A man who was serving a life
sentence for murder in one of the
Georgia prison camps was pardoned
the other day when his little daugh-
ter wrote Gov. Terrell, ''Please let
my papa come home, ] misses him
SO much"
Now is the time of year when the
small boy saunters around the poul-
try yard scanning with critical eye
the dimensions of each member of
the turkey family, selecting the one
that, in his own estimation, is best
suited to grace the table on the day
of days.
"A young man who spent Sun
day evening with one of our fair
maidens, told her, among other
things that she was brick. She
surprised him by saying, Aren't
pressed bricks worth more than
the other kind?" He undoubtedly
agreed that they we're.
This is the time of the year
when one should be putting on the
finishing touches for the winter. It
is not going to be long now before
the coal fires will have to be started
and the storm sheds made snug and
tight for but little desirable weather
can be expected after this time of
year.
An exchange tells of a man
who claimed he was too poor to
take his home paper, but all the
same he read q notice in a down
east paper, telling how to pre-
vent horse from soldering, and
sent 81. SO for the receipt. When
the $3.50 worth of informatio'-
came it SAID: Teach your horse
to spit"
A good example Of the bright
ness of some of the youngsters in
the grades occurred the other day
when one of the boys having failed
to remember what his spelling les
son was missed several words out
of the list assigned. The teacher
then told him that he would have
to stay after school and write each
misspelled over ten times. After
the other pupils had been dismissed
for the day, the teacher called him
to her desk and asked him if he had
the words written. mo ma'am, he
replied, II was just waiting to ask
you if it wouldn't do just as we'll if
I wrote each word once and then use
ditto marks"
A set of grafters have been
making the neighboling counties
inducting the farmers to list their
land with them for sale. The
contracts which the farmers sign
so read that the land sharks are
to receive 50 an acre to try to sell
the land. The contract is so
worded as to appear all right, but
on a close reading of the same it
is evident that the farmer agrees to
pay the 50 an acre to the land
agents for simply trying to sell
the land whether they succeed or
not. Be on the lookout for these
sharpers and do not allow them to
rope you in. Here is another
case where it is demonstrated
that it is wise to deal with home
dealers. They have a reputation
at stake and will treat you honor
able. Never sign a paper for a
stranger before you have had time
