NESBITT IN THE R ACE.
Colonel R. T. Nesbitt, of Mari
etta, is squarely in the race for
commissioner of agriculture, and
will oppose the present incum
bent, Honorable O. B. Stevens.
Mr, Nesbitt has already begun
sending out circular letters ask
ing support in the race, and it is
likely that within the next few
days these circulars will have been
scattered throughout the state.
Mr. W. L. Lott went down to
Atlanta and bought two fine
mules this week. Mr. Lott is a
number one good farmer, and be
lieves in good stock.
Mr. B. P. Hudgins was m
Gainesville one day this week.
Hall county has but few men who
are better farmers than Mr. Hud
gins.

To
Remove Paint From Glass With
out Scratching the Surface.
If you use any compound contain
ing gritty matter, you are apt to
scratch the glass. Any hard tool,
such as a knife blade, might also
produce scratches. The best way to
proceed is to make use of some sol-
iy. A good substitute is several
thicknesses of slightly dampened
newspapers.
Novel Y/ash Lists.
Pretty old inventions are our
modern wash lists. The old German
housewife had an odd way of keep
ing track of the garments she gave
out to be washed. She had a pic
ture of each article and wrote down
the number of everything opposite
to it with a piece of chalk, which
was rubbed out when the article was
returned, to be used again the next
week. It was really a pictorial anc.
perpetual wash list.

There is a five-year-old hoy in

has heard much “flag” talk in his
short life and has exalted ideas of
its protective qualities. He was the
baby of the family till very recently
and occupied a crib bed in his moth
