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.” Ture BaKinf Powder yibsolutely Renders the food more wholesome and su perior in lightness and flavor,.

Despite the fact that the night was somewhat disagreeable a large crowd greeted May Stewart in the presenta tion of “The Twelfth Night" here on Thursday night. There were many who did not particularly fancy Miss Stewart above some other members of the company and Sir Andrew Ague- cheek, represented by Grover Cline, was an entertaining character. Manager McComb and Mr. Hines are being congratulated on securing such a play for Milledgeyille and an other such will no doubt be appreciated.

It is thought that owing to a poor ollvo crop, these figures will be about doubted during 1909. WSpecial display of millinery a t Misses Keil & Ivey’s March 1 6 17 and 18.

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 out advertising) fiftv yards, at a profit of 25cts a yard? 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?
