THE SPAN OF LIFE.
(I’porn IJhwm to Night.)
The* duwn Is gvuy.
And night ’s (lurk t Inflows fiido nwuy;
Sing low. sing swhhI, t he lulliihy,
The llttlo ono lies still and slot |>k.
Whllo softly through Iho oasomont oreops
'I he light of day.
And night winds whisper .'to t.h' v Hie
The lullaby.
v'yuld wv could toll
What happy thoughts and fancies dwell,
A>j. halty’s cru.dk* rocks away;
Wide op'.'p arc the (tear* iio’s eyes.
An unknown world before them lies;
Yet cp.ine.what .u.ay,
The Tiiotlior weaves her tender spell,
A.nd all is well.
And morning brings
The soft unfolding of the wings.
The steps of tiny feet,
The prattle tin ;- may understand
Save those who (Iweil^it I’libyland:
While the lips repeat
The nursery songs of childish tilings
That mother sings.
The moon's bright rays
Shine down on books and childhood's plays;
And vanished, one by one,
Are ragged dolls and broken toys.
Wiiile now is heard the fun and noise
When school is'o.one.
A nd yet wc miss the baby ways
Of other days.
The tide is high.
And on Life's stream the suntx-arns lie;
Then comes a tender st rain
Of happy music, soft and low.
Love guides the frail bark to and fro
With sweet ref non.
You til's. A fie moon elides swiftly by
While Love is nigh.
The Dusk comes on
And hides the glories of the sun;
Vet all the heavens ring'
•\\ith we eding bells, for life-is blest,.
And happy is the cosy nest
Where Love is king.
Jiis .joyous reign hath just begun
Though day is done.
Now near, now far,
There comes the moaning of the bar.
While Life’s bark glides along.
Long years have turned the tresses gray,
Yet dear ones ch.ee»* f the.pnward way
With happy song;
And Love still reigns, while shines afar
Thc* Eve nin g s tar.
X.aw bent and white
Are tired heads; the failing sight
Scarce sees the shadows creep.
The bark of Life hath touched the strand,
And Old Age waits with folded hand
The long, last sleep.
A breath a touch of lingers light--
And it is flight.

“According to high authority,
cold water is a valuable stimulant to
many, if not all, people. Its action

Dr,IT 11. Askew , . net achieved
lias ]
a remarkable success for a young
practitioner. It was an operation
that removed from Mrs. Thos. II.
Gaskins a cystic tumor weighing,
over twenty-five pounds. The op¬
eration was performed at the Au¬
gusta hospital, and the patient is so
far recovered as to be able to return
home within the week.—Tifton Ga¬

The Marietta Journal solves the
enigma of life in the following sen¬
sible paragraph: If a man cheats
you, cease to deal with him; if'he
is abusive, quit his company; if he
slanders you, take care to live so
that noboddy will believe him. No
matter who he is or how ho misuses
you, the wise way is to let him
alone, for there is nothing better
than this calm, cool and quiet way
of dealing with the wrongs we
with. Lies unheeded will die; fires
unfanned will die out, and quarrels
neglected* become as dull as the all
but extinct volcano.”
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 tlie drug¬
gist recommended me to try Cham¬
berlain’s Pain Balm. I tried it and
one-halt’ of a 50-cent bottle cured
me entirely. I now recommend it
to all my friends.—F. A. Babcock,

Here is the way the Senoia Enter¬
prise-Gazette gets after some of its
citizens: “Some people who claim
to he decent and civilized allow
enough garbage and filth to accumu¬
late on their premises to make sick
a whole regiment, and because they
do this, and at the same time pre¬
tend to be decent, the authorities
let them alone, when if an example
were made of some of these decent,
dirty scoundrels, a vast deal of good
would result. If Sensible, cultured
white people will not look after the
healthfulness of their, premises,
what can you expect of negroes and
scalawags?”

Wheat in Brooks.
People who have Unbounded faith
in the possibilities of this section of
the country have insisted that al¬
most anything could be grown here
with the proper amount of intelli¬
gence. Since the successful experi¬
ment in wheat raising this begins to
seem true. F. B. Bregdon, who
teaches school at Barney, came,from
ihe wheat growing part of North
Georgia and detected a likeness in
the red lands of Brooks, to the
wheat lands of North Georgia.
He persuaded some of his farmer
neighbors to try wheat on these
lands, using the well known precau¬
tion against rust of soaking the seed
in bluestone water before planting.
About 50 or 75 bushels of bluestraw
seed were bought in North Georgia
by several of these farmers and
planted -without fertilizers, being
sown broadcast and harrowed in.
That was last fall. The wheat
has now been harvested and thrashed
and the experiment is an admitted
success. A. G. Scruggs was more
successful, having an average yield
of 04 bushels to the acre, several
others making 7 bushels to the acre.
The'rust ruined some of the wheat,
but investigation showed it to inva¬
riably have appeared in the bottom
land wheat. That planted on the
red rolling lands was entirely free
from rust.—Quitman Free Press.

For a business man to say to the
advertising solicitor: “Oh! good¬
ness, no. It’s too dull to advertise
now. Wait Until times pick up a
little,” is equivalent to ^ very sick

Food For c Thought.
There are too many creeds, but
not enough living epistles.
There is too much churchism, hut
not enough Christianity.
There is too much formality, hut
not enough Christianity.
There are plenty of professing
Christians, but how many of us have
“the spirit and the mind that was
in Christ?”
“If any man have not the spirit
of Christ, he is none of his.”—Ex.
On Monday night last, a negro
entered the sleeping room of two
daughters of Mr. F. M. Mullis, a
respectable farmer living near Pear¬
son, and attempted a criminal as¬
sault. The screams of the young
ladies aroused the other inmates of
the house, and the black fiend made
his escape without accomplishing
his hellish purpose, A .posse is giv¬
ing chase, and if caught his trial
will be short. Ho is described as a
black negro, 24 or 25 years old,
weighing about 190 pounds, six feet
high, teeth inclined to protrude and
high cheek bones. Our people will
look for, arrest and hold for identi-
fication by F. M. Sweat, McDon¬
ald’s Mill, Ga.—Douglas Breeze.
liofcbeii i.Sie Grave.
- A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as
follows: “I was in a most dread¬
ful condition. My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back arid sides,
no appetite— gradually growing
weaker day by day. Throe physi¬
cians had given me up. Fortunate¬
ly'', a friend advised trying ‘Electric
Bitters;’and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a de-
cided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now'a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of an¬
other victim.” No one should fail
to try them. Only 50 cents, guar¬
anteed, at, Dr. G. H. Macon & Co’s.
Drug Store.
The last hanging, and perhaps the
only lawful hanging that ever took
place in Harris county, was in 1838.
The subject was a negro, and he
was sentenced by the old inferior
court. His crime was burglary, and
five judges sat on the case. Ho
broke into a store at Whitosville
and stole a watch. lie was hung
on a gallows on the old Whitosville
road. In 1840 another negro was
sentenced to be hanged, but died on
the day he was to he executed. He
was sentenced for the murder of his
master, and his own untimely death
was caused by a gunshot wound
from on.e of his guards, received
on the previous night.—Ex.
Last week, says an exchange, a
delinquent subseiber said he would
pay Up if he lived. He died.. An¬
other said, “I will see you to-mor-
1 row.” He’s blind. Still another
“I’ll pay you this week or go
to the devil.” He’s gone. There
are hundreds who ought to take
warning of these procrastinators
and pay up now.
