HE QuIT.


A talkative old man attracted the
attention of every one in the car. He
was very tall and very large, and his
thick head of hair would have excited
the envy of the Chicago board of trade
"Where do you liver" some one
asked.

but between old rails and new wool

"How far are you going ?"
Thought I'd 60 down to Hot
Springs"
Rheumatism ?"
"Oh, no. Just thought I'd go down
there and boil some of the Ticker out
of me. I quit drinking for awhile
but went to a sort of banquet one
night and got started again."
SHOW old are you?"
"Eighty-two."
"Pretty old man to get on SPREE
"Well; but I wasn't so old when
got on it."
"How long ago was it?"
"Forty odd years."
"What, and you haven't gotten over
it yet?"
"No, for I just kept on drinking
I'm pretty bad when get started"
"You don't mean to say that you
have been drunk for 40 years?"
ayes, I do. Went to that old Whie
banquet 43 years ago this coming
June, and have been whooping it uI
ever since until the other day, and
then in a thoughtful moment I said tc
myself that it was time to quit, and
did. My wife had something to dc
with it, too. Look here, Godfrey,
said she, IF you ever expect to make
anything of yourself, you'll have tc
stop drinking. 1t is about time you
was making success of your paper
and I would advise you to quit
SWELL" the old man continued, 81
took the matter under advisement and
quit D.; so now the reaction causes the
necessity of few baths. I tell you
that after a man has been on spree
awhile it is a pretty hard matter tc
break right off. I don't intend tc
drink another drop. A man cannot
afford to throw away his life. There
is too much work to be DONE"

whether during summer and until cold

s1 The practice Of burning old and
dry grass in unocupied lands, in order
that younger and more tender growth
may give pasture to cattle, is disastrous
to the general welfare. 1t is not alone
the grass that burns, and sometimes
adjoining pine forests, but the humus
in the sandy soil is burnt out, and the
future wealth and resources of the
State are destroyed.

other paper in the Fifth Congressional
district, and is distinguished from other
papers in the following important partic-
rlars: First. 1t is edited at home for
home readers. Second. It's news is closest
up to date. Third. 1t is one of the most
reliable. Fourth. 1t gives its subscribers
the greatest values for the least money.
Fifth. 1t is issued both weekly and
semi-weekly. Sixth. 1t is the best

THE SEMI-WEEKLY EDITIONS
are issued on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Each edition contains all the more impor-
tant county, State and general happenings
close up to date, and differs most material
ly from the weekly editions Of daily pa
pers in that it eliminates that which is OF
no interest in this section, and condenses
into short and convenient space the glst
of important happenings in such manner
as to give the reader the greatest amount
of information with the least amount OF
reading. The size of each edition is gov
erned by the amount of important matter
to be published ; but it is never less than
twentv-four columns, and always contains
more live news than any other paper pub
lished in this section.

Milk from common cows when grass

The cow has no filter in her to purify
water, and if the water is impure the
