•LOWED HE’D PLANT ALL COT-

The verses printed below were written
by Sidney Lanier, the well-known Geor

ferred to was Joseph Clisby, editor of
IJio Macon Telegraph at thnt time—
That air sumo Jones that-lived in Jones,
He had this pint about him:
Ho’d swear with a hundred sighs nnd
groans
Thnt farmers must stop gittiu’ loans
, An ’ (fit along without Vni;—>
That hunkers, warehousemen .and sicli
Was fattenin' on the planter,
And Tennessy was rotten-rich
A-roisin ’ meat and corn—all which

An' the only tiling (says .Tones) to do
Is to ent no moat that’s houghton,
But tear up every I. 0. U.
An' platlt nil corn an 1 swenr for true
To quit a raisln' cotton.
Thus spouted Jones twhnr nil could
hear,
At court an’ other gathering),
An' thus kept spoutin' many a year,
Proclaimin’ loudly fur an’ near
Such llddlesticks anil blatherin’s.
But one nil tired sweatin’ day
It happened whoa 1 was liociu’
My lower eoruflold, which it lay
’Longsido the rond thnt runs my way,
Wliar 1 enn see what’s goin’.
An’ arter twelve o’clock had come
I felt, a kinder faggin’,
An' laid myself uhlnontli a plum
To let my dinner settle sum.
When 'long come Jones’ wnggln.
An’ Jones was sett in’ in, so,
A-rcndin' of a paper;
His mule was goin’ pow’fiil slow,

CLUB WORK
FOR THE MONTH—
Dear ('lull Member: Below you will
lied infuriiiatiun and suggestions for
carrying out the month’s work. Note
those point, carefully:
We have come to the time whoa little
chicks should linvo boon hutched long
past, now. Ptom now on our care will
lie with developing these chicks to best
advantage, for their future performance
as layers this fall and winter, and also
for tlie fall shows. Remember not to
feed tlio little eliieks for (JO to 7(1 hours
after they are hutched. Their first feed
is to be line rolled oats, or crushed hard
boiled eggs, gradually changing into
commercial “baby chick" feed, with
plenty of sour milk or clabber. As the
eliieks get older they should have a dry
ninsli kept before them. Thu same mash
that we recommend for Inylng liens may
be used, (with a little wheat brnu add
ed,) or tlio following may bo made up
and fed according to tlio formula: 31)
lbs. wheat bran, 10 lbs. shorts, 10 lbs.
moot scrap. This contains the necessary
amount, of protein to nmko bone and
muscle—essential to proper chick develop
ment. For best growtli koop this mush
before thorn nil tlio time, feed lightly of
baby chick feed night and morning, and
keep fresh water ami sour milk before
them to drink.
Watch out for mites nnd lieo this
month. Keeji mites down with kerosene
oil, and lice with commercial powders or
sodium llorldo, which can be purchased
at any drug store. Don’t forget tlio two
very essential tilings—plenty of shade,
and clean, fresh water.
Sincerely yours,
Lorinc Collins,
County Home Demonstrut ion Agent.
DRESDEN CLUB—
This is the first year the ' Dresdon
school lias had a sufficient number of
club members to organise a club. They
are doing splendid work, nnd making
plans to raise money for an oil stove,
so they will bo ready for cooking without
depending on the stove to be brought to
them each meeting. I linvo heard
that money can be raised any time for
tbo school at Dresden.. Below is n
copy of tlio minutes of their last meet
ing;
* 'Tlie Dresden Girls' Demonstration
Club held its regular meeting Thursday,
May 12. Tlie mooting was called to
order by tlie president. Minutes of last
meeting read and approved. Tlie girls
answered to roll-cull by toiling what
they had done since tlie Inst meeting.
All of tlie girls had done sumo garden
work, and all who were present at tlie
last deuionstration had made loaf bread.
We discussed plans for onr club camp.
Most of our club are plniitiiug to go.
We talked about good bread, and how to
tell when bread is good.. Tlio demon
stration was on variations of bread. Wo
made rolls,—Parker House rolls and cin
namon rolls, using currants in same.
Wo practiced same club songs nnd yells.
We were asked by the demonstration
agent to write a composition on “Good
Broad” by the next meeting, which
a good subject. Then we served some
delightful rolls and adjourned.

The following letter from a club girl
shows the true club spirit:

DISCOVERING
DISEASED TONSILS—
Parents need not ntways wait for ex
amining physicians to lie perfectly sure
thnt a child is suffering from diseased
tonsllo or adonoids. Very often there
are actual symptoms of conditions which,
If understood, will convince tlio parent
thnt something wrong is present, nnd an
immediute examination by a doctor will
show what it is, or will, on tlie other
hand, show thnt the parent is overanx
ious if the condition does not really
exist.
But if tlie child does not develop rap
idly; if It is pale, undorivoiglit, delicate
ami “takes cold easily;” if it has a
tendency to drop its lower jaw, and to
sit. with its mouth open; and more par
ticularly if it sleeps with an opon mouth,
it is time to suspect that there is trouble
in that child’s tliront, Again, there may
lie enlarged and tender gluads of the
child's neck, nnd if such glands are loft
without attention they may booome tu
berculous, thus endangering the health
and the very life of tlio child.
Diseased tonsilH and adenoid growths,
which almost always necompnny such
tonsils, render any child having them
much more liable to tnko disensos such
as measles, diphtheria, scarlet (ever nnd
similar ills, all of which carry a measure
of danger, and which it is much easier
and safer to prevent than it is to euro,
la nddition to these dangers, which am
caused by diseased tonsils and j adenoids,
serious trouble witli the vital organs,
sudi as tlio lungs and kidneys, may final
ly result if tlio tonsils and adenoids are
not removed.
II is, therefore, the plain duty otYovory
parent to tie on the lookout for such a
condition in their eliildron, and, once it
is suspected, immediate steps should die
taken to hnve it remedied. The opera
tion is simple and very soon forgotten,
while if it is not done the child's whole
future may bo endangered.
Tlie causes of onlargod nnd diseased
tonsils are not altogether understood, I• ■ ir.
some doctors say tlie uso of tlio “paci
fier,” which keeps tlio child’s month
open after it falls asleep, dries the
throat and these conditions follow. Oth
er causes arc said to bo breathing bad
air, especially at night; general weak
ness, caused by inal-mitrition, or from
anything that lowers tlio child's bodily
resistance.
But whatever tlio enuso, it is a fact
that in an examination made of the
school children in the United States
Borne 3,000.000 to 5,000,000 wore found
to linvo diseased or enlarged tonsils or
adeniAls, and one of this number may
readily be one of your own.
Children of school ago who come in
contact with groups of otlior children
who may, in turn, linvo como in contact
with diseases of a more or less contagi
ous nature, nro particularly llablo to
take contagious diseases, and this liabil
ity is grontly increased if there are dis
eased or enlarged tonsils or adenoids
prosont. Of course, it is impossible to
iiisuro .protection from any contagious
disease, no matter wlmt precaution wo
taka, but it is n fact Hint when a child
has Ids tonsils nnd adonoids removed lie'
lias been protected ns fnr ns possible,
for there is no one otlior measure that
is regarded ns more necessary in protec
ting nnd preserving the health of the
child. Annie L. Trnbor,
Red Cross Public Health Nurse.
A CURE FOR WORRY.
Everybody seems to be agreed it’s not
hard work that breaks men down—it’s
worry.
How, then, slinll tlio worry be elimi
nated f
I will tell you tlio greatest source of
worry: Unfinished jobs.
The man who is on top of ids job all
the time, who drives his job instead of
letting his job drive him, seldom has
anything to worry about.
Take tlio ease of the man who gets to
the office an hour late in tho morning.
He is just nliout. an hour behind all day
—worried every minute beeuuso he is
Into for ids appointments.
The extra effort accessary to get down
on time would rid him of tlie sourco of
most of his worries. But lie won’t make
tlio effort und so lie pays tho penalty.
1 know a man who is making a failure
of everything he undert-iWos because'he
putB off.doing jobs until tho patience
of those who depend on him is exhaust
ed. At the Inst minute he sidetracks
everything else for u few days anil does
this one task in a very creditable way.
In tho meantime, while lie is so busy
with tliis job, other tilings accumulate
and they, too, are finished behind sched
ule.
Ho is (-/instantly worried; everybody is
on his neck.
At intervals of aliont three months lie
lias a liear-break-doivn and hies himself
off for a week’s vacation, letting every
thing go to pot.
Ho can't get any real rest while he
is gone because lie is worried about the
pile of unfinished work on his office
desk.
His brain is always boiling, not with
constructive plans for increasing Ids bus
iness, but with the petty details of unfin
ished jobs.
He claims that lie is “overworked,”
that his customers are “ unreasonable,”
that his business is a ‘ ‘ rotten ’ ’ one.
Yet if ho would organize himsplf and
Ids office to hmidli! matters us they come
uj), he could, in two weeks’ time, clean
u]i his desk. Once on top of his job ho
could stay there and his worries would
evaporate like a Xlve-dollar bill in a meat
mnrkot.
Chock up with your own experiences
and observations.
Tlie best cure for worry is—work.
Because she smoked a pipe a Now
York woman was declared unfit to have
tho custody of a little grandchild. At
thnt, though, we hnve known some mighty
good women who smoked pipes. One,
especially, wo recall, beeuuso we swiped
lrer pipe once whoa we wore about knee-
high to a dock and smoked it ourself.
And when, shortly thereafter, she found
us with both feet in the grave nnd the
determination to crawl all tlio way in
if wo had. strength enough, she didn’t
scold or tell on ns, but set about bring
ing us round again. She was old and
wrinkled and wore dresses .down to l(or
slioe-tops, and thought tlio word “shim
my” oughtn’t to be mentioned in polite
company, but outside of that she was all
rigid.—Johnny Spencer, in Macon Tel
egraph.

Among tires SlLVERTOWN is
the name that instantly conveys

Motor car manufa&urers and

to their prospers that their cars

knowing that neither explana

This makes all the more impor

Louis Douogan, grocer, 140 E.
Broad St., Newnan, says: “I am
nearly seventy-one years of age ana
my kidneys are in fine shape; I give
Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit tor
this. Several years ago I sulferea
considerably with my kidneys. The
secretions were highly colored and
contained a brick-dustdlke sediment
and 1 had to get up often at night to
pass them. The muscles of my back,
were ail drawn up, sore and stlft.
Sharp knife-like pains would catch
me in my back when I stooped over.
I started using Doan’s Kidney Pills
and in a short time - they have had
me feeling better and finally Doan’s
entirely cured me. The cure has
lasted."
