The Pelham Board of Trade is
destined to be a splendid factor
in the onward march of the
growth and prosperity of the city.
Cleanse and beautify the city
is an excellent thought to be
constantly in the mind of every
citizen of Pelham.

The public schools of this .city
offer exceptional educational ad¬
vantages at a price that is nomi¬
nal compared with the privileges
offered.
The farmers all over the state
are selling their cotton as fast as
ginned. There is no better poli¬
cy than to pay debts and main¬
tain credit. The farmer evident¬
ly realizes this.
To the casual observer Georgia
is wetter than she has ’ been in
many years. The man who wants
whiskey gets it and every town in
the state is treated to the specta¬
cle of the open sale of beer. It
is a lighter grade beer, it is true,
but it is nevertheless beer.
There are front yards and back
premises in the city that are a
splendid nucleus for civic im¬
provement. If each home would
only emulate its best neighbor
in this respect there would soon
be a revolution in the looks of
the town.
Certain ladies of the city have
offered to organize a civic im¬
provement club and take active
steps toward building sentiment
for more beautiful premises.
No more wholesome movement
has been contemplated for our
city. Material interests are being
pushed by the business men.
Educational and religious inter¬
ests are being provided for

contemplated. It appeals to the
individual for his personal ef¬
fort and for his appreciation of
what is done'. It'enlists his in¬

progress of the town. A cleaner
add more healthful city will be
the sure forerunner of increased
popularity, larger business, high¬

Tax on Near Beer Fixed

The Legislature has passed a
bill imposing a tax of $200.00 on
dealers in near beer. Word

Thirsty For Knowledge.
“Now, children,” said the history
teacher in her most impressive manner,
“I wish you to remember that the time
to ask questions in my class is when¬
ever anything is said which you wish
explained. Do not wait until the time
comes for recitation and then com¬
plain that you did not hear of did not
understand when I talked.”
“Yes’m,” chorused the scholars cheer¬
fully.
“Very well,” said the teacher, “we
will begin today with James I., who
came after Elizabeth.”
The new scholar raised his hand.
“What is it?” asked the teacher gra¬
ciously.
“What made him come after her?”
asked the new scholar eagerly.
“Are your five daughters all married
off, Mr. Brown?”
“No; five sons-ln-law have married
on.”—Fliegende Blatter.
Gloves of chicken skin were in vogue
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. They were used at night to
give the hand whiteness and delicacy.
Dew.
Dew does not fall in the sense that
rain does. It has been scientifical¬
ly demonstrated that dew is simply
the moisture that is abstracted from
the air by the rapid cooling of the bod¬
ies with which that air comes in con¬
tact, as, for example, the moisture that
is seen of a summer day on the out¬
side of a pitcher containing ice water.
Dew is not formed on windy nights,
because the drifting air then brings its
own temperature to the radiating bod¬
ies and prevents them from getting
cooled as speedily as they would other¬
wise do.

Horse Meat.
“A borsuVs head over a butcher shop
in France signifies a horse meat butch¬
ery, I w ish we had them here,” said
a food faddist. “We will have them
here some day too. Why? Because of
all the animals eaten by man the horse
Is least liable to disease. The horse,
unlike the ox, is never tubercular. He
Is the clbanest of all feeders as well.
And his flesh Is really good—tender,
rather sweetish and fine grained* As
the automobile drives the horse from
the marts of labor he will enter on ac¬
count of his immunity from consump¬
tion the food marts, and we’ll get a
little variety in our monotonous round
of beef, mutton and pork.”—New York
Press.
Bill Nye and the Englishman.
In one of his burlesque sketches on
English history Bill Nye spoke of Ju¬
lius Caesar’s jumping Into the water
as he approached the English coast,
wading ashore, running up to London
and walking through Regent street.
“An acquaintance of mine reported
to me,” said Mr. Nye, “that he had
asked an Englishman how- he liked the
story. ‘Not at all, not at all,’ was the
reply. ‘That fellow Nye doesn’t know
what he’s about. There wasn't any
Regent street then, you know.' ”—Lip
pincott’s Magazine.
The Woman Who Gambles.
Moralists say that the emotion of
gaming makes women ugly. It is not
necessary to take the word of the
moralists for that. Gaming does hot
make women ugly. It unmasks them,
and it is of that that they must be
warned. It is natural enough, since
they play passionately, and in playing
they forget the world and their faces.

as Jezebel. Jean Lorrain has left ter¬
rible pictures of old painted faces the
natural condition of which is revealed
by the excitement of play.—Paris Vie

English Exclusiveness.
We English are a strange race and
seem bom suspicious of our kind. In
London there are signs that a more
sociable spirit is abroad, but in the
country we still—figuratively speaking
—surround ourselves with moats and
stone walls to protect ourselves from
the inroads of any strangers who may
approach minus unimpeachable and
Infinite introductions.—London Black
