Dr. Rattray Will Be in Alamo
Thursday of Each Week
At the request of several of
the citizens, of Wheeler County,
I have decided to devote one day
of each week (Thursday) at
Alamo, Georgia. My headquarts
ers while there will be at the J,
F. Darby Bank Building, and
any person wanting tocommunis
cate with me can do so through
Mr. Howard Murchison,
I feel that at this time of year
I can render the livestock owners
valuable service, as this is the
season of the year when vaccina~
tions are in order, and when
livestock generally are in deple~
ted health condition.
Any one in need of veterinary
service will receive my attention.

. Selecting Garden Flowers
SOME of the- easlest flowers to
grow, those advised for the
| flower gardener without much ex
| perience, are the masturtium, alys
| sum and California poppy.
; If you are interested in getting
-1 brilliant eolor in your garden with
| a minimum of effort, try growing
‘| petunia and zinnia They require
| quite a bit of care early in the sea
son, hut once established they grow
luxuriantly, and nothing provides
more color. Poriulaca is excellent
for a colorful edging, and cosmos l
good for backgrounds,
‘For rock garden growth try some
| of the following: African daisy,
alyssum, linaria, lobelia, phlox, sta
tice, verbena and Virginia stock,
| among the annuals, and hardly alys
sum, columbine, English. daisy,
| forget-me-not and Iceland poppy, of
| the perennials. '
For a window box, petunia, nas
| turtium, lobelia, ageratum, pausy,
| annual phlox and verbcna are
effective,
: Quick blooming flowers are the
| masturtium, Virginia stock, zinnia,
sunflower, bachelor’s button and
| alyssum.
v, Even though you may have ex
perienced trouble with wilt or rust,
| you still may grow aster and snap
dragon. There are rustresistant
| strains of snapdragon and wilt
| resistant strains of aster.
Seeds of certain flowers will ger
| minate more readily if the seed coat
| is cut or nicked. Care must be taken
.1 to cut only the coat, for injury of
'| the interior portion of the seed
may destroy it. Canna lily, all types
of morning glory, perennial and an
nual sweet peas, lupin and moon
flower are some of the seeds that
may be thus treated. Overnight
soaking in warm water will also aid
" the germination of these seeda,

| “DILAPIDATED" derives from
. “lapis,” the Latin word for
| stone. One explanation of its deri
.| vation iz that in Roman and pre-
Roman times stoning to death was
| a frequent form of punishment. To
| us it seems a barbarous practice,
but undoubtedly when an unfortu
| nate victim was stoned to death. he
was completely “dilapidated.”
; * * &
The use of the expression “old
adage” is what srammarians des
| eribe as tautology. “Adage” by it
| self méans an old and long accepted
| saying. The “old” is, therefore, un
necessary and hence tautological.
| “Turbulent mob” ig another example
| of the same thing, for the word
“mob”, itself means a turbulent
crowd or assembly.
