Retrospective.
When pretty Mamie’s soft red cheek
Was turned away in childish pct,
Disconsolate I’d go and seek
The solace of a cigarette.
When Sylvia, Gwendolen anil Kate,
Whose coquetries have left their
scar,
Successively refused to male,
I’d substitute a strong cigar.
Xow maiden ladies look askance.
Both they and I are overripe;
Eliminating all romance,
I knock the ashes from my pipe.
Exchange.
Sharps and Flats.
Somebody lias offered this terse
bit of advice: “Eat less —chew
more.” From the point of view of
the country editor the thing “can’t
be did,” and keep soul and body
on speaking terms.

A club has been formed in Illi
nois, made up of men who pledge
themselves to marry widows only.
There is no age limit or other re
quirement; just any old widow
will do. It’s a mighty poor rule
that won’t work both ways.

Love laughs at locksmiths be

In a sermon the other Sunday
Rev. Mr. Hunt scored the tattlers,
and it reminded the News man <.f
a funny little episode thatoccurn d
not ten miles from Summerville
several years age. A certain edi
tor had, very unwisely, aroused the
wrath of certain of the ladies who
lived in the srme town, by incau
tious criticisms and comments in
tiis pspir. These good ladies were
Christians, all of them, and met
each week for prayer, and at the
next meeting after the editor had
given seeming cause for offense he !
naturally came up for discussion.
So animated, and even warm, did
the discussion grow that these good
people forgot w het they had met
for until the hour for prayer had
passed. But the unfortunate news
paper man “got a blessing,’’ just
the same! Lots of funny things
happen that don’t in the books.

Some people who undertake to
sing in church have about as much
idea of time, sound and melody as
the bronze figure on top of the
Georgia monument at Chickamau
ga. These good people don’t mean
any harm ; but they snort and roar
and bungle through a song that is
divine in its swee(n.<ss ami beauty
much as a mad Texas steer would
charge through a garden of Mar
chal Neil roses. It is simply and
absolutely distressing to sit near
such an one in church. Macbeth
murdered sleep, but these blunder
ers murder melody, and do it in an
unconscious and matter of fact
way that is simply exasperating.
But there is no remedy. Some peo
ple are born blind; others deaf—
music deaf, and they don’t know
it, and can’t help it, more’s the
pity.
It is said that Grover Cleveland
is worth only $200,000. That’s not
bad. There’s plenty of editors who
would deed away their best black
berry patch for that.

There ought to be located at ev
ery county site in every county in
the state of Georgia a pair of well
trained blood hounds. This mat
ter lies been urged in the columns
of the News before, but in the light
of recent criminal assaults on wo
men, and other leaser but still
grave crimes, the need for this sort
of assistance to the officers of the
law is doubly emphasized. If a pair
of well trained dogs were kept ever
: ready, and the fact became well
I known among the criminal classes,
lit would act as a powerful deter
; rent to crime. The practical util
ity of this method of capturing
■ these roving renegades and crimi
nals has been too well established
by the records made by the dogs
'of Policeman Phipps, of Chattan
ooga to admit of any doubt. There
i ought to be a pair of these dogs at
, the jail in Summerville, and we
believe the good results in prevent
ing crime, and in capturing those
who might commit it, would repay
' their cost many times over. The
News would be glad to see th s
matter taken up and discussed by
, the county officials and favorable
action taken thereon.

have been remarkably young for Sain

Beware of the girl with taper lin
gers. She’ll make it hot for you if
she’s (s)lighted.
Once these was a love affair and
many interesting letters. It began:
“Dear Mr. Jones, My dear George,
My darling George,” and ended: “My
darling George, dear George, dtar sir,;
sir.” (Then she sued him for dam
ages.)
The wedded partnerships between
our heiresses and the foreign counts
arc characterized by a great deal of
love—love of money on one side and
love of titles on the other.
Many more men would propose if
they were not afraid the popping
would awake the girl’s father.

The statement made in our last issue
that a (lying switch had been made by
the freight train the morning Capt.
Snow was killed is one on which there
should be a suspension of judgment
until the facts are fulp- known. Rail
road men say that with the automatic
coupler, a train is liable at any time to
break in two.
A strongly signed petition Las gone
forward asking the department to ap
point Mrs. Laura Snow postmistress
for her husband’s unexpired term. As
our community without respect to

act for the government to show th.s
consideration for a grand army man

“BOTTLED BILL.”
A Romance That Is of Passing
Interest.
In a certain cemetery .11 Georgia
there is a unique monument consisting
of one hundred and twenty-live medi
cine botiles n ith which the widow of
the (kcea»ed had decorated her hus
band’s grave. The bottles, full of
medicine, had been furnished her hus
band during his sickness by tlnce phy
sicians who in turn had at ended him.
Under the name on the headstone the
following inscription appears:
Bill B k lies sweetly here at res'.
These vials placed above his breast
Their contents were beneath his vest.
Poor Bill—how can he lie at. rest?
Three doctors’ stuff he swallowed, till
It took the earth to swallow Bill.
His bill he paid not by the way—
Death took poor Bill, the bill to pay;
His widow shows she’s “up to snuff”
By placing here th.s doctor’s stuff.
Three doctors fixed poor Bill—these
show
His widow fixed the doctors, so
Whene'er they now drink bottled beer
They call to mind the bottled bier
Os Bill, who lies unbottled here,
His spirit from these vials fled,
They still pursue and haunt the dead.
Miirrlngc n Serious Vocation.
“A woman who is blessed with good
sense does not consider at the start that
marriage is a role to be skillfully and
successfully enacted, or a grand frolic
of which she is to be the admired and
indulged center, or a mere incident in a
life crowded with other activities,’
writes Helen Watterson Moody in The
Ladies Home Journal “She knows
that marriage is a serious and steady
vocation and that the true Wife is one
h’ho enters marriage not thinking how
much she can get but of it. but how
much she can put into it It is this
larger conception of marriage which
.makes women dwell by their own fire
sides in sweet content with what is
commonly called the ‘narrow limits of
home,' knowing well that no true home
is narrow since it must give cover to
‘the whole primal mysteries of life—
food, raiment and work to earn them
withal; love and marriage, birth and
death, right doing and wrongdoing
all these commonplaces of hnmahity
which are most divine because they are
most commonplace. ’
“The way to make home a wide place
to dwell in is to bring a wide personal
ity to dwell in it. Any home is just as
wide as the maker, andean be no wider
When a woman understands this she is
able to keep her head steady and her
heart undisturbed over newspaper
sketches about other women, in which
each one of them is made to do the most
remarkable and unnecessary things. ”
A Chinaman's Memory.
“The intellectual capacity of the Chi
nese may rank with the best in western
countries. Their own literary studies,
in which memory plays the important
part, prove the nation to be capable of
prodigious achievements in that direc
tion It is stated in ‘Macaulay’s Life
that had ‘Paradise Lost’ been destroyed
he could have reproduced it from mem
ory But even such a power of memory
as lie possessed is small compared with
that of many Chinese, who can repeat
by heart all the 13 classics, and it is as
nothing to that of some Chinese, who,
in addition to being able to repeat the
classics, can memorize a large part of
the general literature of their country
“A Chinese acquaintance of mine
was able at the age of 05 to reproduce
verbatim letters received by him in his
youth from some of his literary friends
famous as stylists When pitted against
European students in school or college,
the Chinaman is in no respect inferior
to his Western contemporaries, and,
whether in ruathcinatics and applied
( science or in metaphysics and specula
tive thought, be is capable of holding
his own against all competitors.”—

RAW AS BEEF
FROM ECZEMA!
Pfl Cf'o2! in fho Not much attention is often paid to the
liU iUilulS Lljllth IJ IBs first symptoms of Eczema, but it-is not long
before the little redness begins to itch and
‘jnri Plirninff hf burn. This is but. the beginning, and wilt
'ibllt.'ig (Illi* ulilhtllg ul lead to suffering and torture almost uhSiij
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
ThlO C&OfFill niontACn a roughness and redness of the skin as
I lilu ioGlilii uldbllcbi merely a local irritation ;it is but an indica-
tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible
Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli
cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself,
the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced
through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through
the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes:
“1 had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me k. —MS
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and j
began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up 1 ■■■ ’
all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have /'! ■*
been treated by some of the best physicians and have Ll
taken many blood medicines, nil in vain. With little
faith lefr I b-'gan to take S. S. S., and it apparently
made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the yWpjWMfe
way the remedy got rid of the. poison. Continuing
S. S. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the. skin became
clear ard smooth, and I was cured perfectly.” <
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which iti
onh a tonic. Swift’s Specific—
S o 8, FOR THE BLOOD
—is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they can
not reach. It goes to the bottom —to the cause of the disease —and will cure
the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is
the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any
; other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood
Poison, Cancer, Tetter, liheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc. Insist
upon'S. S. S.; nothing can take its place.
