Peterson, of Douglas, in addi¬ tion to his large mercantile, hotel and livery interests, is somewhat of a farmer and believes in raising hog and hominy, with cotton as a sur-; pins crop.

Pointod Peragraphs. Stuffing a turkey is culinary taxi¬ dermy. Bald-headed friends .find it diffi¬ cult to part. Between two evils some men choose both. When winter dies spring will fur¬ nish the flowers. An underdone steak is better than a steak done over. Real gratitude is never ashamed of humble benefactors. About the'greatest drawback to a man’s happiness is himself. Bad luck in small quantities makes good fortune more palatable. The majority may rule if the mi¬ nority isn’t made up of women. A man loses his appetite for a lot of things while waiting for them. The train boy books more passen¬ gers than the general passenger agent. Some tailors give customers fits while others give them convulsions. The wise girl who wants to catch a husband always runs the other way. A man is always willing to help another if he sees a chance to help himself. When some men reach the top they help to set elf the surrounding ' vacancy. . The less a man amounts to the more he boasts of the deeds of his ancestors. All fiefch may ho grass, but the lawn mower will never supplant the carving knife. A vacation makes people so lazy they don’t care if they never have to work again. A man who looks only at one side of a thing imagines every other man does the same. We are told that wealth does not happiness and we know that povorty doesn't. Time is money; that’s why the man who owes you a little bill prom¬ ises to pay it in time. When a man does something mean to you that you had thought of do¬ ing to him it warps the golden rule.

There is undoubtedly such a thing sympathetic suffering. Many a man suffers when liis wife is of sorts.—Chicago News. LaCrippe Successfully Treated. “I have just recovered from the attack of la grippe this year,” says Mr. Jus. A. Jones, Mexia, Tex. “In the latter case I used Cham berlaiu’s Ceugli Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, against ten days for the for¬ mer attack. The second attack 1 am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being ‘struck’ with it, while in the first case I was able to attend to busi¬ ness about two days before getting down.” For sale by Luke & Asbiey. Sheriff Swindle has certainly dis¬ tinguished himself as a gambler catcher. With him, however, it is no game of chance. Sunday night he succeeded in surprising and cap¬ turing nine thus unlawfully engaged. During the month of January he placed eighteen behind the bars in Nashville jail, all of whom, except two that are out on bond, were dealt with according to the crime. This is an evil that ensnares the young 7 pollutes the old, and sucks the blood and honor from and we trust that this fruit* of satan’s planting will be entirely uji rooted.-—Adel News.

Total same date last season 1 a2,000 tons. The sales of tags by the depart¬ ment of agriculture show that so far the shipments of fertilizers in Georgia this season are less than half the tonnage that moved up to this time last season, and the Janu¬ ary shipments up to the 18th are little more than a third of last year’s movement. The fertilizer business has been growing since the department rec ord began in the season of 1874 -5, and, with now and then a check, consumption has gone upward with leaps and bounds. The only marked exception to this heretofore was in the season of 1894—5, 'when it dropped one-third. Since then the sales have steadily increased and the season of 1897--8 showed the enormous consumption of 424,081 tons. The fertilizer season begins in October and continues until May; but the bulk of the shipments ,. move m January, February anc March. lhe shipments im-luue fertilizers of all kinds and cotton seed meal used for fertilizing purposes. How to Prevent Pneumonia. You are perhaps aware that pneu¬ monia always results from a cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago, when so many cases re¬ sulted in pneumonia, it was ob¬ served that the attack was never fol¬ lowed by that disease when Cham¬ berlain’s Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bud colds and ia grippe. Every bottle war¬ ranted.
