" Eotered as second clgss matter
March 1, 1006, at the post ofice a
Haslabureh, Go.
_FHURSDAY, JULY 8, 1900
TELEPHONE:
While strolling around last
Sunday afteypoon, accompanied
Wy our little boyd, we ‘went as
far dewn the G. # B AR W
the watertank, Just beyond the
tank is a small pond, and we
gotice\l many martins sailing
over it, and ocyasionglly” phey
would touch the surfice of the
pond. Off g little wiys, perched
on an old dqa,% pihe, we discover
ed many martins, We just sup
posed that the older birds were
fiarmn: their young to fly, prior
to taking their flight. :
}« Now, here is the point we
want to' make. The martins
come South early in the spring
and raise théir young, and along
in July leave in big droves. New,
where do they go to after leav
ing the South? ~ ‘
" Will some learnad brother,
who is well up on the hahits of
birds, give us the desired infor
fation? :
N Fond parent, did you ever buy
your boy # geat and wagon?
Yes, did you gay? Well then,
you know how itis.
" A couple of months aga we
bought two of our boys a goat
;piece. %’hen a wagon, then
harness, then feed. We were
figuring the other day, and are
tonfident that that pair of goats
have cost us at least ten dollars
during the past two months.
They have already broke up the
wagon and harness, by running
away, §o often. Willie was
stamding in front of them last
week, while they were hitched
aip, braging to some boys about
gpw gentle they were. Justto
prove Willie a stery, they made
a bredk, knocking bim down,
running over Lim,and continu
jpg dewn the street at break|
neck speed. Willie was badly
hurs, but he denied it.
We have come to the conclu
sion, that a goat is like the aver
age mule, will be good and ap
t1;:1.1‘(&111:1y kind along time, just
get a chanca to kill you, We
have got no confidence whatever,
in a goat or a mule,
" Sam Faclklar, now es Hazle
hurst, Ga., was back .to his old
stamping ground at Crystal
River last week, but failed to
show himself to his Inverness
friends. All right Sam, but you
shan’t slide down on our cellar
door any more, nor look down
inte our raimwater barrel and
holler “boo!”’—lnverness (Fla.)
Chronicle. |
Major, we couldn’'t wmake it.
We did our best to get over to
Inverness before leaving Florida
but our time was limited and we
had to rush back. Tiis was
strictly & business trip.
However, we expect to drop
down that way again before
many moons, 4nd when we do,
we are certainly going to spend
a few days at the pretiy little
city of Inverness, and "“chew the
Tag’’ with Walter Warnck, Geo.
Carter. yourself-and many more
friends—until you a.l become
tired of ua. Now, see if we
dor’t? Yes,and we expect to
!slide down on your cellar door
some more, too, and lock down
into your ‘rainwater barrel”
again. See if we don’t.

more revenue, and when the

*We always wondered a little how
Amos Dore and his wife got glong—
peally” Aunt Em Macomber said
fmokly. “Some in the neighborhood
gaid they'd never overheard a gingle
loud or cross word on either side, but
Lije Daniels always stuck to it that
Amos was as mis'able at home as a
man coyld be.
Y“He never spoke right out {ill Aipos
died and Mis' Dore went back up
gountry to her folks.. &hen he let
p“t." :
“What?'" queried Aunt Em's yisitor.
“Well, Amos workgd loggiug along
side of Lije every winter, and sum
mers they hgyed together most al
ways, and it scems,” saild Aunt Em
impressively, “that Amos couiplained
of his shoes hurting him about all the
time, Finally Lije asked whi he wore
tight shoes.
““Why don't you get a pair big
enopgh says Lije one day.
“ayell, I'll tell yoy,, Amos says.
“When I wear tlight shoes I forget all
my other troubles”’”—Youth's Com
panion.
Polishing a Diamond.
'Phe polishing of a dinmond s a very
glow process, because of the great
hardness of the material; besides this,
the work must be frequently inter
rupted to allow the disk to cool out
after it has become uverbeateq by
friction. KEach time a new facet is to
be cut the diamond must he removed
from the dop and reset at another
angle, and the diamond cuttep trusts to
his eve alone to guide him in this deli
cate adjustment, althoygh in the case
of very small diamonds a magnifying
glass Is necessary. The skill shown
in placing the stone in the heated
metal, sometimes with the bare band,
is suipprising. The regular brilliant
has fifty-six facets, besides the table
and the collet—thirty-two sbove the
girdle and twenty-four below—but as
eight facets are first formed, both
above and below, each of these being
recut into three or four smaller ones,
there are considerably more than fitty
six separate surfaces to be cut.—Dr,
George F. Kunz in Century.
