Don't Worry.

This Is easier sad than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is something over which you have no control it is obvious that wor- rying will not help the matter in the least. On the other hand, If within your control you have only to act. When you have cold and fear an attack of pneu- monia, buy a bottle of Chamberlain S Cough Remedy and use it judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. There is no danger of pneumonia when 1t is used. For sale by all druggists. adv.

 The happy houzrs from 8 to on New Years Day are still fresh in the hearts of the guests of Mrs. A. H. McNeel, who entertained in compliment to her cousin, Miss Allen of Columbus. Ga., who Is spending the holidays with her.
 The novel entertainment was borrowed from the Portugese who believe the Cato Preto Cblack cat) has charms un- rivaled, even by Tennyson's Dream of Fair Women,' and always bring good luck. The large reception hall and parlors were as artistic and ornate as unique in decorations. Through the rud- dy glow of coals and shaded burning tapers black cats peeped here and there on walls, lace curtains, etc. On the polished cherry floor of the front parlor lay a large white rug embroidered with a black cat, which was indeed an art square, Each guest was handed a card with pencil tied with black ribbon, upon the cards were questions pertaining to the cat. Guessing the answers afforded the merriest pastime and the maidens tears fell on the lip of laughter and hope of change of fate, for the black cat brings good luck only" The prize, a lovely etching. was won by Miss Mamie Holt and presented by her to Miss Lula Allen, the guest of honor.
 The dainty refreshments of salads, hot chocolate and "embrorsal sweets was served from china decorated with black cat heads by two black cats personated by Misses Annie Cordelia McNeel and Loula Belle Matthews. dressed in black with white aprons, caps and black cat masks.
 The soucenirs were the January issue of the Black Cat magazine tied with bows of American beauty ribbon. Tis said just as tn New Year begins so will 1t be all the year From the invested smiles and laughter on this occasion the year should ever be and close with big dividend of joyousness and make happy "The World Beautiful' for the New Year, 1903.

The search was made a few days after Cobb had surrendered Macon, I was in the house when the Federal officer came in. He started to break the trunk open, when Mrs. Clay, in a very dignifed manner, handed the officer her keys with a remark that cut like q knife. l was only a youngster, and have forgotten what she said, but remember how the man winced under the sarcasm What recalls this incident to me is the publication of the story in the papers of the Lincoln conspiracy"

 Paper, "Trilogy," by Mrs Brigham,
 Music by Miss Hodge.

 At the close of the program, Mrs P. T Downs, who was a guest, was invited to talk. She told in delightful manner some- thing of her visit abroad, but particu- larly of England. When she arrived in England the people were carried away with enthusiasm over the declaration of peace. You would have supposed" said Mrs. Downs, that England was the only nation to found colonial empire. They seemed to forget the fact that Portugal and Spain divided South Africa between them. and that other countries, Holland, and France, for instance, are rich In CO., lonial possessions"
 Mrs. Downs told of. the coronation the bewildering and beautiful spectacle but said she thought the greatest lesson to be learned from it was the loyalty of the English people to a monarchial gov IHS ldAV great piedS- ure. she said. in assuring Americans that their people have more to do with shap- ing the government than Americans have; that the President has far more authority than the King. Speaking of the language, Mrs. Downs said that Eng fish was murdered far worse by the Eng fish cockney than 1t ever Is in America by the Westerner, the down East Yan- kee. or the negro-the latter can be un- derstood and the cockney cannot. Of the English character, she said that the Eng fish were the most self-satisfied people in the world outside of Boston, Much of the lent of English people, as we'll as that or Boston, is apt to be lost to the world because it is grafted in their bump of conceit instead of the fertile soil of their brains.
 Concluding, Mrs. Downs recited the beautiful poem, "A Hundred Years from Now p
