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.
Ii continued to grow worse and,.I
could 1 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

0ur farmers have been very busy
fbr- the pact two weeks harvesting
their wheat and oats. They report
their wheat crop fairly good and the
oats that were sown in the fall were
very good, but those sown since
Christmas were almost an entire
failure. Our farmers are beginning
to realize more and more the impor¬
tance of raising these crops. There
have been more mowers, reapers and
binders sold here this year than ever
before in one year. A great many
farmers are preparing to save more
hay this year than heretofore.—

Don’t Bo Moan.
A moan iimn in the most hateful
creature on the face of the earth,
and a Hellish man is mean wherever
you find him.
One of the host evidences of mean¬
ness is displayed in a man who,
when approached by some public
spirited citizen for the support of
home public enterprise, asks “will
cost anything?’’’ He. manifests
still a meaner spirit when he tells
that citizen who is trying to build
up the townnw.d help 1 he very fel¬
low he is talking to, that he does
not propose to take, any part in it
because somebody is always coming
around bogging for something and
that lie is continually having to pay
put his money to help along seipo-
thing he gefs nothing out of.
Indeed! what a sorry citizen you
are, dear friend. You don’t know
where your living comes from. You
really don’t know what you do “get
anything out of,” as you say. You
are too blind am? too narrow to sOe
what is helping support your busi¬
ness, build your home yonder, feed
and clothe your little children who
dignify you with .the fond name of
“papa.” You are the biggest fool
that walks the sidewalks of your
town, and if, you, had your way,
there wouldn’t be any sidewalks,
because you don’jt get “anything out
l,f them.” Yoai don’t see any need
in churches,,.’you would close up the
schools, annul the statutes, because
you don't “get anything out of
them.” You don’t see any use in
flowers,' yqg would chop them up
and plant corn in,,the front yard if
your wife should consent because
you don’t “get anything out of
them. You despise music, you hate
books, you won’t read the newspa¬
pers, and this very article which is
intended for you will never reach
your sordid, shriveled, atomic brain
unless your liberal neighbor holds
you by your coat lappel and rams it
down you because he knows you are
such a mean, little man.
Don’t you see that the school ed¬
ucates people to build better houses,
to raise better crops, to manufacture
better goods, to bring more money
into your town to help you? Don’t
you see that the church cultivates
the better side of men to make them
kinder, gentler, more charitable,
more loving so that everybody may
wprk together for good to help you?
Don’t you see that the laws are en¬
acted to regulate the relation and
conduct of men for your prosperity
and protection? Don’t you see that
the flowers with their beauty and
fragrance are placed on the earth to
brighten the spirits of men who are
stingy and erabid and mean like you?
Don’t you see that sweet music is
the greatest balm In God’s realm to
soften the raging souls of men and
to drive away tiie cares and crosses
of a villain like you? Don’t you
see your newspaper lending every
effort day by day to the advance¬
ment of your community and hardly
getting a living out of it all for,
your sake?
No, you don’t see it, you are too
mean, and you never will be any
better because you won’t read or
listen.—Douglas Breeze.
A young fellow’ owed a dollar.
He had only seventy-five cents to
pay such with, lie went to a pawn¬
broker and pawned the seventy-five
Cents for fifty cents, lie then sold
the pawn ticket for fifty cents.
That gave him one dollar. Ife is
said to have paid the debt. Do you
think he made off the transaction?
Did the pawnbroker lose, or how
was it? Take a day off and puzzle
over the proposition. It is as sim¬
ple as daylight.—Dalton Citizen.
Nervous prostration is a term
commonly used to indicate a weak¬
ened and debilitated state of the
nervous systeui and a vitiated con¬
dition of the blood. Its symptoms
are unusual nervousness, great irri¬
tability, and incapacity for physical
or mental labor, and it is caused by
errors in diet or hygiene. Dr. J. H.
McLean’s Strengthening Cordial
and Blood Purifier is recognized ev¬
erywhere, even by the medical pro¬
fession, as a superior remedy to
counteract weakness of this charac¬
ter. Price 50c and .$1 a bottle.

“Brushy Crook."
Editor Dispatch: Seeing the
flaming account of tlm recent sing¬
ing convention at Brushy Greek
church leads my mind back to twen¬
ty years ago, when 1 made my first
visit to that place. 1 had heard of
their fine meetings down there, so I,
in company with old brother J. O.
Towns, started for the yearly moot¬
ing.
The first day’s travel brought us
to the home of old father “Arcie”
McMillan, where we spent the night
pleasantly. I love to think of this
good family and their old-fashioned
home. A good many of this sort
of homes were in Irwin county then,
but they arc few now. That coun¬
try lias stepped up on a higher plane
—more style and fashion. At this
good home I saw five spinning
wheels standing on the baekway
and was told there were more in the
kitchen. After breakfast we all
struck out for the church, thirteen
miles all on horseback. Old sister
McMillan made that trip hack and
forth every day on horseback.
The congregation was large on
Friday and grew larger every day.
The richness of this meeting to me
will never half be told. Their man¬
ner of worship was plain and un¬
pretending. Their songs were ear¬
nest and spiritual. I thought of its
earnestness as when the Apostles
taught the people. Elder Young
stood as a Monarch among his peo¬
ple—when he stood up the people
listened. His regular meetings as¬
sembled the largest crowds of peo¬
ple of any man I ever knew. In
fact, he was no ordinary man. His
prayers were pathetic and touching,
his thoughts deep and profound, his
address pleasant and attractive, his
manner courteous and kind. To
know him was to love him.
There had Ju^n a recent associa-
tional action, separating this church
and some others from the general
correspondence, and in those days
the action of an association was as
the ruling of a Supreme court. Its
decision was law to the churches,
and this is why Baptists arc now
moving every where to either reform
or abolish associations. But the as¬
sociation had drawn the dead line
between me and these good brethren
and I dare not cross it in any official
affiliation. This was one of the
hard trials of my life. I saw the
spirit of Christ there if I ever saw
it anywhere. I saw and felt it as
plain as Peter did at the house of
Cornelius, but 1 must treat them as
“the uncircumcised.” Ah, that as-
sociational yoke has galled many a
neck! And even now, some brethren
carry the idea that for an association
to drop a church is to make void its
official acts thereafter. But this
idea is fast dying oat. I wish that
Baptists would be governed more by
the spirit of Christ than by tradi¬
tional formalism. Before any act
of a church or a member is made a
test of fellowship that act should be
tested—not by custom or tradition,
but by the scriptures. The law of
God “Is the only rule” in the house
of God, and I wish every Baptist
in this country would consider this.
It is enforcing the laws of men in
the house of God that plays havoc
with the churches.
But I have said so much in this
letter that I didn’t aim to say, I will
have to leave until next week a good
many things 1 did aim to say or
make my letter too long.

Mrs. Thomas II. Gaskins left last
Saturday night attended by her
physician, Dr. P. II. Askew, for
Augusta, Ga., where she will submit
to a surgical operation for the bene¬
fit of her health. Mrs. Gaskins has
been troubled for several months
with some dropsical trouble. All
that could be done by the local
physicians seems of no avail and it
was decided last week to have a sur¬
gical operation. Dr. Askew re¬
turned home Wednesday night. Ho
states that the operation was entire¬
ly successful and that the patient
was doing fine when he left her
Wednesday morning, and if no seri¬
ous results set in she will be able to
return home in two weeks.—Berrien

The Macon Telegraph says mill
men are offering the wheat growers
ninety cents a bushel for their wheat.
Another offer is to take their wheat,
receipt for it and ship them flour as
they need it. In Bibb county, the
Telegraph says, some yields will
reach as high as thirty-fivo bushels
per acre. The blue stem variety is
the most popular.
A young man in one of our elec¬
tric cars observing that a handsome
young lady sitting opposite was
looking at him very intently, and
thinking that he might have im¬
pressed her favorably changed his
seat to one by her side and said,
“Haven’t I seen you somewhere?”
“Well,” she replied, “I am not quite
certain, but I think you are the man
that stole our spoons.” He left the
cars at once.- —Ex.
On Tuesday afternoon of last
week, Folk Mullis, the eiglit-year-
old sen of Mr. J. Iv. I’. Mullis, who
lives about eight miles from East¬
man, on the Dublin road, took the
family horse as usual and went to
drive up the cattle. In the drove
was a Jersey bull which had never
before given trouble, but when in
the lane near the cow pen he vic¬
iously attacked the horse, and get¬
ting him hemmed in by the fence,
gored him completely to death.
The little hoy jumped off on the
opposite side from the bull and es¬
caped unhurt.—Eastman Times.
Joe Lee, the Chinaman who came
to this city several years ago and
who has been running a shop on
Savannah avenue, was married last
night to Georgia Thomas, a negro
girl, the ceremony being performed
by Judge Tom Cook, who, before
agreeing to tie the knot, consulted
some of the lawyers and satisfied
himself that such a marriage was
not illegal. To a Times reporter,
Joe appeared timid on the subject
of his marriage, but finally said:
“Melican girl no mally Chinaman;
I mally finest cullud girl in town—
she a good girl.” Then after a
pause, he added, “She sho’ is.”—
