Small Pox In Thomnon-
Mr. Camp Watson, an employee of
the Georgia Railroa.l is sick at the
home of bis mother Mrs. M. jWat
son, amt the physician in charge lias
pronounced it a ense of smallpox. Mr.
Watson’s condition is satisfactory ami
it is not anticipated that any serious
results will follow, as lie is a young
man of robust constitation* Neither is
it expected that the d sense will spread
beyond the house where Mr. Watson
is confined.
The city authorities lui\ e established,
and will maintain a quarantine, which
with vaccination will soon suppress
the disease. There Is no cause for ex
citement or undue fear on the part of
the people of Thomson.
There was a time when small pox
was feared as the black plague, but in
recent years it lias been so tamed Hint
it shows a minimum per centage o*
deaths.
Traction Engine In Town-
Mr. 3 G. Sto-y has purchased a
traction engine, and it was unloaded
from the cars Tuesday in Thomson, tt
performed various stunts, among them
it took another engine belonging to
Mr. Johnnie Bradshaw and pulled it
out to Uobbliani with nil ease. Mr.
Story will use the engine mostly in the
lower section of Warren county.
The world moves and we must move
with it, but if they get up any more
tilings to run along (lie public high
ways, it will be in order to get up a
school for buggy horses to learn them
tlie new things, so that they can dis
tinguish between them and his Satanic
majesty.
Notice-
Those contributing to the ice
cream festival on Memorial Day will
please send all CMitriJnitions to the
Court House Monday morning not
later Ilian nine o'clock.

Tim Oconee River Mills make

All wo ask of y )u is to give this

losing money oil this meal We hud
a contract with a mill which was
allowing ua n better profit a bush-
but they shipped us a lot of

Wo decided this wus’nt the kind
of meal we wanted iv.tr customers
to get from us, so we have cancell
ed our contract with them.
We believe in handling good*
that will give satisfaction. We
could sell our customers inferior
goods which would allow us a
better profit for a time, but would
finally injure our business. We
are trying to sell goods that will
bring our customers back again

Letter to W- F. Gheesling
Thomson, Ga.
Deur Sir : One of the ways to getricli
is to make a quarter look like thirty
cents.
There’s a better : make it thirty cents,
it lias this advantage : one keeps out
of jail.
Thers are 200 paint-manufacturers
making quarters look like 00 40 50 60
cents and all the odd cents between.
That is, their “paints” profess to lie
paints ; and they are, in about the pro
portions named : they get30 to (}0 cents
for a quarter’s worth ; some get 75.
There’s a better Way to paint; Devoe.
There are eight honest paints. By
“honest”, we mean not-adulterated and
full-measure. These honest ones differ;
no two are alike. In one, the quarter
is worth 27 or 28 eents ; in another, 30
cents ; there must be a best one in eight;
it is the one that take« least gallons to
cover a job—Devoe.
To cover; that seeme a light way to
speak of a paint. No, it isn’t. That is
what paint is for: to cover. It meai s
to bide and protect. The paint that
goes furthest is best, wears longest.
Go-far is ali; and Devoe is the go-far
paint.
Yours truly

May Buy County Farm.
f tlie Pris m Commission insists on
gov
ernment of County convicts it may be
necessary for Ordinary Gheesling to
buy and operate n County farm. Tlie
rule in question requires each County
to maintain a “p moment” headquar
ters for the convicts, and if this rule is
insisted upon these headquarters will
he located upon a farm, where all mule
feed, and a large part of the feed for
tlie convicts will be raised. The larger
counties now maintain these farms and
greatly reduce tiie expenses of their
chain gangs, hut it is doubtful if it
would prove a success in smaller
counties.

Song For Decoration Day.
By Thomas E. Watson.
While the blooming Spring is wafting
Odors on each bony nut gale—
While the notes of merry songsters
Chime with brooklets in the vale,
Come we now and scatter gently,
With a loving, trembling hand,
Garlands o'er our buried treasures—
Hci >i\s of our sunny land.
CnoiM'i's.—Theii scatter flowers gently,
Where our slumb’riug-heioes lie.
Here they sleep and spring may murmur
Joyous music on the plain;
Birds may warble sweetest carols,
But their anthems are in vain.
Yet because we loved them fondly
in the palmy days of yore,
Mcm'ries float upon us softly
As the waveletcts on the shore.
('Hours. —Then scatter flowers gently, (fee.
There, is beauty in tlie snowflakes—
Beauty in the waters bright;
'There is beauty in the evening —
In the holy stars of night;
But no scene has earth more lovely—
More exalting, nobly fair,
Than when I lope strews floral tributes,
’Round the grave of still Despair.
C nouns—Then scatter flowers gently, Ac.
Bo to-day above the warriors,
Banner bearers in the fray,
(While the cause for which they struggled
Lies as low and dead as they;)
Drop vie roses, while our purpose
Frames a watchword fresh as flowers,
“Wrecked our Past, is—filled with ashes,
But the star-crowned future’s ours.”
Cnolu s.—Then scatter flowers gently, Ac.
Am;—Gather Beeds of Kindness.
