Committee The legislature just closed, passed some excellent bills and we think its greatest sin this year one of omission in failing to pass the age of consent bill. Good prices are being offered the farmers for mules now, but our advice is not sell them if you are going to need them. They will cost you much more in the spring. The first test case in Georgia of the draft law was bacided at Mt. Aviry Monday by Judge Speer, and his decission upholds the constitutionality of the law.

The following story of the lnte Dr. Timothy Dwight appeared recently In tlm dally press. In Ids early day when lie was a tutor In charge of stu dent discipline at Yale, a sort of pn tor, apparently, lio was called out of Ills room by some midnight escapade. IIo was obliged as a matter of duty to pursue the disturbers, and with his long legs he soon found himself gnln- iug rapidly upon them. Thereupon n solemn voice rang out suddenly Into the night: “Gentlemen, If you don’t run a little faster, I shall be obliged to overtuko you—Youth’s Companion. Sunday Services Rev. J. B Phillips will preach Sunday morning to Christians, Everybody .urged to come out and hear him. In the afternoon he will preach a special bermon to men and boys over jl2.

Oman Is an Independent state In southeastern Arabia extending along a coastline—southeast and southwest—of almost 1,000 miles from the Gulf of Arinins and inland to the deserts. Area, 2,000 square miles; population estimated at 500,000, chiefly Arabs, but there is a strong infusion of negro blood. Capital, Maskat, with about 24,000 population. Reigning sultan, Scyyhl Tulrnur bin Feysll, who sue reeded his father, October 5, 1913. In land the sultan’s authority Is merely nominal. Oman Is really a dependency of the British government.

Notice I have sojd my interest in the Connally-Eskew Gin to J., O, Connall. \ L. A. Eskew, Bait for Pigeons. A little salt mixed with a qunntlt5' of common yellow clay und placed the roof or on a board on the side of an outbuilding will attract the com mon pigeons to such an extent it will not be dlllicult to secure quite n bevy of these birds. It is known that the pigeon loves a little salt, and as most of the natural salt licks, as they were called in early days, are gone, the birds will soon discover the salt with the moist earth. Calling Him Down. Mr. Cole had been scolding his slx- y ear-old daughter, who retorted “Don’t you think, papa, that just be cause you married mannna you have right to be rude to all women 1” Hops.

Everyone may juggle his purt, und represent tin honest man up on the stage; but within, and in Ills own bosom, where nil may do as they list, where all Is concealed, to be reg ular, there’s the point. The next de gree is to be so In his house, and in his ordinary actions t for which there no study nor urtiflee. And therefore Bins, setting forth the excellent state of a private family, says; “Of which the master is the same within, by his own virtue and temper, that he Is abroad, for fear of the laws and report of men.” And It wus a worthy saying of Julius Drusus, to the masons who offered him for three thousand crowns to put his house in such n posture that his neighbors should no longer have the same Inspection Into It us be fore: "I will give you,” said lie, “six thousand to make It so that everybody may see Into every room.” OPENS SEPT. 3 The Douslasville Public School will open Monday, September 3rd. We are expecting the largest attendance in the history of the school. Children who will be six yeara old by Jan. 1st., should enter in September rather than January," Pupils are urged to enter the first day. Our High School is on the accredited list which means that our graduates can enter the best col leges of Georgia without an entrance examination We urge all the boys and girls of the county who expect to attend a high school this year, to come to Douglasville. DOUGLASVILLE SCHOOL BOARD Exercise Your Will. In the Woman’s Home Companion a writer says: “Let us keep it in mind each day that a weak will is the sign of Inferiority; It means that we belong to the lower classes, to the weak and in ferior; and then remember that if we remain weak apd Inferior, it is not be cause we must, but entirely because we prefer to; and remember that we can become one of the intelligent ruling class if we choose. Let us set ourselves certain tests of will, and remember to let them be tests, not tasks. Let us throw away if we can, all somber ideas of duty and all ideas of our weakness being sinful. Perhaps It might be ac counted so by those of a strongly re ligious trend; but let us remember that our task, our whole splendid and Joy ous tusk in this instance, is to learn to exercise and use our powers.
