by his close study and application

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, February. 5, 1889.
Nutriment in Rice.
Touching- the nutritious value
of various foods variously cooked,
it may be well just now to point
out that one pound of rice, pre¬
pared for the table, gives eighty
eight per cent, of nutriment, and,
consequently, a relatively propor¬
tional ability to labor compared
with other articles of food. A
pound of beef contains only
twenty-five per cent, of nutriment;
yet countless numbers strain a
point daily to purchase beef, when
they could get a pound of rice for
one-third of the amount; the rice
moreover, having three times as
much nutriment as the pound of
beef, making a practical difference
of 800 per cent. There is, also,
the additional fact to be consider¬
ed that boiled rice is digested in
about an hour; roast beef, on the
contrary, requiring three hours and
a half. There is meaning, after
all, in the fact that two-fifths of the
human family live on rice. Mut¬
ton is five per cent, more nutri¬
tious than beef, plums four per
cent, and grapes two per cent.
Codfish yields only twenty one
per cent, nutriment. Contrary to
popular ideas, apples yield three
per cent, more nutriment than
milk.
A Spring medicine is needed by
everyone, Winter food, largely
consisting of salt meat and animal
fats, causes the liver to become
disordered and the blood impure,
hence the necessity of a cleansing
medicine. The best is Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla.
Silence is said to be the wit of
fools; but they do not always have
it with them.
Statistics compiled by the
Housewife show that out of 612
young ladies who fainted last year
more than half of them fell into
the "arms of gentlemen, and that
only three of them had the bad
taste to drop on the floor. The
Baltimore Herald thinks that the
figures show that the average
young lady, when on the point of
fainting, is not entirely devoid of
sentiment. To put off a swoon
until a man heaves in sight in¬
dicates great will power under
discouraging circumstances.
Evangelist Moody is having
singular success in Califoi’nia. At
a recent meeting in San Francis¬
co, when at the conclusion of his
address Mr. Moody requested
“the sinners” to go into the inqui
ry room, a crowd poured in that
filled every inch of space. It
seemed as if full half of the 6,000
present were endeavoring to get
into the small room, and it was
some time before it became quiet
enough to proceed.
A curious sight near Ellijay,

Some Are Slaves.
There is one thing above all oth¬
ers that needs to be impressed
upon the farmers of Georgia, and
that is, that so long as they are in
debt, to that extend they are slaves
to their creditors. A man who is
in debt is a slave. Let every far¬
mer make up his mind to first get
out of debt. If he Cannot get out
any other way, sell enough of land
to pay out, and then keep clear.
Unproductive land with a ten per
cent, mortgage out side of it, wil]
pull a man down spite of himself.
If men would content themselves
with the land which they can
farm, there would be few mort¬
gages. The hen that sets on too
many eggs usually spoils the nest.
Frequently accidents occur in
the household which cause burns,
cuts, sprains and bruises; for use
in such cases Dr. J. H. McLean’s

It is rumored that the Standard
Oil Company will erect and ope¬
rate quite a number of pine straw'

VVe are not sure that our short

this or soma other rich company
to come into Rockdale county and
try the experiment.
The late Mr. Beecher’s successor
as pastor of Plymouth church is
Dr. Abbott, but a number of for¬

A Charleston correspondent of
the New York Times says the peo¬
ple of South Carolina are begin¬
ning to groan under their confed¬
erate pension burdens. Very
probably the correspondent is
mistaken. The people of South
Carolina are not likely to grum¬
ble because they are called on to
aid veterans who became disabled
in the south’s defense, No
southern state does more for her
confederate veterans than the
condition of her treasury justifies,
and no southern taxpayer regrets
the mite he pays to tho veterans.

He stood with one foot on the

to his wife, who sat in the wagon

“A dollar.”
“What! A hull dollar for two

“Yes.”
“We can’t afford it. That’s per¬
fectly reckless.”
“But I want ’em.”
“Yes, I suppose so, but you can’t
have ’em. Look-a-here. I’ve got
to have a necktie, a new hat, a

Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, is dis¬
posed to believe that the acts of
the "White Caps in that state are
merely those of practical jokers—
at least, so he says. He may be
right. Last Friday night a band
of these practical jokers took pos¬
session of the town of Jeromeville
in that state, and demolished three
houses. This may have beon
done playfully, but at the same
time it was done effectually. Gov.
Foraker should issue a proclama¬
tion against practical jokers.
Judge Sprague had his feet

he said: “The morality of no peo¬

When a hundred bottles of sar¬
saparilla or other pretentious
specifics fail to eradicate in-born
scrofula or contagious blood
poison, remember that B. B. B.
(Botanic Blood Balm) has gained
many thousand victories, in as
many seemingly incurable in
stances. Send to the Blood Balm
Co., Atlanta, Ga., for “Book of
Wonders,” and be convinced. It
is the only true blood fubifieb.
G. W. Messer, Howell’s X
Ptoads, Ga., writes: “I was

Mrs. S. M. Wilson, Round Moun¬

She took Jthree bottles of B. B. B.
and her skin got soft and smooth,
pimples disappeared, and her
health improved greatly."’
Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “Some years ago I con¬
tracted blood poison. I had no

I could hardly walk, my throat
was cauterized five times. Hot
Springs gave me no benefit, and

"Washington Gladden makes
some very startling statements as
to the prevalence of the drink hab¬
it among women of England. He
affirms upon observation gathered
in a five weeks’ visit in London
that shop girls and working wom¬
en of the lower and middle classes
go without shame into public
drinking places and drink at the
same bar with men. Most Amer¬
icans will lift up their hands in
holy horror at the intimation of
such a state of affairs coming
about in America. But as sure as
we go on legalizing such places
and trying to elevate them by high
license, we are hastening the day
when there will bo no shame be¬

Mr. Thurman has had very little

Mahoney, the Irish wit, known
as “Father Prout,” once called on
a literary lady, whom he found
conversing with a gentleman
whose manners indicated his fam

whose apparel betrayed his slov¬

well-bread ease and courtly tone?
asked tho lady of Mahoney, after
the gentleman had left the room.
“Yes growled the cynical wit;
