When the whole mad world’s . Wu , gw
W hen the inumihw glows and tho orchard

And the air’s with love-notes teeming,
When fancies break and the senses wake
O, life’s a dream worth dreaming.
What Nature lias writ with her lusty wit

One of Rochelle’s popular widow¬
ers, who has had matrimonial aspi¬
rations for several months, is now
squarely on the carpet, if s ; gns are
true. He is now receiving certain
matrimonial papers most every day,
and spends all his leisure moments
in carefully perusing them in the
hope of finding a helpmeet. It’s
strange to the New Era that as ma¬
ny young ladies, old maids and wid-
OW8 t\;at there are in Rochelle, that
this old widower is forced to take
this route in order to jump in double
harness, but that’s the case, and he
is making good headway,

here would like to read one of
“them” papers.

across a freak in his barn. It is
a rat with only two feet and legs.
It was managing to keep the wolf

properly expected to be. The hind

The boys’ poker club seams to be
in a flourishing condition. A crowd
of young men who have not struck
a lick of work since “Penny was a
pup,” belong to the gang. They
play day and night, including Sun¬
day, so ws are informed, and the
police should investigate.—Way-1
cross Herald. It is strange to hear
that boys play poker in bo moral a
town as Waycross.

ed and an inquest was held Wednes¬

The editor of the Morgan Moni-
tor correctly says, “Fay the news-
paper man and he will be sure to
put the money in circulation.” To
make the point clear, he says: “The J

he lost sight of that dollar it had ;
paid four debts, of ons dollar each,
and the lost we saw of it, the man j

properties of the blood from which
the elements of vitality are drawn.

The saturnalia of savagery is still
g 0 ; n£ , on in the southern states.
Lynching bees are the curse of the
country.—-Savannah Press. And
there are others. The southern
States arc cursed with a black cloud
which is driving the people from
the farms to the already congested
towns, because of a well grounded
fear that their women are not- safe
away from police protection. Lynch¬
ing bees are the answer of one kind
of savagery to another kind—Al¬
bany Herald. Tersely said and
striokly true.

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. Mv skin was almost,
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in my back and
sides, no appetite—gradually day. grow¬ Three
ing weaker day by
physicians had given me up. For¬
tunately, a friend advised trying
Electric Bitters;’and to my great
joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. 1
continued their use for three weeks,
and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the
gravo of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50c.,

An exchange says that an editor
once applied at the door of hades
for admission. “Vv ell,” replied his
sable majesty, “we let one of your
profession in here many years ago
and he kept up a continual row
with his delinquent subscribers; and,
as we have more of that class of

passed a law prohibiting the ad¬

It is a sad commentary on the
state of Georgia, that she can’t get

If you advertise sparingly your
trade will be sparing. Advertise
and quit and the trade quits. Curi¬
ous, but it is true. The man that

of ethers, is a slicker. Suckers ar<s

Another influence adverse to life,
is that mental feebleness which ren¬

about their health, effeminate and
unhappy.
“That’s a fine solid baby of

A New England advertiser wants
