THINGS HAPPEN FAST NOW
The Difference That There Is Now
and What Was But Twenty
Years Ago.

Not one out of hundred of the
readers of The Observer who have
reached the age of fifty years has
possibly Thought back" a little and
paid attention to what has been in
vented and perfected. and what has
been changed in the last 20 years A
Henry county editor has however,
and here are some of the things AS
they existed in that but brief genera
tlon back:
Ladies' wore bustles.
Operations were rare.
Nobody swatted the fly.
Nobody had seen a silo.
Nobody had appendicitis.
Nobody wore white shoes.
Nobody sprayed orchards.
Cream was cents quart.
Most young men had 'llvery bills"
Canteloupes were muskmelons
You never heard of Tin Lizzie"
Doctors wanted to see your tongue.
Milk shake was a favorite drink.
Advertisers did not tell the truth.
Nobody cared for the price OF saso-
line.
Farmers came to town for their
mail:
The hired girl drew one fifty a
week
The butcher threw in" chunk Of
liver.
Folks said pneumatic tires were a
joke.
Nobody listened in" on a telephone.
There were no sane Fourths nor
electric motors.
Strawstacks were burned instead Of
baled.
Publishing a country newspaper was
not business.
People thought English sparrows
were birds"
Jules Verne was the only convert
to the submarine.
You stuck tubes in your ears to
hear a phonograph and it cost a dime
lnfantlle paralysis was spinal men
gifts. appendicitis was inflammation OF
the bowels. and tuberculosis was con-
sumption. Babies died of summer
complaint"
