proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,' IS an Old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers arc worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh We
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there Is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and

is the most satisfactory treat

A recent issue of the Savannah
Morning News Sunday edition con-
tanned a long descriptive article of
the Pierpont Manufacturing Cos.
plant in that city, together with some
facts regarding the growth of that
business which will have an interest
to Crescent City people owing to the
fact that the company's original
plant was located here. Among
other things the article says:
The factory has three distinct de-
partments of manufacture, those of
boxes, crates and buckets. = =
The tub and bucket factory has been
in operation but three months. The
demand has been greater than the
supply during that time, and the
company has determined to make
numerous extensions. Among these
will be the construction of another
dry kiln and the placing of two more
lathes. The total output of the
plant is about 1000 packages daily;
under the head of packages, tubs and
buckets are not included, the output
of this department being about 1000
daily. The company employs POO
workmen at present, but it is prob
able that the number will will be
larger when the extentions are made
The company has trade in Cuba
Jamaica, New York, and thorough
out the southern states, as well as an
enormous local trade. The boxes
and buckets being made chiefly
for the Morehouse Manufacturing Co.
and Southern Cotton Oil Co.

POMONA.

The Middleton Bros, turpentine
operators at this place have dissolved
partnership. The business here will
in future be under the sole owner
ship of w. S. Middleton. Mr.. r. G.
Middleton has purchased the tur-
pentine camp of Mr.. Williams just
over the line in Marion county and
has gone there to take charge. The
Marion county firm will be known
as r. G. Middleton & Bro. The So

the removal of r. G. Middleton is
considerable.

big turpentine wagons with Pomona

Had Enough for One Chip.

This high play at Saratoga" OBJ

shock of gray hair would entitle him
to high military rank south of the
Ohio river, reminds me of a story

tieman could butt in Four gentle

kind said he would like to drop in.
There was no objection to him, but

Fgetting back at each other in one of
The most heartbreaking CANDLES OF
the evening. The drummer was
therefore ignored. This gave him
offence and he wanted to know why
his money wasn't as good as any
body's, and what objection they had,
anyhow, to playing for it.
"By this time the hand had been
played out and the tension relieved.
He was assured that no offence was
meant and that they would be glad
to have him sit in. The drummer,
somewhat on his mettie, drew out a
roll of bills, and peeling off century
note, threw 1t in the middle of the
table and asked who WAS banker.

mildly responded one of the players,
ringing a bell as he did so. A color

A large part of Crescent City's
male colored population is away at

ployment at nearby turpentine camps
ana others at Deans mill on Dead
Lake. Others have gone to south
Florida points for the fruit packing

Wade, report that one night recently
some native white men of that Sec
ton appeared before the packing
house in which they We're at work
and discharged their shot guns at the
building, probably as a warning that
imported colOred labor was not well

Last week the News made mention
of some promising grove properties
to the north Of the city, but neces.
sarily skipped some. Mention should
have been made of the grove former.
| Iy owned by l.. l.. Newsom, jr., now
the property of Mr.. M. H. White
This property is in q high state Of
cultivation, the trees are large and
thrifty and there is prospect for a
line crop of fruit in the next year OIL
two. The old field next east, once
the property of Ed. Newsom, now
owned by f. q. Sackett, has been
budded and cultivated this summer
and has made a fine growth. The
old NewsOm homestead, now the
property of Mr.. Torrey of Attleboro,
Mass, is also being well cultivated,
and without accident will again
make one of the finest places in this
section.
The trees in L. A. Hurlbut's 30
acre grove inside the town limits,
have made good growth this sum-
mer. A good many of the trees were
injured by the cold last winter, but
the trees thus injured were not in
good, healthy condition. The major
portion of the trees in this grove are
now presenting thrifty appearance,
and there seems to be no reason why
in another year they should not pro-
duce large quantity of fruit.
One of the most beautiful young
groves in this section is that owned
by Frank Buck. All along the street
front the tract is set out in rose
bushes, and these have grown to
large size. All the principal varieties
of roses are grown and many Of the
bushes are laden with flowers. The
ground in the grove is kept thOurghly
cultivated, and the trees have made
good growth during the past season.
There is quite Il crop maturing for
this winter, and another year ought
to make the grove yield profit.
rhe French grove, just across the
street, is also well cultivated, and the
trees have made II vigorous growth
this year.
The trees in the Hubbard park
grove have done well this season, and
they too, will probably yield well in
another year. Mr.. Chas. Webb, the
caretaker, has given much painstak-
ing attention to this property.

POPCORN J Arm

The corndrying shed of Andrew
Hemphill, in the northwestern part
of Fulton county, Pa, caught fire
last week and was consumed. Hemp
hill makes speciality of raising pop
corn and had 80 barrels of it spread
out to thoroughly dry on the second
floor of the shed. The heat caused
the corn to pop, and the popping corn
swelled up and caused the roof OF the
barn to burst open, the snow-white
mass rolling and tumbling out as the
roof gave way.
The floors caved in and the fire be-
low was smothered out by the pop
ped corn. The popping kept up for
four hours after the flames were
smothered. All that remains of the
cOrnshed and contents is large
white mass of popped corn almost as
big as the shed was.

one of the very few recorded cases
where the disease has not proved

department was asked to diagnose
what was feared to be case of small

batiant, Robert Schram, died after
an illness of three weeks, and later
another brother died with similar
symptoms. Learning that the young
