A New Aid Fable.
This is not a George Ado fable, though it xnay sling some
slang. It is a Home Aid fable.
Once there was a Geezer, who sat around and cut Kindling
too small for Cook Stove purposes. He Whittled against Time
and Flabbergasted against his Town. The town was No Good,
he said—strictly on the Blink. Yes, it was N. G. Why,
hadn’t he lived Here since ’B4 and found that the Place was
Punky? Sure, Mike!
Look at that town over in the next County. Grown like
Jonah’s Gourd. Must be a Jonah here. We’ve grown some,
but I don’t see that we’re knocking any particularly Big Per
simmons. That’s the way this Gazaboo knocked his town.
One day a Sarcastic Stranger floated Into the Town that
was Knocked from the burg that had Blossomed like Jonah's
Gourd. He Heard some
—. iii ■ ■ of the Flabbergasting
AC and Dropped to the sit
-1 \ uatlon.
\ J “Look here, you,” he
\£_ remarked to the citizen
Y"\ who was Handing Out
\\ the Knocks. “What do
| \ you do for this town?
1 \ Are you doing your part
VI to put this Burg on the
Upgrade? What's that
lir jAMjgßgjSj hefty Bunch of litera
l tore
“That's a Mail Order
I Catalogue from Chl-
cago— a
nml A HHn| town," replied the Gee
“So I thought,” said
HHjB al. “Now let me hand
■A HbMwM you out a nice little
HWBWj Wad of rommon sense.
For the past ten years
■; ,i'U' -"“Wk you have been sending
your money to the Chl
cago Mail Order houses
instead spending It
among your home mer-
Jwji chants. What would
have happened to Chl
rbwf J WStiSf SfifelM cago fifty years ago If
JHr all the First Settlers
M had sll 'PP ed their Loose
Coin to New York on
/Btr catalogue inducements?
Why, you’d have to use
a sand dredger now to
find the Original Site
r, * of Chicago. Now, In the
’ '■'■ 1 ■—■ Burg from which I
have Just Blown in we
got over all this Bum Business years ago. We passed Resolutions
that we would trade at home and help our own town to Spread
out so that you could Sight It on the map without using Opera
Glasses. But you and a Bunch of other folks In this town have
wasted your Substance In Riotous Expenditures In Chicago by
mall and let the sheriff hang out the ‘Nothing Doing’ sign In
front of some of your own town’s mercantile Emporiums. Look
at our Town and then look at yours. What makes the Differ
ence?”
Whereupon the Whittling Gazaboo threw a few well cho
sen Thoughts into his mental makeup and went down to the
village store to Annex a linen collar in place of the Paper
Circles which he had bought from Chicago at Two Bits a Box.
MORAL: If you want your town to
grow, patronize home enterprises.

A Handsome Woman
Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liver derange
ments, blood impurities and other (
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
derangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, a con
stant tired feeling—mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain’s Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in nature** own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up tho liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
that they have taken medicine. Chamberlain**
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness,
indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold ev
erywhere. Price 25 cents.

A Preacher and His Mission.
The great Scottish theologian and
orientalist Dr. Duncan was so absent
minded that he frequently forgot his
surroundings and the object of his
mission to any particular locality.
Haring to preach in a church near
Aberdeen, he set out on the appointed
Sunday morning to walk to the church,
a short distance out of town. Some
where on the road he reached the sev
enth heaven of mental exaltation, for
getful alike of time, place and circum
stance. The road led straight to the
church, and he wandered along in his
abstracted state until it was reached.
Seeing people entering, the divine
followed them Inside. Approaching an
elder, he Inquired who was to deliver
the Sabbath discourse. When told that
he himself was to preach be “came
down to earth again.”—Chicago Rec
ord-Her&ld.

The Shanting Baptist Associa
tion.
BY C. W. PRUITT.
This body has just closed its ses
sion with the church in Chefoo.
There were twenty churches rep
resented, two of them newly con
stituted ones. The great majority
of the churches hid only two dele
gatee each, though entitled to
more. Chefoo is at one end of the
territory and the expense of getting
here was considerable-
The meetings were fine. In my
opinion they were the best we have
ever had. There was a fine spirit
of brotherly love.
The churches reported 378 bap
tisms, three more than last year.
The association numbers now al
most three thousand. The growth
is due to the hle&sing of a good
Heavenly Father.
The territory covered by the as
sociation is very large, many times
as large as that of the Hightower,
The population between our
churches ; s very dense. There is
much less opposition than former
ly, and we believe th t the growth
will be much more rapid.
In one respect our association is
behind, so far we have only two
[Chinese ordained preachers We
have a number of biceutiates and
are hoping that ordained preach
ers will be more numerous after
awhile.
In another respect we are be
hind the Hightower. The churches
where the association meets here
do not entertain the delegatee ex
cept in part. The reason is that
they are poor and are not able to
look after a number of guests.
In some other respects they do
splendidly. Their meetings were
long continued, four sessions a day.
The first befoie breakfast, the last
after supper. There was nothing
lazy about this association. The
delegates were always in place.
Any absentee had to five any ac
count of his absence. I 'eachad
, hma before this association was
formed, and so I have known it
from the beg uiling.
Motive of Intention to Introduce
Bill.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to
section 7, Art 3, Par. 16 of the Constitu
tion of the State of Georgia, embodied in
section 5778 of the Civil Code of 1893, I
will introduce at the next session of the
General Assembly of Georgia which
convenes on the 4th Wednesday in June,
1910, a loaal bill to be:

10th. 1885. repealing an Act approved

of raising revenue therefor; to provide a

and collection of taxes on the property
therein and all business or callings: to
provide foi a sanitary board; and to pro
vide for the condemnation of private
property for streets and side walks and
for the public safety; to provide for a
Board of Commissioners of water and
lights; to provide for >he condemnation

off the town into wards and tj provide
