THE WEATHER.
Tho weather ib like a woman in
many ways. It ia more changeable
than the most fickle of them. It can
be aa sharp as a woman’s tongue, bb
chilling an her scorn, and pleasant as
her brightest smile. But the most
marked similarity between the weather
and a woman is that they are the
chief subjects of conversation among
the men. Even as far back aB Noah
the weather was talked about, and at
tho present It is the refuge of the
timid beau, it begins the morning gos
sip over the back fence between neigh'
bore, and It is the first topic discussed
by the men standing on the street
corners. Just as the woman is blamed
for everything that goes wrong in the
household, bo is the weather blamed
for most of man’s misfortunes. The
man with the rheumatism thinkB that
if tho weather didn’t change so much,
his rheumatism might get .better.
And the farmer who spends more of
his time at the country store than in
his fields believes that all of bis bad
cropB are caused by the weather. The
weather is indeed monarch of all it sur
veys. It can atop all of man’s greatest
inventions, his largest shipB, hlB
strongest aeroplanes, his moBt power
ful locomotives, and even his Fordl

THE COURT SQUARE OF NEWNAN TWEN
TY-FIVE •YEARB AGO.
About 26 years ago the old court
house occupied the center of the pub
lic square. One of the moBt discussed
questions of that day was “How are
we going to keep the negroes from
playing marbleB ip tho court-house
yard?” At each corner of the yard
was a well, from which whites, ne
groes and animals alike drank. It was
said by visitors that once they got on
the square they could hardly get oiT,
for every corner looked the Bame to
them. Around the square were such
business firms bb Brewster’s Beef
Market, Origin S. Olmstead, Lyndon’s
P. F, Cuttino, dry goods and grocer
ies. Last, but not leaBt, was the un
dertaking establishment of Thompson
& Bro. One of the moBt popular
places in Newnan wbb the restaurant
of Jim Reid, home of bird and goose
suppers.ATho poatofflce, in charge of
R. F. Milner, was one of the most fre
quented places in Newnan—except,
possibly, the saloons. It was said of
Mr. Milner that he could tell a man if
he had any mail without looking, and
sometlmesl he would cal) acroBB the
street to tell a person that he had re
ceived some. The Virginia House,
kept by Miss Yancy, wbb the home of
most of|the bachelors of Newnan. On
one corner of the square could be seen
(and heard) the genial Geo. Broom,
who, as usual, waB spinning one of hiB
yarns, the principal part of which was
his famoUB laugh. Then, aa now,
Col. A. R. Burdett could be Been talk
ing to a group of farmers. At another
place could be seen Dr. Peddy and Dr.
North talking with Dr. Long, or per
haps Dr. ReeBe, who had just come
along in his buggy, drawn by hiB old
black mare. Almost the only man in
Newnan who ever wore a high silk
hat morning, noon and night, was
Prof. Wells, who, although small in
stature, was the possessor of a power
ful voice. Among the colored celebri
ties were old Cotton, the champion
watermelon-eater; Nath. Willcoxon,
who could put almost every letter in
the alphabet Into one word; and old
Telfair Wortham, champion pea-eater
and liquor drinker of the county.

ANOTHER BATTLE OF THE BOOKS.
Such a fierce and lasting battle be-
' tween books had never raged before.
Bistory stood forth boldly and said:
“I am quite sure, worthy brothers
and sisters, that of all of you I am the
most beneficial to the human race, be
cause from the beginning of the world
T have been spreading civilization."
“But I am a greater favorite,”
boasted English proudly, “for am I
not used by the greater part of the
civilized worl_d?”
"Well, you need not be so conceited,
for where would you be, English,
without me?” And Latin made herself
victorious for the moment by tblB re
tort.
Here the struggle ended, unti
French, followed by Physics and her
companion, Mathematics, came upon
the scene, and then the struggle was
resumed in earnest.
“It is ridiculous for you all to at
tempt to argue in this way,” thundered
Physics, “for I treat of the world of
which you all pretend to. be promo
ters of civilization.”
"Am I to be left entirely out?" and
French threw herself into the battle;
"for,” she continued disdainfully,
am Bure that Latin is not the only
factor of English.”
"What would you all do if it were
not for me to sum you up?” said
Mathematics, the last foe to speak.
Becoming weary of the struggle, - all
decided to come to some agreement.
Just then I awoke from this curioUB
dream, and after staring for an inBtant
at the pile of books 1 thought, “Well,
all of you are of great importance, and
each of you are necessary to complete
an education. —Willella Murphey.

One of the great needs of LaurenB
county to-day, from an economic stand
point, is a greater number of email
farmers owning their own land. The
small farmer who owns the place he
lives upon will make a better citizen
in every way, nine times out of ten,
than the shiftless, transient renter.
The letter haB no special interest in
the welfare of his community, because
he knAwe he will probably be living in
some other community the following
year. The property owner, on the
other band, knowing he will continue
to live in the same community, will
interest himself in better schools, bet
ter churches, better roads, and better
metbodB of farming. The large land-
owners of this county would render
their country a patriotic service by
cutting these large bodies of land into
one and two-horee farms end offering
them at reasonable rates and on accom
modating terms to the small farmers
who are now renting lend.—Dublin
