'Phone 6. f A WELL-KNOWN WOMAN. Weak, Run-down, Nervous. Atlanta, Ga.,—"I have taken Doctor Pleroe’a Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical Discovery, and having received so much good from them would say 1 that, you have not ■; exaggerated in the | least in what you f claim for them. I , first took the ‘ Fa vor ite Prescrip tion’ for a weak ened and very much run-down constitution, also an excited, nervous state. Was so excitable that X could not sleep well and when I would doBe off would easily awaken. But five bottles of the ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ gave me most decided relief. It is an excellent tonic and relieves tired and excited nerves. Later, I took the ‘Golden Medical Discovery ’ for a cough which was bo Bevere that 1 had to go to bed from the exhaustion occasioned by coughing spells. With the cough and cold I had a severe sore throat, inflamed to such a degree that I could hardly swallow. The ‘Discovery,’ is the great remedy for coughs and colds and the Favorite Prescription ’ is the' one remedy for women.”—Mrs. E. A. Wat son, 120 Current Street. Every woman who has reason to believe that backache, headache, un natural pains, low spirits, sleepless nights, irregularities or a catarrhal condition is caused by a derangement of the womanly functions, owes it to herself to speedily overcome the trouble before a general breakdown causes per manent prostration. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a non-alcoholic remedy that any ailing woman can safely take because it is prep ared from roots and herbs with pure glycerine, containing tonic properties of the. most pronounced character.

N EW YEAR, new year, now you are here, We look at you without a fear. We look at you with eager eyes. But give you neither tears nor sighs. Though strange is the new face you wear, TIb kindness we see written there. But what is kindness P Burled deep The answer, O new year, you keep. You're here with secrets all untold. Oh, what tor us your heart must hold! We dare not dream, we dare not guess, How much of gladness or distress. How much of joy, how much of pain, How muoh of loss, how muoh of gain, How muoh of bloom, how much oi blast, What skies of blue, what skies o’er- east, How muoh will vanish, how much last, How muoh of work,' how much of rest, But, O new year, you know what’s best! —Rosalie Vanderwater. ON NEW YEAR’S DAY. Thoughts on Time and What It. Pass, ing Means. All years are not alike in value to the race or the individual; neither are all days. There are black days and white days, weeks that are burdensome and weeks that are like a merry chime of bells, months that rumble with the thunder of defeat and months that re sound with the shouts of victory. There is no monotony in time. It va ries as does the landscape. In one pe riod it is as level as a western prairie, with no special experiences to mark Its passage; In another changes come and events occur which make the weeks resemble the Himalayas, mountain heights gathered .together-like a great company of giants whose shining hel mets are visible, though you have trav eled far away and stand on your hori zon line; In still another some day or week with its wondrous happenings rises from the.plain of memory like a veritable Mont Blanc, and, though sev enty years be counted In your calendar, you still see Its summit and say, “That was the hour when my new life be gan.” It may mark a great catastrophe or an unspeakable happiness, but there it stands in gloom or grandeur, and when you are about to close your eyes in the last sleep they will rest on that event which made you other than you were. *★***-**★11 i New Year Philosophy. We never complain about misfortune, but we’d like to see the chap that stole our shoes when we got so happy we danced ’em oft our feet Nothin’ at all ag’in the . old year. When we get Into a corner with our conscience the verdict Is that he done the best he could with the material he had to work on. If we meet the devil In the road this New Year we’ll change our plan en tirely. Instead of flghtin’ him with fire we'll turn the hose on the warm old sinner. On the last day of tbe year we moved ten miles from Tribulation Town and pitched our tents so close to Hallelujah hill that we’re keepln’ the angels busy hiding their crowns and harp strings.— Atlanta Constitution. Papal Bull Against Now Year’. Day. A papal edict against the celebration of New Year’s day Is said to have been issued by an ancient pope In the follow ing words: “If any one should be so audacious as to celebrate the kalends of January after the manner of the pagans or to do anything strange on account of the New Year, or to lay out in their bouses tables with lights, or to have banquets, or to go singing about tbe streets and squares, or to join In dancing parties, then all such persons should stand excommunicated and ac cursed.” Probably, however, this strong denunciation was Issued more directly against the Italians, who Im itated the fashions of the ancient Bo-, mans by Introducing dancing. Binging, sports and comedies, etc.. Into tbe holi day festivities. • What the New Year Should Mean to You I T does not seem a very long time ago that we were talk ing about the coming of a now year, with its neces sity for the balancing of all ao- counts, that wo might learn just how we stood with regard to the profits and losses of the twelve months that were about to be filed away in tne arobiveB of life os anoiont history. And now that that “new’’ year, too, has gone we are faco to face with another Now Year’s day— face to faoe with the same old problems. To many of us the year that has passed has not been par-' tioularly pleasant. To some of us, in foot, it may have brought so many frustrated hopes, so many disappointments, that wo are more than usually glad to bid it godspeed that we may hail with joy the advent of a new and, aa we fondly hope, a better opportunity. Yet, os a matter of loot, if we stop for a moment to look book over the twelve months that are now so rapidly drawing to a close, there are but lew of us who will not find that the old year has been a pretty good year after alL CELEBRATION UNIVERSAL Methods Differ Greatly, but New Year’s le Observed Everywhere. Tbe commencement of a new year bas been held In veneration by every nation of antiquity. Notwithstanding the diversity of opinion as to what is really the beginning of another year, all agree In celebrating some day of joy and festivity. The ancient Greeks began their year about tbe summer solstice, June 21; the Persians also in June, the Chinese In March, and the Abysslnians begin their year In August Among the an cient Mexicans the beginning of the new year was in February. Tbe new year’s day of the Romans previous to the age of Julius Caesar was vague and uncertain and was held generally In March or April. Caesar sent to Egypt for the celebrated as tronomer, Sosigenes, by whose assist ance tbe Julian calendnr was regulated. The last day of the old year and the first day of the new were consecrated to the god Janus by these old Ro mans; hence he Is usually represented with two faces (looking backward and forward). The ceremony of wishing one another a happy new year originated with the Romans, as did tbe custom of present ing new year gifts. In northern Europe the druids went Into tbe woods on the last night of tbe year and cut tbe mistletoe with a gold en instrument. Tills was afterward dis tributed among tbe people, who pre served It about their persons ns an am ulet against the dangers of bnttle. In Scotland New Year’s eve Is called Hogmenay or Singiu een, because In certain parts of the country tbe young men are in tbe habit of going about the country singing a long song suitable to tbe season and begging meals and mon ey. which are generally distributed among the poor.

Sc g tidy red tins, 10c; handsome pound and half-pound humi dors—and—in that classy pound crystal-glass humidor with sponge-moistener top that keeps tho tobacco so fit / Can You Chop Cotton? No, not with a shiny-handled hoe. With an axe, like you’d cut stove-wood. Can you? Of course you can—after a bale of it’s gone through our compress liese m Atlanta. Because when the cotton leaves that compress, it’s as hard as oak wood. You’d need a sharp axe to Cut into it with, like you’d need a good edge and a hefty swing to make the chips fly from a solid oak log. Thirty-two pounds to the cubic foot, same density as oak—that’s what our compress mashes cotton to. Other compresses on the average make it 22 1 -2 pounds. Know what that means to you? SAVING IN FREIGHT. BETTER PRICE. Six and a half bales from our compress can be stored in the space four and a half bales from some other press would take up. A 5,000-ton ship can carry 32,500 bales of it, instead of 22,500 of the other. Ten thousand bales more in a ship cuts the cost of the charter down. That figures up a saving of about $1 a bale in ocean freight. That’s equal to a quar ter of a cent a pound on a 400-pound bale. And that’s the same as an'advance over the market price. Same compressing saves land freight, too. Load more bales in a car. You won’t find another Webb high density compress east of Texas. That’s our kind. Two of ’em give us a capacity of 6,000 bales a day. Not only that. You save in other ways when you use our warehouse. We could have spent $75,000 and had a warehouse big as the one we’ve got. But we’re spending close to $1,000,000 to get one of the very best in the world. We’ve covered 40 acres of ground with a concrete floor and a concrete roof and everything else concrete. The drain age from that 40-acre roof is pumped into our tall storage tank. The water mains of Atlanta are connected, too. We’ve got automatic high-pressure fire sprinklers under the roof, and automatic fire alarms. Fire extinguishers everywhere. You might build a fire and not start anything but a lot of excitement. The thing’s FIREPROOF. That*8 why we can insure you for two cents a bale a month. Storage costs 25 cents a month. Handling in and out, 10 cents a bale.
