I he Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed.
People are often very much disap
pointed to find that their family physi
cian is away from Home when they most
need his services. Diseases like pain in
the stomach anc. bowels, colic and diarr
hoea require p ompt treatment, and
have in manv instances proven fatal be
fore medicine could be procured or a
physician summonid, The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Colic and Diarihoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe a better medicine
for th"se diseases. By having it in the
house you escape much pain and suffer
ing and all risk. Buy'it now; it may
save life.
GUMMING, GA OCTOBER 1! 1918
Keep the HunJDti the Run!
FINISH THE JOB NOW!
We MUST finish the job NOW, when our boys in France have the Hun
on the run.
Not all of us can wear a uniform and carry a rifle, but. we can back
up the boys with our dollars and prate to them that we are with them
to our last cent.
The best way to prove to Kaiser Wilhelm that all America is in this
war to win is to provide the money to pay the war bills —sixly-seven million
dollars a day it costs Uncle Sam. The best way to pay it is to invest in
Liberty Bonds and do it now.
We will have to pay these bills in some way. If we do not lend the
money and let it earn interest for us, we must pay it in the form of in
creased taxes, where we will get back neither money nor interest. What’s
the answer? ...
We don’t have to put up $lOO or or $5OO in car h for our boiMs.
The banks have arranged a six months payment schedule, and the first
payment of ten per cent falls due October 24.
Maybe you have a boy "over there.’’ Will you let him fight and risk his
life while you refuse to deny yourself some luxury to back him up with food
and clothing and guns and ammunition? We don’t believe there’s a man
like that in this country! Let's go “over the top’’ this week.

writer ever remembers, also
everything else is doing likewise
excepting arm & hammer soda,
it’s just the same old nickel a

the close of the war.
We understand that Bulgaria
has backslided and Austria is on
the verge of stepping out, *that
would leave Germany in a tight
place where she ought to be, un
doubtedly Germany will yet beg
mercifully for a lasting peace
without victory for the great
central powers.

If a man dares to live within

There is something fresh and rare
in such an example.

THOUGHTS.
Ilow still it is ! The busy workaday world has ceased its
labors, the rush and turmoil of daily stiifeis over, and night
stretches its somber shadows over all. No sound but the
drip of the blessed rain brea cs the silence, and it falls in a
soft, slow dripping as though loath to break the slumber.
Sitting alone in the stillness of our room, looking out into
the darkness, listening to the patter of the raindrops, thoughts
too many and many of them too painful, come thronging up
in our brain—thoughts that keep “Death’s twin sister,
Sleep’’ far away. There are many things, as we think of
them, that should not have been neglected, many unkind
words spoken that can never be recalled whose wounds nor
after words or deeds can entirely heal,
Ihe flesh may heal over wounds, but the scar ever re
mains ; this is true of a flesh wound, and more so where the
feelings, the heart, has been hurt. Strange too. that it i*
not the alien, the sometime guest, or the acquaintance, upon
whom we inflict these wounds, but those who are nearest
and dearest—those upon whom existence of our lives, as it
were, depends—those who love us and are entitled to all the
love and endearing words, all the little acts of kindness that
go toward making a happy life.
lhink when we frown upon one of the household band,
who would give their life, if need be, for our pleasure, and
turn with a sw T eet smile and pleasant 'word for the stranger,
the friend of an hour, who would care not into what depths
of misery we might be plunged !
Cheerfulness! llow sweet in infancy, how lovely in
youth, how saintly in old age ! There are a few noble na
tures whose very presence carries sunshine with them wher
ever they go ; a sunshine means pity lor Jhe poor, sympathy
for the suftering, help for the unfortunate, and benignity to
ward all. llow' such a face enlivens cxiiry other face it
meets, and carries intq, every corifpany*TWfbl'tyfcnd joy and
gladness! But the scowl and frown, begotten in a selfish
heart, and manifesting itself daily, almost hourly fretfulness,
complaining, fault finding, angry criticisms, spiteful com
ments, on the motives and actions of others, how they thin
the cheek, shrivel the face, sour and sadden the counten
ance ! No joy in the heart, nobility in the soul, no generos
ity in the nature; the whole character as cold as an Alpine
rock, as arid as the waste of Sahara ! Reader, which of
these countenances are you cultivating?
- ..... ■— ~ ■■■ ■ , 1 aj'uxrr; . ... ~'■==*
A pleasant woman in the home is like a gleam of Heaven’s
brightest sunshine. Iler presence sooths, comforts and
cheers the heart of man. Don’t forget this girls, when you
get married. The only way to be pleasant is to make a
study of art; convert it into science and study it as such. A
woman who makes the man she loves believe she knows not
the meaning of worry, and who always has for him a pleas
ant smile and a word of welcome, will find that tender thots
of her are creeping further into his heart than those of the
beauty whom she envies, Girls, you don’t know what an
effect continued pleasantness has upon a man. We would
suggest to you to make a study of the art of being pleasant.
Have you noticed how large a number of persons with
whom you stop to have a little chat, speak of the dark blotches
of human nature in the lives of someone? We will not ex
cept the person of the higest moral standing in the commun
ity. Nine out of every ten persons in a ten minutes talk
will bring up the detects in someone's life, and one out of a
hundred may possibly startle you by speaking only of the
good that may be found in most every individual. There is
no life without its defects, neither without its excellencies,
and what a different coloring it would give to humanity if
the rule were reversed to what it is. And, reader, it rests
with you and us to start the reform, and with such a good
start as we may be able to give it, we are sure it will be con
tagious if we persevere. For when neighbors speak naught
of ill and only laud the good that is in 11s will not be far from
that glorious period denominated the millenium.
A good example is the best teacher. Precepts are use
less if contradicted by our daily living. If we are slaves to
our evil passions, how can we teach our children self-con
trol. If we sometimes speak or act an untruth, we cannot
expect them to .m truthfcl. Do not scold; do not use harsh
words ; for they will surely be reflected in your children.
Be neighborly, be obliging, be kind and courteous, and
then when sorrow and sickness come you will have sympathy
and help.
