pelvic region, easily startled or excited,

In any condition OF the female system,

only good-never harm. Its whole effect
is TO strengthen, invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are de-

The battle for to see.

And likewise in the South,
When Ben got out his pitchfork and
Doll loaded mp his month,
And each one took pump along

The pitchfork glistened in the blaze

And Dolly's mouth was mighty like
A wide and gateless path,
While every now and then the pumps
Went out and took bath.
The CORY duellists engaged
In paving up the ground.
And scattered gravel everywhere
For miles and miles around,
While all tho rs in all the papers
Winked at the rasping sound.

And for a moment victory
Seemed destined for the South;
When suddenly brave Dolliver

And wholly swallowed it;
Yst victory was not announced
For either right or wrong,
Because the Pitchfork still held fast
And took the mouth along.

Unweaponed, helpless-say.

We make them stay that way.

Southern farms, both tor man
and beast. During the fall and
winter months it furnishes the
housewife with that excellent
vegetable to boil, and the cows,
pigs and chickens all appreciate
it. Even in the CITY and towns
of the South it is quite astonish-
ing the demand there is for this
vegetable, and the market gar
deners around Atlanta find it
necessary 70 devote a constantly
increasing acreage 10 this crop.
In fact, the Georgia collard has
come to be one of the mos prof
table crops they grow.
Ordinarily, l prefer 10 plant

July 90 the middle of August, as

worms than when planted in
early spring. | have also tried
planting them between the rows
of other vegetables, but this /
have abandoned, as the land is
usually in poor physical condi-
ton, and they Go not grow off as
well as they should. Then, too,
they are more likely to become
choked with grass if the weather
is wet and it costs SO much to
work them out that it materially
affects the profits. In fact, l
cannot recommend planting any
thing between rows of some other
growing crop unless it be in
small gardens where the land is
extremely rich.
1t takes rich land to grow fine
collards, just as it does cabbage,
although we can grow excellent
collards on land that would not
make paying crop of cabbage,
especially il we start early and
get our land into fine physical
condition.
Probably the finest crop of col
'lards | ever grew was on piece
of three-year-old new ground.
The land had been n cantaloupes

and | may add, the stumps had
been dug out so we could plow
and work the land thoroughly
The cats came off in June, and
then we turned the land deeply
with a two-horse plow, and be-
gan fixing it for collards. Every
week we did something to that
two acres, cutting it up with cut
away harrow, and following with
drag and smoothing harrow until
we had it N excellent shape

WANTS FINE TIMBER.

The Marietta Journal says Cobb coun-
ty has a right to offer as many candi-
dates for judge and solicitor as she
pleases. True, Brother Neal, and the
voters of the other counties have a
right not to vote for them. 1t is our
opinion that the counties outside of
Cobb will elect a Judge and solicitor
next year. Make a mark right here,
and see how far we miss it. If Cobb
gets finger in the pie she will have to
put up some men who are such fine
timber that the people will choose
them regardless of county lines. Cobo
county is not the only pea on the vine
and the people are going to show all
doubling Thomases that this is true.

STEVE CLAY.

1t would be decided loss to Georgia
to have Steve Clay retired from the
senate.
There has heen no harder worker for
Georgia at Washington in many years.
Clay is rot a brilliant talker. He
does not pose as a scholar and expound-
er of the constitution.
But he is a worker-an earnest, de-
termiued, indefatigable worker; al
ways looking out for the interests Of
Georgians, never forgetting or neglect
ing any commission that is entrusted
to him.
He is the kind of man that is needed
at Washington, and should be kept
there. Georgia, in these days, needs a
worker at the national capital, one who
is not afraid or ashamed to look out for
the interests of his humblest constit-
uent, one who is always easily ap-
preached, one who will hustle night
and day to aid Georgian.
Such man is Steve Gay. Every one
who has had any business with Wash
ington knows that
Georgia does not want or need two
great speech in the United
States senate. 1t does want hustler
and worker Steve Clay fills that bill
1t would be a decided loss if he were
not returned for another term.-Amer.
