Explicit information Wanted.

An American, while visiting King
ston, Can, recently saw flames is
suing from a house he CHANGED to
he passing at noontime. Rushing
round the corner, he burst into
fire engine station, shouting "Fire!"
At his entrance and cry an old
man, the only occupant of the station,
who sat reading a newspaper, slow
" rose, carefully deposited his, paper
on the chair and hobbled over to q
desk. on which was a large book.
Now said he, taking up pencil
and opening this volume, while the
American stared in amazement.
"Wot's the street and number?"
81 don't knoW, but it's just around
the corner.
"Well, you'd better go back and
find out the number" advised the
old man, shutting the book. when
the boys git back from dinner and
hear there's fire, they'll be pretty
anxious to know just where it is!"

Weather siqns.

In wet or stormy weather cats vii!
wash behind their ears, dogs scratch
the ground, moles build their little
mounds of earth, bats fly about in a
restless manner and penetrate into
the houses. When the skylark
sings and the cock crows earlier than
usual it is a sign that a storm is
brewing. At such time, too, rocks
and ravens utter their hoarse cries.
geese and ducks are agitated, and
swallows fly low because the insects
on which they live are nearer the
earth.-London Globe.

BOIL WEEVlL In GEORGIA.
EPest Will Soon Arrive in This State
If Not Checked.

Atlanta. Ga.-"The boil weeyil is
travelling from the west toward Geor-
ola at the rate of from seventy-f1ve
to one hundred miles year" said
state Entomologist e. L. Worsham
at the state capitol, land l believe il
it is. not checked it will reach the cot
ton field of Georgia within four or
five years.
This statement was prompted by
the fact that a monster meeting OF
the agricultural association, entomol-
ogists etc. who are interested in the
boil weeyil plague, will be held in
Natchez. Miss, November Gath to the
9th, for the purpose of devising some
means, if possible, for combating this
menace to the cotton crop.
Entomologist Worsham has been in
yited to attend this meeting and has
accepted United States Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson will be
present, as will the various commits
sioners of agriculture throughout the
south.
A number of weevils thought to be
the boil weevil> have been sent to En-
tomologist Worsham this fall, but
upon investigation it has proved that
none of them are the dreaded boil
weevil, and Georgiasis free from this
pest up to this date. This department
is watching carefully all shipments OF
cotton seed and cotton seed hulls
from the infested districts, and to see
that the quarantine law is not evad-
ed. Because of the boil weevil in the
west. these tainted seed and bulls
are sold more cheaply than the Geor-
gia product, which is attracting some
of the merchants.
Entomologist Worsham urges that
cotton seed and cotton seed hulls be
purchased in Georgia from Georgians
to avoid running any risk:
In view of the fact that cotton seed
bulls and meal have come to be ae-
cepted as the best cattle feed in the
south, being cheaper and more bene-
fetal than any other cattle feed, a
great deal Of interest is attached to
the sale of the cotton seed and it's
by-products. The cotton seed Of Geor-
gia are up to the required standard.

DEDICATEs LIFE

TO EVANGELISM.
Miss Jennie Smith, the well known
railroad evangelist, who conducted a
series of tent meetings in Richmond,
Va, has a history full of unique and
unusual Incidents. For ten years she
was an invalid unable to move with
out assistance. Notwithstanding her
helpless condition, she spent a large
part of her time travelling from place
to place. Having relatives and friends
broadly scattered throughout the
country, she frequently made long
journeys on trains, coming in con-
tact with many train operatives. As
she could not rely upon her own
strength to insure her against the
inconvenience and dangers of travel,
she necessarily looked to the men
in charge of trains for aid. She says
they were very kind to her. handling
her cot or wheel chair always with
the utmost tenderness, and paying
her every other attention which a
helpless traveller could need.
AS a result of their kindness, she
became very strongly attached tosrall-
road men, and lived with the almost
single hope that she might some day
repay them for the service. Then"
she said, "after spending a whole
night in prayer, my affliction was re-
moved in the twinkling of an eye"
From that time she began the work
In which she is now engaged. For
the last Is years, with whatever
bodily discomforts and hardships she
has gone from ocean to ocean work
ing in the interests Of railroad men.

BUILD GOVERNMENT ROAD.
Roads May BE Constructed to Mill
tary Post Near Atlanta.

Rome, Ga.-In the opinion OF Hon.
Gordon Lee, a government road from
Chickamauga Park to the military post
near Atlanta will be constructed, pass
ing through Rome. Mr.. Lee thinks
the county commissioners of Walker
county will be favorable to the work
ing of convicts and that it will take
its quota for that purpose. The coun-
ty will likely approve bond issue
of 100000 for road construction.
There is already about so miles Of
government road in Walker county
ard VI bond issue will give an addi.
tional 100 miles.

demeanor convicts are at work on the

AsTONIsHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Wen With Change of
Food.

A great scientist has said we can
put off "old age" if we can only nour-
ish the body properly.
To do this the right kind Of food,
Of course, is necessary. The body
manufactures poisons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds on
food stuffs and unless sufficient OF the
right kind is used, the injurious ele-
ments overcome the good.
My grandmother, II years old,
writes N. Y. lady, had been an In
valid for IS years from what was
called consumption of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
Il saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that persuaded grandmother to try
1t. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for more than few min
utes.
"Sh- began Grape-Nuts with only 2
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain It, she
took little more until she could take
al Oh TOUR teaSpoonfulS at a meal
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old, and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that
instead Of dying she got well, ana
without drop Of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts." There's a
Reason"

Death BY Lightning.

The Supreme Deity in the Greek
and Roman religions, Zeus of Jupiter,
was supposed to be the manipulation
of the lightning, and the person
struck down by one of the fiery bolts
was especially distinguished, mas
much as he had been felled directly
by the King of the Gods. The dig
nifty of the killer was reflected, upon
the killed. In addition to this, the
opinion was quite universal that the
bodies of those struck by lightning
were incorruptible.-Th American.
