My Favorite Study.
Gordon Rogers, 9th Grade Perry Public School.
This is a subject that I have often
debated in my own mind, and have
often heard others discuss it. So
after hearing others and thinking
myself, I have decided on astrono
my. Astronomy is a study that will
give one a higher opinion of our
Maker and also aid us in our daily life.
When we look at the heavens on a
moonless night and see the myriads
of small stars and think of their dis
tance, number and size, we are awed
to think that one hand made them
all, and one eye guides them through
the trackless sky, making them move
by fized laws, and, as it seems, hold
ing them in the hollow of His hand.
Then astronomy lifts us above the
low things of this earth. When we
think of the beauty of the stars and
their apparent purity, we think loft
ier thoughts and our minds are pur
er than they would otherwise have
been.
Then it aids the sailor in his long
voyages; if he has studied astronomy
he does not become so lonely as he
would if he had not studied it. He
can look at the stars and guide his
ship safely to harbor if he gets off
his course. Then on land the stars
guide our clocks, assisting us in reg
ulating them if they get wrong. The
stars keep the best time of any of
our watches; they move at an almost
inconceivable velocity, yet they pass
certain points in the sky at exactly
the right time, showing us that we
cannot make watches as good as the
clocks that God has put in the sky.
Again we feel our insignificance
when we see the bright comets
shoot across the sky, threatening the
earth, yet guided by that same hand
and eye that helps the lowly to
heaven and sees every sparrow which
falls to the earth.
We learn the size, distance and
features of all the larger planets and
our .sun. We are taught their rate
of traveling and at what time the
sun is eclipsed. We leam about our
moon, and are told that the moon
was once like our earth, and that we
will some day be like it, dead.
Therefore, I think astronomy is
my favorite' study.

It bccurs to my mind that,/ this
subject has been written on from
ages back by little girls like myself,
and larger ones, too, who are lovers
of those beautiful things we call
flowers, and as this is my first at
tempt,.! hope to do as well as soma
of the rest.
Flowers are used for the dead, for
when our loved' ones have passed
away and are shrouded in their bur
ial robes and carried to their last
resting place, their graves are deco
rated with wreaths of beautiful flow
ers.
If all children are like myself they
are very fond of flowers, and I am
inclined to think most of them are,
for when the little babes first com
mence walking over our Mother
Eearth their little fingers are seen to
pluck the lovely flowers by the way-
side, or in the yard, or in the gar
den, or wherever they may chance
to be.
Some fine flowers are used to ex
tract some of our finest perfumes. .Of
all my idle horns, there is nothing I
like better than rambling over hills
and dales hunting those lovely

company, which has secured in ad
dition to the 51,000 acres mention
ed, an option on more than 100,000
acres more in the same locality. It
is the intention of the promoters of
this new enterprise to first saw the
timber from the land and then put
it in active cultivation. Cattle rais
ing will be carried on extensively,
and thousands of acres will be plant
ed in sugar cane.
The new enterprise which the
company proposes to establish is ex
actly along the line which the Geor
gia commissioners of agriculture
have been working for years past.
The price paid for the land was just
a little over $1 per acre, it is said,
though the same land in Illinois and
other western states would cost any
where from $75 to $100.
The plans for the operations of
the new company are being formed
rapidly, and Mr. Munroe expressed
the opinion that he would have a doz

The Use Of A Name.
A lazy liver may be only a tired
liver, or a starved liver. A stick
all right for the back of a lazy man.
But it would be a savage as well as
a stupid thing to beat a weary man
or a starving man because he lagged
in his work; So in treating the lag
ging liver it is a great mistake .to
lash it with drastic drugs. In nine
ty-nine cases out of a hundred a tor
pid or sluggish liver is but a symp
tom of an ill-nourished body, whose
organs are weary with over-woik.
Let your liver alone. Start with the
stomach and its allied organs of di
gestion and nutrition. Put them in
proper working order, and see how
quickly your liver will become active
and energetic. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery has made many
marvelous cures of “liver trouble” by
its wonderful control of the organs
of digestion and nutrition. It re
stores the normal activity of the'
stomach, increases the secretions of
the blood-making glands, cleanses
the system from poisonous accumu
lations, and so relieves the liver of
the burdens imposed upon it by the
defection of other organs.
Going, down the road in North
Carolina the other day, says W.E.
Curtis in the Chicago Record Her
ald, lac costed a bright-looking lit
tle colored girl, and inquired her
name.
“Virginia Alabama Mississippi
Benson,” she said, so hurriedly
that I had to ask her to repeat it
several times, and I failed to dis
cover how so insignificant an atom
in this great universe had roceived
such a tremendous title. Learn
ing that she lived in a little cabin
near by, I inquired of her mother.
‘So’s to ’member th’ places
we’ve lived at,” was the reply,
and futher questioning drew out
the interesting fact that the child
had been made a family record
and christened so that her parents
might not forget the names of the
states in which they had resided.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh

As mercury will surely destroy the

from reputable physicians, as the

the good you can possibly derive

It looked for a minute as if a
collection was to be started, but a
benevolent-looking, old gentleman
nipped it in the bud by slipping.a
half-dollar into the hand of the
boy, who promptly disappeared
into the tent.
“I thank you a thousands times
for that kind act, sir,” said the
seedy-looking man. “You seem
to take quite an interest in the
little fellow,” remarked the be
nevolent one.
“Well, I should think I ought
to,” answered the seedy-looking
man, proudly. “That’s the only
