A FARTHING
TO GAIN FORTUNE
SWAMP LANDS OF GEORGIA
SHOULD YIELD LARGE
REVENUES.

A great deal OF money has been
spent and is being spent in Early eoun
ty for drainage OF low lands, and there
are still vast areas of lowlands I'M
touched in different sections Of the
state and those who own these wet
swamps or pond lands will be inter
ested in the following from the Allan
ia Journal.
Swamp and overflow lands in
Georgia are valued at from 67 cents
to s1.26 an acre, according to the rec
oFds of the comptroller generals of
ice; and the states annual income in
taxes from such lands is now a little
more than $4,000.
1T is conseryatively reckoned that
.ifthese u pds were drained they would
sell for least $50 an acre, for they
are natN aliy very fertile and are
capable Of producing luxuriant crops.
Instead Of yielding a tax revenue of
only some $4,000, as now. they would
turn into the states treasury every
year s675.OOO
" If the legislature will appropriate
$4,000 for period Of five years for
drainage surveys, the United States
government viii contribute an equal
amount TO the same purpose and VIII
render other valuable assistance in
carrying forward this important work
in Georgia. Surely the state viii do
well to spend a comparatively small
sum in order to gain fortune
A bin to this end is pending. It
is earnestly hoped that 1t will receive
the committees recommendation and
the hearty support Of the general as
sembly as whole.

OLD FIELD SCHOOL
NOW IN SESSION
PROBABLY THE ONLY INsTITU-
TON OF IT'S KIND IN
THE WORLD.

Judge Parks "Old Field School, IS
in session. 1t is probably the only
Institution OF its kind in the world
and its home is in Worth county. The
school is the idea Of Judge Frank
Park of the Albany circuit, and its
purpose is to give men who have not
mad the advantages Of an education a
chance to study the elementary
branches without the embarrassment
Of attending public school with
children.
The school is held in the summer
time, when the weather is good, after
the crops are laid by and the farmers
have leisure time. Books and tuition
are free and Judge Park has the CO.
operation OF the county school author
tiles.
The first term of the school was
held four years ago and it proved pop
ular at once. The Worth county
court house was used and the sehol-
ars who came from distance brought
their dinners and spent the day. Each
year the school has grown more pop
ular and it is now being held in a
different community each term. in or
der that all sections Of the county
may get the benefit of it.
The school this year is being held
In the Union church community. 1t
has been in session two weeks and
will continue from two to six weeks
longer. Two competent instructors
are IN charge. Already the atten-
dance numbers over ninety, and the
church building has overlooked, many
OF the students sitting on logs under
meath pines near the church. Only
the elementary understanding
writing and arithmetic--are taught
and the pupils range in years from
ten to sixty. Webster's blue-back
speller is the principal book used.
The students come on horseback, in
buggies, wagons and a-foot, come
early and stay all day. Each days
session c'oses with d big spelling
match and the sight Of the ninety
students in line-old men, young men
youths and childrenrris as striklng a.

THE FINEST LAXATIVE
 IN 5000 YEARS
PURE CASTOR OIL, TAsTELEss.
TasteIess in The True Sense. Moi Flavored or Altered. The Smell
 and Taste Removed.

For 5000 years castor oil has been the worlds best laxative, but until now an offensive, sickening taste has limited its use.
 For 5000 years chemists have tried to remove the taste.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is just what the name means-a pure, clear, refined oil without any taste. It is a new discovery of Spencer Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo, large refners of vege- table oils
 Anybody can disguise the taste of cas- tor oil by mixing it with alcohol, winter green, peppermint or other favors, but it renamed for the Kelloggs to keep the oil pure and make it tasteless. Kel- logg's Tasteless Castor Oil works even better than the old, evil dose, without pain or gripping. Children take it easily.
 Sold now in all drug stores. 25c and 50c. Ask for Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil and look for the trade mark on the label-a green castor leaf, bearing the Kellogg signature. Made only by Spen. cer Kellogg & Sons. Inc, Buffalo, N. Y, refiners of vegetable oils.

Writing Christmas
 "Thank You' Notes

~ F course, Santa Claus will bring you some note paper. Perhaps
 he will bring you some pret- ty correspondence cards with your initial in the corner. The first use to make of any such present is in writing ''Thank you" notes to the per sons who have sent you Christmas presents
 Don't let your mother or big sister take this pleasure away from you. Re member this is a part of the Christmas fun. If you make 1t work it will be your own fault Commence thinking beforehand what you want to say in those neatly written Thank you" | notes. If you have something all thought out half the work is already done
 One of the first things you'd think of if you were speaking directly to the giver would be just what the present was. You wouldn't say to Cousin Kate, for instance. Thank you for your present" You would be pretty sure to say just what the gift was This is one of the big things to remem- peL WHcu gOu WElle yOuI Iuduk you notes. Mention the present in each case. '- This gives real personal touch to your note and proves that you didn't l get your presents mixed up. If you are one of the fortunate children who | get ever so many presents be sure to | keep track of the names of the givers If there is card attached don't take 1t off until you are sure you will re- member just who gave you that partic- ular sled or doll or music box.
 | If you are afraid of spelling some sheets of your pretty new paper be- fore you get the note nicely placed get some one to cut a couple of pieces of ordinary paper of just the same size as your Christmas note paper. With a little practice you will learn just how far up on the page to begin and about how far down on the page your name will come. No one expects a long let ter just at Christmas time, but every one has right to expect a prettily expressed, neatly written note of thanks when there is no chance for a "Thank you" in words.

Whenever children go to bed And hang their stockings up with care I pray that Santa Claus somehow Will find the time to journey there. pray no little child will wake At morn to find upon his cot An empty stocking and to weep Because old Santa Claus forgot. For Santa Claus is not alone The patron saint of rich, I'm sure, But he Is loved as dearly by The little children of the poor. And so I pray that he may find The poorest urchin in the land And that no little trusting child May wake to weep and understand.

The Shoppers,

Oh, have you seen the shopping crush Where all the bargains are? With pallid face and solemn hush Man views 1t from afar, But woman braves the awful din And does not lose her head, And angels, so to speak, rush in Where others fear to tread. She carries bundles in each hand And meath her elbows, too, And with a smile so sweet and bland Still looks for something new. Our football giants would not chance The broken limbs and necks They risk whom in our ignorance We style 'the weaker sex.''
