To Our Farmer Friends:
Your interest is now, and has ever been, our
interest. We have been with you and stood by
you in times of depression, and have rejoiced with
you when success has crowned your efforts. We
are still with you, and ready to serve you with any
thing you may need in the way of staple Dry
Goods, Shoes, etc. We purchased these goods be
fore the recent advance on the lines named, and, as
heretofore, we are willing to divide our profits with
you.
We have a full line of STAR BRAND SHOES, guaranteed
all leather;—and this is saying a good deal for these times,
when leather is so high.
Ask people who have worn the STRONGER THAN THE
EAW Shoes. We have them in all sizes and styles, for men,
women and children.
Our stock of GROCERIES is always complete. In fact,
we carry everything needed to feed man and beast. By the
way, we claim that our DeSOTO FEOUR is the best on the
market for the price.
Now, a word as to sowing a crop of small grain this fall.
Flour is high now, and going higher; so be certain to sow
some wheat, and a full acreage in oats also, because feedstuffs
of all kinds are bound to be higher next year. This is the
best plan we know to fight the boll weevil.
Of course, the cotton crop is short, but the price is good.
Fortunately, therefore, everybody can pay out and have some
money to spend. We invite you to come to the store that
can supply your wants—everything to clothe and fetd man
and beast.
We have Purple Straw Seed Wheat, and Fulghum and Ap
pier Seed Oats—all home-growfl.
Come to see us. You are always welcome.

A FAILURE.
They called him Failure; all the great throng
uf bold, successful men. and idlers told
Beneath their breath, the sorry talc and long.
Of futile losses. But one heart of Gold
Romembereti other days—his eager youth.
His charm, his promise, all his careless truth.
Remembored, too. the hampered race he ran.
His handicap of care beyond his years—
A boy, slight, crude, with duties of a man;—
A man restrained from ranking with his poers,
His gift-a touch of Genius, heavon sent.
His tragedy—its undevelopment!
Ah, ye brave Sons of Fortune, favoring.
Forget your splendid scorn of Unsuccess!
Not always does the finger fit the ring
Nor heart of hero beat 'neath kingly dress;
A failure—granted! But you in his place.
Cleon failure might have tarnished by Disgrace.
Woman Against Woman.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Since the days of the ancients woman
has been arrayed agpinst woman—not
openly, perhaps, but in her heart of
hearts. There have been lasting loves
between women, loves sincere and
beautiful; and to contemplate woman’s
love for woman is a reverent subject to
consider.
But such loves are exceptional.
Women may on the surface be inti
mate friends, but scratch the flesh and
the purring of the tiger will be heard.
The Magdalen finds but little sym
pathy in the hearts of her virtuous al
ters. No one knows like a woman how
to say things that prick like pins,
which burn like acid, and which leave
scars that outlive a lifetime.
“A man without religion,” writes
Miss Evans, “is to be pitied, but a
Godless woman is a horror above all
things.”
The lowly Nazhrene called upon the
one without guilt to cast the first
stone. It was He who took the part
of the fallen sister, yet how many are
willing to follow His Christian ex
ample to-day! The fallen woman is
looked upon with curiosity, but when
brought in touch with others of her
sex the prompting of her sister’s heart
is to lift her skirts aside and let her
pass without a smile of sympathy.
How many women are born too finely
organized in sense and soul for the
highway they must walk with unshod
feet?
Life is adjusted to the wants of the
stronger sex. There are plenty of tor
ments for the woman to face in her
journey through life. Women are, or
should be, creatures of sympathy.
They ought to be more generous to
each other. There are usually close
friendships among women which can be
shattered in the fraction of a second
when a man crosses their path. Friend
ships of a lifetime have been destroyed
because of a man.
The best of women are invariably
more or less suspicious of each other.
The best of friends at times cannot
help saying, with softest smiles, the
most cutting things. When a woman
desires most to hurt another woman,
like the subtle tabby she purrs the
loudest.
Some are so uncharitable as to think
that all women are bad, and yet there
are others so credulous as to feel that
all women are good. All will grant
her corporal frame the more wonder
ful, but there will always remain a
doubt in the human mind as to woman’s
fidelity to woman.
It was Victor Hugo who sized up
woman in the trenchant sentence:
“Men are woman’s playthings; woman
is the devil’B.”
Unkind, perhaps, but sometimes we
are persuaded to believe that the
French philosopher, inconoclastic it
may be true, was right. We have
often heard of man’s inhumanity to
man, but it is mild when compared to
woman’s inhumanity to woman.
The intuitions of woman are better
and readier than those of man. She
decides more quickly, too frequently
without reason, but any woman who is
honest with herself and is honeBt to
others will candidly tell you that the
most dangerous acquaintance a married
woman can make is a female confidant.
The world is a book of women.
Whatever knowledge they may possess
is more commonly acquired by obser
vation than by reading.
State Tax Commissioner Thanks
“The Herald.”
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30, 1916.
Editors Herald, Newnan, Go:—Gen
tlemen: I am in receipt this morning
of a clipping from The Herald of Sept.
15, entitled “The Tax Equalization
Law.” I am writing to personally and
officially thank you for the editorial.
Ab you very properly say, the tax
equalization low is in its infancy, but
it has accomplished, as you credit it
with having done, much good. The de
ductions and conclusions which you
reach with reference to an honest tax
law, fairly administered, are unques
tionably correct. The law has placed
on the tax digestB of this State already
approximately $90,000,000 which would
never have reached the digests except
through its enforcement, and has kept
it there during the past two years—the
hardest in the history of the State-
producing a revenue of nearly half a
million dollars. I am satisfied, from
the reports reaching this office, that
but for the tax equalization Act the
shrinkage of values in Georgia this
year and last would have amounted to
$100,000,000.
The law not only seeks to equalize
tax values as between individuals, but
it also contemplates that counties
among themselves shall bear equally
the burdens and expenses of govern
ment, according to their relative values.
In pursuance of this purpose I passed
this year an order of equalization,
making the same applicable to ten
counties in the State; and in the future,
no doubt, like orders will be passed,
hoping thus ultimately to accomplish
measurable equality among the coun
ties.
An editorial like the one you have
written is not only helpful and encour
aging to an officer endeavoring to dis
charge a thankless, but certainly e
most important duty, but is helpful in
making that work easier, in that it in
forms the people on a subject but little
understood by them, and yet of the
gravest importance.
1 again thank you for the editorial.
Very truly yours,
John C. Hart,
State Tax Commissioner.
How Catarrh is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as te neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, a disease that iB sel
dom cured and that may prove a life's
burden. Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember hav
ing bad frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought,
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy judiciously used, and all this trouble
might have been avoided. Obtainable

October.
Memphis Commercinl-Appeal.
Why should not such perfect weather
as we are enjoying at present be a le
gitimate subject of conversation or an
editorial? The discussion of weather
has long been taboo, except to fill in
conversational gaps or to give farmers
cause of complaint, but who would com
plain of October weather, when—
"Earth in all its splendor drent.
Queenly fair she sits at rest.
While tho deep, delicious day
Drentus its happy life away."
From the first light of morning,
when “dawn’s deft hand is in the sky,”
and the crest of the mountain is bathed
in pale amber, through the glory of the
golden day to sunset, when the western
sky is a riot of color—during every
moment of the day, and at night when
the harvest moon riseB, there is some
thing wonderful in the weather of
October to talk about.
The month is the crowning glory of
the year. Tho snows artd frosts of
winter, the rains of spring and the heat
of summer, all will work well to make
October perfect in its mellow fruitful
ness, conspiring with the sun to “load
and bless with fruit the vines that
round the thatch leaves run.”
At this season each day invigorates,
each night recreates. Laboring peo
ple, weary and worn with the heat of
summer, find their strength returning
and their drooping spirits revived.
There is magic in the weather of Octo
ber, a fairy magic that brightens the
eyes, makes the step elastic, brings
color to the pallid cheek, and sends the
blood courBing joyously through the
veins.
Why not talk about the weather?
Whyjnot rejoice in it? Why not be
thankful for the month, with its nights
ef delicious Blumber, and its golden
days of glorious health?
No More Backache for Me.

The House of Sorrow.
Atlantic Monthly.
They that have experienced a great
sorrow are born again. The world
they are now in is quite different from
their old world. In that earlier world
they lived upon terms of household
familiarity with joy and felicity. Now
they must lie down by the side of sor
row, and eat with sorrow beside them
at the board. Outward things may as
sert their identity to eye, to ear, to
touch, but outward things cannot de
ceive the spirit within. The house of
sorrow is strange, all its furniture is
strange, and the newcomer muBt learn
anew how to live.
The first lesson is to accept the past
as a beautiful day that is done, as the
loveliness of a rose that has withered
away. The object of our yearning has
passed from the world of actual con
tact into the world of art. Memory
may paint the picture as it will, drop
out all shadows and catch the beauty
of our exquisite loss in all the golden
glow of human happiness.
There, within the shrine prepared by
sorrow, that picture will ever refresh
us and bless us. Evil cannot touch it,
nor ill will, nor envy, nor sordid care.
Only our own faithfulness, our own ac
ceptance of unworthy things, can
stain the freshness of its beauty. Sor
row has constituted us the sacristans
of this shrine: on us rests the care of
this pictured relic, and unless we suf
fer motes and beams to get in our eyes
it will remain as bright in the sanctuary
of memory as in the sunshine of earthly
life.
A commercial traveler arrived for
the first time at a small country town
one evening. Early next morning he
was awakened by a great blowing of
whistles, steam sirens, buzzers, etc.
Rejoicing in the thought of doing a
lot of business, he asked the hotel
proprietor later on:
“This is quite a manufacturing town,
isn’t it?”
"Oh, yes; we’re pretty busy,’’ was
the proud reply.
“What kind of factories have you?”
“Well” — this time more slowly—
“flour principally.”
“Only flour?”
“Yes, that’s all as yet. But our
flour mill’s a good one.”
“But I heard at least a dozen
whistles going this morning.’’
“You did," agreed the proprietor,
dropping his voice, confidentially, “but
they are all at the flour mill. You see,
we got the whistles we should want for
the factories we are going to have, and
put them in to make the town sound
more lively. Quite ‘citified,’ ain’t
it?”—Dallas NewB.
HURRAH! RINGLING
DAY ALMOST HERE
Big Circus and Great Spectacle Oc
cupy Five Trains Crammed With
Wonders.
The big event for which the young
sters and grownups have been impa
tiently waiting is drawing near, for on
Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 9 and 10
Ringling Brothers’ circus is to exhibit
afternoon and night in Atlanta. Ex
pectancy never ran so high before, and
it is likely that this district will send a
large delegation to feed the elephants.
Unusual interest centers around the
gigantic spectacle, "Cinderella,” with
which the famous showmen are this
season opening their wonderful main
tent program. "Cinderella” is prob
ably the beBt loved of all fairy tales, and
to see it produced with more than 1,000
persons, hundreds of dancing girls and
glorious pageants, indeed gives promise
of making “childhood's golden dreamB
come true.” In the same great tent
will come the marvelous circuB num
bers, in which 400 men and women per
formers, scores of trained animals and
a galaxy of special features, are intro
duced. The majority of the acts are
entirely new to America, the Ringling
Bros, having secured the pick of those
European performers who have been
obliged to seek engagements in this
country because of the war. The all-
new street parade will take place show
day morning.
Haralson county produced about
11,000 bales of cotton last year. The
entire crop, figured all around at 10
centa per pound, netted the farmers
$550,000. The crop this year, which is
exceedingly short, will be around 7,000
bales. If the farmers receive the
present price of 16 cents a pound for
the crop, it would be worth $560,000,
or $10,000 more than last year’s.
Doesn't this alone prove that it is far
more profitable to plant a short crop
and utilize your efforts and time to
the growth of other crops and the
breeding of fine Btock and cattle?
When all the farmers realize this, then
you’ll sea no inflated prosperity, but
sure-enough prosperity in the South,
and not before. Diversify! Diversify!I
Diversify!!!-Buchanan Tribune.
ft often happens in this world that
when we get rid of one trouble we run
into another. It is said that the de
struction of tigers in Africa haB allowed
the wild pigB to increase so that fam
ine is threatened in that country by
the damage the pigs do to the crops.
The tigers did occasionally kill a man,
but they also killed the pigs, and now
that the tigers are decreasing the pigs
are playing havoc with the crops. All
of which should be a warning to the
people of this country against the
wanton and wasteful slaughter of birds.
The birds do destroy some of the crops,
but the absence of birds make it pos
sible for insects to come that destroy
far more than the birds do.
When You Take Coldi
With the average man a cold is a
serious matter and should not be trifled
with, as some of the moat dangerous
diseases start with a common cold.

when you use this remedy, as it has
been in use for many years and has an
established reputation. It contains no
opium or other narcotic. Obtainable

Lazy men are dead to the world, but
they remain unburied.
For a Muddy Complexion.
Take Chamberlain’s Tablets and
adopt a diet of vegetables and oereals.
Take outdoor exercise daily and your
complexion will be greatly improved
within a few months. Try it. Obtain

A Distinctive Reason
What is the chief reason for the superi
ority of Royal Baking Powder ?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin.
It means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.
