Aii honest conviction is good forthe —law breaker. Yes, Jane, dear, social trocas are often crossed in love. Twenty-four sheets of light ning makes an illuminated quite. A shipment of stawbefries has I bee* received in Boston from. California. Uncle Allen is eternally and everlastingly fernent deficits and kiting. Be industrious and Col. Bil ly Satan will not be half so apt to enlist you. Thanksgiving draweth nigh. Thagobler will soon b« gobbled. Let the eagle scream. Yes, Jane, dear, when you check an elephant’s trunk you put Fourpaws ©n his travels. * - 1 ■■ r 1 The fellow who is always broke never dreads the breakers —unless he is a sanguine man. Buy everything you need, right here in Home ;you can af ford to, and you can’t afford not to Be charitable in all things and after many days the bieid wagon will Hoat back to your wharf. Let the school children of Georgia have a vacation until the deficit in the state treasury hat been cured. The concert of the “powers” does not seem so palatial to the bull-fighters as it is respectful to the American eagle. The Maria Teresa seems de termined to sleep in old Ocean’s bed. She was a Spaniard, hence a very funny man-of-war. Some governors would send a deficit “kiting,” but it takes your Uncle Allen to send the same animal along the “Wards ducks” route.” avv nat K- mother ■ does not '* wish to be 9 pro u d of 3 her chi 1- I dren? What J. mother does not » want them fl to be H healthy, in happy, r laughter- J loving and able to withstand the ordinary illnesses of childhood ? Any woman may insure the health of her children who will take proper care of her health in a womanly way. The health of her children depends almost entirely upon her general health, and particularly upon the health and strength of the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. A woman has no right to dis regard her own health, comfort, case and happiness, she certainly has less right to condemn her children to a life of suffering or an early death. That is what she does if she neglects the health of her special womanly organism. Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all disorders of this description. It strength ens and invigorates the sensitive organs concerned, and is the best preparation fur the trials and dangers of maternity. It in sures the well being of the mother and the health of the child. Its use is a guarantee of a bountiful supply of nourishment for the little new-comer. Many women who once bore children only to speedily lose them, are now mothers of healthy, robust children as the result of the use of this medicine. Barbra A. Mudd.of Indian Creek. Mo . writes: “I am very thankful for what Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription did for me. I wa- all broken down from nervous prostration, but since taking your medicine I have had more relief than from all the doctors Your ‘ Favorite Prescrip tion ’ did me a world of good." Many women have told their experiences, and given their names, addr sses and pho tographs in Dr. Pierce's Common Sens.: Medical Adviser. This book is free. A copy will be sent to any address upon re ceipt of 21 one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V. The “Favorite Prescrip tion ’’ is for sale by all dealers and no hon «st man will urge a substitute. Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum. Alum baking powders are the greatest mcnacers to health of the present day. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. ‘ North Carolina, which pays a pension to Configurate army veterans that are in need, finds that but one in fifteen of the I known survivors in the state is on the pension list. Applicants t for aid an» fewer each year in stead 01 increasing constantly, as is the case with federal pen sion ts. In Georgia the Federal epich mic seems to have gained a footing. The Georgia tax pay ers contribute to Georgia Con federate veterans about as much as all the other Southern states ' pay to their veterans. The Geor gia rolls should be payed and every veteran and widow of a Confederate soldier who does not absolutely need the pensian should be cut off of the rolls. If all the property in Georgia that is hidden out from tax ition could be reached and made to pay its honest dues, the problem of state income and expendi tures w’ould be solved. To ac complish this result should be the earnest and persistent effort of the legislature, and it should be accomplished at the present session.—Atlanta Journal. A French doctor has invented an electric helm t, inside of which is a small motor that vi brates strips of steel, the motor making 600 nuns per minute. This whizzing is supposed to cure nervous headache and put the sufferer to sleep. But the aver-- a< f e man with wheelsin bis head, does not need such a motor. Count Esterhazy is now re ported as being in the black mailing business. It is charged that lie has written to several French Generals, demanding money, under threats of expo sure. Tins same alleged noble man is lavashly decorated with several crosses of the legion of honcr. It is reported that Spain bought a cargo of 135,000 bush els of wheat in New York the other day—her first commercial transaction with Uncle Sain for some time. The only doubt about the alleged transaction is the fact that it takes cash to buy wheat. Let the people who talk about economy, practre wh it they preach—and let the gentlemen who straddles the comb of the highest house top and yells him self hoarse telling the people to patronize homo industry—prac tice what he preache°. France’s “dignified withdraw al” from Fashoda is very sug gestive of the attitude of the dignified middle-aged person who taied to pick up the coin that was na led to the sidewalk, while every body was looking.— Savannah News The Rome postoffice has ar ranged a screen inside the gen eral delivery window.

Tom Platt should sub scribe—and send the copy to one Dick C'oker of New York, U. S. A. The most efficient and skilled employees are being unjustly turned out of the Rome post office and their places filled, in nearly every instance, by negro polticians—Where is your “civil service?” In Kentucky a druggist has been sued for SIO,OOO damages for selling poison to a young man who made use of it to com mit suicide. The suit is brought by the administrator of the sui cide’s estate. The registered distilleries of North Carolina, 1,407 in num ber, last year produced 620,716 gallons of spirits.

A number of Michigan farm ers in the Grand Traverse region have been experimenting this season in growing peanuts, and in every case the experiments have proved successful. A state that could produce such a poli tician as Alger, should-find no trbuble in breeding peanuts. OUR GOVESNOR. Gov. Candler is going to make Georgia a good governor. Even those who were his worst oppenents are forced to admit that.—Hogansville Bee. The message of Gov. Candler to the present general assembly of Georgia placed great stress upon two of the most important issues before the state, in our judgment, the ballot box and taxation. —Telfair Enterprise. It is our candid opinion that Candler will make the best gov ernor that Georgia basever had Why we say that is from the fact that he is a sensible man. He can’t quite spe through a mill stone, without a hole in it, but he comes nearer doing so than any man we know of, if he hasn’t but one eye. It is now Gov.

THE EXCELLENCE «F STOP OF MS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific process#? known to the California Fig SyruF Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
