They ere All There.
A Tsnnesse editor sizes up a grave¬
yard in hie bailiwick as follows:
Take a walk through the cemetery
and you will pass the last resting
,
place of the man who blew into 1 the
muzzle of a gun to see if it was
loaded. A little further down the
slope ie the crank who tried to see how
close he could pass in front of a
’moving train. In strolling about
you see the modest monument of the
hired girl who tried to start a fire
with kerosene; and the grass-covered
knoll'that covers the boy who put a
corn-cob under the mule’s tail. The
tall shaft over the man who blew out
the gas casts a shadow across the boy
who tried to jump a : moving train.
Side by side the etheral creature who
Wiways had her corset laced to the
last hole, and the intelligent idiot
who rode a bicycle nine miles in ten
minutes, sleep on undisturbed.
“In repose is the doctor who took
a dose of hie own midieine. There,
with the top of a shoe box driven
over hie head is the rich old man
who married a young wife. Away
>over!there reposes the boy who
fished on Sunday, and one who kept
atrichnine with powders in the cup¬
board, The man who stood in front
of the mowing machine to oil the
cycle is quiet now, and rests beside
the earless breakman who fed him¬
self to a 70-ton engine; and over in
-the corner of the fence in the pot¬
ters’s field may be seen the bleach
mg bones of the man who tried to
whip the editor because he asked
him to ;pay his subscription.”
An Editor'* Life Saved by Chamber¬
lain's Cough Remedy.
During the early part of October,
1806, 1 contracted a bad cold which
settled jipon my lungs and was neg¬
lected until I feared that consump¬
tion had appeared in an incipient
state. I was constantly couching
and faying to expel something which
I could not. I became alarmed and
after giving the local doctor a trial
bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the result was
immediate improvement, and after
I had used three bottles my lungs
were restored to their healthy state.

The act passed by the last legis-
'lalure ntskes it unlawful to net
quail at any season of the year.
Nothing is said against trapping,
therefore there is nothing to prevent
•‘'farmers’ boys” for trapping birds
■for their amusmement. The courtB
in many states have held, however,
that laws prohibiting the netting of
quail also prohibited.trapping. This
is a question for the courts of Geor-
■ gia to decide, and inasmuch as trap¬
ping is ndt mentioned in connection
'with netting it will be taken for
granted that the legislature did not
intend to proihbit
cross Journal.

Colden Words.
Boys, love your mother. Don’t
mind being tied to her apron string.
( Tis a dear old stand by and guide.
Look at those wrinkles. Do you
know what caused many of them?
Caving for you. Let her kuow you
appreciate her. Many a mother’s
heart aches and yearns for the little
attentions that sweeten life. Com¬
pliment her, she will not think you
“soft.’’ Those silver hairs, whether
few or many, are only the snow¬
flakes time lovingly scatters—they
are a crown of glory on your
mother’s queenly head. Don’t let
the dimples fall into hard lines. Be
chivalrous to her—make her proud
of her boy.
Treat her well and when the clods
fall on her coffin lid they will
awaken no throb of remorse in
your heart-—Adel News. Miss Ten¬
nant writes well always. Her at;
tides are philosophical, tender, pa¬
thetic—instructive and entertaining
to old and young We commend the
above to our boy readers and
urge them to memorize it and adopt
it as a guide for their conduct to¬
ward their mothers.
There is no better medicine for
the babies tha » Chnuabnrlain’s
Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste
and prompt aud effectual cures make
it a favorite with mothers and small
children. ’ It quickly cures their
coughs and colds, preventing pneu¬
monia or other sierious cousequeuces.
It also cures croup and has been
used in tens of thousands of cases
without a single failure so far as we
have been able to learu. It not only
cures croup, but when given as soon
as the croupy cough appears, w ill
prevent the attack. In cases of
whooping cough it liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easy to ex¬
pectorate, and lessens the severity
and frequency of the paroxysms of
coughing, thus depriving that dis¬
ease of all dangerous consequences.

The other day the Leader ques¬
tioned a farmer in the southern por¬
tion of the county in regard to the
dog law and other matters, and this
is the way he talked. “This dog tax
business is nothing but an imposi¬
tion an the rights of the people. We
need dogs on our places, but we
can’t afford to pay tax on them.
And I reckon if we do away with
them wild varmints will multiply so
that we can’t raise hogs, cattle and
sheep to any advantage. The legis¬
lature is getting worse about taking
away the rights of the people. First
thing.you know they will be wanting
to put a special tax on chickens,
double taxing every one with spurs.
The legislature costs nearly $70,000
a year, and it’s that much money
wasted. If no.more laws were made
ten years it would be a good
Lbing for the country. V< e’ve got
to ° man J law * now, and this dog
law is one of them.”—Cuthbert
Leader.

Tried to Aset the Records.
Miss Nancy Burdett, who is sixty
years of age, walked into the office
of the clerk of the snperior court of
DeKalb county, in Decatur, and
asked Clerk II. H. Burgess for per¬
mission to look at the record of a
deed made by her mother to herself
and several other heirs ten years ago.
When the record book had been
placed before her and the deed she-
desired had been found she suddenly
snatched the leaf containing the

quickly transferred it to her mouth
and attempted to swallow it.
Clerk Burgess and Deputy Clerk
Hilliard saw the attempt. Beat on
saving the deed, both grabbed the

to close the passage -against the ir-
retreivabl* less of the record. The
other forced his Augers into her
mouth, and after « desperate strug-

mutilated and covered with blood,
Miss Burdett sauk back in a chair

She was detained iu tho office
while Mr. Burgess wont before Jus-
