Farmers cimplain that too much
rain and adverse seasons generally are
putting them behind with their work.
Let 'em take a rest and the balance of
other side to the story of health and that is the carelessness of those who are
healthy. Every safeguard should be thrown around the home where health
prevails and at this time of the year there are many important steps to be
considered.
The lack of cleanliness is one of the greatest causes of sickness It does
not have to be inferred from this that families are not careful and use plenty
of warm water and other necessary cleanesre, but it is more generally due to
a disregard of details, facls of which every one are cognizant. During the
summer time the great dread of the country is typhoid fever and nearly all
this can be attributed at the start to two things, unclean milk or water.
However, after the disease once establishes itself in a community there
arc hall a hundred ways for it to spread, the most common being by the
common house fly. They are germs distributors ol every kind and the more
deadly the germ the more certain they are to take it out.
The moral in this matter is to get busy with spring cleaning, make tha
city look like a new one, guard againts the (lies and be healthy. Last year
Milledgevillc had a few cases of typhoid fever, but this year it is to be hop
ed thal not a case will develop and all should work to thwart such a thing.
Convicts fo Work
City’s Streets
Arrangements Concluded Gnarante e
ing Full Quota to City to Improve
Its Streets.
The announcement made some time
since that Milledgeville would work its
streets by convicts was received with
much interest through the city and
county, but for obvious reasons were
not secured as early as was intended.
Mayor Bell and Chairman McKinlev,
of the county commission-
erj, however, have been keeping at
work on the proposition and this week
negotiations were concluded by which
the convicts will be secured the first of
April.
Everything is virtually in readiness
for the work to commence and there is
no doubt but that a great improvement
will be immediately noticeable after the
convicts get busy.
The Coming of The Spring Rair*
V hen we were boys and girls—that is some years ago—there used to be
a little priecc in the school books reading:
“Rain, rain, April rain,
Bring the llowers back again.”
But since that time the seasons have charged and the spring flowers come
long before April. Even now the yellow jasmine is in bloom and the wild
violets are luxuriant in the country woodlands. These llowers are wonder
ful and come like a sort of a blessing to relieve the the monotony of winter's
gray just before the trees put on their robes of green and the grass covers
up the scars of earth.
But there is another side to this rain question. It is getting pretty regu
lar over Geoagia now and farmers are getting behind. They say that a
bad start often makes a good finish and il this be true maybe farmers will
come out better this year. However, it is a hard matter to convince a
rural citizen—we are really one ol 'em—that this term doesn’t apply to
horse racing better than to farming. The March wind brings dust and packs
the earth hard alter the heavy rains. If you've never been one of these
rural citizens—like us—then you don't know how hard the ground gets,
especially red land.
Yet alter all there is another side to it—to this rainy weather and to
everything else disagreeable. We never can forget, a few lines though the
years separate us from our first reading. A long time back either Eugene
Field, or James Whitcomb Riley—always did mix ’em, though they were
far apart—wrote a little verve that read:
“It’saint no use to grumble and complain,
It jus' as cheap and easy to rejoice,
And so when God sends rain—
W'y rain's my choice.”

More Cotton Oil Goe* to Turkey.
The following figures furnished dv

stantlnople, under date of November
23. covering the imports of American
cottonseed oil during 1908. are In
dtcattve of an extensive trade with
Turkey in this product:
The arrivals up to date amount to
over 10.000 barrels of an estimated
value of IZOj.OOO and on the next
steamer due here are between 3,000
and 4,000 barrels, which will bring
the result of the years working to
about $260,000. It is thought that
owing to a poor ollvo crop, these
figures will be about doubted during
1909.

If you were a merchant, would
n’t you rather sell a thousand
yards of silk in a day. at a profit
of 10c a yard, than to sell (with

Isn’t it plain that in all such
instances the buyer gets the ben
efit of the “volume of busAess”
which advertising enables the
merchant to do?
