1hs Progressive Farmer:
After all, the great trouble with us
here In the South 10 that we have
been mere choppers instead of farm.
ers. We have thought only of what
we could get out Of the land this year,
and have failed to look ahead to next
year, or to the year after, or ten or
twenty years from now, 1t is scarcely
too much to say that the man who
works farm for twenty years, look
ing only to each years crop as he
raises it. will at the end Of that time
have e poor farm; and that the man
who farms the same land for twenty
years, keeping the future welfare of
this land always In view, will at the
end Of the period have a rich farm and
a good home.
We must get this forward-looking
spirit: and we must get over our old
foolish notion that farming is merely
a matter of buying fertilizers in the
spring and selling crops in the fall.
The demand to-day is for men who
will set to work. in small way if nee.
essary, but with a fixed purpose, to
make their farming lands steadily
more fertile and their homes and
home surroundings more attractive
and cheerful. II all the farmers could
be quickened by such purpose, their
work and their example would literal.
ly remake the rural South in the next
twenty years. Under their care the
quilted hillsides would become green
pastures; the unsightly and unhealthy
swamps would be transformed by
drainage into the country's most fer
tile fields: the old rickety buildings
and the untidy farmyards would give
place to painted houses, whitewashed
fences, and smiling lawns framed and
bordered with trees and flowers and
climbing vines. The cultivated lands
would add to their fairness year by
year. and larger crops and larger pro-
Ats would make the farmers work
and life increasingly more pleasant
and more useful to the world.

CLEAN YOUR TEETH.

How many, or rather how few peo.
pie know that the tongue carries dis.
ease germs to the teeth. Foreign par.
ticles frequently adhere to the rough
or upper side Of the tongue, and be-
side it is often coated with what Ia
called dental fur" This fur is yell
lowish white substance and is found
on the teeth and tongue of every one
who does not clean his or her teeth
and mouth at least twice a day. This
deposit usually forms so quickly that
even the most fastidious have some
times to be careful lest it settle on the
teeth.
If the teeth cannot be brushed fire.
quently during the day, then 1t is ad.
visable to brush them the first thing
in the morning and the last thing be-
fore retiring at night. These two acts
alone. il the teeth and mouth and
tongue are properly cleaned, will do
much toward preserving the teeth.
SO many women brush the teeth In
a hap-hasard fashion. They brush
vigorously enough, but they are not
particular enough to see that the
brushing is carried on properly. The
brush Is wet and then sprinkled with
powder, the teeth get quick brush.

HOW TO LIVE cHEApLY.
Louisiana Democrat:

Louisiana Democrat:
Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be-
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re-
sources. Set a fashion of simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness which others will be glad to fol-
low and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without thous-
and and one pretty and snowy little
things which wealthy people purchase,
and pride yourself on being just as
happy without them as your rich
neighbors are with them. Put SO
much dignity, sincerity, kindness, vir-
tue and love into your simple and in
expensive home that it's members will
never miss the costly fipperies and
snowy adornments of fashion, and be
happier in the coy and comfortable
apartments than most Of our wealthy
neighbors are in their splendid apart
ments.

Belshazzar in ancient Bibli-

meaning.
How many business men, for ex.
ample, have yet read the message
In parcel Post?'
The parcel post enables the small
merchant to deliver goods to custo-
mers within his zone more cheaply
and much more quickly than any
outsider can. 1t brings every buyer
within fifty mile radius of his
place of business almost to his
door. 1t opens up facilities for
trade that he never had before.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "ouIz."

The word quiz" is one of the few
English words which has no root nor
genealogical meaning to give hint
of what 1t signifies.
1t is said, in fact, that the manu-.
facturer Of the word himself did not
know what 1t meants. He made it UP
jokingly, according to the following
story OF the words origin:
Many years ago there lived in Dub.
lin person whose name was Daily.
According to custom he and a party
Of friends were gathered together one
evening, when he made a wager that
by the end Of the following day every
man In Dublin would be speaking a
word having no meaning and being
derived from no language known.
The wager was eagerly taken up by
Days associates, who were sure that
he had no chance of winning under
the circumstances.
DAILY owned among other things a
theatre and after the party had brok.
en- up he called up all the men con-
neeted with the theatre, assigned to
each certain portion of the city, sup.
piled them with chalk and instructed
them to write the letters QUIZ on
every door and shop window in town
before daylight. His orders were car
ried out 90 efeetually that before the
morning OF the following day was over
everybody was asking of his neighbol
the meaning OF the mysterious WORD
quiz" The ignorance of its meaning
aud it's sudden appearance all over
the city created talk and conjecture
for many day.
When the truth that it was all 6
joke came out the word was adopted
as synonym for jest and expires
sive also Of puzzle because of tn,
questions and general perplexity |
had aroused.
| To quiz means, therefore, in on,
sense, to ask questions, and In othe
to quiz a person means to jest witt
or poke fun at him.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.
Louisiana Democrat:

Louisiana Democrat:
There are times when everything
seems to go wrong. From Z o'clock
a. m. till 10 p, m. affairs are in twist.
You rise in the morning, and the room
is cold and button is off, and the
beefsteak is tough, and the stove
smokes, and the pipes burst, and you
start down the street nettled from
head to foot. All day long things are
adverse. Insinuations, petty losses,
meanness on the part of customers.
The ink bottle upsets and spoils the
carpet. Some one gives a wrong turn
to the damper, and the gas escapes.
An agent comes in determined to in
sure your life, when it is already in
sured for more than it is worth, and
! you are afraid some one will knock
you on the head to get the price of
your policy; but he sticks to you.

the hour glass, and the deaths scythe,
and skeleton, making it quite GER
tain that you will die before your time
unless you take out papers in his com.
pany. Besides this you have cold in
your head, and a grain of dirt in your
eye, and you are walking uneasiness.
The day is out of joint and no surgeon
can set it. The probability is that IL
you would look at the weather vane
you would find that the wind Is north.
east, and you might remember that
you have lost much sleep lately. 1t
might happen to be that you are out
Of joint instead of the day. Be care
full and not write many letters while
you are in that irritable mood. You
will pen some things in the way of
criticism or fault finding that you will
be sorry for afterward Let us re-
member that these spiked nettles of
| life are part of our discipline. Life
would get nauseating if it were all
honey. The table would be poorly set
that had on it nothing but treacle.
We need little vinegar, mustard,
pepper and horse.radish that brings
the tears even when we do not feel
pathetic. If this world were all
|smoothness we should never be ready
for emigration to higher and better.
clustering March and weeping April
prepare us for shining May. This world
Is poor hitching post. Instead Of ty-

THE "cARisTMAs SHIPS"

Memphis Commercial-Appeai:
Across the wide Atlantic, out Of the
storm and stress Of long voyages from
far-off German ports, they come to US,
the Christmas ships" laden with the
cargoes of toys that are to make glad
the gray dawn of Dec. %.
Through the long winter evenings
and the hot summer days since Santa
Claus made his last visit to babyland,
the toy.makers of Germany and Swift
zerland have piled their tasks Of mold
ing and cumming and sewing and
painting and finishing all the play
things that children love. In some OF
these families toy.making has been
the profession for generations, faith.
ers and mothers teaching the art to
the oncoming generation. Faithfully
these have worked for the past
months, heaping up great stores OF
dolls and tops and wagons and picture
books and all the other things that
spell Christmas" to the children OF
the world.
Their work becomes monotonous
but it must be sweet thought that
they labor only for Joy and peace and
love. Other hands fashion the instru
ments of war and pain; they give form
to nothing that is not meant for hap
piness. They work with the echo Of
childish laughter in their ears, the
vision of childish smiles before theil

DECORATION DAY.

Some two hundred men and womel
and children ere at the court house
Friday afternoon at the Decoration
Day exercises. Considering the in.
clement weather the audience was
gratifying large and showed hal the
people of Macon heartily sympathize
with the noble work of the Walter
Barker Chapter of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy.
Hon. Emmett Cavett, himself a vet.
eran full of honors, and deserving Of
them all, presided over the meeting at
the request of the Daughters. The
exercises were opened by the singing
of America, Miss Dinsmore at the or
gan and Mrs. Tatum Dent, Mrs. Will
Conner and Miss Elizabeth Bass and
Messrs. Wyatt Jones, ST., ]. j. Scott
and T. T. Patty constituting the choir.
The music throughout was most ex-
cellent and thoroughly enjoyed.
The opening song was followed by
prayer by Hon. T. W. Brame. Then
came a duet-Oh, Morning Landry
Miss Bass and Mr.. Scott. Mrs. L. F.
Holberg, president of the chapter, then
presented. amid applause, a cross of
honor to Mr.. John Stage. a veteran of
'64. That sweet old song, so sad and
yet 80 sweet. Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground, was then sung.
In a fine and reminiscent way Mr..
Cavett introduced the speaker Of the
day, VIM. B. Lucus, ESQ.,, referring to
the part his ancestors and kinsmen had
in the time of the Civil War.
Mr.. Cavett endorsed the idea of en-
young men in the work of she
u. d. G. and expressed the hope that
some day his own grandson, Emmett
Cavett, would deliver the address on
such an occasion.
Mr.. Lucas speech had been antici-
pated with a great deal of interest,
and none of his audience was disap-
pointed. His eDunciation was clear
and distinct, his diction good and the
matter of his speech excellent. Missis-
sippi, her glory and greatness. her
fame and renown and the greatness of
her sons and daughters were the theme
Of the address. Especial stress vas
laid on her course during the Civil War
and the heroism of her men and women
