Requirements of n Good Stroke Oar.
During practice a good stroke is one
who is regular in his rowing and easy
to follow. He must give the big men
plenty of time to finish the stroke out.
He must keep them swinging steadily,
and in trial over the whole or any
portion of the course he must get ev-
cry possible ounce of work out of them,
so that they are completely rowed out
without having got short or flurried on
the way. In a race he must know the
capabilities of his crew and must be
able to feel how they are going, when
they want easing off and when they
are capable of higher pressure, while
above all he must have that degree of
generalship which will enable him to
decide in a well contested race when
to put the pressure on in order to take
the advantage of station at a certain
point of the course, when to ease off
if he is holding his opponent at a
slower rate of stroke how far it is
necessary for him to save himself for
an effort at the end and especially in
a really close contest the exact mo
ment at which he should make thi
"grande attaque. saturday Review.

The Erring One.

1t Is impossible for one who never
goes wrong nor makes a mistake nor
commits a blunder to know just how to
be sorry for an erring one. We must
stumble ourselves before we can really
judge OF the hardships Of rough road
and the frailty of weary feet. True
character is first tender, then hopeful
and afterward reformatory. - Ex-

Mrs: Elizabeth Hubbard Gregory, wife

Thursday morning at her home in this

tort. Mrs. Human was a true friend
and ne1ghbor and in time of sickness was
ready to render assistance. She will be
greatly missed as she was most highly
esteemed by those who knew her. She
was great reader, and for the past few
years it has been very hard for her to
give up work as she was one who loved

until June 10 they would have been mar
RED 54 years. Funeral services were
held at the home Tuesday at II O'Clock

quartette from st. Johnsburv rendered
very sweet music. The sympathy of the
community is extended to the bereaved

both line and grade.
The line of the tile should be as

simple Cure for MIX Fever.

My experience has been confined to
my herd and to some of my neighbors
cows. My treatment is with laudanum
and spirits of sweet inter. When the
COW Is first taken, give OF, laudanum
and inter in l pint blood-warm water
sweetened with molasses.
Shake up together in quart bottle,
hold up the cows head, slip the neck OF
the bottle in the side of her mouth, be.
tween the gridners and front teeth, and
let the liquid run down her throat. II
this does not relieve her, she will bloat
slightly and appear uneasy. In three or
four hours give OF more of laudanum
and inter; repeat this dose as often as
she becomes uneasy, or in three or four
hours. If this does not relieve the cow,
increase the quantity until the medicine
masters the disease.
One OF my cows had milk fever three
years in succession. The ordinary dose
did not relieve her, | gave OF laud.
anum and of inter at one dos 1t had

fever; with the above treatment, | have
never lost a cow.-Obadiah Brown In

San Jose Scale,

While it can undoubtedly be asserted
that San Jose scale is to be perma-
nency, it by no means follows that the
profitable growth of deciduous fruits Is
seriously menaced on this account. The
experience in California. covering many
years, has abundantly demonstrated
that this scale insect can be controlled,
and the more recent experience in the
east points Individually to the same
conclusion. In other words, according
to Entomologist Marlatt, by proper re-
pressive and remedial treatment an or
chard can be protected from serious in

Machen is one of the makers of the new
South. He has changed the map OF Central
Georgia. Flourshing towns have sprung up
along the railroad lines he has developed.
Hon. Clark Howell, in an editorial in the
Atlanta Constitution, said of him; $40 the
people of Georgia, Machen is known principal
ly by the roads he has built in the South. He
has brought all Georgia within hand-reach of
Atlanta. He is a public benefactor."
While at work on the Covington and Macon
railroad, Machens health failed. After much
useless expenditure of time and money he was
induced by friend who had been cured of
nervous prostration to try Paine's celery COM
pound. That the remedy was revelation to
him no one can doubt who reads Machen's
letter -

Gentlemen: | spent many thousands of
dollars, including eight months abroad, for
nervous prostration, and then found Paine
celery compound the remedy ought to have
taken at first. Doctors periodically tinkered
at and patched me up so that my nerves would
hold together for short while, seemingly Just
long enough for my bank account to get a
respite. However, your medicine has side
tracked the doctors. My nerves don't seem to
require any rest, and | am in such good spirits
these days it doesn't matter much whether
have any bank account or not. have deter
mined on Paine's celery compound as my
family remedy from now on.

The muskmelop seeds we're started in
pots. and being difficult to transplant,
the pots were prepared especially for
the work. The drainage was provided
with broken pieces Of pot placed in the
bottom Of the pots, which were filled
half full of rich pottIng soil. A handful
of Jadoo fiber was placed on top of this
and the pot was filled nearly full Of the
soil, when the seeds were planted.
When we'll established, the pots were
removed to cold frame and placed on
boards TO prevent the roots from grow
ing into the soil. The plants were
thoroughly soaked before transferring to
the open ground.
Hills seven feet apart each way were
made by thoroughly mixing welI-rotted
manure with the soil, when holes were
dug sufficiently large to take the plant
from the pot. Care was necessary In
removing plants from the pots to leave
the roots undisturbed. After plants
were set in,water was poured in the hill
and the loose soil and manure were
drawn In to fill the hole. When plants
were well established they were thinned
down to three or four to the hill. j. +.

As the pioneer of new system of railroad
building in the South, Machen knows what ii
is to live under intense nervous strain. His
joy at finding in Paine's celery compound a
reliable means of restoring his nervous energy
is shown in every line of his letter to the pro.
pretors of this great remedy.
When thousands of men and women in
every walk of life, from the humblest to the
most famous and honored voluntarily 90 ou
of their way to tell others the great gooc
Palncs celery compound has done them;
when the ablest physicians and the best in
formed pharmacists not only prescribe anc
recommend, but themselves use and fine
health in Panes celery compound, the present
great demand for the spring remedy is not tc
be wondered at
Paines celery compound is the one rea
spring remedy known today that never fails tc
benefit. 1t cures diseases due to nervou:
weakness or a bad state of the blood. The
most wide-awake, intelligent part of every

enthusiastic vouchers and indorsers.
The agreement of opinion among the best
informed, most observant class of people, il
the well-to-do homes of our largest cities, a:
well as in the more frugal town communities
places Paine's celery compound far in advance
of any spring remedy.
