future.

The old gentleman that said
there would not be any locusts in
these parts this year has proved
his prediction true. We have no
locusts and our authority tells us
that he still stays with his first
assertion, We believe he knows
what he is talking about. This
again proves that one who has
observed as he has passed through
life comes nearer knowing the con-
dition of affairs than those who
have only book learning.-Jackson
Herald.
The county court Tuesday after
noon refused to grant dramshop
licenses to VIM. Steffens and j. A.
Kerwin, Graniteville, and Jehu
Jones, Middlebrook. The petit
tions failed to state the lot and
block in which the saloons were to
be conducted, and on this techni-
cality license was refused. They
cannot file another petition and
make application for license again
until the November term of the
county court. In the meantime
Graniteville and Middlebrook will
have the lid on.
Says an exchange: "Microbes
in everything you eat and drink,
and if you eat and drink microbes
you will surely die, and If you
don't eat and drink you will still
more surely die. Bound to surely
die in any event, you had better
pay no more attention to microbes
than your granddaddies did.
They ate and drank everything
they wanted and they lived long
and prospered. What did Me-
thuselah know about microbes in
his time? Eat and drink every
thing you want, microbes and all,
and you will live until you die,
and that is what old Methuselah
did, he lived until he died.
