The thing: that goes the fartheest toward making life worth while. That coBts the least and does the most, is juBt a pleasant smile— The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fellow-men Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again. It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent— It's worth a million dollars, and doesn’t coBt a cent. There is no room for Badness when we see a cheery smile; It always has the same good look—it’s never out of style— It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;— The dimplea of encouragement are good for mo ana you. It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent— It’s worth a million dollars, and doesn’t cost a cent. CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY CO. CURRENT SCHEDULES. Jolumbus ARRIVE FROM DEPABTFOB 10:57 A.

Cram was a skillful, hard-working carpenter, with a good wife, a comfortable home, and five grown children just beginning to make their own way. Now the heart throb journalists of New York City are wondering what he will do with the fag end of life that remains to him after having served twenty years and five months in the penitentiary. He came home one October day at nine o’clock in the morning crazy drunk, and at once murdered the wife with whom he had lived happily for over thirty years. Cram was overpowered by his son, tried, and sentenced to die. The sen tence was commuted to life imprison ment. He was a model prisoner, with a perfect record, and now Governor Whitman has pardoned the old man in his eighty-sixth year. What can he do? Well, ft would be a good idea to put that up to the distillers! They rang up the profits on the whiskey that drove Cram to his crime of insane rage against his own wife. This man is a martyr to their alcoholic gospel of per sonal liberty, their false and pernicious doctrine of freedom to get crazy drunk, They ought to pension'him,—get him a quiet lodging in Borne shady side street of Peoria or Louisville or Baltimore. The old man could sign their testimoni als as to the food and tonic ’’values' of their booze. His picture would be venerable evidetce (to. the whiskey suckers) to the age of their seasoned output. Their cruel greed for gain, and more gain, was the bottom cuuse in the wreck of Geo. W. Cram’s life, and if there is any mercy or justice in the booze venders they will look after their victim. Some day we will have dis tillers’ liability enforced. The Trials of a Farmer - Who Moved to Town.. In Farm and Fireside is the story/ of a farmer who sold his property to {live in. the city, because his city friendB “wore good clothes, bad money jingling in their pockets, went to the movieB, belonged to the clubs, and enjoyed a yearly vacation." He found, however, that the dity man pays dearly for these luxuries. ‘We came to know.” he Baid, “that it was just as hard for the city man to get up at seven o’clock in the morn ing as it was for the country man to get up at five. Why so? Because he must not relax; he is ever on duty. He must smile at this person and that per son. He dare not notice anyone's pe culiarities, or oddities, or unreasonable- is. The result is, he must find his relaxation in the evening; therefore the family rarely gets to bed before ten or eleven o’clock, and Beven in the morning finds him just as sleepy and far lesB refreshed than five found him an the farm. “We found going to work for some body else every day in the year, ex cept Sunday, and perhaps a two weeks’ vacation, under somebody else as man ager, didn't exactly suit our country spirit of freedom. We csme to know that our friends saved scarcely a cent; and, furthermore, one couldn’t exactly see how they were extravagant. In the city it seems unbelievably hard to separate luxuries from necessities.’’ Get Bid of a Backing La Grippe Cough—It Weakens. For .the severe racking cough that comes with la grippe, Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound is wonderfully heal ing and soothing. It eases the tight ness over the chest, raises the phlegm easily and helps the> racking, tearing cough that is so exhausting and weak ening. R. G. Collins, ex-postmaster, Barnegat, N. J.-, says: "Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound soon stopped the severe la grippe cough that completely exhausted me. It can’t be beat.” J. F Lee Drug Co. Leap Year. Griflln Now and San. Even in the midst of war’s alarms and the busy upbuilding of business, the romantic fact must not be over looked that the new year which opened the other day is “Leap Year.” From now on the bachelor is supposed to be on the defensive; at least, the joke- smiths will have it so. The weaker and more angelic box may now forget the customary shynesB of their kind and put the reverse lever on conventions by popping the question to the faint hearted. They may pop and they may not; they may win a hubby and they may not. Statistics fail to show the results achieved in other years. But there will be never a lack of topic for talk during the year. Perhaps it will sound like a relief from the weath er talk, but it is bound to be monoto nous before 366 days have expired. Why and when it became a year for the “female of the species" to propose matrimony to the male aB an inalien able right, without Iobb of maidenly dignity, is not set down in tradition. Possibly it was inspired far back by a feeling of gallantry, ordaining that the girls should be given a chance at play ing the principal role in the lottery of marriage. Or perhaps, as the skepti cal are wont to think, it is just a huge joke in itself. Parents should be cautiouB about giving their children permission to stay out of school. Every day out is a day lost to the school work—they cannot make it up. They will soon be behind and want to stop school—and find fault with the teacher- say she is partial, etc., when all the time the parents are to blame. . Our Jitney Offer—This and 6c.

J. F. Lee Drug Co. Hat That Can’t Be Seen. Philadelphia Ledsor. Among the American fashions of latest, annunciation is the invisible hat, which seems to be no more than a few roBe petals and a gauzy filament be tween. Mere man is rarely able to describe a woman’s hat, though It be a part of the subtle enginnery that achieves his captivation. The new hat is a symbol of, the in visible halo which—as “every woman knows”—is a part of the dim and neb ulous aura of femininity that envelops, her being, and fragantly bespeaks “the sweet presence of good diffused.” Fashions wax and wane, serenely ob livious of light raillery or caustic cen sorship, and what one decade extols as beautiful iB laughed out of court by the next. And still "the eternal femi nine” rests its eternal puissance large ly upon those mysterious devices of the adornment of the person that pro vide at once the delight and the dis traction of mankind. Have sages, statesmen and Napoleons of finance ever noted that the price of the hat is always Inversely proportioned to its superficial area? The only objection to the wholly invisible hat is likely to be its prohibitive cost. Constipation and Indigestion. “I have used Chamberlain’s Tablets and must say they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indiges tion. My wife also used them for in digestion and they did her good,” writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington, N. C. Obtainable everywhere. So prosperous is New Zealand that a war tax may not be necessary this year. AFTER GRIPPE Mrs, Findley Made Strong By Vinol Severy, Kans.—“The Grippe left me In a weak, nervous, run-down condition.

Vinol. our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, sharpens the appetite, aids diges tion, enriches the blood, and .builds up natural strength and energy. JOHN K. CATES DRUG.CO., Ncwnan. Ga.
