A FELLOW'S MOTHER.
f A fellow*8 mother,” said Fred

wise,
With his rosy cheeks and merry blue

“Knows what to do if a follow gets hurt
By a thump or a bruise, or a fall in the
dirt.
* * A fellow ’b mother has rags and strings,
Bags and buttons and lots of things;
No mutter how busy she is she’ll stop
To see how well you can spin your top.
* *- She does not care—not much, I mean—
If a fellow’b face is not quite clean;
And if your trousers are worn at the
knee,
She can put in a patch you’d never seel
A fellow’s mother is never mud,
And only sorry if you are bad; ---
And I’ll tell you this, if you uro only
true
She’ll always forgive you, whatever you
do.

To keep the tear from her loving eye)
And a fellow’s worse who sees it not
That his mother’s the truest friend he’s
got!” —Margaret E. Sangster.

IMMORTALITY.
Address of H. D. D. Twiggs at Elks
Lodge of Sorrow, Augusta.
I stood upon the deck of a great stf-anl*
er. There was no land in sight. We
were in the center of a great circle.
Everywhere the vast conclaved dome of.
blue met the horizon of water. N.o mat-
[ter where we were, day after day, that
.great circle met the eye. It seemed a
{type of the endless circle of eternity. I
saw the sun sweep with, his chariot of
fire across the vast blue dome and touch
the sea. From his golden shield crim
son lightning pierced the clouds and he
cradled himself upon a thousand fiery
wave-wings and quivered and hung, burn
ing and glowing, upon the sea; and the
sen, burning, drank all his glow; then
threw the veil of an infinite splendor
over the pale, glowing god.
Above the vermilion horizon the cloud-
island of sundown stood empurpled and
transfigured; gradually the purple and
red grew paler, and suddenly—aye, in
the twinkling of an eye—the orb of life
and light sank into the sea and chilly
darkness wrapped the world in night.
This seemed the awful typo of death;'
but I saw him rise again. The glorious
god of life and light again flung his red
flame upon the swelling sea; and, as if
to strengthen the faith of the witnesses
and lookers on of the grand resurrection,
he again performed the old, old miracle
of turning water into wine. Rising still
higher, he bathed the sea and sky in his
own. radiant apd immortal light.
The sun sots nnd rises. The stars set
beneath tho horizon, but they rise again.
A thousand suus and spheres in the ma
jestic harmony of tho universe, rolling on
burning wheels, continue in thoir celestial
dance. Wheeling into infinite space tho
majestic processlou Of God’s created lifo
disappear in their ondloss cycles; but
they reappear again. Now lovo nnd life
thrill from tho spheres ns tho dewdrops
trickle from tho clouds nnd embrace Na
ture, as tho cool night does the earth.
Throe, yoars ngd I was in Switzerland,
dud, standing in the vale of Chamouni
before sunrise, I gazed for tho first time
upon- the majestic monarch of the Al
pine range, Mont Blanc. So. lofty did it
lift its awful dome of ico and snow that
the morning stnr seemed to hang like
a jewel upon its snowy plume. 1 saw
the rising sun bathe his brow in purple
nnd in gold, and his rays, falling upon
the million facets of this giant jagged
glacier, seemed a veritable explosion of
jewels. I gazed until my diluting soul,
enrapt, transfused into the mighty vis
ion, seemed lifted to heaven; and the un
bidden question trombled upon my quiv
ering lips, “Oh! thy kingly spirit,
throned among tho hills, who sank thy
sunless pillars deep in earth? Who filled
thy {face with rosy light? Who mado
yon ice-fields tlmt tremble on thy shaggy
shoots down in its fearful, maddening
plunge to the valley at thy feet?”
The answer thunders, * * God 1 ’ ’
God is everywhere, His face is writ
ten all over Nature; -unerring design is
stamps over all His wondrous works.
Let us hope and believe that our departed
brothers have taken /their place in that
vast heavenly circle of -light and life—
a circle which will burn and blaze with
unextinguishable flame; and when thoir
names are edllled in the grand lodge
above they will answer, “Here at rest.”
At rest, where their lights will ever burn
in a glorious immortality—and where
they will over sing praises and hosannuhs
around the eternal throne of the * * Grand
Exalted Ruler of the Universe.’’ ’
Two men got into a fight in front
of the bank today,” said a man at tho
family ton table, “and I tell you it
looked pretty bad for one of them. The
bigger one Seized a huge stick and bran
dished it. I felt that he was going to
knock the other’s brains out, and I jump
ed in, between them. ’ ’
The family had listened with rapt at
tention, and ns he paused in his narra
tive the young heir, whose respect for
his father's bravery is immeasurable,
proudly remarked: f He couldn’t knock
any brains out of you, could he, father?

A BILLION DOLLAR STATE.
Georgia produced in 1019 crbpa worth
approximately $025,000,000 and sold nni-
mnl products valued nt $125,000,000.
Thus the total soil and animal produc
tion of the Stnto reached tha groat' sum
of $750,006,000. The' cotton boll weevil
cost us $40,000,000, tho corn woevil $15,-
000,000, nnd our crop nnd animal waste
amounted to $100,000,000. Add to this
our annual soil loss of approximately
$.‘17,584,000 nnd tho $167,000,000 which
we sent out of tho State for wheat, flour,
butter, stock foods, nnd other commodi
ties which wo could have easily produced
at home, and wo begin to realize tho
magnitude of our ngrlculoural losses, ac
tual and potoiltinl.
Georgia is rapidly growing into a bil
lion dollar Stnto. In comparison with the
other States wo stand sixth in crop pro
duction nnd seventeenth in animal pro
duction. Some of these times Georgia
will reach tho top. Our goal of a bil
lion dollar Stnto mny bo reached within
a year if wo will only tako the necessary
steps to reduce] our crop nnd livestock
Iosbos, produce more of our food crops,
and increase tho production per aero by
bettor preparation of tho land, proper
fertilization, careful cultivation, rotation
of crops, and bettor seed.
Only one-third of Georgia’s land is now
producing crops. Of tho 117,584,000 acres
in tho Stnto approximately 12,208,017
acres are regarded as productive and 14,-
600,1190 acres ns unimproved. This leaves
10,680,687 acres of woodod, cut-over, or
unimproved wild land. Thus wo see that
Goorgia may easily become a two bil
lion dollar State if the unimproved land
is brought under tho plow, the wild hinds
mado to yield a return, in forosts, nnd tho
production of all our cultivated lands
increased by tho application of scientific
principles of. farming,
AN UNIQUE METHOD OF ADVER
TISING.
Foster-Milburn Oo., .whoso product,
Doan’s Kidney Pills, iB advertised in our.
columns, is one of the oldest advertising
firms in the United States. They began
using tho daily and weekly newspapers
85 years ago, and have kept it up ovor
sinco. This is one # of the strongest proofs
of tho value of newspaper advertising.
Twenty years ago Foster-Milburn Com
pany conceived the idea of proving the.
merit of their goods with local tOBtimo-
niuls. It took thorn fiftoou years to col
lect tho testimonials from every one of
tho 3,500 United States towns in which
they do this kind of advertising. It was
a tremendous task, but they stqck to it
until they succeeded, and tho rosult is
that Doan’s Kidney Pills are one of the
best advertised and best recommended
k remedies in tho world.
It wnB bedtime nnd tho children wore
calling eagerly for tho usual evening
story. Two books lay on tho tablo—one
Btories from tho blblo; the other Bar-
mini’s talos of wild animals capturod for
his great show.
‘Which shall it bo, little ones--bible
stories or Bornum’s stories?”
Quickly came tho reply; “Oh! blblo
stories; they nro so exciting. You nover
know what God will do next.”
Speedy Relief
From Habitual _
Constipation
Tlia livet is the largest end most
Important organ in tho body, and
when tho liver refuses to act, it cauaoa
constipation, biliousness, headaches,
indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad
breath, dysentery, diarrhoea, pains in
back and under shoulder blades and
under ribs on right side. These symp
toms lead to colds, influensa or othen
serious troubles unless corrected im
mediately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over-
taxcB them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system tba
impurities that tho liver and kldneya
have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to taka purga
tives every few nights. Calomel or
other ordinary laxatives do not go far
enough. If you would treat your kid
neys and blood while treating the liver
you would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgative* would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important facts,
and after much study nnd research,
compounded what is now known as
Dr. Hitchcock’a Liver, Kidney and
Blood Powders, three medicines com
bined in ono. This was tHe Doctor’s
stable remedy, that will not make you
sick, and you may eat anything you
like while taking it. »
Got a large tin box from your drug
gist or dealer for 25c, under his per
sonal guarantee that it will give re
lief, tono up tho liver, stimulate the
kidneys to healthy action and thereby
purify tho blood. If your dealer will
not supply you, it will be mailed direct
by Hitchcock Medicine Co., Atlanta,
Ga.. upon receipt of price.—(odvJ.
TRADE MARK,
It'u a habit of Henry Ford to thoroughly try out and test
-any product he manufactures before he puts it on the market.
He personally must know it will do all he wants it to do before
he will allow anybody else to buy it. For 35 years he worked
on this Fordson Tractor. He kept buying land until he had some
thing like eight thousand acres in order that he might get a great
variety of soil conditions containing the plowing problems that
meet the farmers of the world, and then the Fordson Tractor was
put to work and made to take all sorts of practical tests for years
before Mr. Ford put it on the market
And, therefore, when it came on the market, it was right,
it was reliable, it would do the work he said it would do. People
have bought it, have tried it out, have tested it, and it has proven
to be all that Mr. Ford claims it to be, and this is why that white
farm Tractors have been on the American market more than
twenty years and while three hundred thousand have been sold
one hundred thousand of that three hundred thousand are Ford
son Tractors, and yet the Fordson has only been on the market
itwo years.
It has sold rapidly because when one farmer bought one, he
practically converted the neighborhood to the desirability and
profit of the Fordson Tractor on the farm.
The Fordson is made small, compact, flexible, dependable.
It is made to be much more convenient to handle than a
.It was made so that anybody of ordinary common sense could
operate and take care of it We wanted to make it so that a
mechanic-'would not have to be sold with every Tractor. It was
made by a farmer for a farmer, and it has the endorsement of
the farmers—the little farmer and the big farmer. Some farmers
have one, some farmers have ten and fifteen, and one farmer we
know has fifty-six. It works just as well in the West as it does
in the East. It is just as flexible in the North as in the South. It
is just as profitable in the wheat field as it is in the sugar and rice
fields. It is just as flexible and useful on the fruit ranch as it is
among the fields of oats and barley. It is just as useful and profi
table in the lumber camp, railroad yard, coal mine, as it is in the
oil fields or any other commercial line. But especially designed
for the farmer, it is especially his necessity. ■ •■"’I
Because it increases the production of every acre by enabling
the farmer to cultivate his ground to better advantage than he
can with mule or horse-power. It takes the sting and drudgery
out of farm work. It is a great conserver of labor expense.. Oh,
it has so many money-saving advantages that the farmer can’t
do without it and be progressive and make money.
So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him more
about this Fordson Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for
him on his own farm. Let us test it out to his soil conditions.
Let’s show him.
Don’t delay because there are only so many Fordson Tractors
to come to this territory. Get your order in now, and remember
that the Fordson after service is prompt and sure. We are sup
plied with everything necessary to keep your Fordson going every
day in the year. Come in and let’s talk it over.
