The public man in America who has
never been tagged with nickname
may be just as efficient and worthy of
praise as his brethren who are known
as "Bill' and "Joe," but he has not
achieved an equal measure of popular
ity. Nicknames are oftener inspired by
affection than by aversion. 'The men
OF the people," so called, are invari-
ably nicknamed. Venerable citizens
still refer to "Abe" Lincoln, dwelling
with reminiscent affection upon the alb
breviation. Mechanics both good and
bad are as old as history. In this coun-
try the people have way of abbrevi-
ating the names Of the men they really
like and assigning their full titles to
the men who prefer dignity to popular
ity.-Pittsburg Gazette

when HoOuS Regain.

When were hoops "in'' for the first
time2 According to Strut, "trundling
the hoop is a pastime of uncertain or
igin, but much in fashion at present.
a8OD. DIR. Murray's dictionary, Incl
dentally remarking that the original
hoop affected by boys was a barrel
hoop, gives no English reference to it
earlier than 1892. But the hoop was
well known to ancient Greek and Ro-
man boys, who called it ''trochus'
(wheeD. Their hoops were made of
bronze, and representations of them on
gems show that they were driven by a
little hook with a wooden handle, very
like the modern boys hoop stick. This
was called by the Greeks "elater"
driver and by the Romans "clavis"
Ckey) Sometimes the ancient hoop had
bells attached to it, and modern Lon
don may be glad to be spared at least
that exasperation.-Lon Chronicle

TRAINS ARRIVING ON SCHEDULE
Central is Doing Better These Piping
Days.

The regularity with which the Cen
trail trains reach Americas now is the
marvel of the multitude, and the old
custom of going to dinner by the arri-
val of these MONDAY trains has been
resumed and without any fear of starv-
ing en- route. Two or three times re-
Gently the Macon train has rushed in
even a few minutes ahead, to the aston
ishment of people in the waiting room
who had brought provisions and bed
ding with the expectation of spending
night or two there ere the trains
came in. Sunday next the Central y i'll
put on still another daily train, Ameri-
Gus to Macon and Atlanta, and thus
will greatly relieve the pressure during
the holiday week

THE PRESENTS NEVER SATISFY
Spirit OF Discomfort Manifest at
Xmas.

1t is now that the giver of gifts seek
eth in Americas for something that he
or she is sure will please, but no mat
ter what is selected the "other thing"
was what the recipient wanted. 1t was
the long cared mule that leaned its
head over the fence and longed for the
green grass in the other fellows pas
ture. The grass in the other fellows
pasture is always greener. The other
fellows Job is always better than our
own. The girl with blue eyes rails at
fate because her orbs are not sable
hue, and the dark complexioned girl
weeps because her skin is not more
fair. The city man longs for the quiet
of the country, and the man on the
farm chafes because his lot is dull.

EFFORTS TO SAVE EXCHANGES
Futures Business May Continue in
This State.

In Americas, interest is centered in
another attempt to save the cotton ex-
changes, now being put forth in At
lanta. 1t is stated on what is be-
heved to be good authority that a
petition for an injunction to restrain
the state of Georgia from putting into
effect the new law prohibiting the
operation of bucket shops and certain
brokerage business will in all proba-
bility be filed with Judge w, L. New
man, of the United States Court of the
northern district of Georgia, within the
next few days. / is said that this
action Will be taken at the instance of
w j. O'Dell and Thomas IL. Shay, of
Cincinnati, who own wires running in
to the city of Atlanta. 1t is cOntended
that such law is contrary to the rights
granted under the constitution of the
United States and interferes with inter
state commerce. Just in what particu-
lar the law is alleged to interfere with
interstate commerce is not stated.

OUT OF SORTS.
People Not Really Sick are Often Mos I
IN Need Of Care.

The people who actually are mo st in
need of kind works and medical treat
ment are not those who are really sick,
but just tout of sorts
The old time energy, force, strength
and happy spirits are lacking; the
physical and mental powers are flag
ging; there is poor appetite, and they
cannot get the good out of the food
they eat. In nine cases out of ten, this
results directly from weakened stom-
ach, and no other treatment equals
Mi-o-na to restore strength and health.
When the nerves and muscles are
weak, if there is sleeplessness, irrita-
bility, snd specks before the eyes, when
the head aches and there is dull pain
in the back, and there is any distress
and heaviness in the stomach, dizzi-
ness, and sometimes nausea, the use of
Mi-ona stomach tablets for few days
will make a world of Improvement, and
continued use for a reasonable time will
restore perfect health.
These tablets are not mere digestives:
they absolutely strengthen all the or
gans of digestion, so that there is good
appetite, perfect digestion and strong
nerves, when they are used.
A large box Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets is sold for so cents by Dodson's
Drug Store, with an absolute guarantee
that they will be successful in curing
digestion and restoring health, or the
money will be refunded. Ask him to
show you the liberal guarantee they
give with every so cent box of Milo

GRIZZLIES ARE VICIOUS STILL
Squeezing the Market on the Bureau
Report

Again the bears had their inning
yesterday, and the pressure exerted
kept the price of the staple down to
ten cents. The slump of the day before
as the result ofthe Government report,
putting the crop at 1906, 900 bales,
depressed prices and shaved more than
a half cent from values. Fortunately,
this slump came after the crop here
has been sold, and farmers are affected
but little. During the past month.
while prices ranged from 10 I-2 to
10 ga cents, the remainder of the crop
here has been marketed very rapidly.
In fact, no other cotton crop in recent
years has been marketed and sold as
fast as this one, and there is less cotton
in the Americas warehouses today
than ever before at this 'early date in
December.
