Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments; love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to re move; Oh, no! it is an ever fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark Whose worth's unknown, although his nights be taken. Love's not Time’s fool, though rosy Whiskey for Lame Back To one-half pint good whiskey, add one ounce syrup sarsaparilla and one ounce Toris compound, which can be procured of any druggist. Take in teaspoonful doses before each meai and before retiring. This recipe is said to be the best known to medical science. 4% 4% The Planters Loan And Savings Bank , 705 Broad St., Augusta, Ga.

It is splendid fordishes. It dissolves perfectly, completely. Leaves no naphtha or soapy odor, no smeary film on your china. In your boiler and washing machine, it quickly makes a fine, thick suds. Half Grandma and half Export Borax Soap is the good way to do a washing. Within its bending sickle’s compass come; Love alters not with bis brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

Editor of The Herald: On Saturday your reporter asked me for an expression of opinion in regard to annexation. I expressed the opinion that it would be good for the community if there could be a consolidation of municipalities, giving added strength to do things, making it possible for streets, sewers, water ; mains, etc., to be developed liberally and systematically in the new terri j tory, etc. But you left out an Important part. ! of what I said, and I ask you to let me state it, in order that my state ment may be complete; It is to this j effect: J*ne city will have to ex tend 'its <imp.-.ed streets, sewers, water mains, etc., into the annexed 'territory to do that territory much good, and i do not see how the city l can do that properly as long as she | continues ts give away her valuable public franchises. In the face of the possible coming needs of annexation the city council recently practically gave away a valuable public franchise —the Reynolds and Jones street rail road franchise. Unless that sort of municipal policy is checked I don’t think the proper public improvements can be made in the present city it self, not to speak of improvements in any large additional territory.

ERROR IN CHURCH NOTICE The church notice of the Second Adventist church In the Herald Sun day was Inadvertently placed among the notlceß of the colored churches. This was of course an accident and is so understood by the authorities of the church. CAPT. ANDREWS WAS HERE Capt. J. J. Andrews of McCormick, S. C. passed through the city Mon day enroute to Charleston to attend the Grand Lidgn of Knights of Py thlans. A LITERARY EVENING As Jones w«ded his uncertain way homeward he pondered ways of concealing his condition from his wife says Success "I'll go home and read,” he decided. ’’AVhoever heard of drunken man reading a book?” . Later Mrs. Jones heard a noise in the library. "What in the world aro you doing In there?” she asked. “Reading, my dear,” Jones replied, cheerfully. “You old idiot!” she said, scornful ly, as she looked In at the library door, "shut up that 'valise and come to bed.” A Mighty Fine Addition To Rreakfnflt Post Toasties Crisp, golden-brown bits. “The Taste Lingers” Popular pkg. 10c; large Family size 15c. ANDREWS BROS. COMPANY THRO’ A LORGNTTEE She was apologizing for not. having recognized the woman to whom she was being introduced for the second time, saying: “People are so different when bare headed from what they are when their hats are on.” “That is probably the reason why you never speak to me when you see me on the street,” said a man in the group. “I should most certainly always fail to recognize you should you keep your hat on,” was the quick response. The comprehensive knowledge of the post office to which we have re cently had occasion to refer Is some thing In proof of which there is al ways fresh evidence. Yesterday, an Augusta woman, quite prominent so cially, who has a Christian name by no meauß remarkable and one that she shares with several people In her own set, had come directly to her a letter addressed simply to her Christian name without even another initial and with only “Augusta, Ga.,” following It. Another Augustan re ceived in the same mail a letter ad dressed to her Initials prefixed by a “Miss,” and with "Augusta, Ga.,” fol lowing. Friends in Augusta of Mr. Wright Ixu-lmer, who so charmed us In "The Shepherd King” last season and who Is promised as one of the brilliant attractions at the Grand next season, will be Interested In the following paragraph from a letter lie has writ,- ten a friend here; “I have had a most delightful sea son, and shallnow in a few days leave the noise and bustle and everlasting hustle of the city and go to my log cabin In tho Jersey Hills. The call of tho quiet and pure tranquility of that beautiful spot has been so clear and persuasive ever since 1 closed m) season that I have found It a self denial to remain In Chicago even for a week. I can Imagine that the squir rels and tho birds around my place come every morning lo the porch of ray cabin for some sign of the return of the master, whose hospitality they have learned to enjoy. My place is only forty-five minutes from Broad way, on a mountain-side by a lake, and yet ti is as wild as the Adiron dacks. The assumption of the newspaper correspondent is something amusing at. times. For Instance, the man who wrote from Qainesvillo about the burg lars entering the home of Mrs. Long street and about the bravery with which she dealt with them, referred to her as "The aged widow of the famous. Confederate General.” Now, as a matter of fact, Mrs. Long street, who was General bongstreet’s second wife, is a young woman who physically Is quite as capable of deal ing with an enemy as she is capable mentally of dealing with a great many public questions with many of which she has been prominently and valuably identified. Of the many good resulta of the Tuberculosis Exhibit it is to be hoped that one will tie the compulsory screening of all dwelling houses. In Memphis, where the city has twice been nearly ruined by the fearful seourge of yellow fever, the, warfare against mosquitoea is carried on so vigorously that.*the humblest of cot tages has its every opening screened. In Atlanta, where, there is no fixed ordinance in regard to the matter, and where contagious diseases have never been known to flourish, public opinion Is so strongly arrayed against files and other death-carrying insects that no reputable person would think of renting a house without screens any more than they would think of renting one minus glass in the win dows. Window and door screens should tie considered as important in the equip ment of a house as sanitary plumbing, and as soon as the citizens of Au gusta who rent their houses insist upon taking only those that are screened and the men who live in their own houses haw; a sufficient regard for the welfare of their fam ilies as to screen their houses, the sooner will there be brought those idyllic hygienic conditions for which a few, a pitiably few, men and wom en are now working so Intelligently and determinedly. Augustans feel a kind of proprietory Interest in Mr. John L. Mathews' new book on the Mississippi, because he wrote the book while wintering in Au gusta. For several yeai-H this distin guished author whose name we look for eagerly every month In the lead lug magazines has spent bis winters in Augusta, and much material gath ered here has found Us way into his stories and articles. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews have recently returned from an extended European tour In the In terest of a syndicate of important newspapers, and are spending the summer at the home on the Mnssa chusetts coast, planning to return to Augusta in the fall. In the Augusta cemetery is to be found a memorial that is considered one of tho most beautiful In the whole world. It was erected about a year ago by one of our most distln guished families, and since that, time has been universally admired.
