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.

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 68 F.W. DEVOE AGO P. S. THOMSON HARDWARE CO. sells our paint- BOATWRIGHT, Stores To Close at 5:30 P- M.

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.

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. Dr. Gordon Lockett, of \\ arrenton, spent Saturday and Sunday in Thom son. M iss Bailie Story returned Monday, after a visit lo relatives in Alliens. Mr. II. T.
