One of the most beautiful pictures
that has presented itself to my obser-
vation is child in death. It's rigid
limbs composed in lines OF regular
form, it's body reposirg upon the slab,
quiet and motionless, its sweet little
face, as on sleep-not twitch, not
tremor, not q quiyer-an placid, all
serene, all majesty Of beauty, clothed
as its little frail, stifened body in
wreaths of immortelles, it's features
clothed in childish angelic smiles.
There is the sad side yet to come
the grief-stricken parents deep in
their souls weeping for the one that
ID not on times side, lamenting as
none but mother can, for the sweet
prattle of her babe--lost in the. cav
erns of the deep sleep that falleth on
her habe in it's casket.
Mr.. and Mrs Darby Drafts, whose
little Ina was consigned to it's last
resting place in Pilgrim cemetery on
Sunday, 9Th instant, have the sym
pathy of the entire community in
their bereavement. Rev. ]. A. Gro

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
There are useful and useless gallons.
\ Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with
dryer and color; useless paint is whit
ing, china-clay, ground stone, barytes,
benzine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because it is
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make
more gallons to sell; of course, the
buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't
buy it. 80
It costs as much to brush-oh this
useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but
it looks like that and feels like that
in the brush; the>painter doesn't sus-
pect it. Besides, it the owner is will
ing. why should theepainter object to
painting two gallons for one? He is
paid by the day; more gallons, more
days., more money.
Average paint at fnll price is about
one-third this useless stuff; and aver.
age paint st $1.25 or $1.5o or $1.75 q
gallon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint
is the pbpsr name for all but pure
paint; it is made to fool people with.
KnaHe paint is another good name; it
is made, of course, by knaves. Sick
paint is name for an honest weak
p3int. They are all weak and all ex-
trayagant: too many gallons to buy
and too many gallons to brush-on.
Devoe is the standard.
F. w. Devoe & Co.
P. s. The Kaufmann Drug Co. sells
our paint.

Youag Lady Disappears.

Last Sunday aweek Miss Sallie
Shannon, one of the most beautiful
and highly respected young ladies OF
New Brookland and a teacher in the
Lutheran Sunday School, disappeared
from her home and has not been
seen since, although every effort has
been put forth by her distracted
parents and friends to find her where
abouts. She left Immediately after
having quarreled with her sweetheart,
to whom she was to have been mar
ried in a very short time, and went
toward the Congaree bridge. This
was the last seen of her and it is be-
lieved by many that she committed
suicide by jumping from the bridge
into the turbulent waters below.
Several theories have been suggested,
but from the facts gathered the young
lady has undoubtedly killed herself,
and the probability is that she will
never be seen again until the waters
Snail have given up their dead.
The young lady's mysterious disap-
pearanee has cast q gloom of sadness
over the entire town.

How 70 Tell Good Pork.

The greatest care should be. exer-
cised in buying pork, whether fresh
or salted, says THE DEL1NEAToR for
January. Pork should be white and
fine grained in the lean; the fat of 2
pinkish white and free from kernels
or specks, the skin thin and the bones
small. When pork is stale it is not
fit to eat. -
It's quality and digestibility depend
so entirely upon the feeding and the
keeping of the pig, that it should
never be bought unless from sellers
who can be relied upon.

LIES DYING LIKE A STOIC
The PitiabIe Case of a Prominent
ElbertOn Man Who Was Vic
tim OF HydrOphObia.

An ElbertOn, Ga. dispatch says:
Awaiting the final suffering and aw-
full death that is supposed to be eX
perienced in such cases Matthew Ber-
man, well known citizen who was
badly bitten by a mad dog four
weeks ago, calmly resigns himself to
fate.
Physicians in charge say that he
has all the symptoms, and that it is
simply a question of time when the
end will come.
He is fully aware of his condition,
and has accepted the dreadful truth
with the calmness of a stole, lying
on his bed very guilty., except when
seized with a parOxysm OF trembling.
At the sight of water, or even the
mention of it, he Immediately makes
a noise like that of a dog barking.
The physicians say this is really not
bark, as is supposed to be the case,
but that water is so repugnant to
his system that the mere thought of
it acts upon the muscles in such a
manner as to force the air out of the
lungs, thus producing the noise so
much like the bark of a dog.
On the night of October list, while
returning from his store, dog
sprang into the face Of Mr.. Berman.
biting his underlip entirely off It
was too dark to see the dog, which
Immediately disappeared, and it was
impossible to say whether or not it
was mad.
Mr.. Berman went to Atlanta to the
Pasteur Institute the following day
and took the treatment there for two
weeks. At the end of which time
he returned to Elberton continuing
the treatment at home. The physi-
clans at the institute told him at
the time tina he could no have been
bitten in a wore place. He seemed
to be getting along nicely, however
and not until last night did any
symptoms of hydTOphObia appear.
Mr.. Berman is a highly respected
merchant of Elberton, having been
in business here for a number of
years. He has wife and several
children.

AN EMPTY TILL AND PRESSING BILLS


the pace fixed by the present admin
istration.
When the legislature of 1907
Topped off the whiskey revenue and
added 100000 and $25O,000 re-
spectiyely to the school funds of
1908 and 1909 over and above pre-
yious appropriations to that source
it was expected that property values
would keep up the rate of increase
as was shown for that year. On this
hypothesis-and, at that time, it was
a reasonable one-the lawmakers cal
culated that the deficit made proba-
Bile by the prohibition act would be
met by increased revenue from direct
taxation.
The panic came and values
dropped. Instead Of about $4,000
600 increase in property values for
1908, as was the case in 1907, the
authorities will count the state for
tunate ii the digest retains its 1907
standard of returns.
Reports of Tax Receivers.
The reports Of tax receivers show
an Increase of about $5.000,000 in
the returns Of property as made to
them for the present year. This will
be more than met by the decreases
in the returns and fixed assessments
on corporate property. Practically
no big corporation will pay taxes on
a larger assessment than was paid
