When a preacher rails against the
sins and inquities of Sodom and Go
morah the people say "Amen". When
he touches upon evil of the twentieth
century they say he ought to preach
the gospel.
Never has an event been enjoyed
more than the Valentine box given
by Prof. B. F. Whitney and Miss
Frances Davis at Olive Springs school
on Thursday afternoon. Some very
nice and appropriate valentines were
gladly received by the children and
teachers, and all returned to their
homes and bade each other farewell
until Valentine day again.
We had some fine weather the past
week for the farmers to finish gath
ering their cotton, and some also fin
ished gathering their corn.
There are two good rules which
ought to be written on every heart
never to believe anything bad about
anybody unles you positively know
it to be true; never tell even that un-
less you feel that it is absolutely ne
cessary.

The shadow of death again fell over
our midst Wednesday night about IL
o'clock and claimed for its victim
our esteemed friend and neighbor,
Mr.. John McInnes, who had been in
feeble health for some little time.
Everything that medical aid and low
ing hands could do was done but we
know God does all things and that he
never makes mistakes. Funeral
services were conducted from the
home by Rev. r. R. Claiborne on
Friday morning. He is survived by a
wife and several children. The in
terment was in Malony Springs ceme-

this sad hour.

may be raised in small numbers sue
cessfully and at profit on farms
where there is low, rough pasture land
with a natural supply of water. Geese
are generally quite free from disease
and insect pests, but occasionally are
affected by ailments common to poui-
try. Grass makes up the bulk of their
food, and for this reason pasturage is
essential. A body of water, while not
absolutely essential, is valuable where
geese are raised, and some breeders
consider it important during the breed
ing season. Geese are good foragers,
and for this reason many farmers in
the South keep them to kill the weeds
in the cotton fields.
Geese need little protection in the
way of a house, except in winter and
during stormy weather. Some kind of
a shelter should be provided for the
young goslings, and the same precau-
lions taken in raising chickens as to
keep the coops and houses clean and
provided with plenty of straw scat
tered about the floor, should be taken.
Geese like other kinds of poultry,
should be selected for size, prolificacy
and vitality. They should be mated
several months prior to the breeding
season to obtain the best results. Good
matings are not changed from year to
year unless the results are unsatisfac-
tory. A gander may be mated with
from one to four geese, but pair or
trio matings usually give the best re-
suits. When mated, geese are allowed
to run in flocks. From four to twenty
five geese may be kept on an acre Of
land, and under most conditions ten
is fair average.

REALLY SEEMED ONLY WAY
Smiths Idea Was Bright Enough it the
Horse Would Only Do His
Part in the Game.

John Smith bought horse. The
first Sunday after the purchase he and
his bosom pal harnessed the horse to
trap and went into the country on
a fishing trip. At the shore of the lake
they embarrassed the horse, and let
it loose while they fished.
Presently the sun began to go down,
and Smith and pal decided to get ready
for the return journey. They caught
the horse, and Smith began to harness
it. But here they met difficulty.
The horse wouldn't open its mouth for
the bit.
They tried every means they could
think of, but still the stubborn animal
stood with closed mouth, placidly
watching them.
At last Smith sat on the ground and
began to tell Questionable, moth
eaten jokes, that Adam would have
thought chestnuts.
"What on earth are you doing?'
asked Smiths pal.
Trying to get the beast to yawn,"
said Smith.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get it now!

His Retort

Do you feel tired and "worn-out?"
Are you nervous and irritable? Don't
sleep well at night? Have a dragged
out" unrested feeling when you get
up in the morning? Dizzy spells? Bill
ious? Bad taste in the mouth, back
ache, pain or soreness in the loins,
and abdomen? Severe distress when
urinating, bloody, cloudy urine or sed-
iment? All these indicate gravel or
stone in the bladder, or that the poi
sonous microbes, which are always in
your system, have attacked your kid
neys.
You should use GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules Immediately.
The oil soaks gently into the walls
and lining of the kidneys, and the lit
tie poisonous animal germs, which are
causing the inflammation, are imme-
diately attacked and chased out of
your system without inconvenience or
pain.

PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Young Fowls Can Be Fed Advantage
ously While on Grass or Con-
fined in Small Yards.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Before marketing the young geese
the average farmer can feed advan-
tageously a fattening ration either
while the geese are on grass range or
confined to small yards, but it is doubt
full whether it would pay him to con-
fine them to individual or small pens
and make a speciality of fattening I'M
less he has special market or retail
trade for well-fattened stock.
Geese are usually killed and picked
in the same manner as other kinds of
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while in other markets
no difference is made in the price of
scalded or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved, fowls should
not be scalded but should be picked
dry before or after steaming.

That there is big money in raising
geese is conceded by every one who

by foraging in the pastures and mead

HOW HE SAVED HIS HOG

A good merchant friend of ours
tells US that people of a. classes are
more interested in the raising of
foodstuffs of all kinds, especially hogs,
than thew have ever been before since
he has been in business. A short
time ago a colored man came into
his store and was very much disturb
ed over the fact that his hog was
sick, and he had so far been unable
to find anything to do the animal
any good. Thereupon our friend
suggested a remedy for the hogs.
The colored man then went home,
tried the remedy, which saved the
hog and his meat for another year
-an example which others would do
well to follow. The colored man
made the following statement to our
friend later as to how he saved his
hog.
