A Gun Causes Anxiety? Thursday evening just after dark Mr and Mrs H. H. Mims heard something disturbing a hen find biddies. A day or two previous Mr ?? hid purchased a small single bar rel breech loading shot gun. The new weapon was seized the gentleman who was anxious, to investigate the cause of the h/n’s troubles. The hen and her family were under the house. Mr Mims discovered a oat catch ing the little chickens and he shot the cat, killing it: but what sur prised him most be had shot bis wife, also. The lady was stooping down near the opposite side of lhe hou~e and was not observed by her bus band until one shot had penctia ted her face and another bad en tered tier leg near the ankle. We are glad t tat the wounds were only slight. The next morning one of Mr. Mini's sons was handling the gun in the house when a report was heard, and it was found that the load from the weapon had narrow ly missed the child’s little sister. One of the neighbors says the gun had caused Mr Mims to be very nervous. We hope he will not ha\e any more anxiety on Re count of the weapon. The Chance Os The Farmer. A communication deploring the o idiiion of the farmers and ex prea.ing a real tyrade on the merchants and hifc/jV-y men of th’s town was banded to the editress Saturday by a good citizen’ who must have recently talked with one man probably in distress. The farmers of this section have some golden opportunities. Letuisee. Mr. W, H. Dunn >wn:ng and operating a small one horse farm near Boykin deposited about Christmas mere than $500.- 03. He owes no man anything ex cept to love him. Since then he has marketed the ground peas gathered from four acres of land $225,00. He raises no cotton: but sells much pork and other provis ions. A few days ago Mr Spoon- er told us that lie had recently sold from one and one half acres of land s'z2sUO worth of sweet potatois. A few weeks ago Mr Joe Toole sold a mule he raised after using the animal seven years furs2so.oo. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Lane in tbeir magi.iff,ent country home provided with water worksand sur rounded wi h fertile acres are bles sings to humanity in as much as they often sell corn, meat, lard, syrup, potatoes, fowls, eggs, but ter and then they donate to neigh bors buggy loads of good things to eat, Mr Lane owns a ban Isome car. Mr. and Mrs. Eli Tabb live in luxury on another splendid faim in this county. With a big depos it in the bank, herds of cattle I bringing per head from SIO.OO to' $20.00 and a good automobile they are far better off than scores of their friends who live in town. Them there is Mr W. B. Shep pard who is giving bis children a collegiate education from the re sources from his excellent farm. We could name hundreds of other cit Zens of Miller county who have bank accounts or full pocket books and are prospering on the farm: but each paragsaph contains a suggestion or good for thought. No Miller county like Brooks county has “mighty big men” far ming and the energetic and thrif ty planter certainly can clear money on the farm. THE SECRET OF WEALTH. You do not need to be poor all your life. You can have money if you will pay the price for it. The two impoitant words in this article is T H R I F T an d T I M E. The thrift of the French is pro verbial. ■They work on a simple princi pal. Spend less than the income and save the balance. In saying the French figure on two factors, thrift and time. They realize that the greater of the two is time. Time ,is that which piles interest on princ'pal. The Frenc area bond buying p ople. They buy their on Goverment bonds-called Rentes, and they bold them so is to gtve Time a chance to make interest on the princi pal. A French Renta maybe purcha sed for as little as ten francs “$2.” But the French do not coniine themselves to Rentes at “25.” each. They hold as a people American securities, the interest on which is §(100,000.000 per year. Ln other words everyman woman and child jin the Unitvd States pays io the French nation nearly $7 per annum as bonus on French thrift. , There are 90,000 000 of peoplf in the U. S. Twenty millions are children in ■public schools. •Deducting these there are 70,000 090 remaining. But it is safe to say they are not all bondholders in America. ■ yVhy? There are three reasons. , y L The American people pu their money rn saving banks. Thert is now on deposit in our saving batiks $4,000,000,000. You can o'conceive this sum of money, but it means (about S4OO for the depositors It is not as easy to buy small de nomination bonds in America as it is in France. Despite our prosperity, we are not strictly a thrifty people-—We waste. A man in New Hampshire, who now considers himself well-to-do, saved a dime every day for fifty years. With compound Jinterest this amounted to $5,572. With a little farm paid for this man is indepen dent, for.bis bonds pay him S2BO a year. Go to a firet class bond bouse. For safty have your bonds regis tered A first class bond houss will take just as much pains with Jyour ordei for a hundred-dollar bon! as it would if yoy bought a thous and bond. If hard times come on and you need your money the eashire that sold you the bond will lend you money on it. Money makes money but the money that money makes make more money. Folds--Grant.

Womanly Wisdom. “Just rain and snow, and rain again, and dribble, drip and blow! Then snow and thaw and slush, and then— Some more rain and snow!’’ Put a scratcher for matches in every room of the house, and eave the walls. Paint the vinegar barrel, hoops and all, and save them from rust ing off and making a mass in the cellar. The invitation to a modern fashionable wedding ought to read, “the honor of your presents is requested.” It is time to look through the cellar and see that there are no rotten turnips, cabbages or potato es to pollute the air. “There’s a lots of gir’s that don’t ever intend to get married.” “How do you know?” “I’ve asked several of them.” When you spill hot grease upon the floor, immediately pour cola water upon it. This cools it bet fore it can strike into the wood. When dressing poultry co not waste the feet. Place them in boiling water for a few minutes, and the skin and nails will come off easily. They will make a deli cious bit of soup or jelly. It is nature forchildaen to snore if they do so, take them to a doctor to learn the cause of the obstruct ion to the free passage of air from nose to throat. The tonsils may be enlarged, or there may be some growth in the nasal passage, or catarrh of the throat or nose. From March Farm Journal. How Does Your Stationery Look? Does It Suit You?
