couldn’t even sit up in bed. Noth¬

die of Consumption, when I heard
of Dr. King’s New Discovery. One
bottle gave groat relief. I contin¬
ued to use it, and now am well and

praise.” This marvellous medicine

Pursuit vs. Possession.
Editor Dispatch -We talked
last week about’ wiregrass biscuit.
I don’t mean biscuit made of wire-
grass, but from wheat grown on
wiregrass land. And before this
letter is in print the wheat crop in
South Georgia will he harvested and
in the barn and the fun will be about
over. The work of threshing, clean¬
ing, washing, drying, mitting—all
intervene between the farmer and
his home-raised biscuit. The pur¬
suit of some things is more enjoyed
than the possession of them, and
Southern grown wheat is one of
those things and matrimony is an¬
other. Not one person in a hun¬
dred realizes in marriage what they
anticipated. It would be impossible
for realization to meet expectation.
A young girl becomes “thunder¬
struck” to get married. Her eye is
fixed upon her “feller”—she talks
about him, dreams about him; in
fact she is a dunce about him. To
have him for a husband would be a
heaven below. IIis presence would
be food and raimfcnt, liis voice a
“llarp of. a Thousand Strings.”
Neither heaven nor earth could
boast of another such a jewel, and
may be they cannot, nor the region
below. But imagine her plunge
from the skies to the bottomless pit,
when she weds a quarrelsome, con¬
trary, lazy, indolent piece of mor¬
tality! See her, a few years later,
sitting on the back-way, resting her
chin in the palm of her hand, solil¬
oquizing. Ask her how stands the
question between “Pursuit and Pos¬
session,” and then dodge around the
corner for stifety.
But wo will go back and finish
our wiregrass wheat crop. When
the farmer has harvested, threshed,
and cleaned his wheat to supply for
the year, he has then just got the
elephant by the—by tho—yes, got
the elephant by the horns. lie has
his crop of wheat and don’t know
how to keep it. If he grinds it all,
it will get bugs and worms in it.
If bo keeps it in wheat, it will do
the same thing, and. before the next
crop is harvested it will be so “mus¬
ty” the odor of a hot biscuit will be
almost like opening a bottle of am¬
monia.
When our fathers raised their
wheat in middle Georgia, in the long
ago, when it was ready to harvest
they had reapings. The neighbors
came in with their old-fashioned
grain cradles and the women had a
quilting and a big dinner, and all
got happy and went home. There
were no threshing machines. Some
men beat their wheat out by hand,
some on rail pens with flails, others
trod it out with horses and oxen.
Tho wheat was placed around in a
circle about thirty feet across, the
bed about six feet wide, the bundles
standing head upward. The team
was driven round and round on the
bed until it was torn down; then
they,were taken off, the bed adjust¬
ed, and around they went again.
This was the threshing process in
the days of the prophets, when they
were not allowed to “Muzzle the
mouth of the ox while treading out
the wheat.” They called it corn,
but it was wheat. But how they or
our fathers managed to keep it nice
under such a process is not my job
to tell. I simply know they done
it way and washed all of their wheat
befor sending to mill, and I had to
mind the chickens off the wheat
scaffold while it was drying.

Last fall I sprained my left hip
while handling some heavy boxes.
The doctor I called on said at first
it was a slight strain and would soon
be well, but it grew worse and the
doctor then said I had rheumatism.
It continued to grow worse and I
could hardly get around to work.
I went to a drug store and the drug¬
gist recommended me to try Cham¬
berlain’s Pain Balm. I tried it and
one-half of a 50-cent bottle cured
me entirely. I now recommend it
to all my friends.— F. A. Babcock,
