-V-- I ~ THE WEEKLY STAR. PCBtlTHEB EVERY TUESDAY BY Ghas. O. Peavy. Douglas‘Co. Official Organ.. Entered at the post office at Douglasville, <}it 0 os second class mail matter. MAY 19th, 1885. Advice is seldom welcome if given unsolicited. It is not well to turn a deaf ear to the admonitions of your It lends, but the officious services oi' the professional advice giver are un bearable. No matter what your pro fession or business may be, you have all met the man who insists on telling you of your failings, financial mis takes, etc. He is as old as the globe and came in with the climate. He never tires of informing you how much better he could manage your business, and how much faster he could gather in the ducats, if he were only in your place. I honestly believe that part of the flood was gotten up as a farewell benefit performance in the interest of the first advice giver. Providence proved cruel to future mankind, and permitted him to stow himself away in the hold of the good ship Ark, and escape Captain Noah’s vigilant eye until they were many days at sea. We meet his descend ants everywhere. He has at especial pick at the hard-working scribe of the country press. He glories in telling the publisher that he must give more reading matter to the square inch and less advertising to the page, if lie wishes to hold his subscribers. He doesn’t seem to realize that advertisements mean Dread and butter, while a deliquent subscription list means—well, a new word will have to be coined to express at. He gently insinuates that the obituary of his friend Simpkins was not as glowing a tribute to the memo ry of the deceased as he expected. Nine oat of ten times he is a man who can’t tell the difference between a pay lo io cal announcing that cabbage plants are ripe and an editorial on Cleveland’s policy. He frequently tells the harrassed knight of the Faber that he should make a better local paper, and should also come out stronger in his political articles and yet be mild enough to retain his sub- scriibers of the oposite faith. We .ihave known a pronounced prohibi- ctionist, editor of a temperance or igan, lo make a wild break for a rsaloon after half an hour’s conversa tion with an advice fiend. He would -worry El Mahdi into the delirium tremens and convince him that he ■' knew nothing of war in fifteen min- sutes. A conceited man who talks of ^himself can be borne, but nitro 'glycerine is too good to associate with the roan who is continually meddling with theaffairs of other ^people. He turns out more suits for •di voirce than Gold Feet, Mother in iLaw, Hncongenialness and Com- jP any. £Tn Randolph court last week oJudge John T. Clark said, that a :game of billiards played where the one who is beaten pays for the game is gambling. He further said, that billiards being a game of chance,and .{therefore a gambling game.that per- ,-sona keeping tables at private dwel lings are liable to prosecution when »aninorsaje allowed to play. Another prominent revelation of the Judge’s was that grand jurors over the age - of 60 yeafs are not qualified rnem- rbers. In view of this fact several it rue hills Cow ud by the grand of la»t .-session, which had members over r®0 years of age, were aolle pressed i by the prosecuting counsel. Such .casesthough,wera.igain placed before the present sitting jury, and bills wero again found against such violators. known as S. S. S.

" I am sorry for your affliction, hut I believe this medicine will cure you if persisted in. I would not stop under one dozen or more large size bottles, which can be secured at reasonable cost.
