DISAPPoINTMENTS.

HOW seldom do results conform
To guesses in advance!
The end that we regarded cinched
Is but the work OF chance.
We have scheme all cooked and primed
And held beneath our thumb.
But from the chute where coin should flow
The money doesn't come.
In looking over seasoned plans
That run like Christmas clocks
We do not see exactly how
They could drift on the rocks
Or how they could at harvest time
Their features fair unmask,
But that's exactly what they do
If any one should ask.
What fortunes in their certain grasp
They hold. these dazzling dreams!
What glowing pictures of success,
OF barks on placid streams.
What sure, for certain. double x
Returns they keep in view
Until we break the brittle shell
And find the worst is trueI
No: as we get along in life
The sober fact we face
That half the phantoms we pursue
Can beat US in the chase
As one by one our schemes fall down
Or slowly face about
1t comes to US as a surprise
II one OF them works out.

Perhaps no town of any size in
Georgia gets as poor accommodations
from a railroad as the Seaboard Air
Line gives the travelling public
in Dawson. 1t is often the case
that passengers are forced to squeeze
alongside of box cars on the siding
when alighting from or boarding the
trains, and ladies and children are
forced to run the risk of being run
over by the porters in transferring
baggage across the narrow passage
between the main line and the depot.

way to cure deafness. and that is by constitI.

have rumblinR sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi.

fore Midnight Tuesday.
The city registration books for the
election of May 18th, when a pro-
posed bond issue of $12,5OO for en-
larging the public school building,
will be submitted to the qualified
voters of the city, will close tonight
(Tuesday), and all who fail to reg
lister cannot participate in the cleo
ton.
Very little interest has been taken,
and the registration will perhaps be
the smallest in the history of the
city. The registration for the last
election for mayor and councilmen
was 42O, and the registration for the
bond election Tuesday at noon was
only 15S, with but few more hours
for the books to remain open.
1t will take two-thirds of those
who are registered when the books
close Tuesday night to carry the
election for bonds, and as only those
who favor bonds have taken an in
terest in registration the requisite
number will in all probability be Sc
cured.
