KuiiiiMm!>iiiiiiiininuini!iiimiiuiniivnMuiiimiinmnoiri:iuuiiuiiin:mm.'n::Hiniinnaiinni , Diioi!:m!iiiminiiuiiaiiiiraimmiiiii:i.'iuu!mi[!::ii!iumiu:miniin!i!ittimiis 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.
