Never use a brush when cleaning silk
goods. Wipe carefully with piece of
velvet.
When pressing wollen goods cover
with sheet of brown paper in place of
cloth. No lint will be the result.
To remove jelly from a glass put
glass for two or three minutes in warm

If you put ordinary blueing in the

In the Sweet Bye and Bye

In about 1885, when we shall have
made our stake and can print paper
just as we please, our items will be
more interesting For instance:
Ike Lofer was bitten by dog the
first of the week. The dog has since
died Of nausea.
We are pleased to mention the death
of Chet Worthless which occurred the
first of the week.
Jim Nogude says he never could
understand how a fellow gets up
energy enough to wash his feet every
week.
AL Idle, our champion long distance
whittier, says if people could ap-
p;'eciate his carvings he could help
support his family by IL art which he
has spent his life at perfecting.
Abe Fossil whose house always looks
like it was vacant, says he'll never buy
a window blind. "No one ever uses
them, says Abe, "only Vhen they're
going to bed, and you don't need 'em
then if you'll blow the light out first.
Mrs Swell and Mrs. Leader talked
over the phone for an even hour and
twelve minutes by actual count one
day this week, and well bet neither OF
them could have told what they had
talked about ten minutes after they
finally rang off.

Facts Worth Knowing.

There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday The
same calendars can be used every
twenty years. October always begins
on the same day of the week as January
April as July, September as December.
February, March and November begin
on the same days. May, June and
August always begin on different days
from each other end every other month
in the year. The first and last days OF
the year are always the same. These
rules do not apply to leap year, when
comparison is made between days be-
fore and after February %.

FRED c. MARTINDALE

AS promised in our last here is a
summary OF reasons given by over $50
of Michigan's leading citizens from the
various walks of life for supporting
Mr.. Martindale for Governor. All gave
several reasons. Some of the reasons
were given by nearly every one OF the
$50. The opinion quoted is in the
language OF some one person, it being
differently phrased by other.
/. Because he stands for all that is
good in public and private life"
2. Because from his record in posi-
tons of trust we would be assured Of
an honest, straightforward economical
business administration.
3. "He neither stampedes nor eff
fervesces, but is always right"
4 "He is man of deeds rather than
words; he keeps every promise. With
him there are no empty or broken
promises or mere platitudes.
5. 81 consider him square-toed,
honest man and one who will give
everybody square deal.
6. because with him for Governor
every man, woman and child, and
every interest and industry would be
guaranteed square deal. All men,
rich and poor, with or without political
influence, look alike to him and receive
the same treatment at his hands.
7. Because he is a vote-getter and
his nomination would mean a united
party and guarantee a Republican
victory, not only for the entire State
ticket but for the Congressional, Legis-
lative and County tickets as we'll"
s. "He is progressive and yet con-
servative; progressive, insofar that he
advocates and works for every measure
that is for the good of the common
people; conservative, insofar that he
believes in protection to every human
and property right"
g. "Having been associated with him
in the Legislature, know him to be
right on public issues and well qualifi.
ed for the position of Governor.
10. "His record is one Of service and
he has proven faithful to every trust
and thereby endeared himself to the
common people"
II. "Of all the candidates, Mr.. Mar
tindale is best fitted by experience,
training and temperament to be
Governor of great State like ours"
In the election Of 1910 Mr. Martindale
running on the same ticket, had $4,000
plurality more than Osborn, and in 1912
$1,000 more thon Musselman and 10000
more than our popular Lieutenant
Governor Ross.

4 TRAGEDY IN HARD WOOD.

Once upon a time family tina;
moved away from Marietta gave a
fine old mahogany bedstead to the
colored man who helped pack their
to ship. The posts of the bed were
too high for the roof of the colored
mans little cabin so he left them out
doors in the weather and finally
split them up to kindle fires with.
Mr.. Murray Weems had heard of the
bedstead and when he arrived upon
the scene with about $4,000 in his
purse to buy it-behold the pile of
kindling in carved mahogany bed
posts.
Another family that moved away
from Marietta gave an old fashioned
chest of drawers" as English nov
elists call them to an old cOlored
woman because it was so dilapidated
and dfngy.
ar. Weems CHANGED to see it and
bought 1t for S5OU which the old
darky was delighted to receive. The
Wizard in Wood work" rubbed his
ffgurative rabbit foot over the poor
old piece of British furniture, re-
stored the integrity of the drawers,
polished the antique brass handles,
TnIaid stripes of maple around the
chest and made wide frame for a
mirror to match both the mahogany
and fnlaid maple and behold a dis
eliminating and able Atlanta man
has paid Mr.. Weems $50 for the old
bureau" that once srank in a cor
ner of Aunt Chloes cabin. And

The hearty ovation which the peo-

1t will be one of my cherished

approval which the people of Geor-

haigning and righteous principles of
government for the upIift of the
masse of citizens
1t occurs to me today, as it did be-

Governor, that there is an oppor-
tunity for Georgia to set the pace
for other states in high ideals of law
enforcement and in providing more
ample Legislation for the protection

If the war in Europe continues
the price of cotton will drop and it
would pay our farmers to SOW more
grain and grow more corn.
Dat growing is profitable where
tie crop is followed with peas.
Mr.. John p. Cheney is trying to
demonstrate that a net profit of
more than $4,000 per acre can be
realized on four and a half acres of
land on his farm. From this he
threshed 243 bushels of fine Full
ghum oats this year which is an
average of 76 bushels per acre.
On one acre ne grew SO bushels of
these oats.
He states that he will soon have
all of them sold at $500 per bushel,
and that he has a pea crop on tho
land which is sure to give him two
tons Of cured hay per acre or 9 tons
in all, and that the total cost of the
oat crop and hay crop will not ex-
coed $1,000 counting every ex-
pense.
This looks like good farming for
Cobb county and shows what tho
rough preparation, proper fartiliza-
ton and good seed will do on our
lands.
