LITRE ITEMS Os GEORGSA CITIES
Cordele.—Preparations are being
made by the Cordele chamber of com
merce to hold the "farmers’ rally” at
an early date. President C. J. Haden •
of the Georgia chamber of commerce,
will address the meeting on topics of
general interest among the farmers.
It is proposed that at this time
a movement will be inaugurated to
re-organize the Crisp County Fair as
sociation.
Savannah.—As trustees of the Tel
fair Academy of Arts and Sciences,
the board of curators of the Georgia
Historical society has sold to Herbert
L. Pratt of New York, for $2,800 p
recently discovered autograph signa
ture of Button Gwinnett, an early
governor of Georgia, congressman,
and one of the three signers of the.
Declaration of Independence from
this state.
Dublin.—A $50,000 mausoleum is to
"be erected in this city at an early
date and will be a very handsome af
fair, containing 300 crypts for the
stoiage of bodies. While the citizens
of the city rarely die except from
old age, they are not averse to hav
ing as modern and ornate a tomb as
possible, and the mausoleum proposi
tion will probably prove popular with
them.
Brunswick. —The United States
submarine flotilla, including five of
these dangerous little fighters, and
the monitor Tonopah, which is acting
as a convoy, is moored at wharves
along Bi unswick's river front, and
since their arrival they have been
visited by hundreds of people, who
are welcomed on the fighters each af
ternoon after 2 o'clock. The fleet
left Charleston, and, despite a rough
sea, made an usually quick trip to
this port.
Macon. —Because of their curiosity
to see if a can of powder would burn,
the five little children of Mr. and
Mrs. W. W. Walthall, 2023 Third
street, were seriously, though not
necessarily fatally injured by the ex
plosion which followed the touching -
of a match to the powder by Ever
ett Walthall, aged 14. The can con
tained a pound of powder, and had
been secured from a shelf in the
kitchen by Everett, the oldest boy.
Little Nellie expressed a desire to
see if the powder would burn, and to
oblige her Everett struck a match to
it. At the time the children were all
down on their hands and knees
watching developments.
Milledgeville.—lt seems that the
hookworm is destined to banishment
from Baldwin county. Drs. Wood
and Whittle,- of the state board of
health, working in co-operation with
the county authorities, are striving
here to rid the people of this trouble
some disease. Hundreds of school
children and many grown-up people
have already been examined. The
dispensaries for distributing the
medicine and making examinations
are held throughout the county on
certain days of the week at Union
Point, Meriwether, Cooperville, Tril
by and Milledgeville.
Athens. —The first suit ever
brought by the United States in this
division court in the form of con
demnation proceedings to take
lands under the federal conservation
laws, was filed before Deputy Clerk
W. G. Cornett here. The United
States of America against L. B. Dock
ins of Rabun county, Georgia, is the
title. The tract involved is about
200 acres in Rabun county, a part of
the proposed Appalachian reserva
tion.
Griffin.—The chief work of the
Griffin-Spalding county board of trade
at this special season is advertising
the city. In this special department
considerable activity is observed. A
great deal of printed matter is being
distributed and advertising novelties
as souvenirs are being sent out over
the country. Two special features of
Advertising now in progress are the
exports made to secure the next meet
ing of the Confederate soldiers and
of tke members of the State Horticul
tural society. A committee has been
appointed to go to Macon and confer
with General Preston relative to hold
ing the next Confederate reunion in
this city.
Decatur. —George W. Pierce, who
recently died suddenly while eating
dinner at the home of his son, Jesse
F. Pierce, near Stone Mountain, was
the oldest citizen in the county, and
perhaps in the state. He was born
in Putnam county. Ga., on February
6, 1805, and at his birthday this year
would have been 109 years old. Mr.
Pierce’s father moved to DeKalb
county when George was quite young
and settled among the Indians. But
by and by the Indians were gathered
together and taken west to the In
dian territory’, and George’s father
helped to move them. On his return
he drew a lot of land, or rather a
section of 640 acres, not far from
Crooked creek. He had no longer the
red man for his neighbor, but he was
visited quite often by wolves, losing
quite a number of pigs and sheep by
these animals. There were no schools
nearby at that time and young Pierce
grew up to manhood' without any
schooling.

Caught In a Sinecure.
“I caught the prisoner in a sine
cure,” said the constable, with evident |
satisfaction.
"In what?” asked the bewildered
magistrate.
“A sinecure, your worship,” blandly
came the reply.
“Surely you mean a cul de sac?” re
marked the magistrate.
The witness nodded acquiescence,
but obviously he was still unconvinced,
and as he stepped from the box he
was heard to whisper to a brother of
ficer: "Poor old chap's gettln' worse.”

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don’t Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray,
Faded, Lifeless Hair.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy ecalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it’s so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. —Adv.

Where Twins Are a Disgrace.
A special study of the women of the
Ibibios and other southern Nigerian
tribes has been made by Mr-, P.
Amaury Talbot, who, with her hus
band and sister, has just completed
a 4,300-mile journey in West Africa.
Through many of the invocations of
the people are addressed to the pow
ers of fertility and a large family is
a native ideal, the birth of twins is
considered a disgrace. One of the
twins is regarded as a devil’s child.
Outside the sphere of British influ
ence twins are generally killed at
birth. The husband forsakes the wife
and she must spend at least a year in
"Twin Town,” isolated with other
women in like case, and take part in
purifying rites. If he please the hus
band may then rejoin her.
Undivided Attention Demanded.
Not giving your whole undivided at
tention to the task in which you have
invested your life and money, means
that you are wasting your own preci
ous time and that of others. What
ever you do, do it with your whole
heart and mind or get out and try
something else. It takes pretty nearly
all of a man’s time to perfect an un
dertaking provided it be a big and
worthy one to begin with.
GREAT CHANGE
IN TWENTY YEARS
Shaw Lady Looks Younger Instead
of Older with Lapse
of Time.
Shaw, Miss. —Mrs. V. N. Smith, of
this city, makes an Interesting state
ment of her experiences, as follows:
“Twenty-nine years ago, I contracted
a serious form of womanly trouble.
We called In our family physician,
and he treated me for it, but It
I seemed to do no good. It went on
into other bad troubles, and I com
menced taking all kinds of medicines
to see if I could get relief, but to no
avail.
I suffered with that trouble up until
eleven years ago, when I read about
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and bought
a full treatment. It relived me at
once, and after taking the full treat
ment, I am now well and stout.
I sent my brother, whom I had not
seen in twenty years, one of my pho
tographs, and he wrote me that I
looked younger than when he last
saw me.”
For more than 50 years, Cardui has
been relieving women’s sufferings, and
building weak women up to health
and strength. No other tonic gives
the same results as Cardui. No other
woman's medicine has the long record
of success in treating cases of woman
ly weakness and disease.
Cardui will surely help you.
Try it.

Miss Belle de Costa Green, the $lO,-

her campaign in behalf of her under

"Women are to blame in away,”
she said, "for the underpayment that
prevails among them. They must
change their attitude.
“Women in the past pretended to
be helpless and clinging in order to
flatter man.
“Women thought that by allowing

look up to her.”

There’s a difference between early and late
varieties that should be considered in fertilizing.
For the early kind use 1,000 pounds per acre

POTASH
5% ammonia and 8% phosphoric acid. Under average conditions, 800 pounds
of 3-6-8 is the most profitable for late crops.
Some growers double these amounts, for they
