TWO BACHELORS TRYING
TO SELL THEIR HOME

Recently two bachelors, of Column
bus, Ca, purchashed one of the best
homes in Marietta, Ca, Ga ten room
dwelling and nearly six acres in grove
around IT'D Now, they say, "If they
only had a sweet singing bird, each,
to fit from tree to tree, Groom to
room and sing love songs, and coo
and coo,"-O! My! Gee! Wouldn't
that be fine?
Alas! they have no hope of such
good luck And, they are unwillingly
offering said paradise for sale to be
'cried off by both of them on the first
Tuesday in May, in front of the court
house in Marietta. Boo-Hoo-OO!-
We certainly are ging to attend that
crying; for, we are already assured
there will be much wailing and CASH
ing of teeth, all because there is no
nightingale, nor mocking bird" to
sing to them while they dance around
the "may pole" or to the music.
One of said bachelors says he would
be perfectly happy if he only had a
sweet little "humming Bird" then,
he knows he could hum some two,-
Just at the right time and place; that
is, whenever she gave the command.
And when she began to buzz around
the flower, Cor thorn bush,) he'd be
Jimmy on the spot"-jump up and
say "Yes-um! I'm here to do your
bidding"
He further says they would not sell
that beautiful home, tiff! Neverthe-
less, the place must sell at the ap-
pointed time and place. For, they
would be entirely too lonely there
"by their lonesome selves" O!-um-
O! UNI N.Y.!
Just think of it!-They already
have nearly six acres with large
house; and, at the same day and
place, there will be nine acres more
sold to highest bidder;-and said nine
acres adjoins said home, that would
mean a farm of fifteen acres, with
an elegant dwelling, in one of the
best locations in Marietta, Ga. Yea!
that would mean they would then
have bird farm large enough to care
for many Nightingales and Hum
ming Birds.
What a chance here for some one
who is not, and cannot be a bachelor.

Special Investigations to prevent se.

sects has been q part Of the impor.
tant wartime work Of the bureau Of
entomology, United States department
of agriculture. Recent Investigations
of logging and manufacturing opera.
tons in Mississippi to meet the de-
mand for ash oars, handles, and other
supplies required by the war service
showed that one company had lost
more than 100000 feet Of ash logs
through failure to provide for prompt
utilization after the trees were cut
and thus prevent the attack or de-
structive ash-wood borers. The gen.
eral adoption Of the methods advised
by this bureau has resulted in q con-
tinued reduction of the heretofore Sc
rious losses of seasoned ash and other
hardwood sap material from powder
