of an appendage of that sort for the

On the other hand, it is to be pre-

dog-collar does not absolutely impov-
erish the Whitney end of the syndicate.
The head of that branch has quit
expatiating ON "Jeffersonian simple

Besides, 1t is understood that his

BEFORE AND AFTER.


% (From the Chicago News)
Tie woman he married was not
In the least what his fancy depicted.
But he was content with his lot,
And didn't seem badly afflicted.
He thought of connubial life
In way that was purely ideal,
But later discovered his wife
Was most Enthusiastically real.
She lost all her fondness for walks,
Where the moonlight its soft shad-
ow scatters,
And all those imagined sweet talks
Were entirely on practical matters.
No scorn had she now for base pelf,
She ate three square meals without
trouble
And wanted n chair to herself,
Declining with him to sit double.
In fancy he sat as she played
And sung soft and low in the twi-
light;
Instead she now pulled down the shade
And turned up the gas toNa high
light
The poets together they planned
TO read, while the marriage was
pending,
Now seldom or never were scanned
He smoked and she sat at her mend
ing.
Fond visions. how swiftly they fade
Into gray from their tints bright anG
rosy!
And poems of life we see made
Into something undoubtedly prosy
But none of this made the man sore
Indeed, he'd no cause for detection,
For she made all the dresses she wore
And cooked pork and beans to per
fection.

Receipt of Delayed Plant system
Checks Causes Rejoicing.

Waycross, Ga, Jan. 22.-Mr. Frank
NJ. Hawkins received a telegram this
morning announcing the serious ILL
ness of his father. DIR. T. D. Hawkins,
at Kings Ferry, Fla. He left on train
80 for his fathers bedside.
There has been great rejoicing in
Waycross to-day and yesterday over
the arrival of the regular monthly
checks due the employees of the Plant
System. The checks were about week
late in coming, owing, so it is said, TO
the death of Paymaster DowelPs wife,
and it made business unusually dull
here for few days.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Woodland reports ten head
of sheep burned to death near his
place by the forest fires.
Rev. r A. Brown, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, is able to be out
again after several weeks Illness. He
has been troubled with rheumatism.

New Book Completed by the Compi-
IatiOn Committee.

Athens, Ga, Jan. 22.-The new Pres
advance copies have been received by
the editors in Athens. The book has
been in process of compilation for
three years under the supervision of a
committee of which DR.. ]. w. Walden,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church Of
this city, is chairman, the committee
being q special committee of the
Southern Presbyterian Church to COM
pile hymn book to be the standard
of the entire Southern Church.
This committee consists of DR.. ].
w. Walden, chairman, Revs. r. e.
Reed, w. p. Lawrence, A. w. Mil
ster, S. l.. Norris. r. H. Rice and
Major c. Whitner secretary, and was
assisted by Prof. ]. p. Campbell Of
the University of Georgia, and Prof.
Joseph Maclean, as musical editors.
The book is splendid monument to
the labors of the committee. 1t con-
sists of 715 hymns ana several pages
of chants and selections for chanting.
The book from cover to cover con-
tains 500 pages, and is very neat from
typographical standpoint.
This is the first authorized Presby-
terrain hymn book published since 1866,
and will answer a much-needed want.
1t is in every sense a modern book,
and is gotten out in the very latest
style of bookmaking.
1t will be universally adopted
throughout the South, as it has the
official sanction of the Southern Pres
byterian Publication Committee, which
has exclusive control over all the
church publications.
Athens is probably more
largely represented in the
making of the book than any other
Southern city, as DR.. Walden is chair
man of the Editorial Committee, and
had all the responsibility of correcting
the proof-sheets of the words, while
DR.. Campbell had charge of the cor
rectlon of the proofs of the notes. DR..
Campbell also has eight tunes of his
own composition in the book. The new
hymn book will be ready for distri-
button in a few days.
Col. C. M. Smelling, professor OF
mathematics in the University of Geor-
gia, came near losing both his eyes
yesterday. He was spraying some
flowers in the flower garden, when the
tip of the spray nozzle came off and
the mixture of carbolic acid and water
flew all over his face. 1t was thought
for several hours that the sight had
been destroyed, but it afterwards de-
veloped that the sight was intact.

SUWANEE SPRING.

At Camden. N. J., they were discuss
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR. Taylor. the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau Of
Materia Medica, said:
That meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. l published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs

in speaking of the announcement Of

Neither of them can ask more.
The drift among the masses has
been for some time in favor of the

Mr.. Terrells progress in that direction
is overwhelming confirmation"
Mr.. Query concludes by expressing
the hope that there win be joint de-
bates, and says that he will insist upon
them as to Mr.. Terrell as he is a law

Boone in the southern part of the
county, has been losing chickens and
geese about as fast as they could
hatch and it was suspected that wild
cats were the thieves Last Saturday,
Willie Swilley, a son Of one of his
neighbors, set an otter trap close to
Mr.. Boone's place, and in a path that
evidently led from Boone's place to the
swamps. The next morning he found
a. huge wild cat in the trap. That night
he set the trap again and yesterday
morning he found another cat. larger
than the first, in ii. 1t is estimated
that these two cats have stolen enough
chickens to stock a first class poultry
yard.

he made many friends who regret his

THosAsvILLE's CITY ELECTION.


The white Primary Ticket Goes in.
Thomasville. Ga. Jan. 22.-The fol-

was duly elected yesterday without
opposition. For Mayor J. r. Culpep-

man, j F.. Lamb and w. B. Hamil-
ton; for Board of Education, Fondren
Mitchell and C. M. Smith. The people
generally seemed pleased with the sue
cessful working of the white primary,
as it has removed some very objec-
tionable features from the city cleo
ton.
Chief Powell of the brownsville fire
department, in his annual report to
the City Council, shows that the de-
partment responded to 46 alarms dur
ing the year: 25 were sent by tele-
phone, u by the public and 8 were
false alarms. The estimated loss was
$9,2S0: of this amount 1929 was COW
cred by insurance. Only three build
ings were destroyed, and So damaged,
and the buildings destroyed were be-

The change in method of paying off
it's employees by the Plant System is
causing considerable confusion and in
convenience in brownsville. Hereto

to the 18th by means of a pay train.
1t was understood that this month they
would adopt the system of paying eff
by checks, but so far the checks have
not been received. and as many OF the
employees live right up to their income,
the delay is working some hardship.

Americas, Ga, Jan. 22.--As the out
come of the fight between the City
Council and the Board of Police Com
missioners, Americas now has two
heads to the police department and two
sets Of police officers, each serving sep
arate authorities. To-day Chief of Po-
lice Wheeler ignored the order of Mayor
Fielder to report to him whether the
police would recognize the City Council
or the Police Commissioners, and he
will continue to receive orders from
the commission as heretofore, as will
two members of the police force. All
other police officers will recognize the
authority OF the City Council and will
serve under Acting Chief William Fea-
gin. The Police Commissioners to-day
retained three lawyers and will fight
in the courts to maintain their author
ity.
The affair has caused the liveliest in
terest and battle royal will result. In
the meantime each set of policemen
will serve the authorities they recog-
nize.
