Write or ’phone W. L. McCLURE Carrollton, Ga., For Reservation of Seats THI STERNAL DR AMA. As you sit by the fire with your heart’s red desire, Can you read what the flame finders write? Doesn’t each lurid coal show the ultimate goal Of the game you are playing to-night? You would know, were you wise, that as each one dies So must you, and the love that you bear; But the aBhes of gray will sleep on for aye. In the chill-enwrapped heart of despair. So be happy and gay; it may be but a day Till the fires of your being congeal, For the streaked aureole round her gossamer soul You have bartered a precious ideal, And the vows that seem true, if you only but knew. Have proved false in the agej long past— It’s the same tragic play in the same comic-way. But it’s staged with a different cast. The Longing for Riches. South Georgia Progress. Why should you care to be pestered with a large bank account or distressed with a houseful of servants? Adam and Evo had neither of tjiese, and so they called their place Paradise. Few people have learned the true secret of living well. Too many think it depends al most wholly on the condition of the pocketbook. How mistaken! Happiness is not born of material or outward conditions. It is largely the result of a purely mental process. Amid the duller threads of duty it is well to weave one brighter strand of desires. Mix a little sunshine with your daily food. You can soften the sound of cab or car on stony street by caillng to memory a bird’s song heard in the fields on a summer afternoon in child hood. It is sweeter to your soul —if you have one—than is the rumble of a rail road that you own yourself. Take a day off and go out to some cemetery, where you may reflect on the brevity of life and the insufficiency of things pertaining to the pocketbook. It is netter that you go before it comes your turn to ride out there in the big plumed hack that never hpulp its load back again. Don’t wait till >ou own your own private automobile. Go while you are able to walk and to think. From the dead you may learn much of life. Scan all the virtues inscribed upon all the headstones by loving bands,, and among them all you will not find recorded the possession'of a million dok lars, or a docked-tailed horse. The headstones tell you only of things worthwhile.* Keep Your Bowels Begalar. As everyone knows, the bowels are the sewerage system of the body, and it is of the greateet importance that they move once each day. If your bowels become constipated, take a dose of Chamberlain’s Tablets just after supper and they will correct the dis order. Obtainable everywhere. His Figures Too Low in Some Cases. The editor of an Eastern paper haa grown peevish. He has been pestered so much by peewee people desiring free “puffs” that he facetiously refers to himself aS the “Peerless Prince of Puff Purveyors.” He thinks he haB done enough for social queens, minis ters who are looking for free advertis ing, people who have legislative fadB they wish to push, and organizations which want free publicity. So he has evolved the following scale of prices for puffs: For telling the public that a man is a successful citizen, when everybody knows that be is as lazy as a hired man, $2.70. Referring to a deceased citizen as one who is mourned by the entire com munity, when he will only be missed by the poker circle, $10,13, Referring to a fellow as a man of courage, and one who will stand by his honest convictions, when everyone knows that he is a moral coward and would sell out for 30 cents, $6.21.

That Editorial Dream. Griffin Nowb and Sun. It was in the small and silent hours of the night, when all our people were peacefully reposing in the slumber of innocence. The God of Dreams hovered over the editorial couch and spoke in soft and glowing toneB of a vacation in the sweet summer time, with a brain relaxed from the tiresome labors of mental toil, and the green slopes of a gently flowing stream abounding with the fin ny tribe. And the god whispered into the edito rial ear, and this is what it said: “There are many good people who owe sundry sums on subscription. These people are honest and they mean to pay, but their mindB are engrossed in weightier affairs, to the exclusion of the editor and hie needs. But I, the God of Dreams, will lay the hand of wisdom and remembrance upon these good people, to the end that they will give of their abundant Btore the little that is justly due you. And when each good citizen has handed in the mite that is due, I, the God of Dreams, do decree that when the sunny days are come again the editor ahall leave his toil for a week of rest and in some far away spot, where mind and heart may regain strength and courage for better and greater things in the days to come. And the God of DreamB will bestow his benign approval upon all delinquent subscribers who hearken unto this sage and earnest advice.” If ever a dream comes true, the edi tor prays that this may be the one. And he has faith that it will be even so. The Court of Last Resort. Around the stove of the cross roadB grocery is the real court of last resort, for it finally over-rules all others. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been brought before this court in almoBt every cross roads grocery in this coun try, and has always a favorableverdict. It is in the country where man expects to receive full value for his moaey that this remedy is most appreciated. Ob tainable everywhere. The stool pigeon is the cheapest of all conscienceless crookj|. The traveler wants full fare at the hotels, but he doesn’t object to half fare on the railroads. England, Germany and France Agree chi one thing, if on no other. They all prohibit the sale of alum baking powders. There must be a good reason for this. It is because alum was found to be un healthful. -Royal Baking Powder is made of cream of tartar, derived from grapes, a natural food product, and contains no alum, nor other questionable ingredients.
