on.
—For the first, time within two

* er about twenty-five shots we
brought back four robins and two
squirrels. (The latter cost 10 cents
each.)

ble desks.
—The Courier has turned
some neat work for out of town cus¬

printer, enables us to turn out only

—It is suid that the telephone line
from Edison to Arlington will soon

paying investment for the promo¬
ters. •
—Fat v.’omon have to bo honest,
but, every thin woman is really
thinner than she looks.—Blakely

—Mr. J. E. Toole has accepted the
agency for the Southern Express

moved the office from the depot to

will prove more convenient for the
business part of Arlington, and lias
relieved the railroad agent a deal of
trouble.
—A country editor wrote a nice lit¬
tle puff for a leading milliner, in
which he said he wus glad to see her
“stocking up.” Meeting the scribe
on the street she soaked him with a
parasol and threatened to tell his
wife. The unsophisticated editor
has never been able to find out what
was wrong with his item.—Ex¬
change.
—He who marries for love gets a
wife ; who marries for position gets
a lady ; who marries for money gets
a mistress? If you are sick, your
wife will nurse you, your lady will

quire about your health. If you die,
your wife will weep for you, your
lady will lament and your mistress
will wear mourning, says an ex¬
change.
—The moon is past its “full”.stage
and now Arlington is in complete
darkness every night. We under¬
stand that it will be fully another
two weeks before the electric light
engine will be ready for use. It
was necessary to get another engine
as the one they had could not be
made to work. It is hoped that we
will have lights of some kind at an
early day, or night-, rather.
—Have you thought about closing
up your business on Thanksgiving
day, as suggested in The Courier
last w^?ek? Suppose we all close up
on that day, and render thanks to
the Almighty for the blessings he has
sent upon us in the past. This day is
our press day, but we will head the
list to close up. What say you gen¬
tlemen? If we close The Courier
will come out Wednesday afternoon
or Friday morning.
—Every body praises Arlington for
her splendid business qualifications.
You can hear outsiders praising us
everywhere you go. This is a result
of our hustling business men,
straight, fair and honest dealing on
their part. People have come to
Arlington to sell their cotton, this
year and to do their trading, who
have never, been here before. This
speaks well for our town and we are
glad to be able to say it.
—Had you thought about the
great convenience the bank has been
to you this year? You don’t have
to run over town begging every fel¬
low you meet to change a dollar.
And another important f ea ture
this bank is that you can
money there for safe keeping
feel perfectly easy about it.
can say honestly that we believe
Bank of Arlington to bo the safest,
bank in the south. It has good,
strong men at the head of it.
—Rev. Mr. Kerr filled his regular
appointment here last Sunday morn¬
ing and evening at the Methodist
church. Unless Mr. Kerr is given
this charge for another year by
South Georgia conference, which
meets at Cuthbert on December
6, lie will only be with us one more
Sunday which will be the last. Sun¬
day in this month. Mr. Kerr has
greatly endeared himself to the peo¬
ple of Arlington and thoy will deep¬
ly regret, to givo him up should ho
be sent elsewhere.
—The following is a voluntary en¬
dorsement written The Courier by
the clerk of the Southwestern Bap¬
tist Association, for whom we
printed several hundred 20-page
minutes not long ago. We appre¬
ciate the endorsement, coming as it
did, and we are publishing it with¬
out the clerk’s knowledge: “I am
well satisfied with your work. You
got ino out a book as clean of mis¬
takes as any I ever saw, and I lmve
seen clerks from other churches in
the association who express groat
satisfaction.”
—Agent W. C. Baker was checked
out by Auditor Fite last Friday, and
Mr. J. C. Tatum was checked in to
fill Mr. Baker’s place until ho re¬
turns. Mr. Baker’s health has been
considerably impaired for several
weeks and the little rest
granted him by the railroad author¬
ities will no doubt prove of great
benefit to him. We wish him a
most enjoyable “off,” and trust that
he will be much inproved when ho
returns to Arlington. Mr. Baker
left. Sunday, accompanied by his
wife, for Enfaula, Ala.
—Probably the next iusse of The
Courier will bo printed from our
large new cylinder press, which we
expect to place in our office by next
Tuesday. It is of the best, make and
will carry a form equal to one en¬
tire side Jof The Courier. This is
the finest press south of Macon and
wo invite our patrons around to
see it run. It can he adjusted to
print anything from an envelope to
a six column quarto newspaper.
You need not be surprised if The
Courier comes to you with an in¬
creased number of pages within an¬
other week or two.
—Electric typewriters are expect¬
ed to make their appearance on the
market this autumn. A number of
them have bean 'patented and there
will be some rivalry. They will cost
about. $200. The electric typewriter
is a power machine, all the work of
the moving parts being done by an
electric motor, while the operator
simply indicates the characters. It
looks like an ordinary typewriter
and the keyboard is the same. The
printing is accomplished by mere
contact of the firiger. No pressure
being required, there is no fatigue.
Another advantage is that is practi¬
cally unlimited. The work is done
as fast as the keys are touched.

A Villedge Blacksmith Saved His Little
Son’s Life.
Mr. H. H. Black, the well known
villedge blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y., says: “Our lit¬
tle son, fiVe years old, has always
been subject to croup, and so had
have the attacks been that we have
feared many times that he would
die. We have hail the Doctor and
used many medicines, put Chnm-
berlain’s Cough Remedy is now our
sole reliance. It seem to dissolve
the tough mucus and by giving fre¬
quent doses when the croupy symp¬
toms appear wo have found that the
dreaded croup is cured before it gets
settled. ” There is no danger in giv¬
ing this remedy for it contains no
opium or other in jurous drug and
may be given as confidently to a
babe as to an adult. For sale by
