While hunting in the mountains, about six miles from this place, Speer Hughes, a senior of Young Hams college, lost his balance and fell over Raven Falls. The dis tance was about 130 feet, and the injuries he sustained later proved to be fatal. His skull was frac tured. He never regained con sciousness after the fall. Mr. Hughes would have received a diploma next Mnday evening, and was scheduled to make a speech on Americans Right to Live.” He was a favorite in his class. His remaine were sent home. The whole „enior class marched with him *o the corporate limits, and sang as he was borne away. “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” Mr. Hughes was the son of Rev. J. W. Hughes, of near Novetta, this county, and had many friends who were deeply grieved at his sudden death. The bereaved 'par ents have the sympathy ot all. Notice to Mosons.

A Swiss workman was busy repair ing the roof of a small railroad sta tion, says the Strand Magazine, when the cleat against which he was rest ing gave way and he began to slide over the edge of the roof. To avoid a spiked Iron railing below he made a desperate jump into splice. An ex press train was rushing by, and the man landed on the roof of a car. His outfiung hands found and clutched a ventilator chimney. He was carried on four miles to the next station and descended unhurt. More tragic was the occurrence on a Rocky mountain railroad. Four em ployees of the Great Northern were speeding down a precipitous grade on a hand car at thirty miles an hour when a special train confronted them around a curve. There was no avoid ance of a collision. Two of the men jumped to death on the rocks below. The others stuck to the car, and one was crushed by the wheels of the ad vancing engine, but the other man was tossed uninjured into a clump of bushes which grew on a projecting rock twenty feet below the edge of the cliff. It was the only safe place where he could have fallen. Wanted—Teachers. School teachers—l have the questions and answers of the last seven State school examinations in print.

Ivey. Letter to G F Otwell, Cumming, Ga. Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine full of knots are two different things; they are both called pine. Clear paint and paint adultera ted with whiting, china-clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine and water, are different things; they are both called paint. It takes less labor to work clear pine than pine knots, and costs less money. It takes less labor to paint clear paint than half-whiting or half china-clay or half ground stone or half baryte*. These mixtures make more gallons, not more paint There’s no more milk in two quarts of milk-and-water Ilian in one quart of milk. If you paint two gallons for one you pay dou ble for labor ; and labpr costs more than paint. You know how it is with clear lumber and knots. It’s the same with all paint and half-paint. A duy’s-work is a gallon of paint or half-paint. Apply it to business. Suppose you have two houses, same size; paint one Devoe, the other the other prominent paint in your town. It takes lft gallons Devoe, sl. 75 a galloo, $17.50 for paint, $3 a gal lon for labor, 880 for labor ; whole job, $47 5O It takes 15 gallons of ttns other paint, same price, $26 25 for paint ; $3 a gallon for labor, $45 for labor ; whole job s7l. 25. And which wears best, clear pin. or pine knots? Devoe wears bet ter than that weak pai.it, What warrant is there for say ing'that paint is weak? It takes more gallons. Yours truly 84 F W DEVOE & CO.

Dr. L. D, Rhodes, Dentist. Cumming, Ga. The editor of a local paper is often unjustly censured for his mistakes. The wonder is that he does not make more of them. On the average paper be must deal with all kinds of subjects, give the names, dates, etc. One hour he may be engaged in reporting a re ligious meeting and the next draw ing the picture of a fight' He must condense and fill with his items several columns, whether events are transpiring to throw up material for his use or not. Count the local items in a paper and im agine how many steps they have required, how much mental anxie ty, weary and work they have cost and some idea of the editor’s work can be'gatherd. The smallest may have cost him a long walk and much effort to reach the facts. There is no end to his work. When one paper goes to press he turns his attention to the next one. He makes the rounds in searcn of news and may not get a line. He may lab*r*for hours in chasing down a rumor only to find that there iB [nothing in it. Hi 6 local columns stare him in the face and demand to be filled not with skim milk but with cream of the news events and matters of interest. His bounds are limited and yet he must find in each day and all through the week, month and year something of interest to the pub lic. No more perfect treadmill could be devised. With such a constant strain, producing weari ness of the body and mind and an almost endless variety of subjects to be touched upon, is it surprising that be should occasionally make a mistake? Other people do, why shouldn’t au editor? Won’t Slight A Good Friend. “If ever I need a cough medicine again I kriow what to get,” declares Mrs. A. L.
